Please, don't give up.You’re not alone, even if you feel such sorrow
Please try to calm your mind and forget about tomorrow
I know that life can hurt, but from my happiness you can borrow
Please don't cry anymore, I will help you with the troublesome morrow

Even if the bad seem to be everywhere you go
Just keep in mind that you have to stay away from what’s below
And I know that you’ll learn from these bad experiences
So then you can help those who are inexperienced

Please don’t be sad, everyone has a reason for his or her existence
You can’t ever give up, push through and have resistance
The worst thing you could do is to l

Pursuing my happiness

I can feel the rubble beneath my feet
My eyes are clouded with a fog that restricts me from seeing
For now I feel blind, but from a distance I see a shining figure
Though I seem to be in a malevolent environment, I don’t feel like fleeing

With each step I take, the rubble pierces my feet
Though the pain is sorrowful, faith strengthens my heart
I know I won’t be disappointed with finding someone who shines in the dark
All of this will be worth it; this will be where my happiness starts

It's that wonderful day.People are confessing, some already dating
Hearing so much “I love you”, it’s driving someone crazy
So let’s exchange hatred with love and just get along
And celebrate the day by listening to a corny song

Singles shouldn’t cry or start weeping inside
Just wait for the one, even if it takes a long time
Couples show your love, but explicitly has always been grime
Nimble kisses and a hug, anything else will be when you reside

Just remember to show care to the one who’s fair
It’s Valentine’s Day after all, and I’m sure you’re aware
That the “special someone” is waiting

I'll wipe off your tearsTrust me when I say this, everything will be alright
I’ll be here, to comfort you every moment of your life
Cry on my chest if you like, only if it lets you feel right
Because I will always be here, right by your side

I know some things can be unexpected,
And sometimes the bad can’t be evaded
But I’ll try my best, so you can be able to rest
And I’ll try my best to relieve you from stress

Because I care too much to leave you with pain
It tears my heart to see you like this again
You’ve told me to step back, but it's too sad and tiring
I promise you, this will be the last time you’ll be crying

Rose tinted memoriesI’ve felt this way since we first met

My heart pounded fast and I couldn’t behave

My hands were always shaking and my words wouldn’t come out the same

I removed all that’s dreaded to change my old ways

But time has passed now, and everything has changed

The love I once felt might no longer be awake

But I know deep inside that things remain unchanged

Because I might forget your face but the good moments will never go away

Dying From LoveDying From Love

His sweet words touched her heart
Now it is bleeding and torn apart
His gentle touch as he held her hand
Now it is empty as a barren land
His tender kiss across her lips
Ignited something deep within
Now they are parched and dry
Craving moisture that he would provide
He caressed her heart with his love
Now it is screaming from the pain
Dying slowly as she cries in the rain

The MaskThe unmasked face,
Baring her soul to the world,
A terrifying prospect,
To one as young as me.

The carefully painted tears,
Are leaving tracks down her cheeks,
But these are not her cheeks,
Just the mask so well put together.

Her inner soul was shown,
By means of really seeing her.
Questions bubble to the lips,
Of the real her inside.

The tenderness that's herWith every word written, with every word spoken
I try my best to express myself, without it being broken
For what I feel is deep in my heart, is love that I want to be showing
Every day it develops, every day I feel more loving

Is the tenderness of passion, which I’ve never felt before
A feeling that I got from a girl who I truly adore
Beautiful as a rose and gentle as a peaceful dove
My heart gets filled with warmth, a feeling I describe as love

She’s the most beautiful girl I’ve seen, that’s as simple as I can be
So very cute and filled with joy, she’s the only girl who I want to see
Her adorable smile that

ForgottenMy soul is rotten,
My heart forgotten,
my life is pain
and as i sit in the rain
my body goes numb
death is swift,
my pain is gone
i see the light
and walk gladly to it
my soul is forgotten
my heart has rotten,
my life is over,
and no one remembers me.
--Anthony

end of the tunnel
at the source of light
I slip inside
to mind the night
I watch the world
I once lived in
Turmoil for sake of sin
I can see the devil grin
I used to play the fight
But now I'm done
Welcome the night
-Zachary

The Darkness hurts,
but i don't feel it
deep inside, i feel it's right
It's all so foreign,
makes me feel forgotten,
all over again,

Dark Sadistic Muse:Dark Sadistic Muse:

I seat myself before the computer,
With fingers poised over fading keys.
Eagerly awaiting my latest epic;
Yet frozen by a lack of inspiration.

Here I sit, staring at the blank document.
The dark background mirroring the world behind me.
I swallow hard as my body locks;
Hairs tense as I sense her arrival...

Slender fingers soon wrap themselves around my throat.
With claw-like nails digging in painfully,
They prick the skin that lies just beneath my Adam’s apple;
Leaving me nursing a rather painful necklace.

"Your hands aren't moving," she coos softly,
Her clawed fingers gently stroking my chin.
"Why is that, I won

Behind Rusted BarsHere I stand behind rusted bars.
Trying to heal my scars.
Trying to fix my mistakes.
Trying to get over all the heart aches.

I see others pass by.
And watch others rot and die.
I wonder when it's my time.
But I'm behind theses bars for a crime.

They say I won't live much longer.
But I'm growing smarter and stronger.
I wait until the day has come.
When I will be judged on what I become.

The day I die.
When no one will cry.
Because of what I did.
They say I did something they forbid.

The day I shall perish.
Die with the thing I cherish.
My innocence.

Promises, PromisesYou said you would come,
so why aren't you here?
You walked out of my life,
you disappeared.

I have so much to tell you
since I saw you last.
Don't you want to hear
all about my new class?

How I'm making new friends,
how I'm learning new things?
How everyone jumps up
when the dismissal bell rings?

