I can see something's not right
Cascading torrents of despair
Unveiling how you're not alright
A hidden pain you begin to share
Seeing those words grace my screen
Thoughts unchained, breaking free
Opening out, a soul picked clean
Words I sorely wish I didn't see

Your realm seems to falling away
Searing anger fills your veins
I can't find the words to say
I don't know how to end the pains
Sitting as the walls are crumbling
I have no plan, unable to help you
Curse this hopeless mental fumbling
Why is do I not know what to do

My mind is twisting mangled mess
Swimming in the oceans of defeat
Can't fight off waves of

The Girl Behind the SmileI am the girl behind the smile,
But more accurately I am the girl behind the tears,
I am the girl behind the pain,
And I am the girl you decide to hurt even more,
As your words become daggers,
I fall, defeated.

I am nothing to you,
Another victim to your cruel jokes,
Everyone laughs,
But at what expense?
Oh right, MY expense.

How about I just lie down and die,
After a night of abuse with my so-called beloved,
Why don't you destroy me in the morning?
While I fight back,
You just laugh, and I lose,
Again.

You'll never know the truth,
You'll never know what it's like,
To be bruised and broken,
Inside and out,
While two men

Fairground of EmotionEverything is so up and down
Back and forth
Round and round
Roller coaster
Merry-go-round
Leaves you dizzy
Hit the ground

So sit back and enjoy the ride
Strap yourself in
Do not fight
Ready yourself for
The beast inside
Once unleashed there's
No where to hide

The EmptinessThe Emptiness

It's too cold in here
Sadness taints the air
All too painfully clear
In my world of despair
The space is too vast
A dark and empty void
My resolve fading fast
A misery I can't avoid

It echoes off the wall
Rebounding in my mind
Why did I have to fall?
To only be left behind
In the night it hides
The shadows closing in
Where a misery resides
Hurting under my skin

My world lies in dust
Abandoned and decaying
I am trying to adjust
The misery is staying
Staining the surfaces
In a cruel oppression
Those haunting faces
Fuelling my depression

Standing in that crowd
One figure stands apart
Her voice echoes alou

SaturationSaturation

It's stalking me everywhere
Drowning my mind in sadness
Lingering dimly in the air
As I fade into the darkness
Solitude is taking its toll
Wave after wave of sorrow
Eroding away a crushed soul
No hope left for tomorrow

It used to be all contained
Now it starts breaking free
Unable to keep it restrained
And tearing right out of me
Deep and devastating scars
Lacerating my lonely being
Deserted beneath the stars
It's my face you hate seeing

It's taking over everything
Burying me with depression
Thoughts bear a bitter sting
My sad concealed confession
Tears loosely held at bay
Refusing to break and cry
So much th

ScarredScarred

The damage has been done
Wounds have cut too deep
As my downfall has begun
Lost in solitude I sleep
The nights hurt too much
Hear the words in my head
Destroying all they touch
It's the visions I dread

Devastating illustrations
Tear into my open heart
Vicious cold lacerations
Ripping my world apart
Illusions inside my mind
The words taking a shape
Wish to leave them behind
There's no hope or escape

Why must I feel for you?
Emotion so vividly strong
There's nothing I can do
What I've felt for so long
Just can't risk revealing
Just what you mean to me
Everything that I'm feeling
Can never be allowed free

Emotion

Moment of TruthLate night, slow country song,
Candle light, dresses we wore once to prom
Holding each other tight, forever doesn't seem so long

I've dreamt of a moment like this all my life
With not just any girl, but a girl I hope to call my wife

And I don't mean to speak too soon
But it's hard not to when I see your beauty in the light of a candle moon

So softly now, as I whisper in your ear, "I do"
Forgive me briefly, for this is my moment of truth

It was once, not so long ago when I used to dance like this
In the arms of the monster and we'd share a delicate kiss

I thought that was living until I felt your touch
And I realized I'd been using

People label each other with ugly words with ugly meanings. But why? What's the point? In the end, we're all human.

This is really thought provoking, as can be seen by all the comments. A wonderful work of art my friend.

It's a shame, really, that those words are thrown around so often.
