Fallen Soldier, laid to rest
Tried your hardest, gave your best
Lost it all far from home
Sleep in your coffin, all alone
Fallen tears and sobs of pain
Echo in the sunlit stand
Brother, Father, Son, and Friend
Now your duty at an end
Forgive us these tears we shed for you
Let your light guide us through
Pain and grief soon will fade
Peace and memory will then retain
And in your loss we find our cause
Bring our Soldiers home, no more lost
To their families and their friends
Worried vigil at an end
Path to healing just begun
Together stronger, we’ll not run
Honored Veteran, proud and wise
Big bright smile, haunted eyes
Watch the children,
Say something
I would have followed you
anywhere that you'd go
my heart was yours.
Say something
I can't just wait for you
it's been too long
I'm too tired.
I'm giving up on you
I waited too long
there's just nothing at all
and I feel so alone.
Can you say nothing at all?
I will swallow my pride
be the one if you want me to
anything to get through to you
You're the one that I love
don't make me say good-bye.
I've given my all, it's all I can do.
Say something, I'm giving up on you
anything, something to make me stay
to show your love
just anything at all.
Say something
just say something.
Drowning alone in front of the world
the water tearing at my heart and soul
dragging me into an abyss so dark
light dies before it shines.
Watch me drown and never know
standing beside me on dry land
unable to even offer a helping hand
there is no rescue from this
invisible ocean drowning me.
A simple smile upon my lips
no complaints or ranting trips
is all it takes to convince you all
there is no reason to care or call
instead you believe the unspoken lie
that nothing's wrong with me inside.
A mask that weeps silently
a hole where once a heart once stayed
dreams shattered like glass where they now lay
lonely nights of bloody dreams
nothin
broken mirror, shards like ice
reflecting back my broken life
I wonder how, I wonder why
what brought me to this place tonight?
a simple word, an errant fear?
perhaps the meaning is still unclear
i ask for guidance, i ask for rain
i ask for shelter from the pain
and wish i hard, wish i might
i know i get no answers tonight
let air around me flow like sand
wash away this crimson stand
broken paper will soon mend
lost time will no longer rend
and soon sweet solace shall depart
lost into this simple art
frozen soul of wanderer
close not your eyes
in peace adjurn.
Standing on the ledge
with a long way to tumble down
A long and painful path
just to stop and fall back down
A dozen choices before me
many I'll hate to make
but that's right,
I have no more time
Its time to walk the path
time to march familiar ground
hold on to hope
and plunge headlong into it all.
A war to fight, and era to change
people to teach, customs to breach
a million souls of turmoil and hate
to strike from existence, if they refuse to change
there's room no more for hate
no time for intolerance
no place for spite
the world will change
the way we live must too.

Picture Pierced Heart
Your picture pierced my heart today
I didn't see it coming
believing instead I was alright
accepting the things as they were.
Somethings can never be forgotten.
In an instant it all came back
your cheerful frozen smile
at odds with the pain I feel.
That colored waxy paper in sharp contrast
to the dreary reality.
Gone are you from my life
my heart still misses you each night
happy with another man you are
and so I'll keep my silence.
You deserve all you have
You deserve him.
Your picture pierced my heart tonight
but fear not, tis not a mortal wound.
Its over.
Watching you leave again,
I can't help but wonder
Why is it so hard
to watch you descend?
More and more I find myself
fading away, fading out of this life
caving into the pressures that fold on me.
You're shutting me out again,
what are you trying to save me from?
What can you keep me from by closing me out?
Are you hurting that much?
Further and further I go
down, deep inside of me
I can barely see who I used to be.
Are you trying to save me?
Are you hurting to help me?
Its over now, rest your head.
Its over now, heal your heart.
It kills me to know you were hurt so bad,
rest now, heal and live.
Its over for me,
so far inside mysel
Fallen apart like never before
unable to think, unable to feel
I lost the things that made me sane
and now I fear I'll never be again.
Words so sharp they cut to the bone
dreams so poisoned they rot your mind
my soul a rampart to unending pain
someone tell me when its done.
Lost and lonely, hurt and homely
someone gather me from the cold
take my heart and wrap it in ice
armor my soul and send me back out
forget the pain, forget yourself.
I'll never get it back
that paradise of forgotten lore
it fled down the path
of ever changing chore
Cleanse me of my sins
and right me of my wrongs
let me lay here silent
let my soul grieve in solace.

I don't know why I bother writing anything in here, its not like anyone reads it. I guess its good to vent though. Get it out there to see if it makes a difference in the long run. Again, doubt it will but here's to hoping.
I want off this rock. Full stop, I'm done. Punch the ticket and let me go. I'm sick of things always coming up to make my life shitty. And I mean like uber spectacularly shitty. Unemployed, no vehicle to find a job with since I literally live 20 mins from civilization. Yes I live with my dad at 27. Not proud of it, especially since I'm taking care of my daughter, or rather we're both living with him. I hate asking people
So my birthday was yesterday and an artist friend of mine gave me an awesome birthday present: free art in her amazing style! Check it out, she's really getting good

So its getting to be near my birthday again. For most people this is a happy time, one full of excitement and stuff. I guess. I never did understand why people got so excited for another year of life passing. I guess the problem starts with my birthday in general. A week before Memorial day. Shitty time to have a birthday, really. Everyone has plans to go out of town or open their pool, some reason why they can't be around. I used to try planning parties, but even then I think the most attendance I ever got was two people. Yep, more than a dozen invited and permission given to bring extras...and no one showed. Sometimes my own family has forg
