Realization

(Inspired by My December)

  I feel so alone
Like I have no home
Keep listening to My December
Sadness is all I remember
He sounds so depressed in the song
Like it's been hidden inside for so long
Then to express so much in such little time
He tells his life story and so it seems mine
All I need are the words to his poem
While I sit and listen I feel less alone
You're not alone there are others like you
This is My December
I now have somewhere to go to
This is My December
I have someone to come home to

Your Music Speaks Loud and Clear

(This was inspired by the times when i've been depressed and the only thing i felt that i could relate to is Linkin Park's music.)

Your music speaks loud and clear
As I am conquering my worst fear
Flushed face, falling tears
Your music speaking loud and clear
Vocals screaming, guitars screeching
Your music speaks loud and clear
Your lyrics - a goal I am reaching
Your music speaks loud and clear

No Regrets

Verse 1
1:  I don't think I'll ever know
What it's like to live, to grow
'Cuz you just can't let go
2:  Let Go!
1:  I wish you would tell me why
I can't do anything right
And all my struggles are a lost fight
2:  Lost Fight!
1:  You just don't understand me
And I don't think i'll ever see
What it's like to be free
Chorus 2X-2:  Struggling for your respect
Fighting with nothing left
Crying with my last breath
Living with no regrets
Verse 2
1:  I don't know what this is for
I don't think i can take anymore
Gimme some freedom to soar
2: To Soar!
1:  I wanna feel like I can fly
I don't wanna hear another lie
'Cuz I don't wanna be lonely tonight
2:  Tonight!
1:  Fighting to regain control
Feeling like I"ve lost my soul
With my last breath, I let go
Chorus 2X
Verse 3
1:  As I fall to the ground
I don't think i'll ever be found
I can't take anymore and break down
2:  Break Down!
1:  When I wake up from my daze
All I can see is a heavy haze
It's like I"m locked in a cage
2:  Locked cage
1:  I finally decide to give up
It seems I have no more luck
Giving all that's me, still never enough
Bridge
2:  Let Go!
Lost Fight!
1:  Can't take...
2:  To Soar!
Tonight!
1:  Any more...
2:  Break Down!
Locked Cage!
1:  Just need to...
2:  LET GO!!
Chorus 2X
Ending Bridge
1:  You need to...
2:  Let Go!
1:  Just need to...
2:  Let Me Go!

Sorrows of a Papercut

to those unfortunate enough to know how it feels
to live day to day with this relieving addiction
we know that the pain is very real
while to others it may seem like mearly fiction
the blood we spill to stay alive each night
is reflected by our once hidden and shameful scars
but with each day we understand the growing fight
and in the dark we all plead to the stars
for the lucky few who fought the cravings today
will wake up scared tomorrow that they won't be as strong
and in the light we'll smile and we'll say
i've been faking my joy for you all along
and everynight we'll turn on that CD
to listen to the music of which we can relate
chester, mike, joe, brad, rob, pheonix, and me
we live for the music that they create
its not for our family, supportive or not
its not for our friends who wouldn't understand
its for the music that was always there no matter how tough it got
our lives stay together to realize we're not alone
each of us separate let go of all that we despise
we all sing loud the words that echo from the microphone
we see linkin park playing wildly on the stage
we all lose the constant necessity to bleed
and in our hearts we begin to feel the rage
everyone knows the music is all we need

Dream

(To all the people that I've fought with, but still managed to be my friends.)

  I have a dream that holds me tight
I have a dream that holds me right
I have a dream that holds me when I’m scared at night
I have a dream that’s always there
I have a dream that’s there despite
Of a dream that was once forgotten
On a perfect night

16 Line Rhyme Missle

All this pain forming deep inside
I wonder how much longer I can hide
All these thoughts start to suffocate me
I think to myself how can this be
When did I develop all this stress
When did my life become such a mess
I feel like I'm about to explode
And I don't think it's too far down the road
Then I put on their CD
And I can hear me
In everything they say
The thoughts that I have day after day
I realize everything's going to be all right
That I no longer have to fight
I feel better than I've ever been
Finally I feel like I can breath again

