The Bookcase Brought You To Your Knees
I see your bookcase has brought you to your knees
Because there was too much beauty on its shelves
The dust settled on the sleeves is the book's disease
Trying to hide the story it has to tell
It has grown thicker with every passing year
Shipwrecked words are now beginning to sink
Beneath a sea of silt silent suffering
Now you finally catch a glimpse of the link
Just because the book has remained unused
It does not mean its beauty will diminish
Just because you’ve been hiding in the shadow
It does not mean that your story has finished
You will crawl from the shadows to your feet
Like you’re slowly evolving to upright man
Homo e
I sent my child out to school today
With cuts up the length of her arm
Knowing that the teachers will just say
She doesn't seem the type to self harm
I just hope today isn't the day
For physical education class
I’ll give her a note to be excused
But how long can these excuses last?
Such a happy girl, always smiling
Or so they’re lead to believe at least
Such a happy girl, always smiling
They don’t know her father is a beast
I sent my wife out to work today
With the remnants of a bloody nose
And bruises to her upper arms
That I was hoping would not show
I will buy her a long sleeved shirt
As a gift to apologise
Tell her
From that Thursday night
In the middle where we met
I fell so hard for you
And I haven't landed yet
Your voice set me free
Your eyes set me ablaze
You engulfed my soul
And cleared the haze
In so many ways you have
Showed me how good life can be
You will never understand
Just how much you mean to me (mean to me)
Everyday with every breath
I will breath for you
You truly saved my life
If you only knew (only knew)
I owe you my life
And everything I am
Before I met you
I was only half a man (half a man)
Your love has lifted me
It changed my whole world
I can do so much more
Then I could before
I've never craved anyone
Like I crave you n
Life
Simply the joy and laughter
are those the things that make it great
The triumphs and defeats
All along an endless battle to victory
Or maybe its the stepping stones overlooked
The pieces led to each event
Those moments where you light a fuse
and shortly hear the rocket shoot to the air
The moments of silence with anticipation
Watching the embers flicker above
Curiosity takes
unsure of what to expect
Amazement bursts above you
With what you have done
you can do nothing
Nothing but stare for so long
Your eyes fixed above
watching the lights die down
When you come to
once again able to rest your eyes
Within that eternity that passed
you
So the morning has once again broken
Into shattered pieces of a brand new day
And I’m trying to avoid asking myself
If I’m here and if I’m feeling okay
You see, yesterday I fractured my mind
Now today I am avoiding the cracks
That pave my path towards recovery
But one day I promise I’ll get back
‘You will get back to where exactly?’
With puzzled faces I hear my friends ask
To a point where I feel I am capable
Of completing simple every day tasks
That each one of you will take for granted
But are the fabric of my sanity
That I will weave into a blanket of hope
To shelter my mind from misery
Now the even
They said I'd have the time of my life
I was bored
They said that i would make heaps of friends
I was alone
They said that it would be fun
It wasn't
They said that I would have a boyfriend
No one asked me out
They said that the teachers would control the class
They didn't
They said that counseling would help me
It made me worse
They said that I would succeed
i failed

How to live .emo style.
How to live.
Wake up in the morning;
And plaster your wounds.
A dash of fake happiness,
Covered with a mask of joy.
Fake smiles in every direction
Followed by the melodic sound of your high pitched voice.
Hold it in ;
until the day ends.
Close your heart,
Be sure ,
not to let one ounce,
of pain and misery,
trickle from your steel cased heart.
Hide behind the darkness,
keep to yourself.
Smile and laugh it off,
Never put up a fight.
Dont expose the wounds to love.....
They, may become infected!
Stay behind your body armor
And let all go on without you.
{Hold yourself together on the surface
Let yourself go ..on the insi
She wants to help
She wants to take the blame for others
She wants their pain to go away
She wants to be a vessel for their troubles
She wants everyone to go on and leave her behind
She wants them to feel better
She wants to carry the weight for him
She wants them not to worry about her
She wants them to hate her
She wants to take it all in
She wants to dissapear
She wants them to go on as if she was never there
She wants to stop speaking in the third person
She wants to realize that she is me
