walking amongst the crash site
we made it here just in time
search hard enough and we may find
where it is that our hearts lie

the spot where we went up in flames
spiraling out of control along the way
thought for a minute we could be saved
then found out it was much too late

mark the spot with a simple cross
so the memory will not be forever lost
desiring freedom but paying the cost
another relationship crashing where it ought not

which brings us back to the crash site
where we both have arrived at the same time
searching through the rubble not sure this time we'll find
where it is that our hearts lie

You give me bliss
In times of sorrow

You hand me love
In my world that consists  of hate

An endless black hole in my heart
Reminds me of a loneliness 

Your strong words of truth
Bring me comfort and support 

Voices of serenity remind me of you
They make me feel safe

No I won't let you go
I refuse

Your my true love
My heart only wants you

I am a hypocrite.
I tell my friends they have to eat,
when I don't.
I tell them not to listen to what others say
when I do.
I tell them they shouldn't cut
when i do
I tell them life is worth living
when I've attempted suicide.
I tell them to be happy
when I'm battling depression.
But regardless,
know I am here
For anyone battling depression
Anyone considering suicide,
Cutting,
Not eating,
Questioning their self worth,
Or maybe just sad.
I am here.
Please help me get this trending. I want everyone to know I'm here for them from just feeling a little sad to about to commit suicide. Message me.

no matter how many times i fall,
by my mistake or someone's push,
i will rise again.

i'll rise with blood staining the ground;
with the taste of iron on my lips;
with the knowledge that
you can't fool me twice -

and when i rise...
castles will crumble beneath my fists.
oceans will rush to greet my blood,
for my body and the sea
share the same kind of power.
i'll pour magma onto the cities
and build them anew.

after the fall,
i will be better than before,
and the ones who pushed me down
will be nothing more than
faces in a crowd.

perhaps i should thank them.
without my collapse
i would not have remade
myself or the world.

I  look at the journal all weathered and worn
I look at the journal some pages intact
While others are torn
I read in the journal some stories happy
While many are forlorn
I read in the journal a trip to the past
Many memories that are sure to last
This blast to the past
Might offer insight to the future as well
For now I wait patiently
because only time will tell
Many journal entries have been the start of poems for me, maybe for you as well.

I should wear a sign that says fragile
but instead I wear fake strength
and pretend that I don't break

I walk down the street and see an old person struggling up a flight of stairs. I stop a moment to get the door for her. At lunch I overhear a woman talking to her daughter about how tight finances are, so I ask the waitress to give me their ticket and I buy their meal. Though I am not rich and famous, though I may never be widely known. I look for ways to leave my mark as I go. With each act of kindness and each gift of mercy, I hope to impress upon my fellow human that they can do the same. While kings may build monuments and the famous may champion their own cause, the simplest acts of humanity are what leave a true mark behind as we go.

He is only 10 he should
be crying beacuse he
feel down,not beacuse
someone called him a ***.

She's only 12,she
should be playing with
makeup,not razors..

He's only 14  he should be  out with his freinds,
not tying ropes...

She's only 16, she
should be out on dates,
not staraving herself...

They were all 18, they
should have been
celebrating graduation,
not a furneral...
hope u like it

A heart lost poet
Call me what you will
I understand that the things you say are just words
I never understood the phrase actions speak louder than words
Until I was 19, heart broken and looking back at my life

You see I have a lot of great friends
Friends who are there for me when I need
Friends who worry even when I don't want them to

So call me what you will
Say what you want
Say that I don't care
Say I'm bad for her
Say I'm wrong

I don't care what you say
You see the problem with this world is we hang on what people say not what they do
I am not perfect in fact I am far from it

But I have one thing
One thing that most guys don't
I'm old fashioned
I make a vow or a promise and I keep it
So even after everything has gone and I am left
I will hold that promise
You see even if she calls 10 years from now
Even if I'm on the other side of the world
If I have a career
If I haven't spoken to her since that day,

The moment she calls I will be there because I promised I would be
I promised to always love her
To protect her
To be there when she needs someone
To be the thing that pushes her to do better when everyone else gives up

Call me stupid and childish but those promises mean something
They aren't words
They are actions

And your **** right I will push her
I will be there
I will love her
And I will protect her until the day I die
Doesn't matter who you are you will not hurt her without answering to me
First time I've put this much raw unadulterated power behind my words. I am truly sorry I can't read this to you, because it will be hard to capture the power in these words
