Happiness isn't free, I know that now. I just thought for once, Just once, that I could stop faking, That I could let my guard down. Now here I am, In the depths of hell; oh yes it's real, very real. I can feel my heart slowly being broken. I hope you got what you wanted. Happiness is never free, I ...

I want to be happy, I really do... It's just hard. Everyday it gets harder and harder; The skies get darker and darker; My heart grows colder and colder with each passing day. I can here the blade calling my name, My mind is telling me to cut, that everything will me better, but my heart is telling ...

Everyday it gets harder. Everyday it's like a nightmare progressing on. Everyday is another prayer echoing from my bones asking god to take me now. Everyday I close up more. Everyday it gets more impossible. Everyday I feel myself die some more. Everyday I lay on my bed wondering how I'll leave this...

It's funny...you actually believe I'm happy, You actually think the smile on my face is real. It's not, Look into my eyes, you see that sparkle? You think that's from being happy? It's not It's the tears building up, telling you I'm about to break. Do you care? No, nobody does. When you actually sto...

I think of you every time the blade slices through my skin, I think of every name you called me, every bruise you gave me, every heart ache I know by the time you see this, I will be gone, free from your torture, And you, you will feel awful Every time you came down the hallways, you saw me cower in...

I smile by day, I cry by night. I say "I'm happy." - but that's just not right. I traveled through heaven just to end up in hell; underneath my silence is a yell for help. I don't need someone to save me, no knight in shining armor, nobody to carry me through the dark. All I need - it's really quite...

I'm sorry I'm not perfect, I'm sorry I couldn't be the one, but I know that it's not my loss, it's yours You could have had an amazing person in your life, but you let her go, You let her think she wasn't good enough, like she's worthless now, like nobody would care. You made her think she was perfe...

I could have chosen a rich, poor;
black, white,funny, boring;
fat, skinny, smart, dumb;
mean, nice best friend
but out of all my choices
I chose you
and one things for sure,
I'll NEVER make the mistake
of choosing YOU again

your welcome I just really liked this poem

I heard this poem in school and thought it needed to be shared

By what sends
the white kids
I ain't sent:
I know I can't
be President.
What don't bug
them white kids
sure bugs me:
We know everybody
ain't free.
Lies written down
for white folks
ain't for us a-tall:
Liberty And Justice--
Huh!--For All?

Following us around
Never abandoning us
When others do
Look close enough
And you'll see us
Shadows are part
Of history and
The future
They'll never leave
So don't try
You will always fail
