Loneliness tears at you,
Scrapes you inside out.
Broken, buried dreams
Cause you to scream and shout.

You cower down in fear,
Fear of what we've all become.
It seems you have accepted
That they've stepped on you and won.

But losing isn't the end,
You have to get up, move on.
You work to make things right,
Blistering from dusk til dawn.

I know defeat is hard,
But there's more than one war.
You have your greatest strength
In knowing what you're standing for.

Though they turned your heart to ruins,
You're still the bravest I can see.
It's those broken, scattered pieces,
From which we build our history.

Because you can make a future
From anything in sight.
Just a fragment of a thought
Can, in time, build up your life.

I believe in John Lennon because he told me all I need is love, & to me that seems pretty accurate.

Walls

Months have passed, Years even; I've lost all track of time. But the walls are up, And they won't come down, No matter how hard we try.

Steps

One step forward, You push me back. Two steps forward, You put weights on my mouth. Three steps forward, You give me a whack. Four steps forward, You yank me all the way back.

Silent Noise

The house is full but i feel so alone. This place no longer feels my home. Feeling like a stranger in my own life. Every Nasty comment cuts like a knife. Feeling so used for having a good heart.

It takes a whole lot of us to get ahead, to wake up everyday not thinking of the past, to realize that what we are doing is absolutely the right thing..

Life

When life was a heavy load. I laid it down on the ground. Took only what I needed. My sleep was finally sound. When I felt I was always giving. Never getting much in return.

Moving On

Moving on. Is never easy. Mental and physical pain. Overriding everything. Moving on. Is caused by enemies. Home and school. All around you. Moving on. Through black bruises.
