yeah, so I wrote this, and I am still not happy with it, but here it is anyways...



I can sense shadows drawing closer
Surely they will devour me
Caution comes in every step
Waiting for the moment’s strike
Waiting in anticipation
Waiting here
Through all frustration
Who will come to rescue me
Please provide a hand
Can only afford assistance if it comes for free

Why am
I standing closer
Why when
It only helps conquer me
Why can’t
I run just a little further
Surely I still desire to be set free

I can see somebody coming
Please tell me that’s your guiding light
Lord I know I hope that you can come
Enter quickly
Please make some noise
I’m lacking will
That’s why I’m wishing
I’m holding soul
But my faith it is now slipping

Did I cry
And pray in vain
My life’s been worthless
Let me try again
I’m waiting for that final hour
Time ticks by
It’s haunting me
Waiting for my clock to rest
Why is this not alarming me

Why am
I standing closer
Why when
It only helps conquer me
Why can’t
I run a little further
Surely I still desire to be set free

Trust in you
Well are you friend
You say you are
So help me end
Looking for a definite conclusion
With my loss even more of a win
Will you now make your decision
Can I go
Let more life begin
The only thing I enjoy is having no feelings....being numb rocks!

And I won't make the same mistakes
(Because I know)
Because I know how much time that wastes
(And function)
Function is the key

    When you breath in
    Can you feel it
    Coming down
    Right upon you
    Does it smother
    Suffocate
    Life goes flailing
    Precious moments
    Too much to handle
    You can’t take it
    And with blind eye
    Senses set in
    Survival instinct
    Nowhere in reach
    You grasp
    You hang on
    Not so tight
    You are trying
    Can you earn your life

    Feeling comes down
    Sinking in
    Pleading moments
    Don’t mean a thing
    Why start begging
    Your all alone
    No hope for triumph
    It’s the way it is
    Head hung so low
    With lack of pride
    Waiting for it
    It won’t subside

    No hope
    No reason
    Shadows overcome
    No point in running
    You don’t know where your running from
    No direction
    Big blank slate
    One single entry
    That tells your fate

    Can you sense it
    Can you feel
    You know you can
    Don’t see you running
    Acceptance has sunk in
    Where can you run to
    You tried to hide
    But fleeting moments
    Have come to subside
    Internal clock
    Won’t play the game
    Time stop ticking
    Silence encompasses you
    No point in trying
    Arms are shaking
    Reluctantly
    Mind is open
    Finally accepting
    Nowhere else to turn to
    End is coming true
    Nowhere else to run to
    You know your time is through
    The only thing I enjoy is having no feelings....being numb rocks!

    And I won't make the same mistakes
    (Because I know)
    Because I know how much time that wastes

    I've had a day or two like ack. Amazing I have never seen it in words. I liked them both, wording, sense, familiarity who knows. Thanks, I'm still alive.

    Still I sit here
    Why am I hating
    All that’s been brought down
    Patiently anticipating
    Waiting moments
    Killing time
    Never thought
    It would take this long

    Flipping over hour glass
    Seems the same as watching the paint drying
    Boredom settles
    It makes a home
    Hatred stirred
    But doesn’t grow
    Lack of feeling
    No care
    No worries
    Even with fate drawing upon me

    Fireworks
    Subdued by missiles
    Explosions suppressed
    Never shown
    Blasting blocked
    There’ll be no explosion
    No astonished faces
    Confused in a commotion

    What will
    It take to be over
    When will
    There be conclusion
    Don’t want
    Another act
    Please call
    Need the final curtain
    Nothing much
    Is known for certain
    How do you pertain
    What is your purpose
    Show your will
    I beg from near
    End the torment
    I give in
    There’s no more fear

    Give me something
    Don’t want to pass the time
    Clock is unwound
    It’s settling time
    Don’t deny
    I do admit it
    Did not try
    I just can’t live it
    Stop the hurting
    Relieve their pain
    Bring a final moment
    Must I beg again
    The only thing I enjoy is having no feelings....being numb rocks!

    And I won't make the same mistakes
    (Because I know)
    Because I know how much time that wastes

    I prefer the snow to mud
    for it seems so pure.
    To watch it fall, shear
    entertainment, fullfilled.

    Must I seem so simple
    to find it amusment. Such
    natural beauty, there to
    busy me. What more...

    A wait for something is
    no good it seems, as
    long as it is not taken.
    Looking inside, question.

    Walking steps for many,
    heart and soul to woe.
    Never to try, grab, have
    to reach should slow...

    Finally, am able, do as
    you know, I did it, I, me
    Not that other human
    being, now what to get

    If time will pass, *please*
    hurry quick, too many of
    things to do. What would
    I waste, No time of blue


    Hope you like it. I happen to enjoy your writing so I read them. Breathe.

    Felt it come
    It’s coming on so strong
    Light up bright
    So that we
    So we can guide from harm
    Reaching hand
    Oh steering clear
    Drag me from
    All those things we fear

    Empty eyes
    Skin so pale
    A lifeless soul
    Who am I to criticize

    Time bomb ticking
    To the world’s clock
    A social beat
    You can not stop
    Time bomb ticking
    When will I blow
    When will I pop

    Shadow creeping in
    Upon me
    Are you here to save the day
    Shadows come to overcome me
    Helping hand
    Show me now
    End these ways
    Shadow creeping down
    Consume me
    Take everything that you have to
    I understand you don’t want me to quench my desire
    I understand you do only what you have to
    Copious distain
    It does provide me
    Hatred the fuel that I need
    Hold me back
    Just end it all
    Stop my clock
    Make me the one who bleeds
    The only thing I enjoy is having no feelings....being numb rocks!

    And I won't make the same mistakes

    Hatred is such an ugly thing. Right down the middle....

    an awful lot of anxious time, that you seem to hate. Please forgive my shortness.

    yeah, more specifically a time piece in each piece.

    that is sorta part of the storry, hand in hand with the self-righteous suicide type thing

    One word popped into my head reading these: rescue - to rescue and/or to be rescued...good reads... :)
    Our love must not be just words, but True Love, which shows itself in action,
    No one needs a smile more than someone who fails to give one,
    After you die...you know how to LIVE!
