scarred-and-broken

The blade touches my skin leaving me breathless I'm struggling with my emotions, trying to suppress The desire to slit right through to the bone As these such emotions so often have me prone The blood stains the metal, there's no turning back I feel the pain, the pleasure I once lacked I never want this to end, this feeling, my release I never want this ecstasy of painfulness to cease Blood running down my arm from the wound that I created Surpasses the emotions that you bring me, those of hatred It brings me comfort, it brings me strength, and it brings to me control Control over my life, and my pain, and my soul Know matter wha

Promises broken Trust has faded Tell me how we've gotten here How we fell this far Medicate me, fill me with your lies The truth's unnoticed, tearing me apart Words are spoken, breaking my heart in two No matter what happens, I'll be crying for you Dreams awakened Hope has dissapeared Whisper to me In your entrancing tone Lead me to my empty grave Darkness clouding all I've known Reflecting all the pain we've gone through No matter what happens, I'll be crying for you Prayers unanswered Angels have fallen Take my hand now We must fly away from here Through this darkness, pain will follow Take a deep breath now, it may be

Black eyes Pale face Bring me back Far from this place Evil lurks all around Epiphany of sight and sound Sleepless nights and a constant abound Of memories and euphoric thoughts Of people that I've now forgot And now I fear it's all for naught For all around, these horrid sights Of creatures and demons of the night I dare not die without a fight Where am I? I can not tell I fear this place, this unspeakable cell Please save me from this dreadful hell I pray that someone hears my plea I need someone to look and see This child deep inside of me Cognitive eyes, black as coal Look at me, into my soul They see everything I've

In the darkness of the night See the pale moon faces? The burning torches, fire so bright Are carried in the chases Don't make a sound, don't say a word They're after us, we might be heard I fear the callous whip and chains The barking dogs with wild manes They carry on as though it's right Although we may be dead tonight In the darkness of the night I see the pale moon faces I see the dogs, the whips, the chains And now I feel eternal pain I watch on in horror as I see The light murder the darkness-- Me.

What a world. World of pain. World of suffering. World of shame. See the people on the street? The ones with no shoes on their feet? Do you see or just pass them by Afraid to look them in the eye? See the mother in the back of the church? Do you see or are you afraid to search? She mourns the death of her 19 year old son Who lost his life in an army of one. Do you see, See what they missed? Are you ready To die for this?

Why do they have the right To tell us whether to stay or fight? Shouldn't it be the people's choice? Isn't that what it means to have a voice? Our leaders set up this democracy To leave no voice unheard Yet it's turned into hypocrisy For they don't hear a word The wars we fight in such velocity Do not belong to us They are caused by our leader's animosity Yet we hardly raise a fuss This world is full of supremacy Where everyone thinks they're right When someone leaves us a legacy They become heroes in our sight What is this world coming to When one man rules the rest When our ideals of what someone's supposed to be Become t

I've been to the edge The one that was me I've stood on that ledge So high I could see All of you, so far beneath Under the same spell Insecure delusions, out of reach Realization, then I fell Watch out, beware Of the monster within The biggest scare of all Comes to you in the end.

Remember the times we shared with them The funny things they said I would never dare to dream That they would soon be dead They were always there for me No matter what I did They became heroes in my eyes But I was just a kid Now I see that they weren't always Who I thought them to be It scares me to think like this For I do not wish to see The faults that they carried With them to the grave My thoughts of them have become so dim The good memories I can not save Now I can look and see The faults of everyone I no longer look at them, Judge, and be done When I think of all the things They've taught me through the years This

They sting. Those words, That I forbid. Sometimes, I wish, I would have hid. The demons, Of life Attack Us all. They slash And sting Until We fall. You are My demon You Made Me fall, I won't Give up I can try To crawl. I can Fight, But I Won't win. The demons Of life, Catch us all In the end.

A golden storm of leaves of old This season's not summer And nor is it cold her lips dance as they sing a sweet song so pure, so talented no note is wrong orange of Autumn paints a happy sight she rocks in my arms and laughs with delight Pinning me down on the leaves her hair falls on me the bliss of a kiss no pain will I miss the world does not exist when she is near because she is my world all I adhere Every tear I catch, every breathe I hear because she is my all all I adhere She cradles my heart so gently I sigh a sign of peace because she loves me Pinning me down on the leaves her hair falls on me the bliss of a k
