Hello Depression

Hello depression my old friend
Did you come to steal my life again
The past is gone
Yet
The memories run fresh
Times of hardships
That put my sanity to the test

Hello depression
You come like a flood
Emotional  baggage
Tears
Scars
The hate
The fear
Voices ringing in my ear

Hello depression
Bullies from years ago
Laughing
Teasing
In my face
You thought it was a joke

Hello depression my old friend
Did you come to steal my life again

Amber the Ghost Girll

Her name is Amber
Or at least
That is the name she has been given
For nobody knows her true name
She is 6 years old
Or at least that is how she appears
For she is a ghost child

Raven black long hair
Blue eyes
Pale white skin
She wears a white nightgown
And always carries a teddy bear

I said she is 6 years old
However she is much much older
Her exact age is unknown
However some guess 2-3 hundred years

She is mostly harmless
Wandering here and there
In the dead of night
Farmers have seen her
Walking through their Hayfield
One claims that while he was out
Hunting one early morning
He saw her rise from the depths
Of the pond

She can be seen wandering the streets in town as well
Some say that sometimes
She carriers a lantern with her
But
She always has her teddy bear

Some say she burned in a house fire
Some say she wandered away from home and got lost in the nearby woods
There are even weirder and more gruesome tales about her dimise

Most of the time she is harmless
However
When she gets into a mood
Her eyes turn bloodshot
Her hair turns to flames
Some say her teddy bear
Becomes a real bear
She uses other worldly powers
To create much mischief
Throwing objects
With the wave of her hand
She could stand on one end of the street
Her screeching yell could break every glass object along that street,  and some tales say the whole block

After she's had her "fun"
She'd turn back into an innocent child
Holding her teddy bear once more
And continue on her wandering ways

It kills me

It kills me a little each day
To see you look at him that way
I have expressed my feelings
Every way I know how
Still
You don't even look my way

Sure he has more muscles
Sure he is more popular
I may not seem like much
But
My heart is yours
From the first time I saw you
I had feelings for you

As those feelings have grown
I have tryed to let you know
You mean everything to me

Still you leave me in the dark
Chasing those of the popular
Playing games
That's all they're doing
Just wait and see
He will break your heart
You will lose your spark
All because you chased after him

I will love you true
I will hold on to you
I will never let you go

Most people only see the outside

Most people see the outside
When they look at me
They don't know the day to day
Emotional struggle I fight
They don't know
The demons lurking inside me
It is only by the grace of God
That I keep it all in check

Most people see only the outside
But
If they got a look within
They would find a vast void
An empty pit
Of sadness
Of turmoil
Of pain
All wrapped up within
The human shell

Most people only see the outside
They don't see
The emotional wreckage
That threatens to destroy me
The emotional whirlpool
Trying to pull me under
Trying to drown
This person that I am

I slam therefore I am (Tribute to poetry slams)

I slam therefore I am
I write
 Speak
And breath poetry
It flows through my veins
It is at the very core of my existence

I slam therefore I am
Every word
Every  emotion
An out pouring of life
Blood
Sweat
Tears
Human life at it's purest

I slam therefore I am
We stand up here
Mic in our hand
Pouring out our
Heart
Mind
Soul
Trying to help people understand
Who we truly are
Where we truly stand

I slam therefore I am
I am Human
I have a voice
That voice must be heard

You may be

You may be out of my life
But you never leave my mind
You never leave my thoughts

You may be out of my life
You never left my heart
I still love you

Bring me back to you

Bring me back to you
Bring me back to your open arms
To feel the warmth of your love
The tenderness of your care

Bring me back to you
Let me know that someone cares
That someone is there
That someone is happy to see me

Bring me back to you
Help me open up once more
Help me Step a way
From my foolish pride

Bring me back to you
I am lost
I am scared
