Unnoticed
by Alyson

Crimson tears fall from my veins
Specked with my many pains
As they fall my sorrows fade
Then I thank my blade

100 thousand drops have fallen
From my weakening arms
100 thousand tears have fallen
After each self-inflicted harm

Too many tears have fallen
From my dark blue eyes
I've screamed so many times
Yet no one hears my cries

I've been abandoned
Alone on this hell called earth
So many people have passed by
Not seeing my worth

But I will make them see
As the tears fall to the ground
That something good is gone
And will never come back around

As my body fails to move
And my eyes fail to close
They still don't notice the person
That was right in front of there nose

"Just a little blood"
by Line

She sits and thinks about the meaning of life,
She can't even feel her wrist touching the knife.
"Just a little blood" she thinks in her mind,
As the blood poars, pain and tears are combined.
"This pain is better than any other pain",
she says to herself when it shoots through every vein.
She grabbes a towel and puts it over the voom,
This is her end, this is her doom.
Her sight is weakened, she going blind,
As she thinks to herself, she doesn't really mind.
Her death is unimportant, no one will care,
"They won't even notice, I was never even there",
A wet and shiny tear falls down her cheek,
As everything goes black, some words she tries to speak.
She forces the words forward as her final last breath,
"Just a little blood" she says, "will lead to my death"

Reality???

The sky is clear and baby blue,
But I see it cloudy and gray.
The flowers are blooming all around me,
But I see dead and shrived bits of what used to be a rose.
The radio plays an upbeat love song
But I hear pain and suffering.
The air is warm as I sweat,
But I feel icy as I shiver.
He had a sweet taste I love,
But I taste only bitterness.
Pleasing perfume fills the room,
But I smell destructing fire.
She smiles at me,
But I can only understand the sobs.
The world is fine, nothing is wrong,
But my mind depresses me.

S.O.S

Im saying that im scared
im saying someone help me
im saying i cant cope
but no one understands

i cry myself to sleep
i miss you all so bad
I want to tell somebody
but no one understands

i need a helicopter
or a rescue plane
to fly in here and save me
but no one understands

i want someone to love me
to put their arm around me
to say that it'll be okay,
but no one understands.

i dont know how to tell them
why should i try at all
its best to keep it hidden
because noone understands.

These Words

I am an illusionist spinning
Another web of deception.
This smile forced on my lips
Leaves behind a bloody kiss.
I know that I could return to
My normal self if I knew who I was.

These words are all that
I have when my charm fails.
Another syllable burned on my
Tongue when I lose my faith.
Broken thoughts that trail
From my fingertips when I write.

A magician never tells her
Secrets when she performs.
I keep my secrets tucked down
Inside until I feel myself drown.
All that I am is a facade sitting
There in front of you made of stone.

Stone that breaks when you
Come too close. I shatter.
Nobody comes to rescue me
When I dissolve into dust.
Just another tear that trickles
Down an innocent face.

By the River
by Hallucinostic

We all walk along the road which leads to understanding so many things,
Strode a long, cold, lonely journey to a colored land where dreams never lie,
We've all been stranded by the river,
While searching for the answer,
Restless by river,
Of hope.

We've been waiting for that someday, the chance of a break that'll make it alright,
Most of us expect it, but some days never ever come around.
We are stranded by the river,
Begging for the answer,
Wading by the river,
Of hope.

We all climb different slopes as our spirit tries to cope through the tide,
Armed with only mighty faith in a struggle with hate that lasts a lifetime.
We keep on flowing like the river,
Wondering,"Is there any answer?"
Pessimistic, lonely drifters,
Optimistic for an answer,
Drinking from the river,
Till we drown.

MY INTERNAL GRIEF...

In this dark whole world I find myself alone,
all have departed me and everyone is gone.

I wonder if one could wipe my tears,
and my silent scream anyone can hear.

Eyes have gone wet and lips have gone dried,
neither anyone understands me nor anyone tried.

