Suicide

I sit here by myself, thinking of suicide
I look at a knife, wanting to commit suicide
I look at a photo, hating my life
Telling myself, suicide stops the pain

I turn the lights off, alone in dark
Reaching for the knife, that’s going to take it away
I think of certain people, they don’t care
For the first time, I think of myself

I dig the knife, into part of my skin
Letting all of my blood, pour out
I’m not dying quick enough, so another cut I make
Then a final cut on my neck, and a stab in my heart

Fear

Fear is a scary thought that we chose to ignore
What causes it we can't seem to be sure
How does fear get to us how does it start?
Why is it when we think we've over come it theres always another part?
Does fear ever go away does it ever leave us alone?
Or as soon as it's gone it comes rushing back and is once again shown
I'm sure we could live without it or at least try
But fear makes us who we are not knowing why
So what if we're scared of spiders or heights
Everyones scared of something otherwise we wouldn't be right

Lifes a nightmare

A smack on my face a slit on my wrists
When everyday ends I feel like this
I'm sick of my heart leaving me defending
It leads me to places where there is no happy ending
Lifes a nightmare I just want to escape
But I don't think I can i've lost my fate
Tears and scars I try to hide
But theres always someone who noties after i've cried
I feel like crying out but I don't want to know it
I'd love some help but I don't want to show it
I'd rather it get deeper than look really sad
But the cuts are getting worse and it looks really bad

Friend

As long as forever I'll stay by your side
I'll be your compainion your friend your guide
We'll go through life together through the bad and the good
I'll always be with like a good friend always should
There'll be laughs there might be tears
But together will fight and conquor our fears
If were side by side or miles apart
I'll always be with you close to the heart
Life without friendship is like a sky with no sun
Nothing bright, warm watching over me nothing nice or fun
Together we'll take steps in this life
And know we're okay cause we'll be alright

There is a girl

There is a girl
Who sits alone
She never talks
As she’s on her own
She sits in the corner
She tries to fade away
She doesn’t see colours
She only sees grey
She wears lots of clothes
To cover her cuts she has
No one wants to know her
‘The emo girl’ she’s known as
She cries out for help
But no one will see
What’s really hurting her
Why can’t she feel free
She comes off as different
Not like the rest
Most of it’s others judgments
Just by the way she is dressed

Life can be... But life is...

Life can be happy and great
It can make you energetic and feel so awake
It shows you, you can do anything if you just believe
There is no limit to try and conquer your dreams

But what happens
When it all turns bad
Where instead of being happy
You end up sad

Where life shows it's bad side
That makes you break and fall
There's nothing underneath you
So you can't stand tall

Where pain gets you
Right in the heart
It controls you
As you break and fall apart

Your perfect

The darkness of the night sky
With the stars shining bright
The full moon rising
What a nice summer night
A gush of warm wind
Against my face
Sitting here with you
Mt heart begins to race
You wrap your arm around me
Holding me close
You're warm and gentle
I love you the most
You kiss my forehead
As I lean more on you
This is love
I swear it's true
We lay back
And look at the night sky
When i'm with you
I feel I can fly

Only one shall win

Suicides calling my name
Getting closer and closer
Down it drags me
Right to the point, where I shouldn’t be

Whispers all around
‘Do it, it won’t hurt
You’ll be out of this pain
It’ll be over soon’

Tears fill my eyes
With a decision that’s mine to make
Right or wrong
Wrong or right

It’s so bad
I don’t care what’s wrong
My heart says different
But it’s my head I listen to

Bottled Up

Everyone has secrets, they don't wish to tell
Some are really painful, that make you feel unwell

We chose to discard, them to lock them away
The longer we do, the more they want to escape

They can bring lots of pain, they can work up the tears
Why do we try to act normal, and cover what we fear

We trap it inside, as it annoys us too much
When we finally try to let it go, it hurts so much

Someone else finds out, and you think your world is at end
But before too long, what you've told begins to mend

Keeping things to yourself, can hurt really deep
Do what I did tell someone, it does help a heap

The night I tried to kill myself

The night I tried to kill myself
Was like a scary dream
A knife held to my neck
No one heard me scream

The cuts over my body
As I tried to bleed to death
It didn't seem to work
As I took a deep breathe

Theres not point living life
If it's going to hurt with pain
Death seems more peaceful
Life is like a stain

One little cut on my neck
Thats all it was going to take
I told myself I could do it
For all goodness sake
