 *EMO*

I've been through some rough times. Times where I found myself not wanting to live anymore. I've been depressed, miserable, unhappy, dejected, gloomy...I've been there. More then once. I'll be honest with you, I've thought about doing things I should not have ever thought
about doing. I'm not happy about it but thats the way it is I guess. We've all been there I'm sure...and if you haven't...well then......thats wonderful.

Poetry has saved me more than once. Poetry is my life. It's how I deal with things. I'll say it again it's my escape away from this hell hole we call Earth.
I introduce to you: "The Darker Side of Me"

                             

 *Trapped*

Lying in the dark
Emptiness swept over me
There is no light
I am not free

From all of my past
Trouble, sorrow, and hate
Of my family and friends
Released from my fate

Everything thats inside
No words can be spoken
To describe what I feel
My spirit is now broken

There is nothing but the void
Anger all around me
No one to help me, I'm lost
Yet, I'm not to be found

 

For it is my purpose
To be all alone
Feeling sorry for myself
And being left unknown

Until I fade out
Rot and then die
So now is your chance
Time to say goodbye

Because once I leave
I won't reappear
In order to let go
Let your mind clear

Lying in the dark
Emptiness sweeps over me
There is no light
And I am not yet free

 *Escape* 

I'm back once again
To this old familiar place
I sit here in silence
As the tears stream down my face

At first a sting
And then a sigh
Adrift on the sky
While flying so high

A slide of the wrist
As the blade meets the skin
And I promise myself...
Not ever again

I'm back once again
To the old familiar place
I sit here in silence
As the tears stream down my face

You shine like a diamond
In my hands your sharp and cold
I long for your new pain
To forget about the old

In your distorted reflection
I can almost see my face
But with each time I come here
A small part of me erased

              

 *All Alone*  

**This was the first poem I've ever written and got published**

As I lie in grass
Listening to the feet go by
I think about the past
Oh how I wonder why

All my friends have left me
For what I have done
How I thought this can't be
My pain has just begun

I never said a word
I kept it all inside
Before the people heard
Of the very day I died

Now I lie in the ground
Under a great big stone
Where I can't be found
Crying cause I'm all alone

 *Untitled*  

You left me here with my pain
You left to feel sorrow
You left me to go insane
Waiting for tomorrow

Anger builds up inside me
Hatred is taking control
The damage is just too real
I'll never again be whole

I must continue to be strong
I must be true to my heart
I must know where I belong
Knew it right from the start

Sadness creeps through me
Emotions begin to soar
I know things will never be
The way they were before

The pain spoils
The pain remains
The pain boils
Inside my veins


 

I can't take it any longer
Soon I will begin to scream
I have to be stronger
Then everything it might seem

I wish the distress would go away
I wish it would instantly recede
i wish it all would be okay
For its happiness i need

Maybe one day it'll transpire
And I'll be joyful again
When everything bad will retire
And no grief will remain

Until then you you leave me here with my pain
Until then you leave me to feel sorrow
Until then you leave me to go insane
Waiting for tomorrow
