Depression
What do you do when you're all alone?
When you try to reach out but no one's home?

What do you do if the pain won't fade?
When it cuts you like a razor sharp blade?

What do you do if you know you need help but you can't find the will to tell?

What do you do if you just want to cry?
But you don't want others to see the pain you hide?

What do you do if you just want to fall?
To let go of life and the pain you've caused?

What do you do if no one cares?
If no one even notices you're there?

What do you do if your life isn't right?
If all you want is to run and hide?

All I want is someone to care,
someone to see all of the pain that I bear.

All I want is for someone to see I'm smiling,
to see that yet know that inside I'm dying.

Detached

Sometimes I wish for the sky to go grey,
for all my fear to just fall away.

I wish for a world all black and white,
where no one feels the need to fight.

I wish for a world a world away,
A world with no sorrow,
a world with no pain.

I wish for a world with my broken heart,
A world where I can not fall apart.

I wish for a world as bland as can be,
A world where no memories are haunting me.

But most of all,
I wish for escape.
I wish for the world to fade away.

Alone in the World

A child cries,
Alone at night,
Staring at the stars.

His Momma's dead,
His father's gone,
The pain goes through his heart


"Stay strong.,
carry on."
Those words he repeats in his head.

His momma told him that,
Before she was dead.

He lives on the streets now
lives in misery,

He misses the life he used to have,
Misses all his friends.

Misses having a mom and dad,
To love him till the end.

The bitter freezing cold,
Slowly claims his life.

"I'm sorry."
He whispers.

"I'm sorry Momma, I'm sorry dad."
"I just can't stay strong."

"Without you and a home,"
"I truly don't belong."

And with that last remark,
He takes his final breath.

His eyes close and block out the stars.
Their lights forever dead.

Reflection

Look at yourself
in the mirror.

Do you know
what it is to feel fear?

Have you felt sorrow?
Have you felt pain?
Do you always take the blame?

What is there,
in life right now?
That makes you want to stick around?

A friendly word,
an encouraging smile.
Does it make you wanna stay a while?

If not,
what do you do?

To whom do you talk?
Where do you run to?

Perspective

A girl lies,
alone at night.
Waiting for someone to say it's alright.

A boy sits,
on the stairs.
Waiting for someone to say that they care.

A woman cries,
tears in her eyes.
Waiting for someone to take her side.

A man rages,
no love in his life.
For he hit his kids and hurt his wife.

[goldh31]

Futile
Grey, grey.
Black and white.
No one has the will to fight.

Smoke, smoke.
A cloud in the sky.
Everyone is going to die.

Pain, pain.
Sadness and loss.
All of life gone with a toss.

Cry, cry.
Say goodbye.
Try to be the tough guy.

Madness, madness.
Fills the air.
As someone says their last prayer.

And then with a poof,
everything is gone.
Death sings his funeral song.

[goldh31]

Fall Away

Falling,
Falling away from the pain.

Falling,
Falling with no one to blame.

Falling,
Falling 'cause nothing's gone well.

Falling,
Falling with no one to help.


Falling,
Falling through the air.

Falling,
Falling but nobody cares.

Falling,
Falling all alone.

No one's waiting to bring you home.

Falling,
Falling without any wings.

Falling,
Falling,away from everything.

Falling,
Falling with no where to go.

Falling,
Falling, afraid of myself.

Whose gonna catch me when I fall?

Falling,
Falling with no one at all.

[goldh31]

Stay in the Present

Stay in the present,
With all the sorrow,
All the pain?

Stay in the Present,
"It's best" you claim.

Stay in the present,
Don't wander away.

Wander to the past,
to the future,
to a happier place.

No, stay in the present,
With all the evil we face.

Stay in the present,
Don't miss the opportunities.

for what?

To feel sad,
Lonely?

Stay in the present,
With the claw tearing at you heart?
To feel yourself being pulled apart?

Why not numb you pain with the past?
Is avoiding the present really that bad?

Flashback

My heart is beating,
beating fast.

My feet are pounding,
over broken glass.

Tears are streaming down my face,
Even they don't slow my pace.

My breath is coming in short,
short gasps.

My legs are running,
down the path.

Thin and ostrich like they glide,
A limping stagger in my stride.

A dagger pain in my chest,
My broken heart does not rest.

It pumps on and on,
through the night.
It won't let me give up my fight.

My ankle's broke,
It will not heal.
That's all part of this sick deal.

The pain,
The torture,
The crying's the same
All coming from stupid blame.

The door slams,
He's calling for me,
My legs move faster,
Trying to flee.

He's running now,
With all his might,
But I keep on trying, trying to fight.

I want, I want, I want to be free,
I want to not have to run and flee.

He's caught up,
His arm snakes out,
Grabs me,
Spins me about.

My heart flutters in a panicked race,
There we stand,
face to face.

His arm raises,
His hand comes down,
My ears ring with a smacking sound.

He hits me again,
I fall to the ground,
Crushed beer bottles jab at me now.

A small whimper escapes my mouth,
He gets even madder,
cusses me out.

His fists are raining down with force,
beating me like the hoofs of a horse.

Tomorrow the bruises will still remain,
I will remember the crippling pain.

I raise my hands,
Close my eyes,
Retreat deep,
Deep inside.

My arms block most of his blows as I try to go somewhere,
Somewhere alone.

Somewhere where I don't need to cry,
Somewhere where I don't feel I'm about to die.
Somewhere, somewhere, somewhere safe.
Oh please, someone take me away from this place.

Reach down,
Give me a hand.
Help me,
Save me from this man.

No one helps me,
Listens at all,
Nothing heeds my silent call.

He kicks me now,
Bruising my ribs,
My mind fills with a million fibs.

"I fell down",
"I tripped over the stairs",
But no one will probably ask or care.

Then your foot hits my head,
My mind goes black and the world is dead.
