Standing here in the moonlight,

with you by my side,

despite your taste for the sun,

you stand here with me in the night.

How can I thank you enough?

You've given me so much,

and kept me here instead of casting me off.

You help me keep what's left of me together,

pulled me out of my pit, and now we're

Standing here in the moonlight,

together, side by side,

despite your taste for the sun,

you stand here with me in the night.

We'll walk together until our time is done,

through the lights, with hands held tight.

I have something to say and you can't silence me or take my voice away. I will be heard, no longer a caged bird. I will break free and show you the real me. You may not like what you hear, you may not want to stay near, but i don't care. I want to say this now, but i don't know how. There are so many thoughts, so many emotions but this is something you need to know. It's my turn to take the stage and let out this pent up rage, these emotions i let free are ones you've never seen in me. I have so much to say so pay attention. I've broken the seal and now I'm telling you what it is I feel. There is so much to be said, I don't know if words can describe it all, I know this may be my downfall but you need to see the real me. I have a confession to make and my will to speak can not break. I tried to hide behind the mask, the me they wanted to see, but now I have a new task. I'll tell you what's going through my mind and I'm warning you not all my thoughts are kind. I'm opening up, sick of being pushed around. I have a voice and I will use it. I'll tear this image apart bit by bit. I'm releasing myself, without your help. Please lend me your ear because this is something you need to hear. My confession is...

(What i used to be...)



Putting on the mask

to hold back the tears,

the sadness,

the frustration,

the suffering.



Attacking myself,

to keep in check,

so I don't drag you

down with worry.



Hiding my tears,

in the black darkness of night,

where no one will hear,

where no one will see,

no one will know.



Each feeling bottled,

each tear held back,

in front of eyes so caring,

sears the soul,

engorges the heart in pain.



Loneliness causes my facade

to crumble,

when I'm alone,

revealing the side of me

that's not allowed to be shown.



Letting the tears fall like rain,

uncontrollable and cold.



Thoughts once buried,

discard their cage,

fuel for the sobs and

silent screams.



This feeling,

so wrong,

cannot be explained.

Anguish,

Loneliness,

Grief,

And

Sorrow,

Tormented peace,

And

Misery

are all I can feel when I'm alone,

the feelings I make sure are never shown.

They try to put all the wrong ideas in your head. Telling you "We'd be better off if you were dead" "You're nothing to us, just a burden we didn't want." You struggle through taunts and merciless attacks on your emotions, only to be pinned by different devotions. Half of you wants to listen and just give in but the other half hangs on and its grip won't lessen. As time flys by you begin to cry, sick of all the torment and anger. The childhood you lost and the future that you fear is drawing nearer and nearer. To those so called parents you've become an outsider, a stranger. A vent for their raw emotions, their stress, their anger. Their hatred keeps pulling you down but we're here to keep you from sinking. We're your true friends, your true family. Let us be your safe haven. We'll be your open window, your escape for that hellish place, we'll help you stand with a solid base and remove the sadness from your face. Now look a stronger person you've become, and you know we all hold you dear. Through all the challenges and trails we're still here. The end of the battle is drawing near, but the war continues, a lasting fear. But remember this, my friend we'll always be here holding you close, until the end.
