The drums pound in my head
trying to force me
to express my emotions
anger, sadness, envy
faster, faster
they resonate through my mind
forcing me to listen
to every word
my eyes begin to glisten
the words that have been spoken
have torn much more than my mind
I try to turn
to look away
I need to live
and know another day
I see her walk right past me
my eyes cast down
my face shows a smile
my mind, weighed with the saddest frown
I walk the other direction
I turn the other cheek
but I know, as one of many
how my emotions leak
I sit, alone
in the darkness of my mind
wishing for a friend
someone to show
they love me
some one that is willing
to stay for eternity.

Walk by walls
all I know gone
walk by walls
my hope is in my home
walk by walls
to try and find my love
walk by walls
knowing it has left me

Take down walls
please, I need you
take down walls
I need to hear
take down walls
why you forsook me
take down walls
I can't stand much more

fall by walls
exhausted
fall by walls
need help
fall by walls
no one to save me
fall by walls
defeated.

Now you greet me
now you don’t
our friendship went up in smoke
I see almost every day
you never care to do, or say
you walk right by
without a glance
I see you look
at the opposite wall
just in order to avoid me
whether lunchroom, class, or hall
I see you laugh
your group of friends
yet I still try
to make amends
I watch you speak
with some of my mates
and feel myself shiver
I still won't hate
no matter all the hurt, or the tears
I still will love you
for many years
I see you glance
then look away
my eyes tear up
because I know
that it just might stay this way.

I’m falling
falling into this pit
this pit of sadness
I cry for help
but no one hears me.

I’m falling
past everything I know
this pit with walls of black
just this pit, no going back
I fall, no light to be seen.

I’m falling
falling, everything’s gone
I thought that I should be alone
but now in this hole of dark and black
I know that I should have turned back.

Am I alone
are you with me
do I have your support when I say
that I want to leave

Am I alone
will you come with me
would you commit to live with me
when I find a new place to start

Am I alone
or are can you save me
from my fears, my tears
as they fall through the next gate

Am I alone
or will you help and lighten
my burden that weighs heavy
one of loneliness and death

Am I alone
can you be with me
can you help, help me please
I need to be released

Why am I alone
why did you leave me
why would you do this
and leave me to be with me

Now I’m alone
no one to help and keep me
no one to save or love me
no one to be with me, to fill my void

People say it’s raining cats and dogs
no, it’s raining teenage tears
the people have been ignorant
all while our worst of years
we weep and cry, until some die
and people stand in shock
the people that could have saved them
they stand, then resume to walk
they could have saved us
they could be better
but they care more about the weather
than all those people big and small
those people that could change the world
well, you could save us all.

My hand drags across an empty paper
feeling, not seeing
my eyes are perfect and untouched
I’d prefer to stay blind
I see the world just how it is
and wish to get away forever
I see the ¨fun¨ the ¨cool¨ the ¨good¨
I know what they don't see, or should
I see the dark places
ones no one bothers to notice
I see the birds, the cats, the fish
and know, I'd rather lose all focus
on dreams and life and in-between
‘cause nothing is how we want it to seem.
