Too Late

by Isaac

it's too late for you
to make it right inside all these
i used to be willing to die for you,
but I no longer cry for you
I act like i'm fine
underneath this skin i scream
I'll break all these damn mirrors
can't stand myself
i hate myself
I'm going through some changes
I don't know what they are,
but I keep flowing through em
I walk around, people always staring
Just take a sleeping pill or I can't sleep
slit my wrist to make myself have some justice
doesn't make sense except in the moment
I'll never get a chance again
so i'll just say the truth
i fuckin hate you.
it's just too late

Till I Run Dry

by Isaac

till i collapse
i'ma fight,
but i ain't a fucking fighter
just a fuckin loner
i ain't the corrupted
i'm the corrupter
i'm no longer the influenced
but this time the
influencer
they all say
"say no 2 drugs"
why don't you help me
and i wont take that road
but too late now to say you're sorry
because it's all gone
i'm gone faster than a fawn

Why?

by Destiny

I don't know what's going on
nor can I explain why
but I'm tired of all the endless nights
where all I can do is cry.

My life is a crossroad,
I don't know where to turn,
and I'm too afraid to step in the fire,
because I might get burned.

The things you say,
the things you do,
are not just hurting me
but hurting others too.

One day I won't be here,
you won't see me anymore,
you'll sit there from the window,
watching me walk out the door.

You're tearing this family apart,
and we'll never be the same,
you're toying with all our lives,
Come on now, this isn't a game.

My heart is starting to hurt,
and I may begin to cry,
But before I do, tell me one thing,
why?

Bitter End

by Z.B.

I asked for a ride
You left me abandoned
I asked for a smile
You made me cry
I asked for warmth
You threw me into a blizzard
I asked for shelter
You left me homeless
I asked for happiness
You filled me with grief
I asked for my life
You threw me into the jaws of death
Now one last time I ask you
To forgive me
For chasing after you

Life Without You Won't Do

by Hannah

You're without a doubt
All I dream about
Not loving you is like blacking out
Forgetting about you is harder than you know

I fell for you hard
You caught me off guard,
left me hanging in the air

Your lips pushed me over the edge
Now I know I can't live without you
I know I can't breath without hearing your voice
over the phone or hearing you whisper in my ear

Fell in love with you
There was nothing I could do
You made me fall hard and I didn't think anyone
could make me feel more alive

You were all I needed
I'd do anything for you
I will love you forever
through wherever life takes us

What happened to that
Can you hear my heart break
Because I can feel it
but I can't take it

I didn't mean to you what you meant to me
My eyes didn't make you feel alive
As yours did to me
As you played my heart and left me aching

Life can't be worth living
When you're not here to live it with me
I can't do it without you
And I can't take the empty feeling you left with me

Breaking Up

by Kristan

I regret how I treated you
You broke my heart too
I love you so much
I miss your touch
I want to hate you
I wish I would have knew
That all you wanted to do was play
I wish you would have said the words you had to say
Why did you hurt me?
And ruin everything we was supposed to be
Why did you throw everything away?
We could still be together this very day
I want everything back
I don't want love to lack
Why did you send me away with tears
You didn't make anything clear
You said we were meant to be?
Why did you use me?
You shouldn't have lied
about what we were suppose to be.
I have lost you
I'm sorry for everything I do.
What is it about her?
Is there something wrong with me?
I want what we used to be.
I don't want money, sex, I want your love
Your love sent to me from above.
Who are you when I'm not looking?
I want to watch you on the couch facebooking
I want you home with me
Things need to go back to the way they used to be
Together forever in my heart.
No one should have torn that apart.

Pain That Rules

by Kelsie

It's pain that affects me
Stress that rules me
Hate that gives me all the rage to blow
Want to escape..
Need to escape..
Before I start rolling down that hill
Walking down that dark path
I pray for my mental state to die down
I pray that my body keeps going
That I stop rolling
That one day waking up was not as hard
One day I looked at life with different eyes
One day I felt pleasure and happiness once again
If I could make anything in this world go away
It would be the thoughts that almost killed me
The pain, that doesn't hurt anymore
Get out of my head, make this life go away
And replace me with a new mind and look with new eyes

My Recovery

by Kristan

I am not the same person I was before
My recovery has opened a lot of doors
Picking up that white key tag was great
Even though I was late
I could pick up those drugs anyday
But I choose to say that drugs are ***
Why do I do the things I do?
This question I dont have the answer to
Change takes time
Time is all mine
I might not ever get all better
That is why I am writing this letter
I am me
This is the person I will forever be
Maybe I did it to cover the pain
Maybe I did it to keep me sane
No matter what I did it for
I don't want to do it anymore
I want to be clean for me
I want to show everyone what I can be
I know I can say I want to try
I really want this
I will do anything so I don't die
I know some days I am going to sigh
And feel like I wanna die
But I am not going to get high
I am going to live everyday and try not to lie
To all those so called "friends" I say bye
Today I am not going to get high
Just for today
That's all I have to say

