Since the Pledge of Allegiance
and
The Lord's Prayer
are not allowed in most
public schools anymore
Because the word "God" is mentioned...
Now I sit me down in school
Where praying is against the rule
For this great nation under God
Finds mention of Him very odd.
If Scripture now the class recites,
It violates the Bill of Rights.
And anytime my head I bow
Becomes a Federal matter now.
Our hair can be purple, orange or green,
That's no offense; it's a freedom scene.
The law is specific, the law is precise.
Prayers spoken aloud are a serious vice.
For praying in a public hall
Might offend someone with no faith at all.
In silence alone we must meditate,
God's name is prohibited by the state.
We're allowed to cuss and dress like freaks,
And pierce our noses, tongues and cheeks.
They've outlawed guns, but FIRST the Bible.
To quote the Good Book makes me liable.
We can elect a pregnant Senior Queen,
And the 'unwed daddy,' our Senior King.
It's "inappropriate" to teach right from wrong,
We're taught that such "judgments" do not belong.
We can get our condoms and birth controls,
Study witchcraft, vampires and totem poles.
But the Ten Commandments are not allowed,
No word of God must reach this crowd.
It's scary here I must confess,
When chaos reigns the school's a mess.
So, Lord, this silent plea I make:
Should I be shot; My soul please take!
Amen
The razor is in my hand
I'm about to break my promises
my promises my friends hold so dear
I will not cut I will go to them for help
But, they wouldn't understand
they wont even try
these tears that I've cried
will just evaporate into the sky
No one will ever know they existed
not even I.
For they have dried up and will not fall again
though this is painful
and it will be hard
I'll listen for that silent sound
the sound of that crystal tear
the sound of the razor's tears
they will fall and be noticed
for the razor's tears aren't clear
they are as dark as the midnight sky
and fall from my bloody teared eyes
These tears of blood hold no remorse,
hold no fears.
I don't want to die by cutting my wrists, so
I'll cut my throat, the blood will squirt
out of my neck and I will slowly sink to the floor
when you look at me dead you will think
oh another poor innocent child
that had to go through to much pain
that she killed herself.
Well, let me tell you right now
I tried to reach out
but everything I tried to grasp
was out of my reach
All my friends, all my lovers.
Even my family seemed too good for me
Even though our family is more messed up than me
My only dieing wish is for Katie to be shown into the light
and to whom ever reads this I hope they will
take her away from those evils
of our parents fighting
I don't think I could live with myself
if Katie takes her own life.
I would die all over again
Please protect her...
People that know my pain
people that remain the same
I've been told by my friends
that I'm only Emo because
I want attention
but it's not true
I've stated before that
I cut myself not to take away pain
but to create pain
to let me know that I am still alive
and that I haven't given in to pain's
evil smile
The grin keeps getting bigger and bigger
and it wont stop it smiles and says
come rid yourself of your pain
come the easy way
but every time I go to take my life
something happens
A death, a new life
a commitment, or a secret
In grade 9 I wanted to kill myself
why may you ask
well you can judge me all you want
you can say oh she's one of those girls
who wants attention and is so spoiled
she doesn't understand true pain
well believe what you want
for when I'm gone we'll see who's correct.
I want to die because of everything
I can't have a decent conversation with
either of my parents anymore
my parents are always fighting
and make me choose a side
it slowly kills me and eats me away inside
every time my father says to me
look I told you your mother is like this
well my question for you is why did you marry her
was it her looks or did you think
you were really in love
let me tell you something
you act as if you were drunk when you got married
and neither one of you believe in getting a divorce
If you think getting a divorce would be bad for us think again
I would be happier if you two got a divorce then I could come home
and breath in some clean tension free air for once
sometimes before I go to bed I think of ways to
kill myself so that when you find me I'll be dead...
...on the outside.
The most clear time I can remember trying to commit suicide
was in Art class I was fed up with my life and I decided
I would run in front of a moving car.
I didn't care who saw me as long as my pain left me to finally die
But as fate would have it some strange boy across from me told me
he liked me WOW
what a wake up call
it made me think
I'm still loved there are people out there who care for me
I don't know if it was fate or God who intervened in my evil plotting
but I'm sort of thankful, but not
you see this guy did say he liked me and at first
I couldn't believe it
A random guy you could say I could never see myself
liking confesses he has feelings for me.
I think the only reason I fell for him is because he saved me
He saved me not once but countless times over.
Until SHE came along
I always knew it was too good to be true
but I couldn't help myself I had to see where it would end
would he show me into the light and open the lid
or would he grab a nail and hammer and shut that lid tight.
I guess it was human interest that led me into the trap
I don't regret I merely wish it had happened a lot smoother
for on the day that I was going officially ask him out
he comes up to me smiling and I can't help but smile at him
but then my smile comes crashing down and beating against my heart
a blade in the stomach couldn't have hurt me more than those four little words
"I have a girlfriend"
I wanted to scream I wanted to cry but I couldn't I'm too rough around the edges.
the tears of my heart I could feel them sweeping over me
In gigantic waves of pain of regret of hate of confusion.
Why didn't he like me, and only me
why did he tell me he liked me if he was going to crush me
If he had any idea what that did to me he would want to kill him too
but I couldn't kill him because there was some light of hope
that he would be single again
And now that time has come
He's back in my life and I don't have any walls,
no protection against my emotions
I've just been kicked in the back by another boy
I can't stand it again.
