I enjoy looking up,
To see that warm face.
Troubles just disappear,
Gone without a trace.
Everyday I wait,
I desire that one spark.
But I remain alone,
Sitting in the park.
It pains me each time,
When my smile is really fake.
So hard to be happy,
With the stress I cannot take.
Just one time to have,
A person to lift me out.
I live in this dark shell,
Filled with endless doubt.
I want that one person,
I need to leave this shell.
I want to cry on a shoulder,
But all I get is hell.
It's shattering each time,
I force a broken smile.
My clothes I wear,
Always out of style.
Maybe I will stop,
Stop faking that pointless grin
I slow from my run,
And halt when I see.
A giant brick wall:
I'll never be free.
Whenever it comes,
Something's always there.
It pains me to realize;
Life isn't fair.
I run to the wall,
And hit it with my fist.
My hand begins to ache,
Another problem on the list.
I don't know why I did it,
I knew it wouldn't break.
But it's something I have to do,
When the pain's too much to take.
I swing once again,
The wall remains the same.
I want someone at fault,
But have no one to blame.
I feel a chill as I slide,
Down the towering wall.
The border I lay back on,
Has finally saved my fall.

That Glimmer was Gone...
I've loved you with all of my heart,
And as I looked into your eyes,
I jumped with a start,
For what I saw there,
Was us splitting apart.
That glimmer was gone.
From what I used to see,
I could tell it was over,
For you left me for me,
And as you turned away,
My soul began to plea.
That glimmer was gone.
You slowly walked away,
But my spirit would not believe,
That such a thing could say,
"It is over and so are we,
There is no other way."
That glimmer was gone.
Forever lost to the world of Love...

Knight in Shining Armor
He was my knight in shining armor,
Never thought he would cause me harm.
He was my true life hero,
To him i was jusr a stupid ho.
He lft me when I was only eight,
He brought upon my sad fate.
When he began to hurt my body,
I turned into an alcoholic.
Sexual, mental, physical abuse,
These are the daily things he would do.
I wake up screaming to the sound of his laugh,
I feel as if i'm under attack.
He slapped me, yelled in my face,
To him I am simply a disgrace.
Slut, fuck up all words that have been thrown at me,
This is the life i must live.
I can't even give him a normal hug,
He's addicted to grabbing me like it's some kind
