like they have a purpose
a mission in life
something to live for
presoannly
i think theyre all stupid for thinking such things
thinking that after all their hardship
they will be rewarded
i used to think that way
used to think someone was looking out for me
taking my back
then i turned aroudn
i realized noone was there
no one was ever there
i was on my own
as usual
i watch the happy couples frolic around
hugging an kissing
as if evrything would be ok
but it wouldnt
half of them would break up within the year
a third would drift away an lose contact
a fourth would forget about each toher
perhaps
perhaps a fith would stay together forever
i dont like those odds
there was no way i could be rewarded
no way i would accept it
i would deny it an move on
like i always have
bottled up emotions
they arent as deliciouse as the sound
the need for violence
to break something
to feel the blood runing down my arm
is my nirvana
i want to see my blood course out of my body
my life force slipping away
to feel the pain no others have felt
is all i desire
if no one knows what ive gone through
if no one realizes what eats at my soul
if no one knew wha torture im enduring
my life would be fulfilled
i want to go on alone
i must train myself to let go of all i love
in this lesson is what i need
but i cant find the answer
i never could
it never came to me as it did to others
why is that?
is it a cruel joke?
evryone can be happy but me?
evryone can have a purposefull life but me?
evryone can find love and wealth an fame and fortune but me?
evryone can die an say now that was a life but me/
evryone can die happy but me?
evryone can have a sense of togetherness but me?
evryone can just sit by and let this all pass but me?
what is wrong with me?
im a dying of an internal disease
one that eats away at the soul
eats away until all that are left are the unhappy memories
theyre was a girl
she taught me how to be happy again
but i could never tell her how i felt
i still have the same feelings for her
but she wont get me
no one gets me
not even me
i look in the mirror an wonder
whos that looking at me
that kid with a smile on his face
a dream glimmering in his eyes
a dream that wouldnt die
my dream isnt dead
the only thing thats dead
is the one who dreamed it
the one who lives it is more real
more physical
feels pain
knows the risk of losing brothers, frineds ad family.
i dont want to leave all behind but feel i must
except for that one girl
the one girl who showed me its ok to be upset
the one that told me that if ur upset let it out
the one that i would be there for
the one i would always be there for
the one where i will always be there for
i wont let her down
we will leave together
we will go together
we will die together
what if she dies?
how could i go on?
knowing the only one i can honestly say i loved
is dead
not coming back
forever alone once more
back into my pit of self-absordintion
back where i tried so hard to fight back
the demons that will now consume my soul?
i know not now what i will do
i do not know what the fates have in store for me
all i know is
im ready
alas i told the "one" who showed me how to be happy
i showed her the poem
she dint understand
she dint see the pain behind my words
i now fear she is gone not the one i knew
the times have changed her an me
her for the better
her mind is now not subject to such dark illusions as min
but still.....
ill miss the times we comforted each other greatly
more than she will
by chance she will forget about me within the year
i dont like those odds
shes happy now i should be too
but something always has to drag my mood down
be it drugs, alcohol or whatever else
she seems untouchable
i now know what i did not
i am fragile
easy to brake
brittle
but still i get tossed around lik a play thing
perhaps i am
perhaps god has others like me under his gun
told to dance simply because he said so
so they comply
as have i
ive bent to fulfill his will
not my own
i seek acception for who i am
but cannopt find it
if i could choose
it would be to get the hell out of here
no matter the alternative
to leave behind my world
or perpetual darkess
seems like a bad idea
in the darkness i find comfort
i find emily
my kindred soul
parted from this world
we have not spoke
but when i see her
i understand
i understand why im here
why i live in fear of myself
why i live in fear of others
why i live in fear of death
why i live in fear
i see a red door an i want it painted black
black as my soul
black as the soul i used to have
the one that kept me from leuahgin at the unfortunate
no i dont care
other people misery is ammusing
as is mine to others
i take that in stride
but after
seeing what ive seen
feeling what ive felt
being who i am
i do not see my sadness as a handicap
more as a power
a hidden one
still hidden
rightfully unleashed or simply let out
but to what purpose
to remain empty
until i can once again let it out
after that accumulated time will i change?
im not ready
for what the fates have in store anymore
i fear my future
what will it hold
will she be there?
waiting for me?
telling me things are ok
things will always be ok
as long as she is around
will i be ok?
will i be there?
will i always be there?
will she always be there?
these answers
i dont want answered
not a single one
if someone told me
she would be there
id call them a liar
if someone told me
she wouldnt be there
id call them a liar
i might never find these things out
until they happen
but what then?
shes there?
shes not there?
what will i do on whatever path i follow?
will i find my others?
will i find another "one"
will she be there forever?
or will she leave?
will i leave her?
bring her down?
bring myself down further
into the pit again
for the demons to feast on me
not my soul
its already takin
but now my heart
do they tug on my heartstrings
like they were chords
bringing down more victims?
if so
bring them on
all of them
my heart is as empty as that glass
the glass that i used to pour myself some
some what?
will i finish that sentence?
admit i need a stiff drink time to time?
or if i did say that
would i be lying
i can no longer tell my facts and lies are
are..........disturbed
unorganized
all over the place
i listen to my music
my calming music
but is it truly calming?
with still these thoughts filtering in and out
in my heart out my mind
or the other way around?
which is wich any more?
i surly cannot tell
can you?
the end of this poems second part is near
but to what?
nothing that is
why cant i find peace?
i find fault with evrything
evrything i do
evrything anyone does
anything that happens at all
effects me
why is this so?
why am i writing?
letting this out?
i havent in the past
so why now?
did something in someone change me?
did I change me?
but when?
and how?
did i change after all?
i still repaet myself
over an over
it seems
the same message
lost in translation
i start it out
but its gets lost
so here it is
i dont know who i am
i used to be able to look on the brighter side
but now
i cannot
i do not know why
and might not ever know
never know any true joy
the joy of love
the joy of marriage
even the joy of raising children
all my dreams seem to be cut down
by one girl
who said shed come
but now
she is happy
who am i to take that away from her
somehting she must have worked hard for
buut what if she dint
what if it came naturally
did I bring her down
after all we havent talked in a while
an when we do
she seems happy
why cant i?
so i bring people down?
or do i bring myself down?
with my thoughts of pain and suffering
and here we go again
repetion
to try to
find myself?
but why!?
WHATS THE POINT!!!!
I'LL NEVER FIND MYSELF
ITS USELESS
ITS A FUTILE ATTEPMT TO REBUILD MYSELF
its useless........
thats it isnt it?
after all this the answer was as
simple as that?
then why did it take me so long to find it?
but whats usueless/
trying to make myself a better person?
trying to change?
being happy?
yes.....
its useless for me to be happy
whatever i do.....
somehting worse happens
i can be content but if
im evcer happy for too long
ill be depressed again
so what can i do?
let my life pass?
let it slip by me
right through my fingers?
out of my grasp
while i drown
in this cesspool
this cesspool of evil
evil known as justin
as i watch myself drown i realize
beuty is in the eye of the beholder
but happiness is in the mind
or is it?
if i think happy ill be happy?
hahaha
here i go again
so part three ends
with no part 4 on the way
brings me back
to those memories we never had
of you and me
so alone but together
my arm around you
your arm around me
together we were free
i wake up from this dream
i wake from the constant thoughts of you
but i cant help
but feel this pain when i see you
your not mine never will be
your eyes are for another
i think of the things well never do
the things well never see
the things well never talk about...
i think of all the moments ill waste without you
all the moments i wont kiss you
all the moments i wont look into your eyes
and see you looking in mine
