Cry, cry, that's all I fucking do.
Why is my heart filled with pain?
Why is my head filled with doubt?
How come when I hit my low points I just want to die?
I know I'm worthless, I always have been.
I'm tired of being strong.
I'm tired of being the one who cares.
I know how weak I truly am.
I'm tired of hiding it.
I need to change.
But where do I start?
I don't know how to forgive...
The ones who've hurt me, scared me, changed me.
I don't mean to be a screw up.
I just am...
I know I'm defective.
I know I'm stupid.
Stop pretending like you give a Damn!
It's impossible for me to be like you.
Always so optimistic and happy go lucky.
I
Have you ever been to the edge?
It's such an indescribable feeling.
The brink of death.
So much I still don't understand.
I wasn't trying this time, but I want to know.
The uncertainty drives me insane.
The never ending urge to know.
Endlessly knawing at my mind.
I NEED TO KNOW!
What's on the other side?
What keeps me here?
How am I conscious?
Why am I conscious?
I just want to scream.
A crash that should have killed me.
But I walk away without a scratch.
Why? Why does death keep taunting me!?
It hurts...I can't comprehend my existence.
Always gotta know.
Everything needs an answer.
What keeps me here?
What am I supposed to do?
Why doe
What will become of me as my sanity slowly dwindles?
Slowly the darkness gnawing and slashing its way to the surface.
Using my pain and stress as fuel.
I feel it, one day I'm going to snap.
I can feel it inside me, screaming.
FUCK IT!
FUCK THEM ALL!
THEY'RE OF SHIT!
I barely remember a day when I didn't have the urge to destroy something in frustration.
My restraint fading, being blunt you call it.
Personally I no longer care how you rationalize it.
I'll burn every last fucking bridge, I don't care.
You see what I'm becoming?
A psychopath.
Lock me up.
Fit me for a straight jacket.
Forget about me.
Kill
I don't fear death
But I don't want to die now
Finally my life is going well
But my mind is decaying
I'm becoming decrepit
But still I fight my insanity
I want to be alone
But I want her company
I want to see them again
But their gone
I want to show them I'm not a fuck up
But deep down inside I still feel like one
I throw on a smile to show them I'm okay
But I'm dying on the inside
They see so much strength
But I can only see weakness
I put on this mask of intimidation to hide my tears
But I'm still a scared child
I pretend like it never mattered
But I'll never get over losing them
Hoping death connects us again
But I can't lose the connectio
"Never meet your idols you'll only end up disappointed."
I didn't just get to meet mine, I got to live with mine.
I got to slowly come to hate my idol.
In only two years the man I strived to be all my life became the person I distain most.
I let myself be mentally and physically abused because I thought he was right and I wanted to please him.
After each argument I'd seek to repair the damage and act the way he told me I should.
I finally realized that I no longer want to be like him, a lonely alcoholic wallowing in self pity.
Too much pride to admit he is depressed or has a problem.
I no longer value his opinion in any way, shape, or form.
One simple request that has been asked multiple times. "Please treat my equipment with respect." Every time I ask it's met with conflict. Why is it so much to that you don'thaphazardly move or place random shit on my percussion equipment? But every time I say something it ends in you screaming in my face. 2 years I've periodically dealt with everything being my fault. How much longer am I passively deal with it? Why is it when you're angry, frustrated, or even mildly upset with anything butit's justified and when I am not perfectly okay I'm being ridiculous?All you do is drink and play league baseball of legends. Meanwhile I'mpracticing, cle
Born in a roaring blaze
Chaos, full of energy, embracing light
Growing, dancing, breathing
Life from a simple spark
Born from nothing
Destined to return to nothing
Deminishing, full of so much potential
Halted momentum
Slowly fading
Stoke the coals
Rekindle a fraction of what used to be
A small burst of energy
The last hoora
Falling again, accepting what's soon to come
A painful truth
As the fire's breathes begin to diminish
The darkness begins creeping in again
A heartbeat, slowly dying
The last bit of life begins to fade
Another perception lost to us all
A lost demon wondering
scared of his own shadow
He hides himself to blend in
it doesn't work, his scales still reveal who...what he is
Beaten down and abused constantly
One day it was too much...he reverted
Only to protect himself
After he fought of those who attacked him...he collapsed
He tried to stay strong knowing he was in defense
But in the end all he could do was cry
He couldn't forgive himself for hurting someone
Although no one messed messed with the lonely demon after that...
He was no longer something to be hated
He was now something to be feared.
Fear and jealousy can be a terrible thing
If you let it consume you that is
We all have our fears and doubts
But I'm convinced we can be better than that
Even when we are hurt
Lose our way
And forget our trust in others
The part of us that wants to trust remains
It takes some time searching
But there is someone out there
Someone who will open your eyes again
And help you love again
My eyes have been opened
And my mind cleared
I've found the other piece
The piece that has made me whole
Cry, cry, that's all I fucking do.
Why is my heart filled with pain?

The piece that has made me whole
The problem, the freak, the outsider
What's wrong with you?
You're nothing but a nuisance
How dare you show your face?
A broken soul looking for acceptance
Reaching out again and again
Each time hate is the response
Maybe there's something wrong with me
Taking to solitude
The only safe place
Watching over my own
Like the lonely scarecrow guarding his field
Crows perch for a short time
The presence of something close to a friend
A slight glimmer of hope
Gone soon after I show them my heart
As the last bit of light started to fade
Someone came
A heart just as damaged
...and stayed
The scarecrow
A symbol of repulsion and fear

I am a percussionist at William Patterson University and have had a strong love for music since I was a child. Even though I'm all about hitting things with sticks I do sing and write on the side.

Perfecting perception in my own reflection
Scripting his hollow dignity
You sold away your name
And who will break your fall
After you've used them all
After you hit the wall
