Lost control
Why do I listen to this inner voice
It whispers there is no other choice
I turn hopelessly to my blade
Not sure if the decision was made
Slowly the cloth begins to stain
I can't cope with all this pain
To whom belongs this endless shame
I will accept all the blame
Who can I turn to in the dark of night
Who will be there and say it's alright
I can't find you, you're too far away
As night becomes another bleak day
The scars that are showing I cannot hide
No one knows how hard I've tried
The blood flows and mingles with tears
Emptying out all my fears
The air is deaf and doesn't understand
Did I make these scars with my own hand
I cry for you to understand my pain
You ask "what's wrong" but I can't explain
My life is empty I want to die
I can't take it as I scream at the sky
Did you hear my desperate call
Then why did you let me fall
Hope is gone
Falling downward under the the waves
Fleeing from the dust and haze
Fearing everything that dies
Looking never toward the skies
Calling out, but no one hears
Feeling like no one's near
Drowning in my fear and shame
Forever always taking the blame
Finding my way, my path is blocked
Hearing my thoughts brutally mocked
Silent lips that speak my pain
Standing in this torrential rain
Fighting every step of the way
Yet claiming to try every day
Clinging ever to my sin
Wishing to fly again
Flying skyward over trees
Finding then that no one sees
Despair
Another day is over
Another day is past
I cannot seem to cover
My dread that they might last
Each minute seems an hour
Each hour to me a day
He triumphs as I cower
Is there no other way
The wheel of fire in my mind
Bends me to it's will
There is no peace for me to find
For it's desire is to kill
Where should I go from here
My eyes are blinded from the path
Should I trust those who are near
Or subject myself to wrath
My heart is darker than the deep
Heavier than a mountain
Do I dare to take a leap
Into the blood-red fountain
Where did I find all this pain
I don't know how to make it end
I take my blade and cut for sweet release
Concentrating on the pain I punish myself for sins unknown
A sudden shock as I cut a little deeper
I stop because of the shame of the scars
Scars that will always be a reminder
Another hour another harsh word is said
Once again I take all the blame
I carve words into my flesh
Guilt, anger, hate, fear, lies
They make me FALL
Later I find I want to cut, but there is no blade
I beat my arms till it feels I can't lift them
Bruises can be explained
I want to cut words, but there is still no blade
I take my pen and write the words where they're hidden
I want to end my life, but I'm scared
I'm crying can you see my tears
Trying to empty myself of this pain
I hate myself
I believe lies
I'm angry at nothing
I feel shame for what I've done and felt
I'm afraid of being discovered
Yet, I want you to find the scars
Maybe then you will understan that there is PAIN
These scars and bruises will fade with time
Will the scars on my heart ever fully heal?
Untitled
Thoughts that scream inside my head
Echoing all the words you've said
Addicting fears that make me fall
Can't get past this outer wall
Words contradict what I saw
Rubbing old wounds till they're raw
What can I say to change your mind
I can't think, nor the words can I find
Wanting to cut to release the pain
Losing belief that I am sane
I trusted you and you told me lies
I thought you saw the pain in my eyes
Why did you not make it end
You thought you would make him bend
"No evidence" you plainly say
I wish I hadn't told you anyway
Do you react this way every time
Making us feel we're committing a crime
I remember all the thoughts I shared
Am I to believe you never cared
If not, then why only me
Did you think I wouldn't see
Your goal is more important than how I feel
But isn't your goal to help us heal
For my pastor
No light pierces this darkness
Floating in a fallen world
Tears blind me as despair consumes my mind
Fear is my constant advisor
Pain soothes these constant thoughts
Open wounds and bruises ease the pressure
God, I'm so lost and alone
I can't describe the images I see
Painted on my eyelids  when I close my eyes
Words fly solo through my head
I try to connect the dots, but I always fail
I grasp at fleeting answers
They are gone before I've taken hold
I'm sorry I've failed
Falling in an empty world
I alone am listening to the wind screeching
It pierces my heart with the sound
The confusion is in a multitude of colors
Grey and white flow in the same river
They're mixed, but they should be different
I make no sense, I know
The words shape-shift through my mind
Dancing beyond my reach
Peace tantalizes from afar
The pains is soothed with more pain
Another person walks through my world
No control over what is hurting me
Emptiness, sorrow, confusion
Falling faster as they bring me down
Suicide thoughts
back to home
