Favorite Quote:
in order to fix one thing, another must be broken


Every time I wake
I put my life at stake
kept my pain away
locked up in black and gray
stare into the light
with these eyes of white
looking down into the tunnel
to find a life I want so subtle
now, pardon me while I break
to keep this life I have at stake
I wanted to tie the noose up
and hang me by the thread
to numb the pain from the things you've said
my wrist they're acheing
my hands are shaking
this pain I make
puts my life at stake
but here I am
born again
lost among forgotten friends
lost among my place
within this dreadful empty age

i wrote this poem for teens like myself. everyday people try to put others down and hurt them. Sometimes we can't stand it, and this poem is the voice of it.