I m crawling in the darkness looking for a beam of light,
but I realized my life has no day and it has become an endless night.

I am living the countable moments
just because god has granted those,
otherwise I have no urge to live
without someone loving and close.

Now a piece of hard heart resides in me full of grief and pain,
instead of blood, my tears are running through my vein.

I have end up my journey called life,
as I have no reason to live and no reason to smile.

I bid goodbye to all who are far from me as no one is near,
they don't love me now, so don't wish to be remembered when I am not here....

Silent memories
by Tabby

(to those memories people keep silent we all have them)

Forgetting all those silent memories
That haunt the soul and mind
That corrupt the happy thoughts
Which are usually so hard to find

Trying to keep them silent
Hoping they'll get lost
But sometimes their stronger
And happiness is all it costs

For memories you don't want
Such sacrifice you pay
To not feel that painful memory
You just want to go away

It seeps into your life unannounced
Like some kind of disease
As it eats away the happiness
That once used to ease

all the pain you have suffered
And the darkness that you see
all the loss of your happiness
is all caused by those silent memories

These are all so great so far, Keep `em coming =]

The Tears Of Broken Souls

By, Sole

I see the pouring rain
Another poor soul cries
And I wallow in their pain
I see throught their eyes

I see a darkened room
Blurred through countless tears
I see impending doom
And infinite fears

I see a secret, untold
And a whip with which to hurt
I feel the frost cold
The boot that kicks into the dirt

I see the pouring rain
Another poor soul cries
And I wallow in their pain
I see throught their eyes

I see a child lay
In the arms of Hate
Abused in every way
And sacrificed to fate

I see a silver blade
Edged with crimson red
I see a life fade
I see a child, dead

I see the pouring rain
Another poor soul cries
And I wallow in their pain
I see throught their eyes

I see a troubled man
Ancient, in despair
No-one to hold his hand
In old-age no-one's there

I see a womans life
Stood out, in the yard
A man who beats his wife
Another person scarred

I see the pouring rain
Another poor soul cries
And I wallow in their pain
I see throught their eyes

As the rain continues down
I see we have to change our goals
Or everyone will drown
In the tears of broken souls.

Peace. [Sole]

broken

your words slice through me
sharp as a knife
my blissful happiness is gone
because of this strife
each day is the same
you break me, then put me back together
i'll go in my room to hide
when i come out, you act like you don't remember
you don't see how hurt i am
even though it's so clear
and no matter how many times i cry
you don't see a single tear
you don't understand how much pain you cause me
you'll never understand my sorrow
you don't know how many times i pray
that it'll be better tomorrow
but it'll never be better
for when i think there's finally peace
it's all torn away
it comes to a cease
i end up broken
just like before
all the suffering i've gone through
i'll go through once more
i wish you'd stop this yelling
it makes me feel like such a failure
you don't realize what you're doing
my life is becoming my nightmare
my memories are haunting me
i'm restless every night
i cannot fall asleep
all i can do is cry
the next day you come up to me
you put me together again
then you say you're sorry
and you think you've been forgiven
but there's something different now
something is not right
for a piece of me is missing
one that's beyond your sight
i feel like all my true happiness is gone
i'm in this deep depression
but nobody will ever know this
for i'm lying and pretending
i'll never show how i really feel
unless you're someone i trust
you'll never see a single tear shed
in public my pain turns to dust
but no matter what i lead you to believe
inside i am crying silently
for i know if things keep going this way
my nightmare will become my reality

dreaming

She perches on a bridge arms stretched high
Ignoring the murmurings of passers by
She leaps into space as if she can fly
And she falls

She dives down deep into the blue sea
She swims deeper though burning her lungs may be
Down and down she swims, gliding smooth and free
And she drowns

She lights a burning pyre, and the flames touch the sky
She watches the smoke spiralling on high
She steps up onto the fuel, brittle and dry
And she burns

