I go to the roof of a 7-floor apartment building,
I walk to the edge and look at the passing cars
I hope no one notices me
I talk to myself about the things that would make me jump
Bad relationships, no job, death of a loved one, nagging parents
The list goes on and on
I talk to myself about the things that you keep me alive
My family, my poetry, my dogs, my understanding teachers
The list goes on and on
As for now the temptation
Of jumping, ending my life
Seems so far away; downward
I ask myself,
"Where do you see yourself in 10 years?"
If I jump...
I'd be in a graveyard
My loved ones would still be morning my tragic suicide
If I backed off...
I'd be living life
May be going to a picnic with my family
I say to myself,
"Will you go to that picnic?"
Yes, is my answer, I will go to that picnic
I take a few steps backward
I lay down on my stomach
With my head resting on my folded arms
My head perched out passed the edge of the roof
This is peace in a way
Found by my own regrets
Bound together by my life

The Difference
Last night; I laid in my bed and thought
My life is boring
I wake up
I go to school
Do homework
Do chores
Eat dinner
And go to bed
You might say my life is set in stone
IT'S NOT
I want something new, fresh, different
I don't want my mom's life
I want to party, have fun, be free
I don't want to be time restricted
I want to set my own schedule
I don't want to me called a kid
I want to grow up in my own way
I don't want someone to tell me what I can't do
I want someone to believe in me
But as of right now my thoughts are just...
thoughts
And my life is just...

Home
I come home
I try to rest
but rest seems unreachable
I'd get up
but my body is weak from lack of sleep
I wonder how my night will fly by
Out-of-no where
my body falls over in a deep sleep
Finally I get the sleep I need
That's until being Abruptly awakened
by mom's yelling in the hall
After this i don't go back to sleep
I am awake for hours
This Is My HOME
I try to rest
but rest seems unreachable
I'd get up

I wonder how my night will fly by
Out-of-no where

Finally I get the sleep I need
That's until being Abruptly awakened
by mom's yelling in the hall
After this i don't go back to sleep
I am awake for hours
This Is My HOME

My 4 walls
The first wall:
Laughs with me
Cries with me
The second wall:
Prays with me
Swears with me
The third wall:
Comforts me
Gives me hell
The forth wall:
Makes me happy
Makes me sad
Laughs with me
Cries with me
The second wall:
Prays with me
Swears with me
The third wall:
Comforts me
Gives me hell
The forth wall:
Makes me happy
Makes me sad
Mental Image
I'M STANDING ON THE EDGE OF A ROOF
SOMEWHERE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE CITY
I JUMP
THE WIND MAKING ME DRIFT AS I FALL CLOSER TOWARDS
NEW YORK'S HEAVY TRAFFIC
AND THEN,
LIKE MAGIC I AM SUSPENDED IN THE AIR
THE TRAFFIC,
GETS NO CLOSER AND NO FARTHER AWAY
THIS IS PEACE
THIS IS WHAT I'VE BEEN SEARCHING FOR
THEN I WAKE UP,
ONLY TO REALIZE THAT IT WAS ONLY A DAYDREAM
AND I AM STILL,
STUCK IN REALITY
SOMEWHERE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE CITY
I JUMP
THE WIND MAKING ME DRIFT AS I FALL CLOSER TOWARDS
NEW YORK'S HEAVY TRAFFIC
AND THEN,
LIKE MAGIC I AM SUSPENDED IN THE AIR
THE TRAFFIC,
GETS NO CLOSER AND NO FARTHER AWAY
THIS IS PEACE
THIS IS WHAT I'VE BEEN SEARCHING FOR
THEN I WAKE UP,
ONLY TO REALIZE THAT IT WAS ONLY A DAYDREAM
AND I AM STILL,
STUCK IN REALITY
The Tunnel
I'm in a tunnel.
I can barely see a light,
It's faint.
It seems to be getting closer.
I start to run.
The light,
Gets hazy.
It drifts away.
I stop and fall to my knees.
I weep in sorrow.
It's gone.
My only hope of leaving this tunnel.
It's GONE.
AND I'M STUCK in here for yet another night.
I can barely see a light,
It's faint.
It seems to be getting closer.
I start to run.
The light,
Gets hazy.
It drifts away.
I stop and fall to my knees.
I weep in sorrow.
It's gone.
My only hope of leaving this tunnel.
It's GONE.
AND I'M STUCK in here for yet another night.
Finding Glory
Breaking free
Letting GO
Taking hold of what i have
And I'm not letting GO
I'M NOT SLIPPING
AWAY AGAIN
NOT THIS TIME
NOT EVER AGAIN
Cuz' I'M FINDING GLORY
AND I'M NOT LETTING GO
------------------ --------------------- Cuz' I'M NOT
------------------ --------------------- FALLING IN THAT
------------------------- --------------------- ------- ABYSS AGAIN
IT'S SCARY
IT'S DARK
AND IT'S NOT GLORY
Letting GO
Taking hold of what i have
And I'm not letting GO
I'M NOT SLIPPING
AWAY AGAIN
NOT THIS TIME
NOT EVER AGAIN
Cuz' I'M FINDING GLORY
AND I'M NOT LETTING GO
------------------ --------------------- Cuz' I'M NOT
------------------ --------------------- FALLING IN THAT
------------------------- --------------------- ------- ABYSS AGAIN
IT'S SCARY
IT'S DARK
AND IT'S NOT GLORY
Wonderer
I wonder off
into a corner
And cry to myself
I cry about
the simple things
the stolen things
I cry about
my life
my innocence
For you must surely see
I am nothing but a teenager
caught in a dilemma
You see my dilemma is
that I cry too much
And there's too many choices for me
You see
I am nothing but a teenager
caught in my own Identity crisis
into a corner
And cry to myself
I cry about
the simple things
the stolen things
I cry about
my life
my innocence
For you must surely see
I am nothing but a teenager
caught in a dilemma
You see my dilemma is
that I cry too much
And there's too many choices for me
You see
I am nothing but a teenager
caught in my own Identity crisis
The Boy who Broke my Heart
...who stole my heart
...who kept the key
...and never gave it back
...who named me his
...who gave me his love
...who gave me his promise
...I stole his heart
... I threw the key into the ocean
...and never gave it back
...I named him mine
...I gave him my love
...I gave him my promise
And he still broke
my
heart
...who kept the key
...and never gave it back
...who named me his
...who gave me his love
...who gave me his promise
...I stole his heart
... I threw the key into the ocean
...and never gave it back
...I named him mine
...I gave him my love
...I gave him my promise
And he still broke
my
heart
