Realising the Obvious

I've just realised something incredible,
Something that's been staring me in the face for a long time,
I have an amazing life,
I get to go into college everyday and see great people,
I have the most amazing friends outside of college too,
I have no reason to be sad,
Not when I get to partake in random adventures,
That others would kill to take part in,
I can't afford to waste this opportunity,
This wonderful gift I've received...

All my old thoughts are gone...
I'm going nowhere.

Knives and Lies

The knives are out now,
The lies are spread,
One lie contradicts another,
Who's doing the lying?
Roommates stab each other in the back,
Friends slag off friends,
If you could even call them that,
Stuff is said that's designed to hurt,
To damage other friendships,
Retaliations are designed to end other relationships,
What is the point of all this lying?
No one wins in the end,
A sense of irreparable pain just grips everyone,
Nothing can be taken back...

Show Feeling, Please Talk

There’s no weakness in showing feeling,
There’s no weakness in talking to someone,
Remaining withdrawn only builds it up,
Opening up is the only way to release it all…

Common misconception is the weakness,
Not the bearing of human emotion to another,
So please, lift the blindness when doubts start to creep,
Share your worries with someone you can trust…

Please talk to someone who wants to help…

Goodbye to Everyone

Well she said she’s gonna try,
She’s gonna try avoid the cry,
She’s gonna try and stop…

She’s gonna try get by,
Get by without that guy,
She’s gonna try forget…

I can see it in her eyes,
I can see all those lies,
I can see the broken pieces…

I can see it in her face,
Her mind’s all over the place,
She’s gone completely insane…

But still she’s gonna try,
She’s gonna try escape the cry,
She’s gonna try and smile…

But still I see the pain,
Her eyes are a dark lane,
She’s completely broken now…

And she sees only one escape,
Her mind’s tunnelled by hate,
She wants to runaway…

So she knots the hang man’s noose,
No part of it was loose,
And so she said goodbye…

Goodbye to a world of pain,
Goodbye to the insane,
Goodbye to everyone…

Goodbye to everyone…

(with this poem I was trying to think in the mindset of somebody close to me - needless to say the end result was disturbing but, thankfully, not the reality).

No Answers

It's all going to waste,
A lack of distinction and taste,
People continue to live in ignorance,
No compliance, only defiance,
A light goes off in my mind,
Hard to find they're so unkind,
Try to shine, seek the divine,
Looking for life's eternal shrine,
Hearing nothing but lie after lie,
I continuously cry and cry,
Who is it that gives the answers?
Certainly not these chancers'...

Feelings hard to describe,
Receiving gibe after gibe,
What was my crime?
When is my time?
All so sudden,
When did this happen?
Questions and answers,
Still nothing from the chancers',
Alone now, surrounded by silence,
No help to be found, no guidance,
When do I find a friend?
Maybe when I find the end...

Eternity lasts as long as you believe it to...
