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 ...

You speak to me, in ways I never knew  It's amazing how you see right through  You're like a warm embrace on a cold night And you make every situation feel so right   You speak to my heart, so true and pure Pain is a disease and you are a cure You're able to define the emotions we feel You’re the only thing that's pure and real   Even without a voice, you speak a million words You bring people together from all over the world The power you hold is second to none And you're our friend when we have no one   You are heard everywhere and loved by all You've held my hand and caught me as I fall Whether I'm happy or sad, you'll always be there You don't even know me, but I know you care   Crossing cultural, racial, and ethnic divides You yourself are a language that provides No matter the message, everyone listens You speak to through every note written   You understand without so much as a question You truly are the world's greatest invention Without ...

There you are, a distant memory  A ghost that continues to haunt me Just a reminder of the love I feel Another chapter in a story, surreal I've trusted my heart, I have no regrets And you were as real as real could get All I wanted was to love you and be true  Because I always saw the real you  I saw the pain and the darkness within And the shadows you've tried to hide them in  I've seen the truth, I've seen your heart And I've known you right from the start  I understand why I wasn't right  And I know why you weren't willing to fight The fault is mine, and mine alone And that's why I am still on my own I guess there just wasn't meant to be A future for the likes of you and me Not romantically, but maybe as friends  And yet if you need me, I'll be there till the end  Will I hold it against you? No, I won't  Do I regret anything? No, I don't  The heart wants what the heart wants  And it's my heart that you will always haunt  In ...

Those with golden hearts Are cursed from the start  They feel more than others  And as such, they suffer  They love unconditionally  And make decisions irrationally  They cling to glimmers of hope  Cos it's the only way they cope  But they're often put to the test And they hurt more than the rest Cos they are driven by empathy  And are clouded by sympathy  Easily open and freely used  And quite often they are abused   Hearts that thrive on loyalty Honesty, love, and integrity They give too much too soon And they never end up immune To pain, to suffering, and grief It always seems like there's no relief No matter how good the intentions They don't even get an honorable mention It's almost a law that is unspoken That hearts of gold always end up broken

Who is good for us and who isn't? Who improves us and who doesn't? It's up to us to choose, though it is tough  Who we want by our sides, when life gets rough  Friendships are a dime a dozen, that's a fact  And everyone claims that they have your back As we get older, everything changes  Even best friends, can end up strangers  But it's up to us, it's our call to make Even if the decision is or ends up a mistake  And though looking out for ourselves is a must It is important to know who we can trust  Because we all fester about who will be there, And sometimes we're blind to people who really care  Communication is another essential  Because a lack of it, can be a defining differential  We can a do lot by just reaching out to each other  And resolve any issues we have with one another  If we accept our faults, we can progress more  As human beings we have to, in order to grow  It’s easy to blame others for our shortco...

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

On our family, loved ones and friends We only see the good in them all And hope they’ll catch us when we fall We blindly put our hearts in their hands Regardless of where they stand But sometimes that trust is misplaced And we end up in a really dark place Trust is hard to rebuild when it’s broken Especially when no words are spoken It leaves our hearts broken and tattered Making us feel like we never really mattered But that’s life and not everyone stays And we still open our hearts every day Because nobody wants to live life alone And even if it’ just a voice on the phone We need someone to talk to and to listen Because our own minds can feel like prison It's the people that stay that are an absolute godsend They truly care and will be there till the end But still, for all, it would be naive  To think that even they won't leave But it's not wrong to trust or open our hearts Because we never know what it may start? It could be ...

Unrequited love is the worst kind of pain It hurts so much it can drive us all insane Nothing blinds more than one’s own heart Especially when the battle is lost from the start It's almost crippling and it always ends in sorrow You're just a victim of Cupids misguided arrow Falling in love shouldn’t ever be regretted Even when it’s someone you never expected It's like they don't see you for who you are But when you open up its like they don't care The heart wants what it wants and that’s okay Some just aren’t going to feel the same way It's just something that was never meant to be No matter how right it felt, they just can’t see They just don’t feel the same as you feel Even if in your heart it all felt so real You end up on the sidelines with nothing to show And become just another person that they ignore That’s just how life goes; you can’t force its hand Sometimes things just don’t go as planned To those who’ve been there, don’t...

