A place where no one likes to be

- by Joe Allen 59

There's a place where no one likes to be
So they save that little place for me
They shove me in and lock the door
They call me a dick, an ass, a man whore
They say shut up, they say fuck you
But none of them know what I'm going through
I've lost good friends. I've been a lost friend too
I've said I'll never love, and I've said I love you
Deep down I know I deserve all the bad
I just miss the life that I once had
I miss my family, I miss my friends
I'm part of a nightmare that never ends
People leave, and people die
But the nightmare continues when I open my eyes
Everything feels like it's falling apart
I've broken my family, my faith, and my heart
Every time I think life can't get worse
I watch another friend ride off in a hearse
I don't remember how to smile, or even have fun
It's true when they say only the good die young

This feeling of depression

- by Taylor H. 58

I have a pain so deep you'll never see
I locked it away and hid the key.
If I ever really could share it
You wouldn't look at me the same I swear it.
I've seen things I shouldn't have to see
But the only one who ever knew was me.
I faked a smile everyday
For I couldn't stand for you to see me this way
I buried my emotions deep inside my soul
It's this hate I have that keeps me whole
If I ever truly showed you what's inside
I'd run away fast and quickly hide
No matter where I go these feelings stay inside
All I want to do is close my eyes
It's like an eternal torture that never dies
These voices that fill my head
Telling me I'm way better off dead
This pain of living hurts my heart
Should I have ended it from the start?
It's like when I get home I take off a mask
Faking happiness is nearly an impossible task
But some how I manage to get by
Going through everyday about to cry
One day maybe it'll be okay
But of course that day is not today.
How much blood can I shed
Before I'm lying on the floor dead?
Will this pain ever go away?
Maybe tomorrow but not today.
