Being awake when the world is at rest Is probably the worst of life's many tests Lying awake in the dead of the night  With a thousand thoughts that shine so bright  Haunted by memories of a past so wild  Cigarette smoke lingers in the breeze so mild The minutes keep ticking over on the clock  And overthinking everything is barely a shock The flickering TV is just a tiny distraction Still unable to sleep, regardless of the action So many problems and so few solutions The silence of night in complete dissolution The days are long and the nights even longer With every second, the pain gets stronger Day in, day out it’s the same cold routine An endless looping of the same old scene It’s sad but true; there’s no rest for the weary Only vexing inhibitions that make you teary Insomnia is a curse, it's so dark and unkind It's hell on the body and even worse on the mind

Insult me,go on, keep bitching and moaning I won't fall prey, I'll just keep on ignoring I will not bow down to you petty minded folk Or to those who think I'm nothing but a joke I've been torn apart by many over the years I pushed through the pain and fought back tears For years, I've ripped out knives from my back And kept on fighting to get my life on track Yes, I've made mistakes, I'm just a human being Comndemnd by judgment to the anger you're seeing Nobody ever remembers the good that I've done Despite it all,  it's my life that's come undone I'm still learning truths about my so called friends The one's who promised they'd be there till the end The same lot who abandoned me when I was down But guess what, I'm still afloat and I didn't drown I stood with you and picked you up after the falls Woke up in the middle of the night to answer calls You held my mistakes against me, and I didn't see...

My, my what an absolute shame That some “men” think that life’s just a game When did we lose our grasp on common sense? And start preying on weakness and innocence? It’s true; we live in a world with people who’re cruel But when did that become an absolute rule? I’m a man, and it’s all so disgusting to me That some take advantage while others pretend not to see  It’s unfortunate that this is the reality we have to live in Will “men” actually understand the affects of what they’re doing? What gives you the right to abuse the people that gave you life? Cos “She” is your mother, your sister, your daughter and even your wife! Do you really think that assaulting a woman makes you a man? Do you really think that anyone is impressed or truly gives damn? And don't make excuses about upbringings and childhood Or that abuse begets abuse, cos that doesn’t make it right or good Nothing on earth can justify these actions, nothing at all and to those who defen...

We've all seen those crazy nights Full of drunk texts, meltdowns or fights Or even those where we fall on our face Cos of all the neat shots we forgot to chase The party goes on till the morning sun And hangover headaches just aren't fun  Your friends call and only then you find out  Everything you did before you blacked out  Then it all comes crashing back into your mind Blurry memories clearing up and some so unkind  All you wanted to do was go get drunk and sing But now looking back, it's just plain embarrassing Drunk posts and texts you shouldn't have sent  The ridiculous bills that show what you spent  And mysterious bite marks you find on your neck You see in the mirror saying "what the heck?" You walked around with your drunken stare Itching to start something, cos you didn't care When someone said something to one of your own It all jumped off, but there are no broken bones A random love song made your hea...

The heart is truly our weakest organ A tug to the left or right and we're done It can be broken by words and actions And a broken one always hinders attraction There are emotionally driven folks around Who go unnoticed, cos they don't make a sound Cos thinking with one's heart is perceived as weak Even though it's empathy or acceptance they seek The heart understands things the mind cannot But it misinterprets thing more often than not Love is one of those things, it's a thing of the past And now friendships and relationships don't last A heart is overshadowed by unusual cruelty now People are ostracized and hurt, but they never bow They're treated blindly and aren't taken seriously The cruel just keep feeding on the pain deliriously But even the seemingly heartless feel the pain Even their hearts silently drive them insane Somehow they manage it and it doesn't show They bottle it up, embrace it and let it go Not ever one can do ...

Why is it so hard these days To find someone who actually stays? Is it really selfish and unfair To want just one person to really care? Humans are screwed up creatures Lost, despite their beautiful features They only know how to lie, cheat and steal And nobody shows how they truly feel Nowadays people are just cold and cruel And they play you and make you feel like a fool Undying Loyalty is a thing of the past And thus,  no friendship or relationship will last But then, there are still a few rare cases Where we find people without multiple faces There are those who are loyal and caring Particularly when hard times are blaring People like this hardly exist anymore Where it's not an act or elaborate show A genuine few who aren't full of their own faeces And these rare folks are an endangered species 

They dwell within the souls of us all When they're unleashed, everything falls Keeping them subdued within is hard Unhinged they'd go the whole nine yards Even their faces look a lot like our own Holding them down takes strength unknown Living with pain & anger and alone since birth Seldom seen by anyone on the face of the earth We fight the temptations, we can't give in We cannot fall to the hurt we feel within Instead, despite the anquish and stress We must lock them away, and leave out the rest Sometimes they break out from under lock and key And spread carnage as far as the eye can see They are the spawn of our burden and rage And we fight to put them back in their cage The monsters in us, others hardly ever see A simple glimpse and your loved ones flee They will hurt you and everyone you know So whatever you do, never let them go