There’s so much you hold inside So much that you don’t confide Outward smiles and inward screams Reflecting on your broken dreams When it’s all pent up, it takes a toll And you feel the fire within your soul Your blood starts to boil deep within But you can’t let out what you’re holding in It may be your family, even your friends And it feels like it will never end People love to tell you to how to deal And how you’re supposed to feel They tell you that you must stay strong Because reacting is apparently wrong Nothing good can come from violence So just absorb and deal in silence Keep throwing punches in your mind And destroy the ones being so unkind Let your mind take pleasure in the pain Of all the fiends driving you insane Just hold back with all your might Drive out your demons and continue to fight Just take a breath and control your rage And don’t let the monster out of its cage

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...

You hang your head in shame knowing that you're to blame then realising life is not a game and that nothing will be the same Your decisions came at a cost looking back at all your lost at every opportunity you've tossed regretting every line you crossed Reeling from a broken heart but it was always you from the start you're the reason life fell apart and you've turned it into an art Paying the price for all your crimes could actually take a really long time in certain eyes you're worse than slime and your apologies aren't worth a dime It doesn't matter how hard you've tried or how many tears you've cried eventually the pain will subside to your circumstances you must abide Forgive your foes and embrace your friends cos only a few will be at there in the end just take your time and make amends and let your guilty conscience mend

There you go again, you're too damn easy it's driving me insane and making me queasy Stop falling at first sight! it's your biggest mistake so blind to wrong & right and to what's real and fake This is why you get hurt, cos you always jump the gun you'll just end up in the dirt thinking 'she might be the one' Learn to control yourself so that we can coexist let's get off this stupid shelf and things might get fixed Don't let people use you you're nobody's doormat just keep pushing through and ignore the backchat I think we can go far if we put aside our regrets for the stronger that you are, the stronger I will get

We’re all allowed to speak our minds But should we if we’re being unkind? Who are we to step on another’s beliefs, And unnecessarily cause people grief? Our words alone can have a terrible effect When we don’t think of who they’ll affect We just say and do things without remorse Ignorant to the harm it may actually cause Some use opinions to spread hate and pain Deliberately hurting people for personal gain They prey on peoples lifestyles and choices without realizing the power of their voices  Having an opinion is a true god given right And when we express it we often lose sight Of the responsibility we have for word and actions And that we must accept people’s reactions One of our saddest truths despite everything Is that we forget that we’re all human beings We don’t have to step on another’s dominion We can live and let live but then that’s my opinion

Wow, I can’t believe I've been so blind as to why this world has become so unkind I almost ashamed that it took this long for me to understand that I was oh so wrong I've only blamed myself for all my scars never thinking once that I strayed so far my dependency on friends was a big mistake cos I couldn’t distinguish between real from fake I didn't care at all about how the world saw me cos ultimately, what you get is what you see now I understand why people just walk away guess people just got sick of seeing me this way true, we should never judge a book by its cover especially when someone’s life has turned sour but if they open up, regardless of a platform? do we walk away or help them weather the storm? most times we assume that they’re crying wolf even though we never really have any proof that people who cry out are nothing but faking imagine the toll that walking away is taking that's how unkind the world is and now I kno...

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...

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...

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 ...

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

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...

When the world has you against the ropes And has you feeling like you have no hope One simple decision can make or break you But only you make it and see it through We’ve all been there, and its absolute hell It’s like taking a nose dive into bottomless well People lose their respect for us and beat us down Our smiles are lost and all we do is frown We fell like the whole world is against us Like we’ve been run over repeatedly by a bus But we can turn it around and take our lives back We can all make a change and get things on track And fight with all our heart so we’re never on the brink While believing in ourselves and not what the world thinks Cos it takes only one critical decision Made with clear mind and perfect vision One simple choice, and it’s not rocket science Changing our lives needs only one act of defiance
