-She'll Always be a Cutter

I look into the mirror
And all I see
Is a fading impression of the girl I used to be
Every day I wake up
And put on a mask
To hide my pain from the world
No one knows how I feel
Or of all the things that I fear
A silent tear falls down my cheek
I quickly brush it away
Because no one must ever know
How I truly feel
I cover up the scars
No one ever asks
And when they do I simply lie
And then when no one is looking I begin to cry
Every day it's the same routine
I go to school, smile, and pretend
Then I come home and I'm finally alone
I'm finally able to take away the stress
Each cut tells a story
A story of a depressed girl
A girl with no father
And an alcoholic for a mother
And for that she'll always be a cutter

Photograph
by Alyson

Look at the girl
How she sits so still
Motionless in her depression
Not knowing her will

Silently watching
Eyes open wide
Never does she blink
So her feelings she doesn't hide

Shes looking through the glass
At the people that surround her
How they stare at her helplessly
Wishing she was there

But she just sits there silently
With the smile upon her face
To bad that its a mask
And she holds it firmly in place

That was in the past
As the scene sadly shows
In the photograph she will sit forever
With the sadness nobody knows

even though i'll be dead there is no regret...

Another quiet day.....
with the rain pouring from the sky..
i gaze outside my window
thinking about you as i slowly lay

juz looking into your eyes
i was left in silence
girl,maybe you might not know
in this heart, love lies

i love the way you share your feeling and dream....
about life and this gorgeous world
fulfilling your hope and pray
was the only unspoken word....

you say you want to be free
just as the butterfly....
mingle with roses feature
how wonderful god's creature

living in the mountain high
every tears and laugh
shaded by the cup of wine
together with you , my life will shine

watching the morning sun,and feel the breeze of the air
juz to be with you, sharing my way of life
even though i'll be dead
i shall got no regret

One Mistake
by Lexie

You thought you had it all,
Had your life all planned out.
Everything was going exactly perfect.
Thought you were doing everything right

But one day, you realize,
You really screwed up somehow.
Your perfect plan had a flaw.
Now what do you do?
You didn't have a second plan.

You had to tell your boyfriend.
Find a way to tell your parents.
Make doctors appointments.
All so much to do because,
Of one little mistake

You hadn't planned a baby,
Especially at the age of 18.
You had plans to go to college.
Then raise a family.
Your parents are going to be upset.

What are you going to do?
How can you afford this?
Will he still love you?
All this because one mistake!

You are my dirty little secret
You are the dirty secret reason I sneak away on a night out with the girls, only to return an hour later and grin the rest of the night.

You are the dirty secret reason I wake up in a hot sweat having dreamt of you yet again.
You are the dirty secret reason I get all hot and moist when im out with the guys, because my dirty secret is within touching distance!

My dirty little secret you make me burn hotter than fire and excite me more than love.

My dirty secret the thought of you distracts me from the simple everyday tasks.

My dirty secret you make me sweat more than the steamiest shower, and wetter than anyone's ever made me

You are my dirty little secret and I yearn for hour after hour

It gnaws at you from inside
And never lets you go
But what it is that makes you cry
Only you can know

It started at a sleep over
As innocent as can be
You talked about hair and boys
You could relax, just be care free

Until you were on your own
As the others asleep they fell
Exept for one other girl
Who you didn't know very well

Naturally you both started talking
As any two girls would do
The problem came soon after
When she stared to confide in you

She started to talk about her dad
Who sometimes beat her black and blue
But worst of all, on Friday nights
In her room he did other things too

She showed you all the scars
That covered her legs, and ran up her arms
And told you her dad cut her
When he got back from his pub. 'The Irish Charm'

And though you tried hard not to listen
You were as scared as if on death row
You listened in horrid fascination
To things you shouldn't have to know

She made you promise not to tell
She said if you did she'd die
And that's why every Friday night
You always start to cry

It gnaws at you from inside
And never lets you go
But what it is that makes you cry
Only you can know

Secret Illness
by Dean Rands

I'm not nothing yet I feel empty
I feel weak, scared and alone
Confusion plays in my mind
And shakes me from flesh to bone

I long to cry but I won't stop
So much pain is in my heart
But I won't tell, I never will
It's been a secret from the start

Help is something that I must get
Yet something strong holds me back
But somehow I'll find the hope
To give me strength of which I lack

The road has been long and hard
But now someone else knows
Its not so bad and I'll soon be cured
Because with each day my hope grows

I found a friend who is by my side
To help me move on and get advice
I have hope that all will be fine
And now I can rest with dreams that are nice

I Am Truly Sorry For Not Judging Yesterday As Was Planned. I Was Very Busy Planning For The Mardi Gras Celebration That Was Held Today.
Please Accept My Deepest Apologies.
