What If? We've all been there. Crazy thoughts running through our heads. What if I wasn't here? This problem would be dead. But we try to stand strong. Reaching for that one thing that keeps us from going over the edge. No one seems to take our hands. They let us fall. Who would want to help someone who's gone crazy? But it's their own fault. They never reached out and saw our hearts. They pass judgement. Messed up in the head. It's all a game. A game we know to well. They don't see our tears. They don't hear our screams. All they see is the smile we fake to get through the day. And yet we wait. We wait for the day when they wake up and we are gone. Then the pain sets in. Our pain burns in them. The pain that made us take our own #life's. But together we could stand. Reach out your hand. Take theirs and never let go. Teach them the way. And maybe in the end they will learn to be okay. But today, is not that day. For he no longer holds our hand. He has gone because the pain is something he couldn't understand. And I think to myself, "What if I took his hand?"

Best friend We've been around the block a time a two. We've messed up and fallen down, too. We've counted on others to reach out a hand, but most of them time they don't help us stand. It's the people we meet who are here to stay. The ones you go forever without talking to and it all remains the same. The people who no matter what want to see a smile on your face. Those are the people who make you realize why you are here today. It's been a year now since we started being friends. And I can tell no matter what we will always make amends. The people we've both encountered have changed us for the best. And I can already tell you are a better friend then the rest. Grateful is an understatement. Thankful is not yet enough. I will never be able to tell you how much I appreciate all you have done.

This Way I heard the rain fall, the thunder sound and saw the lighting spark. I heard the night cry, and saw the days grow dark. I found the dead dreams, the crushed love, and a broken soul. I found the #lifeless body with no one to hold. When I opened my eyes, I realized what was standing before me. Nothing more than a shiny piece of glass with a reflection of no one other than me. In that reflection I saw a creature I'd never seen before. I never saw how broken I had become. The fact that no matter how hard I tried was never enough. Everyday went by as though I did something wrong. Until one day, I finally had enough. I told myself I'd be okay. I told myself to walk away. I always thought one day, you would come back my way. But when I reflect, I see how much better things are this way. I visited my reflection once more, only this time, I saw much more. I found the dead dreams returning to #life, the crushed love being revived, and a broken soul once more mended. I found the #lifeless body with no one to hold, once more filled with pure happiness and joy along with a warm hand to hold. I've never smiled brighter. I've never realized what it felt like to be loved. I've never held something so close to my heart. I've never been able to trust someone so much. I've never been happier to say he holds my heart. Now, when ever I smile, I think of your face. No matter how much pain you caused, you are the one who has brought me to this wonderful place. Despite the pain, I'm glad I was just a stepping stone so you could get on your way. In the end, I know everything is just meant to be this way.

Promise The words "I promise" very seldom slip through my teeth. But when they do, I know it's something I can keep. Why is it that all humans don't think this way? Maybe it's because they don't know the true pain or the heartache they bring. A broken promise is something no one should ever see. Some people believe promises are the key. One broken promise soon leads to three. Then that three soon grows more branches than a tree. A promise is something we were taught young. Promises back then were something to which we clung. A small heartbreak happened when a promise wasn't kept. But when we are young, we learn to accept it. As we grow up broken promises , are something we expect. A promise made is like nothing more than a waste of air. But a broken promise to me, is something I can not bare. It makes a tear in my heart that can't be repaired. I would have never cared so much if it wasn't you who broke every promise you declared. One after another, like rain drops falling from the dark clouds above. But eventually they stop, unlike you, you continued to let them drop. Every promise I hear breaks my heart in two. One side saying its true. The other side saying, don't let them do this to you. "Believe them or not?" That's the question that continues to repeat in my head like some kind of sick beat. I want to believe but at the same time I can't handle the pain. That's why I decide to not believe a word they say.

Broken I heard the rain fall, the thunder sound and saw the lighting spark. I heard the night cry, and saw the days grow dark. I found the dead dreams, the crushed love, and a broken soul. I found the #lifeless body with no one to hold. When I opened my eyes, I realized what was standing before me. Nothing more than a shiny piece of glass with a reflection of no one other than me. In that reflection I saw a creature I'd never seen before. I never saw how broken I had become. The fact that no matter how hard I tried was never enough.
