Words Eat At My Soul

Tears Burn

For The Eyeliner Runs

Where To Turn?

Is The Only Question

I Can't Bear

Because The Truth Is

I Don't Know Where

To Go.

No

Says A Voice

Calling Out To Me

It Says To Join Her

In The Night

For Three

Good Reasons

One Bad

I'll Have Fun

Always Run

About The Earth

To Places

Where I'm Worth

Something.

But I'll Be Sad

Forever And Always

Lost In Madness

Lost In Time

Hoping

Wishing

To Die.

Like Now

Sitting Against

The Wall

Tears Burning

As They Run

Hurting

Whispering

I. Am. Done.

I Sit Here

Wondering Why

The Tears

Come So Often

Mimicking Me

Wanting To Be Free

Cutting Seems Like

The Only Way Out.

Because You Won't

Talk To Me.

I'm Without Love

Without You

The Only Thing Left

That I Thought Was True.

Hurt

Pain

And Rejection

Are My Tears

In The Reflection

Of The Mirror.

Luckily

It Isn't Shattered

Like Me.

Sitting

Staring

At The Wall

Waiting

For A Simple Stall

To Stop Me.

It Isn't Coming

I'm On End

Hanging Off The Edge

Letting Go

For The Very First Time.

And The Last.

It's The Only Way The School Computers Do It. (: And I Use A Lot Of 'Enters' To Emphasize The Emotion. I Capitalise My Words Just Because.(:

&quot;I would rather hated million times for what i did then loved a million times for what i didn&#039;t do.&quot; - Daniel Moto<br /> &quot; I&#039;ve sought out to be the best i could posibly be but when i hit a roadblock in life what did i do, i had two choices either stay at the roadblock or i take this roadblock and make of it and go around it and achieve my goal. So, what will it be?&quot;- Daniel Mathia <br /> <br /> &quot;People take love like its a four letter word or just a phrase that you tell people or your friends all the time. But in reality love is much bigger than a merely phrase or 4 letter word. Instead love is a genuine promise or covenant to that special person.&quot;-Daniel Mathia <br /> <br /> &ldquo;Why change yourself when you were made perfect and wonderfully by the creator of everything?&rdquo; &ndash; Daniel Mathia <br /> <br /> &ldquo;If live is not hurtin then were really not living in.&rdquo; &ndash; B.