She murmurs and rustles in her heavy sleep
A scarred arm slides out under the white sheet
In her mind are sky, flames and waters deep
And she dreams

Bullet

He seems so unhappy
Something is on his mind
His life so miserable
Since the beginning of time

The world passes by hastily
Leaving him with father time
He's trying to catch up
Lest he fails and dies

He looks at me with such distance
Death is in his eyes
The life he once knew
Has met its demise

Sadness has become the home
His shelter from misery
His soul hidden from the world
Kept secret from all who seek to see

I have found his happiness
I can help his sorrow come to an end
It all begins with this gun
And ends with a bullet through my head

A cry from the invisible...
by Latasha

The silence echos through the room
As the girl cries to be heard,
Everyone is there,
But no one hears her lonely tears.

She hides her fears behind her books,
Her voice has gone faint,
No one listens to a word she says,
She is just another person they ignore.

Her shadow can't be seen,
She is nearly invisible,
As people forget her name,
She is just another cry for help.

In everyones eyes she lives the perfect life,
She gets top marks at school,
And beautiful to the common man,
But behind the bars at school she is just a lonely soul.

Her life is nearly done,
She wants it to be over,
Tears fall down her cheeks,
As she lives another day.

Today her life changed,
She filled the tub to the top,
And slipped her naked body in the water,
She quivered from the coldness.

Her hand lifted to reach a blade,
As she rubbed it across her wrist,
Her blood turned the water red,
As her body turned breathless.

Two hours later her mother rushed in,
Only to find her daughters lips blue,
And her eyes frozen in fear,
With her body painted in red.

Three days later a note was found,
Reading "Everyone I am sorry,
I love you all dearly,
But this is how it had to be,
I was only a lonely soul waiting to explode,
And tonight I my heart exploded,
And I'm left with no more pain."

"You Made Cry Again Today"

You made me cry again today
You don't even think about the words you say
The things you done can not be forgiven
Sometimes I wonder if this is the way it has to be, Why go on living?
My friends are all gone now, I have no one
Sometimes, I feel that you think this is a game that you have won
I am sick and tired of being put down
Why can't you ever make me smile instead of frown?

©Tisha

Wake up.

"So when are you gonna wake up?
And realize that you're living a lie
Your life isn't picture perfect
So why do you even try?"

This is what her conscious is telling her
She needs to listen in order to learn
But its become a daily process
And there's no place to turn.

She doesn't want to be a fake
Someone who covers her tears
With her pretty broke smile
She's hidden all of her fears

She know she's unhappy
And it's not a weird chemical mixture
Its not something you can fix
When you're like a broken picture.

"If I can be strong for my friends
Without any showing any exposure
Just maybe finally one day
I can let go of my composure"

Oh the lies she told herself
Just to soothe her shattered soul
She just couldn't face reality
She couldn't take control

She knows she has a problem
But who could she confide in?
Not her mother or best friend
She knew she couldn't win?

She couldn't turn to anyone
She was in this all alone
She couldn't take the pain
Her heart had turn to stone

She had nothing to depend on
Gave up on her hopes and dreams
She just couldn't control her life
She couldnt stop those silent screams

--emotionless.19*

A Childs Pain...

He wakes up thinking maybe today
will be the day everything will be alright
but soon he'll realize he'll be
crying those lonely tears tonight

As screams ring in his ears
and cuts run down his arms
he tries to be ok
trying to act like he doesnt know about lifes harms

only a boy of 5 years old
should never know this pain
but he does
as pain shoots threw every vein

Never knowing any different
from fights and tears
never knowing what its like
to live without all these fears

all he hears is "your not good enough"
and "why are you here"
those are the times he prays
he could just disappear

One last hit
thats all he could take
He'd be doing them a favor
he was just a mistake

Thats the night
that god took him for his own
He'd never feel anymore pain
He'd always be with him sitting beside the golden throne..