Note From A Victim

by Maddy

everyone sees me in this upsetting light,
everyone sees this light growing dimmer and dimmer
as people keep making fun of me.
but yet they don't try to help.
they have their eyes, and they see me,
they have ears, they hear it..
all the lies and the jokes,
but they wont believe me.
i'm wearing a mask to give me a disguise,
it starts and lasts all day;
why wont it just go away?
all the laughter and comments.
i try to say there is no pain,
i try to be strong for the ones
i need to be an example for.
who are you to pick my soul apart?
i wonder if you realize that you and i are just the same,
making me cry is worse than suicide.
i remember when i loved school, i remember always going
and being upset when i got sick because i missed a day.
but that all changed in high school.
everyone says im too ugly, too fat, or my hair is ugly.
well in my eyes i am, but i am more than just that.
you don't even understand the stuff ive been through.
everyday i'm suffering, because of what you all say to me,
this time you re not the victim, its me.
this is my life and ive realized, i did no harm.
but don't worry about me,
im just some girl that has people who have ruined her life.
they don't even take the blame
they just live knowing they are hurting am innocent person.
they put me through all this torture that i don't deserve.

My Molestation

by Kristan

I am tearing my family apart
The ones I love with all my heart
Is it my fault he touched me
He changed everything I was supposed to be
For her I have lost
I want her back at all costs
For my grandma he has hurt
All he did was treat her like dirt
When I look in the mirror I feel ugly and fat
I never wanted that
He wanted lust
Because of that I am filled with disgust
She has always been there for me
Now she won't even look at me
It hurts more everyday
I don't even have words to say
My friends don't understand this
Which makes me really pissed
Trying to understand and feel
But I am so lost, don't know how to heal
How do I get my life back
My nightmares give me panic attacks
I don't know how to get better
I have tried writing many letters
All I do is hurt and cry
All my thoughts are I wanna die

Chris

by Kristan

You took away all the pain
I love you so much it drives me insane
I love the way you make me feel
Because of you I healed
Never have I felt this way
God, the love I feel for you each day
I would do anything for you
And I know you would too
I love the way you treat me
You are the only one that has the key
I never want to part
All it would do is break my heart
You drive me so wild
I can't wait to have our first child
I could never make up
For what you have done for me
But that you don't see
You are the best I have ever had
For that I am so glad
I have never fell in love so fast
I hope it will last
I am head over heels in love with you
I feel you are too
You picked me up when I was down
Whenever I am with you I don't frown
I want you to be mine forever
I want you to say forever and ever
I want to be your wife
For the rest of your life
I want kids and to be a mother
And for you to never love another
You have the key to my heart
You better never ever tear that apart

Life

by Kristan

Why do girls want to be fat or thin?
Why be happy every now and then?
Life is short, not that long
Admit your wrongs
No harm or fear
Drop every tear
Make life great
Never miss any date
Have fun
For your life has just begun
Never believe another who hurts you
What they say is not true
You know what you are
Even though words leave scars
Some friends stab you in the back
So trust is really hard not lack
Love hard and kiss slow
Never hate a foe
Time fades and people too
Just forget the ones that hurt you
Be who you are
Because inside and out you are a shining star
Forget the past and let it go
Time never goes slow
Yesterday is gone so it's the past
All you have is today so make it last

Could've Been

by Morgane

Pen in the hand with no paper to spare
I told the truth
got caught in a lie
I held your hand
but you let me die
I kept you close
But you exposed my cries
I let you in
but you locked me out
I wanted you.
I wanted us.
I wanted we.
Staying awake
thinking on what we could be
building a bridge I'd soon have to burn
I gave you the keys
and you drove me crazy
Without a show
you gave me your attention
I wanted you.
I wanted us.
I wanted we.
I wanted you inside of me
Existing off of the Could've Been

Respect

by Nyelle

I am a person
One who should have respect,
I am an African American
And proud to be.
The tears I shed
The blood I shed,
Innocent souls dead,
For being judged
We need respect.
I should be judged
By how I act.
I should be judged
By what I do
And what I say.
Also what I have
To offer the world.
Not by a color which
People call black.
We all need to respect.
Don’t be afraid of me:
You can love me,
Or you can hate me.
All that matters
In the end,
I am still a
Child of God.
And a human being.
I need respect
We all do.
But first,
We all need to know
What is respect?
And what does it mean?

