Prisoner
In this dark cage of lies
I'm dangerously trapped
inside
The butterflies have flown
away
No longer does this soul
sway
Anger, pain, hatred
Now my heart is left
damaged
Deception, betrayal, lies
were thrust upon
Still a mask of happiness
I put on
Agony, depression , insanity
I try to hide
All the blames are killing
me inside
Lying dead, I stare at the
gleaming stars
Trapped...

Silence reigns
I wake to the empty
Spot in the bed
Your scent still lingers there
Keep waiting for you
To call out to me
But silence reigns
I walk through the motions
Of every blurry day
Expecting a phone call any minute
Come home to an empty house
No TV or radio
And silence reigns
I tried to block out
That horrible night
Found you in the bedroom floor
You wanted some peace
From a thundering mind
And now silence reigns
Spot in the bed
Your scent still lingers there
Keep waiting for you
To call out to me
But silence reigns
I walk through the motions
Of every blurry day
Expecting a phone call any minute
Come home to an empty house
No TV or radio
And silence reigns
I tried to block out
That horrible night
Found you in the bedroom floor
You wanted some peace
From a thundering mind
And now silence reigns

Sea of fear
It hurts to feel
When sorrow controls you
Sunlight refuses to shine
Soul is frozen in eternal cool
I want the smile you see
To be real
Not this fake imposter
You can't heal
I feel like
A hollow ghost
Ceaselessly roaming
Searching for my former host
Because what you see
Is not me
I used to laugh and smile
No worries or cares
But roaming the wild
I know you're worried
That hurts even more
Cause I feel like
I've become your chore
I should bring you comfort ...

Rise above the wreckage
I saw the moon today
Blood red streaked across the sky
Time has come, none to waste
Dry the river of tears from your eyes
Don't hold onto things
Things don't last
Rise above the wreckage
And forget the past
Hold close to me
Lift me higher
The noose around my neck
Keeps getting tighter
I'm slipping away
Time crawls so slow
Relieve me of this pain
It's ok to let go
Don't hold onto me
I can't last
Rise above the wreckage
And forget the past
Blood red streaked across the sky
Time has come, none to waste
Dry the river of tears from your eyes
Don't hold onto things
Things don't last
Rise above the wreckage
And forget the past
Hold close to me
Lift me higher
The noose around my neck
Keeps getting tighter
I'm slipping away
Time crawls so slow
Relieve me of this pain
It's ok to let go
Don't hold onto me
I can't last
Rise above the wreckage
And forget the past

Uninvited guest
There's always someone there
Watching my every move
He knows what I'm thinking
And sees everything I do
I tell everyone I'm good
Never felt better
But he knows the truth
The noose is getting tighter
I run but he follows
Always in my sight
Try to walk the straight and narrow
But he pulls me to the side
He pulls me under
My uninvited guest
I know I'll be forever
Forbidden to take rest
What else can I do
I'm just playing host
Eternally possessed
And haunted by my ghost
Watching my every move
He knows what I'm thinking
And sees everything I do
I tell everyone I'm good
Never felt better
But he knows the truth
The noose is getting tighter
I run but he follows
Always in my sight
Try to walk the straight and narrow
But he pulls me to the side
He pulls me under
My uninvited guest
I know I'll be forever
Forbidden to take rest
What else can I do
I'm just playing host
Eternally possessed
And haunted by my ghost

Shattered
Who do you think YOU are
telling me I’m a piece of shit?!?!
You’re no better than me!
Stop staring! I can take you down!
Don’t you know I used to wrestle in high school?
What do you mean I wasn’t any good?
I wrestled my heart out! I gave it my all...100%!
Fuck you!
So what if I didn’t take a state title... doesn’t mean you’re any better than me!
I have GREAT qualities. I make people laugh, I help them when they’re down, I’m honest, polite, respectful....I’m a FUCKING GOOD GUY!

I watched the water cascade down the mountains peak only to fall to its untimely death
Splash
Splash
Splash
The earth began to quiver and shake and primal screams emerged
as the water fell more quickly
Splash!
Splash!
Splash!
Do I stay? Or do I run?
Or do I let someone see the tears falling from my eyes?
Splash!!
Splash!!!
SPLASH!!!!

Trapped
I see him trapped within his own head
Picking at food but never really eating
Laying down to rest but never really sleeping
Walking around the house but not knowing where to go
I want to tell those shadows that scream at him
To leave him alone and come after me
I want to fight his battles because
that’s what mothers do
That’s the job I signed up for
Let me do it
Picking at food but never really eating
Laying down to rest but never really sleeping
Walking around the house but not knowing where to go
I want to tell those shadows that scream at him
To leave him alone and come after me
I want to fight his battles because
that’s what mothers do
That’s the job I signed up for
Let me do it

A Mom’s Realization
Today I sat silently as my son
My 2nd born
Told the doctor how many times
He had thoughts of suicide.
Tears ran down my cheeks
How did I not know?
I tried to be the best mom I could
But that wasn’t enough?
And then I realized as I listened
That this wasn’t about me
It’s about him...and those are the words
That I need to hear in the silence.

Dark day
I awoke to a sunny room
But it didn't shine for me
The birds sang their sweet morning tune
But they didn't sing for me
Strangers smiled and spoke hellos
But no one spoke to me
Artists spread their cheer in lively yellow
But they didn't paint for me
I'm heading down a deep hole
My heart's in a bad place
It's beauty for all others
But for me it's a dark day
But it didn't shine for me
The birds sang their sweet morning tune
But they didn't sing for me
Strangers smiled and spoke hellos
But no one spoke to me
Artists spread their cheer in lively yellow
But they didn't paint for me
I'm heading down a deep hole
My heart's in a bad place
It's beauty for all others
But for me it's a dark day

Where truth hides
Down below
Truth lies hidden
Underneath fraudulent emotions
Who shroud the secrets
With deceptive covers
They put on a good show
For all to see
While secretly hiding
Their dark doppelgangers
Those true feelings
Only rise to the surface
When no one else is around
These feelings are...
The one's who want to suffocate
And break you down
The one's who want to take a little bit of
Life everytime they arise
The one's who want to keep you hidden
And all alone
Till you...
Truth lies hidden
Underneath fraudulent emotions
Who shroud the secrets
With deceptive covers
They put on a good show
For all to see
While secretly hiding
Their dark doppelgangers
Those true feelings
Only rise to the surface
When no one else is around
These feelings are...
The one's who want to suffocate
And break you down
The one's who want to take a little bit of
Life everytime they arise
The one's who want to keep you hidden
And all alone
Till you...

Stay away
Narrow slit eyes
Follow me
Wherever I go
Moving through
Darkened alleys
Back and forth so slow
Listen for my breath
And line me in chalk
You can't go
Where I go
Stay away
I see the hidden knife
Drowning in malaise
You can't have my life
If this isn't making sense
Don't complain
Just stop reading
You've nothing left to gain
If paranoia grips you
And tragedy you can't turn away
Find its soulless eyes
And set your fixated gaze
Follow me
Wherever I go
Moving through
Darkened alleys
Back and forth so slow
Listen for my breath
And line me in chalk
You can't go
Where I go
Stay away
I see the hidden knife
Drowning in malaise
You can't have my life
If this isn't making sense
Don't complain
Just stop reading
You've nothing left to gain
If paranoia grips you
And tragedy you can't turn away
Find its soulless eyes
And set your fixated gaze