It's too much pain to cope with as well as my already harnessed pain
dwelling inside of me
I can't compete I'm not as pretty as the other girls he likes
I'm not as thin as the other girls he likes
I'm not as smart as the other girls he likes
I'm not as funny as the other girls he likes
so Why, Why can't I let go of him
is it because he is the first guy who
has ever told me he likes me??
I don't understand, I don't want to understand
because if I understand why I'm feeling this way
it will crush me more when he closes that lid again
I want to move forward I want to bury my pain kept in that jar
I want to be happy but I can't let this one man,
this one obstacle keeps me from my ultimate goal
and that goal is my own death.
I've finally reached my limit
there's nowhere left to go
I have nowhere to turn
nowhere to shelter myself
No one cares if I die
they don't care if I live
I live for no one I die for no one
I feel nothing, I give nothing
I smile but cry on the inside
A smile can be faked
meaning happiness can be faked
So just because I'm smiling
doesn't mean that I'm happy
Happiness is a lie
I know this is true for I myself
am a servant to grief and pain
when people cut themselves
they say it's to take away pain
they're lucky to be able to feel
ANYTHING
as I've said before I'm an empty
shell with a painted on smile
I don't cut myself to get rid of
the pain, I cut myself to create pain
so I know I'm still alive I haven't died
I haven't given in to pain or death
I have a resolve and that is to live
to live on and be happy
even fall in love but that wont
happen in my current state
so I'll believe in something and that
something is GOD
I will turn to him when I'm in need
when I'm in pain when I need someone
to talk to who I know wont use my own
words against me a friend
more than any of my other friends
someone I can trust someone I can love
someone who can love me
for all my faults for all my lies
for all my tears and all my fears
If my one love my one friend
leaves me I wont die but I will
cease to feel again
I wont be saved If I'm let down again
it's happened before it will happen again
fool me once shame on you
fool me twice shame on me
fool me three times and I will die
I will live but I will die inside
you wont see me die you wont
hear me die but I'll know when I've died
for I will smile again but It wont be me
it will be my conscience staying alive
for the people who can feel
for the people who will die
I'll never die I can't die
my pain is too strong to carry on
If I die it will be by my own hands
but........HELP ME!!!!!!!!!
If I remain here today
I will not remain sane
I cannot stand my life as it is
My life is a standstill
through life and death
I wish i could cry
I can't cry because,
it's been beaten into me
Don't cry, crying is for children
you're an adult now so start acting
like one
no more tears no more fears
just get up there with no regrets
I wish i could but I'm still young
I haven't even completed my schooling
You could say i haven't even lived my life yet
it's true I don't want to die but If i do
I will not fear it I will not run away
I will not cry for I'm not allowed
i will be beaten and abused
and even raped but I won't shed a tear
for It shows weakness is what I'm told
I want to cry I really do
but something's holding me back
I don't know what
I feel lost and alone and I don't
know what to do
who to turn to where to run
I want to cry dear God let me cry
but I don't believe in God so he wont hear
my silent cries and pleadings to be finally left alone.
To run and cry away my fears and my tears are there
I can feel them waiting to be let out
but I wont let them leak out
these tears of pain have dried up
and I have yet to see them fall.
I wonder who would miss me,
I wonder who would cry.
I wonder where my stuff would go,
after the day I die.
Will I die young, will I die old,
will someone else kill me.
Or will I die by my own hands?
To set myself free from pain.
They think I'm happy,
though they really don't know,
the pain that rages inside me
these countless things I've tried
If I were to list the numerous times
I tried to die, it would be more
that the fingers on my hands.
I could slit my throat and bleed
to death, or shoot myself right
in the head. I've already gone Emo
there's nothing really left. I'm an
empty shell with a painted on smile.
When I leave will they cry?
When I leave I hope they die.
So they can feel what I felt,
and understand the things I dread.
There's no emotion in my words,
when someone says they love me,
I don't feel it. It passes through my
body like a shiver down my spine
because I know I can't return those
feelings that they hold so dear.
I am an empty shell, I feel nothing,
I say nothing I feel, for I cannot feel
ANYTHING.
I wonder who would miss me
I wonder who would cry
I'm gonna try and stab myself
I wish that I could DIE!
Alone in the middle of blood,
the tears of my friends have dared.
To show their faces and will flood,
the memories that we have shared.
I whisper prayers to be safe,
I hide watching for family.
I see nothing but mothers crying,
I'm whispering to God, help me!
Now as a baby screams non-stop,
she watched her mothers head come off.
The rain will come and feel so hot,
for if I'm not careful I may cough.
Must I stop crying over this pain?
and be brave and stand another day.
For I do reasons to remain,
a living person for that is my way.
I will peer through the lid and hope,
for I have chosen my path.
And there's nothing that will provoke,
me turning around and feeling pains wrath.
Now as a baby screams non-stop,
she watches her mothers head come off.
The rain will come and feel so hot,
for if I'm not careful I may cough.
The dark clouds of dust spread and swarm me,
the fire spreads throughout the village.
Dead surround the homes is what I see,
the enemies come to pillage.
Cries of my people fill my head,
blood that is spilt lays before me.
Warriors that have fought still tread,
and my pain will forever be free.
Now as a baby screams non-stop,
she watched her mothers head come off.
The rain will come and feel so hot,
for if I'm not careful I may cough.