A Life Is Saved

Traveling slowly through the field of life
a field full of
darkness,
sorrow,
tears.
A never ending field of lonleness.
Life brings a feeling inside my heart like an empty hole that
cannot be filled.
It makes me crazy that feeling inside that lingers deep within
every human soul.
Something is missing and cant be replaced by temporary
possesions
emotions
feelings
It cant be ignored or forgotten
tearing at the heart things I remember replay in my head
images and voices they wont seem to leave.
Undying wounds forever show.
They will not leave. I feel
alone...
scared
helpless
I know I cant live my dream
Crying alone in the night
with a knife in hand I hold it tight
I have been stabbed not by the knife but friends and enemies
throughout my life
I have been hurt physically but in also in a way that cant be
described no one understands
someone has scarred me for life
they've invaded my life and nothing seems right
nothings ever the same again
I feel ashamed of what happened to me
Theres no point in living I will put this to an end the pain hurts
me too much no one can help
My last living breaths are still continuing
when the knife soon drops my death is postponed
a voice like an angel calling
Telling me that every thing is alright some one truly understands
my pain
what I've been through
they know how it feels I cry holding on to radio until
the song
slowly ends
"Something has been taking from deep inside of me"
"A secret I've kept locked away no one can ever see"
"Wounds so deep they never show they never go away"
"Like moving pictures in my head for years and years they've played."
"Its easier to Run.....
A song with meaning
truth
understanding
My life is saved
a simple song has made a difference
The singer of the song does not realize he has saved a life
He has gone through the same and even worse
My dream is to meet him not for
pictures and autographs but a simple
thanks a thanks to
Chester Bennigton for saving a life
a tiny unimportant life
but still a life that has been saved.

Yesterday I Was Happy

yesterday i was happy,
today its gone away,
i wish it would come back,
come back to stay,
sometimes i feal theres nothing left for me,
sometimes i dont know wat true love could be,
how could i love so much but no one ever loves me back,
how could i feal so strongly for some one and then not know that,

how could some one inspire me so much that i feal like i can fly,
but yet i know i cant have them so instead i cry,
hwo can i live each day with being a part of your life,
i know the luckest person in the would is your wife,
you are the reason i live the reason i hang on,
because with out you id already be gone,

i still remember that day when i was crying and looked up to see you singing,
i was going to cut some more but then i started stinging ,
you helped me through all the stuff ive been throw,
and i mean it when i say that i truely love you !

So much rap...

(This poem [rap] inspired me after this dude said
he like the song Figure 0.9 and when i told him it
was by Mike Shinoda from Linkin Park, a rock band,
he got really mad (cause hes an all rap no rock
kinda person), and said that it was not a really good
song cause it was rock.)

  So much rap I've heard through all the years
One guy that has rapped through sorrow and tears
So much you can do with the Rap & Rock
So much this emcee can think up and make it lock
So many shits who try to jock his words,styles, and beats
Make up new lines to the rhymes like video game cheats
To many wanna-bes who try to rap with luck
But they just dont get it that their words and rhyme all suck
To many rappers today talk about drugs, sex, and booze
Try out for a battle but they only lose
Try to act like they got some lines
Make people think its real and confuse their minds
This boy growed up to be the man who got a push and a shove
But then he bent the mic cords and showed them bitches what he was made of
He made rhymes and rhythm combine
Somebody with real rap sence would know he came from Linkin Park with shine
Cause hes Mike Shinoda, hes the emcee that rapped up your favorite song
FIGURE O.9

All I Can Think...

all i can think about is the morning after
i sit here and wonder if it will come
some say it wont some say it will
who knows only time will tell
as the sound of linkin park gets louder and louder
the pains slowley go away and i fell enlightened
i fell like tomarrow will be here and it will all be given to whom
seek it so until tomarrow comes just listen to the
sound that takes away the pain and listen to the sound of
tomarrow and just listen to everything and realize
linkin park is HERE!!! So dont wake me untill the morning after...

My Pain

I look around for somewhere to go
But all I see is a picture of you.
You left to soon and I can’t get over the fact I,
Will have to let go and just say goodbye . 

My heart is broken and can’t be fixed,
You just keep throwing more pain and suffrage into the mix.
You don’t care when I ask you why,
You just smile at me and give no reply.
I won’t take it anymore
I’m going back to the life I had before
It won’t be easy, who said it would,
But I stood there and listened to all your falsehood,
While still putting all my trust in you.
I believed that all your lies were true.

You don’t understand the pain I felt,
But I hope you know this song is heartfelt.
The anger that I hold inside
Won’t let this pain subside.
I have to let you go
Cause now I see I was just a sideshow.
I thought that I was admired
But what you did to me just set my whole world on fire.
What I feel now I can’t explain
But you’re the one who made me feel my pain.
