We all battle demons in our minds  Anxiety and depression are so unkind We all go through dark times in our lives  And our support systems help us thrive  Whether it's friends, family, or even a Pro They are integral in helping us to grow in making sure we continue to fight  And helping us through the sleepless night   Overthinking is one of the worst parts  It can hurt so bad it'll tear you apart Getting lost in our own heads is bad too  It's like watching reruns of all we've been through  We go over it all more than we should  And all the bad stuff outweighs the good We all have our go-to coping mechanisms And we run to them for temporary escapism Some people endure, it makes them strong  Others reach out, and that's never wrong  A selfish few sometimes take advantage The kindness they offer can feel like a bandage  But they prey on our ability to think and cope  And give us all a false sense of hope  But there are ...

We’re all driven by our emotions By how we feel, in any situation We're built for both joy and pain Even if it drives us all insane It's the way of the world we live in Even if sometimes it feels like a prison That's human nature, how it's meant to be We feel everything we touch, hear and see Love, happiness, pain, and sadness Stress, frustration, anger, and madness Our emotions can break us or keep us intact Because they always determine how we react Our reactions are based on what we feel And sometimes it clouds fake from real Emotions also define how we see others And sometimes dictates how we treat one another They can unite and separate people And give us strength or make us feeble We're born with free will to make our own choices And we have a right to use our own voices But our voices aren't always strong Because sometimes they can steer us wrong So think about the feelings, each and every day Because in reality, our emotions can lead us astray

Everyone has something to say About the things, we do every day Everyone’s entitled to use their voice Whether we listen or not, is our choice People always try to cut us down But it’s up to us to swim or drown Like actions, even words can hurt Where it comes from, defines its worth Sometimes unexpected stones are cast And it’s clear some things aren’t meant to last But how important are the voices we hear? How much does it hurt when the truth is clear? Don't listen to irrational and idle chatter Think about whose opinion really matters If it questions the foundations of loyalty and trust Then weighing the pros and cons is a must So before all of it gets in your head Just ask yourself, who said?

Intimidating, sad, unhappy and moody scary, a loner, depressing and broody melancholy, angry, stupid and lazy a doormat, unlucky, fat, slow and ugly On the flip side, gentle, charming and funny a real nice guy, stoic, warm and fuzzy an em-path, a listener and a loving friend a teddy bear, caring and loyal till the end Now, before you cringe at the words you see these are words people use to describe me It's like I'm two people, polar opposites at that but there is only one of me and that's a fact Most times now people only see me frown because of heavy thoughts that weigh me down people think I'm scary and don't really approach and some think my heart is too easy to poach Some people think  I'm obsessed with my past that I let it control me and that I'm being daft it's funny to me how things can be assumed but I guess I cant let myself get consumed See, I've made mistakes like anyone would and I've paid my dues l...

It's almost an art form, bottling it all up Not saying a word and letting your blood boil Showing a smile to the world, staying strong Yet crying and letting go behind closed doors, Though it doesn't really work for everyone, Cos some hearts can only take so much Until they boil over and the rage kicks in And you lose control of your emotions Sometimes losing control is perceived as weak It ostracizes people and overshadows everything Any and all good deeds go down the drain pipe And you're left to tangle with your troubles alone But is it really weak to accept your pain? And want company during hard times? Is it really fair to ostracize the already lonely? When all they ever wanted was a friend? You feel your nightmares become real All your dreams dissappear before you And your past will haunt you everyday No choice, you just have to live through it Your heart, beating broken beats and so hollow That empty, lonely feeling of remorse inside The d...

I’ve always tried to be a good person, To be helpful, caring and kind, To be genuine with no real reason But apparently I’m arrogant and blind Is it wrong to believe there is good in our hearts? And that people can still take a stand? Since when is it weak and when did we start, Accepting that savagery is grand? Am I the only one who still believes in romance? And love in its unconditional form? You’ll never really know if you don’t take a chance And face what you’re hiding from Am I the only one left who sees right from wrong? And believes that there is always hope around? Kindness isn’t weak; in fact it makes you strong Even if in this hectic world, help can always be found There’s always someone willing to listen to you To lend an ear, a hand or a shoulder to cry on Someone to help you muscle through I believe in this, and that not everyone is a moron And that there is still good out there But I guess that’s not ho...

One day I’ll get things right And only then will I give up the fight One day everything will work out  And I’ll finally know what life is all about One day I’ll be back on my feet And I’ll move forward without retreat One day I will make all the rules And I will no longer be judged or called a fool One day the tears will stop falling And I’ll stand up instead of crawling One day I’ll be able to stand strong And make right all I ever did wrong One day I‘ll be back on top of my game And I won’t have to hang my head in shame One day I just might meet someone again And she will free my heart from these lonely chains One day I’ll earn back the respect and trust I lost I’ll get through the hard times no matter the cost One day the whole world will hear me say That I made it to the top, and I did it my way

Life is full of difficult decisions It never really ends up how we envisioned  We never get everything we want, that's fact  We just play the hand we're dealt from the pack  It's hard for everyone this game we call life  We all face our hardships and battle through strife Sometimes things work out, sometimes they don't  The hardest thing is accepting it, cos mostly we won't Life is a gamble and that's nobody's fault And losing is like covering an open wound with salt Some to walk away without dealing with pain Though facing your demons is the only way to stay sane But then there times when the game goes right And for these battles, we must stand and fight Cos at the end of the it'll being joy to your heart Even if it brings pain, just bite the bullet from the start

We’ve all felt those god awful feelings The kind that hurt so bad they leave us reeling Some people will never understand the pain Or how it slowly but surely drives us insane Depression is a brutal killing machine It’s felt by millions, though it’s rarely seen Most suffer in silence and bottle it all inside And it feels like there’s no bright side It has no remorse, the merciless pain it brings No matter what it stems from, it’s unforgiving Some claim that being emotional is a cry for attention But those people don’t realize that it’s not the intention There’s no way to measure how much pain one endures And nobody has the right to judge that pain, that’s for sure People can be vicious and insufferably remorseless fools And to ridicule someone who suffers, is just plain cruel Imagine the difference we help could make in someone’s heart If we had just listened to them and been there from the start We could save countless lives if we could ju...