I'm waiting here still,
staring out the window
of the room where we once sat
and spent the day watching videos.

My Sesame Street doll
sits at my side.
It's the one you gave me,
once upon a time.

My old blue blanket
sits around my shoulders
as I remember us playing,
until we got older.

The sun has long set
upon the great times
of sledding and

A Polished White SinkA Polished White Sink:

If I had to call this world a blessing;
I think I'd say 'I find it damn depressing.'
You might think I'm stupid from how I'm dressing,
But this is just the heart I feel like wearing.

I see street corners and absent youth;
Don't pretend you don't ever see the night.
Cause when it turns dark, the maggots start crawling;
Looks like God decided to shut out the light.

I can warm my hands on fire and watch the people go,
They don't know who I am, I just go with the flow.
I see streets that seem empty, clogged to the brink;
But that's the reality deep beneath the sink.

It looks clean on the outside, polished porcelain whit

Crossed The Line"Crossed The Line"

She told him "no" many instances before
At first he listened, but not this time
Her words were sounds that he ignored
Because finally, he crossed the line

At first it seemed like every date
He was sweet and kind, holding doors
But even still at any rate
She found herself screaming on the bedroom floor

Because he heard, but didn't listen
Only hearing what he wanted to hear
And by pure hormones he was driven
While her pleas fell on deaf's ears

At first it started out innocent
Holding hands, kissing, locking lips
But soon it was no longer ambivalent
Once his hands swayed around her hips

He tried crawling them

My Sleepless NightI couldn't sleep last night
Because I had you by my side
In the dark I could see your gorgeous brown eyes
And in my heart I could feel your tender love

Even when I could feel my whole body freezing
I would look at you, awake or simply sleeping
You, just being by my side breathing
I would get a warm cozy feeling

It wouldn't bother me that you would take most of the quilt
You yourself were my own comforter
Like laying down in the grass looking at the moon
I got lost admiring the sleeping beauty of you

Hypocrisy Wears A MaskIs hard to understand, when people just pretend
Or is it complete ignorance that I can't comprehend
My house is full of masked people, so they'll never reveal the truth
When they're around people, they'll never show they're crude

It's a burden to be the only one unmasked
Every truth I speak will quickly get me scolded
Because they'll never care unless I become one of theirs
So they'll slander my name and try to drive me insane

They'll never leave me alone; they seem to be everywhere I go
They'll never let me have peace, not until I wear my own
I hope I never join those ignorant masked clones
I don't want to have a cynical two face

Well, I miss you...I miss you because I hold you so dearly
You're mostly in my mind, but not because I worry
But because I miss the gentle voice that inspired my poems
The playful personality that cheered me up every moment

Your adorable ways, that would always warm my heart
How beautiful you are that you'd break the fourth wall
Your difference between girls, being real, not a thought
My heart was sad until here, you were brought

Because every time I go to sleep
I wish that you were here, laying down next to me
Hopefully, you feel the same
Because without you, I just can't stay sane

The Truth of InsideLook at me,
Tell me what you see
What you see with your eyes
What is deep in your mind?

I'll stay in my disguise
You're not looking at the real guy
The real guy is hiding inside
Talk to me and you'll regret all the lies

Stop judging from a distance
Come close so we can be friends
But truthfully, because hypocrisy will make us enemies
Then I'll start thinking you're a fiend

If we understand and accept each other
We can become closer, even like brothers
Until then, go to your good friends
Even though I'm the real friend you could have gained

My Dedicated LoveYou are so angelic, and so unique
I can't believe that you even talk to me
Cause all you're qualities makes you so radiant
It would feel like I was speaking to an angel

This sounds really corny or cliché,
But is the truth what I speak
You're my inspiration for writing these poems
You're in my mind every time I grab my pencil
And every love poem I make is dedicated to you

There's only one word that explains what I feel
Is a feeling that seems insane but its real
A feeling that I have deep inside of my heart
And that feeling is called "love"

I Call it LoveEvery moment I spend my time with her
I know that she's the only girl I prefer
From being beautiful and sweet
To being animated and carefree

She is bliss to my life
She heartens me everyday
And she's always there when I'm down
She takes my bitterness away

She attained my heart quickly
And change my world entirely
She means so dearly to me
She has my heart completely

I really hope I never lose her
Or despair will fall completely on me
Because she's the only one I want
She's the only one I need

I know that you remember all of those bitter moments
But what is it worth for to keep those memories working
They’re not making you happy; they’re just making you hopeless
Then follows depression from the feelings that you’ve let lurking

Because you went through it, but you relive it every moment
When it’s all in your mind and you’re making it a necessary component
It’s just jarring to your heart, yet you keep it for your mind is uncertain
Many broken hearts, from family to friends, something you won’t admit was certain

I’ve been like you, for months to years, having a mind that’s unclear
And so I’ve shed so many tears, all which came from fear
Though it could be hard to move along, no one ever said you cannot
So please, don’t give up, I believe in you, even if you do not

Another great piece!

Only wish I found dA two years ago, but that's in the past now. I would rather look to the future.

~GentlePeace Feb 26, 2013 Hobbyist Writer

Thank you.
But it would've been impossible since I've been in DA for 9 months now... Oh... I see what you did there

Beautiful

Ironically, I was just telling someone something along the lines of this... to face their feelings, and let them go, because there isn't any point in holding onto those pains.

I used to be depressed too, but I moved on. The interesting thing about the drawing here is that I sometimes say "an Angel took my hand and walked me out of the dark."

~GentlePeace Feb 23, 2013 Hobbyist Writer

I think this happens to all of us, I just hope we all go through it.
Thank you and I hope that person finds happiness.