Life

by Anonymous

Life. You are unrequited everything and happy nothing. You make me wake up in the morning and wonder why. I do good and you never reward me. I offer mercy to others and you show me none in return. I suffer and you never comfort me. I break and you never heal me. I cry and you let me drown. I bleed and you let me run dry. I pray and it doesn't matter. I hope til Im blue in the face.

My heart is an open, gaping wound, crying out for someone to save it. But it will never happen and never matter. It will be ignored, stepped on, or used up and returned. And that is who *I* will always be. There is no hope on the horizon. There is no spark waiting to catch flame. There is no one with their heart set on mine. I am as alone as I was yesterday and will only be more so tomorrow.

"If only we had known.." How much do I have to say, with how many words, in how many ways? Do I have to scream, in the middle of the street? Do I have to stop traffic, to get someone to care, to get someone to understand, to get someone to notice? Or perhaps I'll never exist to anyone and will eventually be crushed underneath the weight of my own tears.

I'm Sorry

by Anonymous

Im sorry everybody is better than me
Im sorry everybody is prettier than me
Im sorry everybody is cooler than me
Im sorry nobody wants to talk to me
Im sorry no one wants to be friends with me
Im sorry I hang my head when Im around other people
Im sorry I look at the ground all the time
Im sorry I never smile
Im sorry that even when I try to smile no one can tell
Im sorry no one will ever want to be my boyfriend
Im sorry Ill never have a relationship
Im sorry no one will ever think Im special
Im sorry no one will ever put me first
Im sorry no one will ever send me flowers
Im sorry no one will ever make me dinner
Im sorry no one will ever go out of their way for me
Im sorry Ill never take dancing lessons with my husband when we're old
im sorry no one will ever catch on when Im feeling bad
Im sorry I will never depend on anyone
Im sorry Im a nobody
Im sorry

Secret Kiss

by Aareyon

Your smile glows like the moon,
blossoms Beautiful as the Rose in the purest hope of spring.
My heart follows your deep voice
and leaps like a Rabbit at the whisper of your name.
The evening floats in on a great Butterfly wing.
I am comforted by your hand,
that I carry into the breeze of the wind
and hold next to my Heart.
I am filled with hope,
that you may dry my tears of Ocean Water.
As my Tears falls from my Face,
it reminds me of your laugh.
In the quiet, I listen for the last Laughs of the night.
My heated Face leaps to my Gloves.
I wait in the moonlight for your secret Kiss
So that we may Run as one, hand in hand,
in search of the magnificent and mystical palace of love.
But you no longer exist, so I’ll never get that secret kiss.

When Life Gives You Napalm

by Pockets

If life gives you napalm what shall you do?
Would you burn a city because they are of another race?
Or simply because you have the arbitrary power to?
Would you use it to help the common man
or use it to burn what left remains of his dignity?
Or would you be like us and burn the world to ash
because you think you are better?

Photo Frame

by Zane

I found our old photo frame today, it was tucked under some things, that I had hidden away. I wipe the dust off, and bring the frame to my face, I strain my eyes to see what I thought I saw. A smile was plastered upon my face. No hurt, no pain, not even a trace. Your arm was wrapped around me ever so tight, I can almost hear you whispering it's alright. I take a deep breath, remembering when you left me with no air, simply breathless, but then the tears start to fall, and before I know what's happening I throw the frame at the wall. I watch the glass shatter into small pieces, knowing they can never be fixed with all the damage done. But that's how you left me. Broken, chipped. There are always going to be scars and the hesitation of letting people back into my heart.

My Love for You

by Tanaya

I want a future with you,
You're my lover, you're my boo.
That's true and real.
I know you had a past and love you still.
I won't hurt you or put you in harm,
cause you're the lady I want on my arm.
When you've got a frown,
I want to turn that to a smile.
It's us against the world.
You're my girl,
and I want you to stay in my world.

Kiss Me

by Odalis

Kiss me, not her, damn boy
You complete me,
You've got my head spinning
I'll admit I think of you all day
When you kiss her, I wish it was me
When I see you whisper into her ear,
I imagine that's me
Kick her out; I should be there
Kiss me, not her, cause I love you
I just wish you could know

Why Don't You Stay, Rain?

by Kendra

Why don't you stay, rain?
So you can wash away my pain.
I have too much sorrow,
My happiness need not borrow.
You will be in my heart forever
Even when it's love i sever.
Why don't you stay, rain?
So you can keep me sane.

