My brain is something to be feared.
Everything that comes from it is quite simply weird.
There are two voices in my head.
One good;one bad which once said:
"Kill yourself
you have nothing else
Kill yourself."
To which the good replied with a verse swift.
"Don't give up life is worth it.
Thank God for your life don't curse it."
I find myself listening to the sweet voice of life,
while buried knee deep in strife.
For now I shall cope with these matters,
While I sit pray and hope for the better.
I hear the rain hit my window
It's so sad yet peaceful
It's not bad but calming
The drops falling
The drops forming together
Reach a boundary then disband forever
Let go and set free for a moment
Dying to be without obstacles
Trying to justify their reason
Not fully realizing the truth
Just misguided from youth
When I talk very few hear
Wher I walk very few come near
My loved ones don't acknowledge me
I wonder if they can even see me
I don't get hungry I don't get thirsty
I always seem to get to places first
I wonder if I'm under some curse
My confusion continues to get worse
All I do is wander around here
Then I become filled with fear
I see my body near
I don't even shed a tear
I start to feel weird
I unexpectantly see the light pierce the dark
No more worry is in my heart
I walk to the light throught the door
I don't know the reason for it
I feel it best to explore
As I go through I feel and know I'm at peace
There's nothing I
Alone
I have no one to love
No one to hug
All this pain but no drug can numb it
My soul is empty nothing comes from it
I'm done with all these emotions flowing open
No hope then for me
I can see no outlet that can salvage these pieces
I'm speechless
I seek death, I'm weak
I keep this a secret from each one who seeded
This desire is feeded by the despair
I'm aware it's tearing me apart
I feel no one cares that I'm stuck in the dark
This pain has been marked on my heart
That I feel it will spark the end of me
No words could bring me home
This feeling has been sown inside
I'm alone tonight
Within
So many decisions but none of them right
Though I just can't give up without a fight
I just don't know what to do about this
No words come from my mouth
I can't talk without being filled with doubt
I can't say these feelings out loud
These thoughts go without a sound
Just lost ... never found
Everything comes at a cost, I'm not sure why
My soul is filled with chaos...darkness and light
Trapped Alone
Locked up in this place
Apparently to keep others safe
Put here since birth, though I'm still plotting my escape
All these things I'm still trying to make sense of
Because all my friends are let out
Why can't I walk about the outside
I wont cry because that's not me
It's only us three
Why do they get to see the light?
I fight and fight dor my freedom but the lock won't break
The things I cause will be taken for granted
Everything becomes stranded in here
Only because I landed the title of stranger, who's feared
I'm anger that's here
The Sleeping Guards
Their lives have been seized
And now they guard the trees
They have sacrificed their life
To protect us from the thieves
Even though they're gone
You can still softly hear
The beating of their hearts
Of love without fear
Almost
So close and so far
Not fixed though not scarred
All I'm hoping for is luck
Then maybe just maybe I won't be stuck
I'm reluctant to give up
I'm not going to live through this
To break free is my wish
I wake to be
I take the chances around me
I'm finally getting somewher
My destination, I'm almost there

Thoughts
I walk through every path
Every future every past moment
Speculating what each word meant
Figuring out what I was sent here to do
Regretting every second that I lose
Spending my time on this
My final wish is to be free
To witness peace in my soul
To satisfy this need is my goal
As I lie in this grief and cold
I hold hopes in my skull
By: John Castenell
Overcome
My loss of grief has permitted me to start connecting
With so many people
But this poison will continue infecting me without end
Testing me over and over again
I fear that without my friends I will be overtaken
It's been dormant inside my mind
Waiting for the opportune time to reawaken
I thought I was finally cured when I became happy.
I did not forsee it regaining control over
My whole body and soul.
This grief has taken its toll on me
It seeps into my very essence
Like the darkness surrounding the cresent moon at night
I don't have full control for my light is fading
I can no longer fight without the light of others.
