Heya!

I've had a bit of a blog craze lately… Felt like posting a blog and couldn't think what the hell to write about. Then I realised I had some old poetry I wrote that I haven't seen in ages… So with your permission (or without) I've submitted some of my favourite poetry.

Strive

::::::

It ends here

No more pain

About damn time cause i'm going insane

Packup my life, move somewhere else

Lock the door to my abandoned house

Cry my tears to flood the floor

I ain't thinking of this world anymore

Got nothing to lose, I've lost it already

The chances of surviving doesn't look pretty

Go on, piss off, have a nice day

This world is deaf, so in itself it can pay

So now i'm learning about my life

By leaving it alone

And without a life, see me survive

Only for your love will I strive

I know why

::::::::::::

I know why, but I don’t know how

I want to get away from the pain im feeling now

My hearts rotting away, this life’s ganna pay

My lord, I’ve been patient, I’m waiting for that day

I love this girl, I love her so

I held onto her but she let go

No longer can I breathe, See me seethe

The hole in my heart is frozen in place

My pain is piling up, more and more paperwork

I’m sick of being a depression clerk

I want to see you, and if only you knew

About all this pain I’m going through

I’ve climbed your mountain, but I fell down

Into my river of tears, and I started to drown

If you’re still in my dreams, listen to my screams

Because I can’t swim, so it seems

Happiness is a Song

:::::::::::::::::::::::

I guess happiness is a song

With a beginning, middle and end

But happiness with you my friend,

Will be there till the end of time

Love is not like a river,

That flows one way.

Love is like an Ocean,

With waves every second and predators coming from behind.

But with this special friendship,

Not a friendship but a brothership,

No ocean is strong enough to break us apart,

No Song can end our attractions

Because our friendship is everlasting

We had this adventure,

through depression, love and faith

But this is only the beginning,

we have the rest of the journey to spend together

Please realize this is not the end of depression,

But neither is it the end of happiness and friendship

The meaning of life is to prepare for death,

Lets do it together.

Why

:::::

Why did I tell them all?

When our promise told us not to?

I could just crawl up into a ball

So that I didn't have to tell you

Lying in bed, i'm such a nervous wreck

Looking at my shadow haunting me

The guilt i feel is up to my neck

Man i gotta pee

See? I can't even write poems anymore

I wrote that i had to pee

My other poems used to be hardcore

Something about a knee

Someone so Plain

::::::::::::::::::::

I'd fallen into the pit, the light faded away

I was in pitch black, had no happiness to display

You told me to trust, love and obey

To keep my faith, and to pray

I prayed for months, still with no reply

I was losing my faith, and I started to die

When a hand came down from the top of the pit

My love for you I cannot deny

You led me through the jungle of depression and pain

You gave me a rainbow, took away the rain

How could you, oh Lord, love someone so Plain

A sinful wreck, a bad example, Just please Explain

From the way you have been able to extol my soul

My love for you will always remain

Just like when you silenced the storm and rain

You silenced my pain

I will now always remember that word 'faith'

Because I know if I dont, I would go insane

So now that I know without you there will be no shore

Thus, No island of heaven for me to explore

I've got a few others… But.. I guess that's all for now!
