all hail the king

July 18, 2013

you think you're the only one who's hurting
why, are you the only one with a heart
well look around you sir, we're all here too
see that we're right in the same place you are
oh don't you think you're just so deserving
always cutting to the front of the line
but we're in need too, can't you see us here
no, you can't see anything with those eyes
blame without shame, everything is a game
it's not right if it doesn't go your way
you'll take what you want and then you just leave
you're searching for something you'll never find
you're a fool boy, always trying to hide
so you can fill this void you've created
you're pleasing your mind with nothing but lies
but you can't go on like this forever
you think you're the only one who's hurting
but you're not the only one with a heart
look around you, sir, we are all here too
we just refuse to give up the fight

Life is a story ,and it's just waiting to be shared. I love to write, whether it be amateur novels, poetry, songs, whatever. Not everyone likes what I write, but I don't care. It's more for me than anyone else. It's like therapy for me, like each problem floats away with every word. A lot of times my writings can be dark, but it's because I feel the most inspired when I'm going through an emotional time. Some of these poems I post here might be old from when I was younger, too. I used to struggle with depression and my anxiety real bad, and once in a while it comes back, but I think despite all my whining, I think I'm a pretty positive person with a big heart. Just sometimes, it's not so easy to communicate with people, which is where my writing comes in :)