Tears

by Kendra

Walking through the rain,
I try to forget the pain.
I try to ignore the sting in my eyes,
because I know, a strong girl never cries.
I begin to run, run from my fears.
But I am followed by my ever present tears.
I want to leave these familiar places,
leave behind all of these frequent faces.
But where will I go?
What will I do?
All I know is I have to get faraway from you.
But something keeps me here,
crying one last tear.

Missing You

by Sam

You have the sticky sweet lips,
And of course my hands are on your hips.
Your arms around my neck, as I give you a soft, sweet peck.
Then we kiss, your lips I sure will miss.
And your touch, I miss that so much.
I miss your soft skin, waiting for it to begin.
Time for two, just me, just you.
You're in my arms again.
Then, you mustn't leave me,
Again, not ever again, you see.
My heart beats for you.
Only you, my boo, I love you.

Should I?

by Anonymous

don't figure me out,
i can't tell you one thing.
wait, stay, is that all I am?
I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO ASK YOU TO STAY?
but, thanks to me, you don't know a thing.
no, i'm not DESPERATE, I refuse to show
but does that make me a coward?
NO, I AM STRONGER THAN BEFORE, STRONGER THAN ALL ELSE.
but, what can I say?

every word I whisper,
is a part of me that i begin to trust,
every word is unheard.
every word i say is unheard.
but if I do speak,
please listen,
and know that once I tell you,
i am confiding in you,
may it be the littlest thing.

please, remember me.

I Am the Girl

by Anonymous

I am the girl who felt that ache,
I am the girl whose lunch you’d take,
I am the girl who was frightened by you,
I am the girl who had nothing to do,
I am the girl who spoke not a word,
I am the girl who nobody heard,
I am the girl who took all your lies,
I am the girl who never could rise,
I was the girl who knew you were cruel,
I was the girl you said wasn’t cool,
I was the girl who faced up to her fears,
I was the girl who stood up to her peers,
I am the girl who still cannot let go,
I am the girl who just wants you to know,
I was a person put down by your fun,
I was a person.
Not the only one.

Fake Smiles

by Amelia

They smile at me, because they see a pretty face.
They smile at me, because they see a white race.
They smile at me, not knowing who I really am.
They smile at me, but they don't really give a damn.
I smile back, knowing I need to be nice.
But inside I'm crying, I don't have to think twice.
I've been left before, and I don't want them to leave anymore.
Fake smiles in my life aren't unusual, they cause me great bore.

The New Kid

by Jade

People race past you,
You wonder where they go.
You see strangers everywhere,
and think "I am all alone."
A face looks at you,
She starts walking closer.
She asks, "What's your name?"
You give a great smile.

Elegy on the Death of My Love

by Ayush

There is no reason for love. If there is a reason, it is not love!

The ecstatic drug in my lacklustre life,
The solitary cure of my solitude;
That angel is mine, for once....and forever,
I was dumbstruck, frenzied and hysteric,
All at her attitude!

Love is truth, the dawn of nature;
All the rest - A mere trance, a lie;
I just wanted to hold her tight, just once-
And glide hand in hand: Heart lost, love gained!

Sameer decided to propose the girl.
He was returning after buying a bunch of red roses for her,
when he saw her in a park....Not alone, but with a boy.
The intimacy told he was more than a friend............
The relationship ended before it could start.
Sameer still met her sometimes, at public places mostly;
but he never felt nervous talking to her anymore!

Much worse than a sweet lie, is a bitter truth.
Again was I dumbstruck, a different reason though,
An immigrant in her heart till then,
now craved to leave it fast....and forever;
Her credibility and my trust, both hit an all-time low!

Though undeserving you are,
My love for you can never end,
'Cause I am not dead, just tempest tossed.
I will move ahead, careful of this insomnia,
My heart is now regained, but love lost!

Sameer never told the girl about his love,
and the poor girl doesn't even know what has she lost.
Sameer would have kept her happy more than anyone else
and would have cared for her at all times,
but the girl...she had got her fate sealed!

His Eyes

by Anonymous

His eyes met mine the first day of school.
I felt the warmth in my heart,
I didn't even know his first name.
But the blue and yellow in his eyes
made me think of the ocean as the sun meets it.
His eyes met mine and that's when I fell for him.
His eyes.

Lady in Red

Seeing her in red,
as if I had been blindfolded,
in the midst of people,
such beauty was never expected.

Gazing through her eyes,
and to realize the meaning of nice,
those bright glowing eyes,
were the stars in my eyes.

Her lips were such a temptation,
that had filled my mind with the word sensation.

A short-haired girl in red,
with stunning beauty.
