I feel like I'm running in circles.
Never getting to my destination.
I pack my bags,
Pay for the ticket.
But end up at the same train station.

It's an ongoing battle.
That I see so many win.
So I gather my weapons,
Put on my armor.
But your end is where I begin.

I want to say it's easy.
But I don't know know that yet.
I try so very hard.
Just to start all over,
Well who woulden't be upset?

But I have to keep going.
I have to make it through.
So I'll keep running,
I'll keep fighting.
At least I'm trying, unlike you.
There once was a boy over yonder
Who gave the girls something to ponder
And I must confess
Though loathe to acquiesce
Despite my denial, I've grown fonder
;)

I am a sentimental freak.

And you,
o stranger,
tugged at my heartstrings.
For Devlin Andrew Harris, as well as those who plan to leave and have already left.

Your words were magic spun.
If only words could heal what actions have done.

Goodbye and may the light shine on your quest.
We traced back word by word
Scar by scar
Tearing love
Blaming stars
When life leaves a body
where does it go?
Somewhere in the fields
when farmers sow?
or in the meadows
where the cattles graze
maybe it hides in the sickle
the reaper holds
or maybe on the roof tops of tall buildings
or in a secluded place.
Does it pass through the crowds
whistling past the hair of a ******* the phone?
Or gets caught in windchimes
playing strange tones
maybe it goes in the infant
newly born
or goes in the aisle
where love is sworn
maybe it falls out in the tears cried alone
or whispers in the wind which are never known
where does life go once it leaves a body?
Does it go to a new place,a new farm,perhaps a new city
or does it travel with a man to eternity.
As the sun dips over the peaceful land,
Where humans and nature live hand in hand,
Amongst the valleys, the rivers, the hills,
Where the birds take flight and their young ones trill,
Here, I make my home.

Underneath the shadowy limbs of trees,
With the trick-ling water, the buzzing bees,
Where the stars are present, be day or night,
And the sun bathes me with his blinding light,
Forever, I will roam.

I remember little before this place,
Not a land or country, a name or face,
I remember only the crippling pain,
The looks of pity, the common disdain,
Nightmares of the past.

Oh, should I come to be forgotten here,
In the land where all live without fear,
I would smile if I we're never found,
I've tasted freedom, I won't be bound,
I live, at last.
Slit my wrists suicide
Black, blood, scraping imperfections from the inside;
Cut out the anger.
Cut out the hate, the endless self loathing.
Cut out my heart to shove it down my throat
So I can choke on all the emptiness
And spit up acid that burns like
A lifetime of shattered dreams
Or an early adolescence, cut out and carved
By a rusted razorblade,
Gone dull with guilt and shame.
Cut this image out of my brain,
Cut this confusion out of my veins-
Cut me open,
Cause I can't quite tell what's wrong,
But I'm broken.
I have no answers or solutions,
Only infinite thoughts,
Encaged within an abyss of gray.
Blood underneath my fingernails,
On my hands,
On my clothes,
But not inside of me...
Then there is nothing,
And I am nothing.
And nothing can make me hurt
More than myself.
