My Loss
I've lost my family.
I've lost my friends.
I've lost my hopes.
And want this to end.
I've lost my home.
I've lost my pride.
I've lost my dignity.
And just wish I'd died.
I've lost my dreams.
I've lost my trust.
I've lost my means.
It's all turned to dust.
I've lost my feelings.
I've lost my mind.
I've lost my sanity.
It all came from behind.
I've lost what I want.
I've lost what I need.
I've lost my love.
Life is not what it seems.
I've lost my friends.
I've lost my hopes.
And want this to end.
I've lost my home.
I've lost my pride.
I've lost my dignity.
And just wish I'd died.
I've lost my dreams.
I've lost my trust.
I've lost my means.
It's all turned to dust.
I've lost my feelings.
I've lost my mind.
I've lost my sanity.
It all came from behind.
I've lost what I want.
I've lost what I need.
I've lost my love.
Life is not what it seems.

Things I Hate
I hate that I live,
each day with doubt.
I hate that I don’t know,
what will come out.
I hate that I live,
my life in such shame.
I hate that every day,
I cause all the pain.
I hate that I don’t know,
what will come each day.
I hate that I can’t,
decide to go which way.
I hate that I have,
no future ahead.
I hate that the truth is,
I’m better off dead.
I hate that I don’t,
know what to expect.
I hate that I’ve made,
...

The Walls
The walls around have locked me in.
There is no way to exit again.
You chose the path to lead you here.
This is where you have to face all your fear.
It's like I'm in, a cell that won't open.
Is this the place, where we see the end?
Or is it a place where the walls will crash down?
Now is when you see, what you left around.
Then you wake up and see where you're at.
This is the time that you wish to go back.
I'd rather be in the walls, than live this life.
Let me go back, or give me a knife.
I cut myself and watch, every drop of blood fall....

A Four Letter Word
I thought I found, the one meant for
me.
Who knew what we would feel, or what
we would see?
The touch of her skin, and the smile
that she shows.
As I whisper in her ear and tell her
that she glows.
I look in her eyes, then I feel that
I'm lost.
I gave all my heart, who knew what it
would cause?
I've lost my hopes, and stopped
having dreams.
Nothing ever works, the way that it
seems.
I lie to myself, every day that goes
by.
Tell myself it'll work, just give it

Leave Them to Rest
I thought I found the one who could
save me.
How did I know it would just make it
worse?
I feel that my life is just
condemned.
It feels like I just live under a
curse.
What do I do, and where do I go?
What can be done,to make this go
away?
Or just open my eyes and hope that it
ends.
Why live my life, like this every
day?
Some say you're here for a reason, I
don't think so I think I was the mistake.
What way do I go, which one would be
best?

The End
As I close my eyes, I try to let the past go.
Every fucking time, more shit starts to show.
It reminds me of more things, I don’t want to know.
When you try to figure out, what parts are true.
Just give up, because the shit will disappoint you.
You keep on trying, and get hurt as you do.
The thoughts in my head, as I see my mistakes.
I feel all the pain, as I cause all the aches.
All I can see, is that I'm a fucking disgrace.
I look at the ones whose lives I cause pain.

What I Should See
Can anyone
show me that real love is true?
Not just a
word one will say to you.
Not just a
word to make someone have pride.
Not
something one feels, when they just have lied.
People try
to preach to me and tell me its there.
I tell them
I want to see, show me where.
They tell me
I will know, when I feel it in my heart.
I say I
don't have one, it had been torn apart.
I look one
in their eyes and tell them to show me.
They tell me
that they feel it,...

What Do We Follow
How can one
get by, the thoughts in their mind?
Everybody
tells me, "You just need to give it time".
What if the
time, it takes, is too long?
How can you
tell, if this is where you belong?
My mind
tells me to just, turn and walk away.
At the same
time my heart, tells me I should stay.
Which one do
I listen to, and which one is right?
I feel that
I shouldn't have this much of a fight.
If I listen
to my mind, then I lose them all.

to my heart, how much...

Why Do I???
Why do I, get these feelings so much?
I miss the sound of her voice, as
well as her touch.
Will it ever go away, and let me be
free?
Or is this the one, that I was meant
to be?
The sound of her voice, along with
each breath.
It gives me a feeling, that with her,
I only get.
She touches me in ways, that only she
would know.
I think she feels the same, but who
knows what will show?
They say that in time, all will fall
in place.
What time is that, or will I see her ...

Day by Day
Time will go by day by day.
That's when life, just ticks away.
We don't know what to do, or what to say.
It feels like a game, that I don't want to play.
Some of the people do what it takes.
To live their life without the mistakes.
It's like a habit, not all of us can break.
It just makes you feel, like you're a disgrace.
I have this knife stuck in my chest.
They say if removed, I might bleed to death.
I say that I have nothing that's left.
So just pull it out, it would be for the best.
Until they do, I just live in pain.

Self Esteem
I live my life, day by day.
Hoping it will all, go away.
When I open my eyes, it all seems to stay.
Nothing ever works my way.
It just another day, that I have to live.
I then have nothing left to give.
I guess I just lost my motive.
All is not something one can forgive.
Why not just run away.
I'm a loser, like they say.
I feel as if I just betray.
All the ones, that brightened my day.
They say in time, I will feel better.
The time that I spend when we're not together.
Just makes it feel worse than what...

Hollow
I tell one how I feel,
But no matter how I implied.
It’s all just the same,
Because I’m empty inside.
Before when I felt,
I’d set my things aside.
Now I don’t feel,
Because I’m empty inside.
I tell her I love her,
But feel that I've lied.
Just because my heart,
Feels empty inside.
I used to have someone,
...
