Reflection
          Staring through a veil of tears
          Mirror girl looks back at me.
          Mimicking her every move
          I sit silently and watch
          As a solitaire tear
          Trails down her already stained cheek.
          Smirking faces haunt me
          And break my will.
          I want to scream out against it all
          Yet at the same time
          I want to curl up in a corner and die.
          Distractions come and go,
          The happiness is quick to end.
          But the problems still remain
          Sometimes growing even worse.
          A glass angel I hold in my hands,
          A symbol of love
          It shatters.
          The things I hold dear to me
          Crumble in my awkward hands.
          Life falls apart before me
          And all I can do is watch with little care.
          As I watch the pieces of the shattered mirror fall
          Like so many crushed dreams...
          I leave the pieces where they lay
          And with them I leave behind
          My last grain of hope.

          Incomplete
          Not past the breaking point
          But on the sharp edge of insanity.
          All will to live
          All care for this world
          Is sapped out of my soul
          Like water draining from a bath tub,
          Except the turn of a knob does not replace my will.
          I can feel madness gnawing its way into my being,
          I’m being driven towards a break down
          In a vehicle going mach speed.
          Screaming for help
          With a silent voice,
          Screaming for a new life
          With no one around to hear my cries.
          Bowing out
          I wave good bye to all those I’ve loved
          And all those I’ve never known.
          Reopening old scars
          The flesh tears with all the swiftness of a hot knife through butter.
          Now everyone will see

          Hatred
          You’re worthless,
          You’ll never amount to anything,
          Everything you say is bad,
          Everything you do is wrong.
          What horrible things to say to someone,
          But what happens when they are directed at yourself?

          The importance of the soul is known,
          Yet no caution was ever taken.

          Now all I can do
          is beat myself
          with hate.

          Dying from the inside out
          And no hope for salvation,
          anywhere.

          The cries die out
          tired of not being heard.
          Hope dies with a whimper.

          Tears replace a shattered heart.
          Sweeping the pieces away in a daze.

          Misery is endless
          Hope torn violently away
          save me…help me…

          Can no longer ask anymore
          no one ever heard
          So forever I shall be silent.

          Days drudge by
          Tears falling into puddles of blood.

          Precious crimson drips down
          a young neck
          And eyes closed
          never to be opened again.

          Battling Depression
          There’s a siege on my soul
          I’m loosing all hope
          all will to live…
          An invisible force is attacking
          and I’m caught with all defenses down

          A smile, a laugh, none of it lasts forever.
          I hate this depression, I’m tired of feeling this despair
          I watch things and all I see is the sadness
          The happiness goes past me
          and I feel nothing at all
          I am blinded by my emotions,
          emotion…
          depression

          I reach for a hand that is not there
          no one offering an explanation
          These bonds, shackles, chains on my soul
          Let me be free!
