Dry All These Tears
Posted on 14. May, 2012 by editor in Poems, Youth Corner
If only you could see all the lies
Buried deep within my soul
That I have hidden from this world
And put into a dark cold hole
They are hidden from the naked eye
That may explode from beneath the seam
And maybe soon you’ll see the truth
From the light that it will start to scream
Because my mind is a broken place
That I myself can’t understand
I can’t control the things it thinks
Or all the feelings it can withstand
Joy and laughter have no place
In a heart that is confused
From pretending to be okay with life
When it was hurt from being used
So maybe I’ll sleep safe and sound
And escape from all of my fears
Just one dose of letting go
That will soon dry all these tears

Nameless
Posted on 09. May, 2012 by editor in Poems, Youth Corner
It’s been determined that love has come from someone far above.
Honestly after all the pain and suffering is there really something to be proud of?
But with all facts straight it is, in all senses, as painful as a morning dove.
Sadly teenagers always find it best to rush in at full speed.
The heart cannot be stopped; it’s like a mystical stampede.
Once you find that special someone though, love is guaranteed.
As much dedication and devotion I produced, I was given back no remorse.
But now after I took as long as I did in the game, I think I found my course.
The last relationship hurt, so I have come to the thought; it was my last divorce.
There is no chance of me ending up in the arms of a friend crying.
Your love, honest and true, shouldn’t be a position that I am buying.
Honestly for as long as we’ve known each other, why are you still lying?
Keep Going

Here I sit, alone again
All these feelings flooding through my head
They never leave me
Like the wind that’s blowing
I feel it but I never can control it, no…
Does this mean I am weak?
The way I am right now
Is not the way I wanna be
I guess it’s time to make a change somehow
Chorus
So I’m heading down a road
Some place that I know
Something familiar, hoping the day gets clearer
if I’m shadowed by the night
I will find a light, ’cause I’ll
Keep going, keep, keep going
So when I’m feeling all alone
I’ll know times are gonna be better
I plan to catch up with the world again
No matter how much it takes
Or how long it’ll be by then
I will be patient, ‘ cause it’ll pay off in the end
And the way I am right now
Is not the way I wanna be
I guess it’s time to make a change now
Chorus
I am heading down a road
Some place that I know
Something familiar, hoping the day gets clearer
if I’m struggling to fight
With all my might I’ll
Keep going, keep, keep going
**scat chorus
I’ll be heading down a road
Somehow I know I’ll always be going
I’ll keep going on
Night’s true darkness
Posted on 24. Apr, 2012 by editor in Poems, Youth Corner
With each passing moment, someone dies but as well is reborn,
Darkness is what has come from light and has been cast into the shadows,
Without light could there be darkness?
Even light itself casts a shadow with but a small substance,
But darkness does not provide light.
Darkness brings out the true hatred of a person’s soul.
No one is without the power to hate,
But there are those without the ability to love.
Explain how darkness is everything yet nothing.
If we did would there be such a thing as hatred?
If we accepted the dark facts of life,
Would it be as bad as we proclaim it to be?
They can be gentle as well as fearful.
What we must grasp is the illusion of fear,
And turn fear itself in to confidence on which we may stand.
Abusive Relationships

This is for you the boy who broke some hearts
that silly boy who ripped it to parts
here’s another song just for you
I’ll drown away my sorrow
I’ll take another sip
You’ve stripped me of emotion
I’ll just bite my lip
Even when I’m smiling
I’m crying on the inside
Every time I laugh
it’s a mask so I might hide
This is for you the boy who broke my heart
you, the stupid boy who ripped it apart
here’s one last song only for you
I may start to scream
excuse me if I yell
you tore me at the seam
you’ve made my life hell
I’ll cry as I have been hurt
I can’t lie anymore
you treated me like dirt
At times I feel so alone
who’s here standing next to me
will anyone help
who will that be
When was wrong ever right
I’ve seen you try to talk
yet, it always turns into a fight
I never asked to be abused
I wanted love
I never asked to be bruised
I wanted love
This is for you the boy who broke my heart
let me open your eyes to a cycle we let start
here’s one last song just for you
here’s one last song to say we’re through

Being downsized by you,
Only makes me decide my fate,
You’re the one that strives me to fight,
I go on but only for you.
I would have only yet have fallen,
As though a machine without the gears,
Would eventually rust and fall apart,
Disintegrating slowly.
for if you were the one who felt like this,
Would you consider it the same?
Would you consider changing your actions?
Would you say you’re sorry?
Or would you do what is intended as to follow right till the end.
Weakness
Posted on 29. Mar, 2012 by editor in Poems, Youth Corner
It floods deep within, into every inch that makes me whole.
I wonder and worry of thought throughout the day,
What is to come, to my dismay.
As a flood of tears pour out of me in all my expressions,
more and more comes, more and more depression.
But who am I fooling?
Then I burst into a spirit of rage.
I have questions, and there are answers.
But I’m afraid and much too weak,
When I try to explain,
I hear I’m hearing wrong and need to be meek.
But as I battle with myself, I always lose the fight.
But as I said “This is how I feel”
The pain in me is very real.
I lose control, my thoughts go wild,
And here I am only a child.
If only you knew what I thought,
If only you knew what I fought.
I need my thoughts held captive.

And with our help you can achieve any milestone
never be afraid to show the world who you really are
Compared to everyone else you’re nothing less then par
some of the experiences we have shared have been mutual
From our warm loving hearts you are nothing but beautiful
My father laughs at me in that state finding himself amused
he starts insulting me and I call him out on being rude
little did I know that I would be brutally subdued
so eventually I find myself grabbing for my knife
I’ve lost all self respect and value for life
And with our help you can achieve any milestone
never be afraid to show the world who you really are
Compared to everyone else your nothing less then par
some of the experiences we have shared have been mutual
From our warm loving hearts you are nothing but beautiful
and no one is around to hear me weep
how could you ever understand this pain
my only friend is the gentle sound of the rain
How could I let my soul corrupt and become rotten
I want to take my life and wish to be forgotten.
and we know it can be from something that snaps
We will be here to assist through the pain
around us you wont be treated inhumane
dont count yourself out simply just believe
around us love is the only thing you will receive
What is body image?
Posted on 05. Dec, 2011 by editor in Body Image, FAQ
Body image is about how you feel or see yourself. It’s not about how you look. People’s body image can change throughout their lifetime.
How can I feel good about myself?
Posted on 02. Dec, 2011 by editor in Body Image, FAQ
It’s important to do things that make us feel good. One thing you could do is the body image booster, which can help people feel better about themselves. Doing things that you enjoy, spending time with people that you like and thinking about things that you’re good at or like about yourself are all ways to feel better about yourself. Sometimes we feel bad about ourselves because of what people say about us or the messages we see and hear in the media. It’s important to be critical of what we see and hear, and remember that YOU ROCK!
