ALL MY FRIENDS ARE ANOREXIC By Autumn Rae Carter
All my friends are anorexic Their home lives are hectic
They seem so perfect But, they have a hidden defect that only i can detect
She hides inside her skinny body, her cell her life, her own personal hell
they seem so cool im the only one they do not fool
she cakes makeup upon her face she screams at her mom to get off her case
their cell phones are glued to their ear but, they still cannot hear for words of others they fear

WHAT AM I? Casey Hall
Remember those old books asking "what am I?" I would love to be able to ask that question. But why can't I? I can not say I love you I can not let it be true. What am I for hating y-o-u?

The trees sway in the mid morning breeze As the sun soars over the trees. As the little girl opens her eyes Only to find a big surprise Right through from morning until nite The girl will always have a smile of delight For this is the day of age and been bright As it is her first birthday with more hugs than nights

Sitting in Sadness Corry
When the weight of my burdens gets too heavy, I look to find someone to help me. I find that person and it works for awhile. However in time, they decide not to walk Not to handle them another mile
I need help that I can not find, so I try to hide from my troubles. As much as I try , they always find me and by then they have double or triple therefore I will never break free.
Throughout my words the pain is heard, even if nothing is said the sound of this pain Has an everlasting effect and wakens the dead.
Once I find the end of my troubles, I should hopefully see My happiness and my gladness, find peace and live again But for now, I sit in my sadness -0-
A cloud
anna
A cloud that floats above my head,
The cloud is nor alive, nor dead.
What one can see but one cant touch,
There is nothing as such.

It's not the things you do, it's the things you left undone. You left my heart empty when you were my only one. You cured the nightmares that kept me from sleep. And filled the space that lied so deep. I knew how you felt though the words you never said. I guess that's where i made my mistake because everything about you turned out to be fake.

You walked me home through the pouring rain You helped guide me through many types of pain You were always there through thick and thin No matter what you were my best friend
I cant believe that once I thought you were the cause of most my pains Now I know its just that I didn't want to take the blame.

The Sound Of Silence By Misty Lee
I hear your Whisper I hear your call I hear your heartbeat But I hear nothing at all
All I hear is silence No word at all I wonder what's happening And you won't even call
I lie awake And wonder why? All i hear is one little sigh.
I pray and pray For just one call But guess what? I hear nothing at all.

where did i go wrong? feby
I stared at your eyes, once more, i didn 't found the love,i saw before, you promised to stay beside me, whenever i 'll need you, then where are you right now?, when i really want you, why are things never the same?, where did i go wrong?
when i look back at our past, i found not love,but screams of pain which is still roaring in my ears i 'm feeling empty inside, from the thought of being alone i want to know the reason why did it had to end this way? where did i go wrong?
all the time, i believed that, you were the one i was looking for, you were the one i could depend upon, maybe, because i thought i loved you you left with a huge hole in my heart a hole which is never going to mend why can 't you always be mine?, where did i go wrong?
if we are not meant for each other, then why did destiny drew us together i used to be so close to you, but now we are miles apart our so-called love is fading away, and there is nothing i can do why are you not here to love me?, where did i go wrong?
tell me why? just tell me, where did i go wrong?

BLACK CLOUDS ABOVE ME! By Rosalie H.
I feel as though, there is a cloud, Loitering above me. I feel worthless, I feel empty, I feel lonely.. and angry. I feel like a nobody! ..Maybe because I am a nobody, A worthless existence! A person no one notices, No one cares about. A person who doesn't belong. If only someone noticed The hurt and pain I hold, Maybe if someone asked me I might open up, and be ok. ...But no one has. So here I am..stuck with this black cloud Loitering above me!

Waves
Rhianna
The gentle foaming backwash,
The roaring angry breaker,
The power that the waves control,
Could not be any greater,
The size of the waves may be scary,
And the sizes will always vary.

Have you ever looked in the Mirror and seen the real you not the one that is dressed to show but the face sealed below the face that shows all the scars unseen the one that tells the tales on told A vision of you now do you remember the real you or has that face faded away like all things do but if that face faded away how do you know that the face you see is really you or does the real you become the one dressed to show so now i ask have you ever looked in the mirror and seen the real you

Friendships
Kara Martin
Friendship is as pure as the brightest shining star,
It may seem to fade away at times,
But it's still there trying to stand out among the millions of others.

UNSURE by Janet Denise Thurston
I pull up to the light beside you our eyes meet our souls connect respectfully we drive to our destinations but our hearts start investigations could he be the one could she be the one It is possible that love has begun should we stop and pull over or brush our shoulders from the doubt we feel time heals and reveals what is true what do we do?

Tangled emotions Emily Schembri
I listen to music, To love life. I listen to music, To understand life. I listen to music, To know what to feel. I listen to music, To know HOW to feel.

Just Another Man Harley Kenna
My soul is abandoned my mind is awash my brain is decaying and my heart turned black
Like an open book with no one to read like an extinct species With no one to breed
I'm one of a kind and all on my own born of the night and destined to die alone
The end is close i'm overflowing with fear but nobody cares they wouldn't even shed a tear

Life is it yours or mine? Is it dead or alive? Do you know your future or so you not, Have you forgotten? Or have you thought? Did you think about yourself? Or about others? Have you thought about living or death? Have thought of a good path Have thought about yourself or not? Have you thought about what you’ve done? Did you have fun? I ought to ask myself those questions every night If or not he moon shines bright My life will continue Day and night In darkness or light Whatever happens I will ask Myself the question Is it dead or alive? Is life yours or mine?

