Stronger than our scars
I wrote this Poem for those
in the dark feeling
cold and alone
This Is Dark and Cold:
Underneath my sheets I cry myself to sleep
I think how can a human like me feel any less than a human like you
Swollen eyes, messy hair, baggy clothes, I don't care
whispers come
shouting at me
The words of positivity, I use to have
Replced
With negativity
THAT'S MY LIFE NOW
Careless and reckless the marijuana helps it
Dark and cold
My hands they tremble, they shake oh how they ache
from the pressure of the pain
That's my life now
Alcohol becomes my friend
My vision consumed by the trend
Dark and cold
so alone
not just in my head
so I beg
I pray
Asking for help in all the wrong ways
These faces just don't get it
Dark and cold
This night turns darker than the blackest of colors\
no where to go
no one that understands this
Not a clue on how to get through
so I close my eyes
I listen to the life that is left
DARK AND COLD
and I lie there in my sorrows
when can it stop
when can I breathe
my mind is racing
my heart is not chasing anything, anymore
my mind sees one way out
I have cried it all out
DARK AND COLD!
I've had ENOUGH!
They stare
they said they care
they pretend to know what it is like
when reality comes forth they all just hide
to overcome this? To stay strong?
You think if I were strong I would even be here?
Go to hell! I say.
I won't give up
DARK AND COLD
I won't back down
I am not alone
I will stand for those in the shadows!
DARK AND COLD
I WILL STAND FOR THOSE WITH SCARS BOTH OLD AND NEW
I WILL STAND FOR THOSE ALREADY IN THE GROUND
And together we will all end living in hell
We will teach others to live this life with the love we've longed for,
WE
WILL
RISE
STRONGER
THAN
OUR
SCARS.