I'm a bird with no wings
I'm a bird with fear of height
I'm a bird with a death wish
I'm a bird that prays for laughter but it always ends in tears
I'm the bird that ask for family but they always dye
I'm the bird that loves but never loved
I'm a bird with a broken spirit
I'm a bird with an expose soul
I'm a bird that will never move
I'm a bird with a broken wings

Sadness is waking up every morning mad that you didn't pass in your sleep. Sadness is that fear that someone can see thru your fake smiles and laughs. Sadness is being envious when you see sincere happiness. Sadness is when your feeling guilt that never seems to go away. Sadness is feeling like you'll never amount to anything. Sadness is escapable thru Jesus.

The world awaits us, as we are shown on stage, to perform our deeds. And as we slip into the unknowing of the abyss, we slowly disintegrate. As we bare our skin to reveal the soul, the mirror appears. We try not to look, as we stand naked between the edges of swords.
The swords slash hard, we cannot even stand. But just as the eye catches the vein of life, the blood starts flowing. With a sheer might, the hand reaches out to the pool and pulls hard. The devil emerges with two faces and spoke in two tones.
They said the same thing, “Deep in the abyss lies you, the time has come.” The ground turns into glass, the darkness swallowing the surrounding. The devil turns his face, and the mirror emerges, and the hideous shows. Silence consumed the last light, closing the gap between the lines.
We reach into the darkness while the swords slice into the flesh. The quietness deafened the shouts and screams, as we slowly tear into pieces. Blood turns into water, and the droplets explode into the air. “May the last of you walk over the river of suffering…”

LOVE Cheyenne DeLeiuen
Do you realize how much I cared for you, I really did, now I cut myself, to see the blood, to feel the pain, to express the anger, the only way i can.
You don't care for me, you never did, as long as you care for yourself, who cares about anyone else.
I feel like shit, you still don't care, you made me feel my best, you made me feel invincible.
I feel as if I shouldn't even bother, to be me, to be here, because you still don't care.
I thought I loved you, I surely was wrong, I wished I never loved you, you just keep breaking my heart...

I am the emptiness within you I am the voices in your head I am the air you breath I am the monster underneath your bed I am the sickness that you've dreaded
I am weakness I am strength
I am the blood within your veins
I am the root of all your pain
I am hope and I am disappointment kneeling at your door
Cant you feel me underneath your skin?
I am anger I am joy
I am danger I am safety
I am good and I am evil
I AM YOU! Rachel H.

THE LONELY BIRDS SONG BY EMMA
Where has everyone gone? All I can hear is the lonely birds song. Not even the sound of the calm breeze, No laughter, talk, giggle or sneeze. No whisper, nor shout, There’s no-one about. No adult or child, No noise from the wild. There’s no-one around, what is going on? Only the sound of the lonely birds song. It’s quiet and calm, Not a soul to be harmed. No creature big or small, In insect or animal. Its getting late and still no-one to be seen, It seems everyone has come and been. There is no noise of right or wrong, Just the sound of the lonely birds song.

A new day dawning, prayers for a hopeful light, Yet nothing remains but fear and hopeless fright I wish I could explain the feelings held within, yet the only words I know translate into sin, No matter where I go nor the troubles that have become my strife will I ever be able to clearly state what guides me through this life. Yet hold on too: I may, I will, I might. That the dreams I hold dear will come true this blissful night.

STARING ALONE IN THE MIRROR... MANISHA
Looking for someone who looks at you, But you are lost wasting your time staring at yourself in the mirror.
Waiting to share a meal with someone , and order wine for two; Would like to shop for clothes so you can impress the one who gave you his card.
But you are lost staring at yourself in the mirror. ALONE.

DIRT MERCHANT Ian Sturgill
This is Mine! I remain, In this I reign! This is Mine Under soot, I remain; Dirt is here... This is mine. What is here I can touch, Wearing this; This is Mine. What I know, You can't know. You won't touch. This is Mine! I have found, Made this clean. Made it Mine. This is Mine. What you need, I have not; I have only... What is mine. This is Mine and Never yours; Never once, Never learn, Never feel, You cannot, I will not...
Back Away.
THIS IS MINE.

Now your caught in god wrath Grabbed the wrong path Doing the devils deeds Trying to ignore these pleads Seeing the torture through our enemies eyes Hearing the pain of innocent cries You took the bull buy the horns But didn’t expect to get burns Don’t play with the fire Or give in to desire Or you will be the unwanted, the forgotten, and hunted

The Chore in My Shore
Gary Schafer, Jr.
It seems like the same old thing every day When all goes wrong in every single way Show no emotion because that’s the end of you All will be visible and people peer right through There’s a better way for this…this I’m sure But it’s not an easy fix or an instant cure Grin and bare it, is it…fruitless yet economical Saving the sanity is key, but quite astronomical In this day and age when all is so fast paced Leaves me much wanting a kick in the face These words pulse with frustrating fingers Read between the lines where the feeling lingers No demands of sort to any, neither woman nor man Just some appreciation for doing the best I can
