i'm not really depressed
and i'm not suicidal
so why do i feel this way?
why won't the emptiness go away?

you hear people say all the time
that you're meant to find something
or someone that keeps you going
but what if i die without knowing?

surely not everyone can have the same fate
and maybe i'm one of those people
that was meant to be an example, to everyone
maybe i'm nothing more than a bastard son

if i sound bitter or angry, really i'm not
but confused and hollow, is rather what i feel
in the end, no one will really remember
and yet i feel sad, like an outcasted member

time and love, heals all wounds, or so they say
but everyone always has something, that is so cliche
maybe some of us, aren't meant to find anything in life
but rather just live in die, in complete strife

i have these words, but nobody to hear them
i'm hiding behind these walls, away from it all
i've felt this pain for far too long
and at last, well, for now, i give you this song

oh...thats pretty good

Very deep w/great expression.Good write.

thanks,
of course it's only deep
because it's true :(

I like this hits a spot I got to left and right all day!

Within these walls you will find a family
of people that differ from happiness to sadness,
from wit to madness... all and all we write,
we exspress, we listen, and comfort each other.

Yeah sure feelings suck and aren't always there. It sure does help to write about them though and share with others who have felt the same. A song I found recently that fits this mood for me is by

The Bravery, called:


Above And Below

Sometimes I feel like I wanna leave this place for good
Under the ground – I'll live down there without a sound
And never hear these hissing voices all the same
I'll disappear 'cause living makes me feel ashamed
I must believe there's more above us and below
I must believe, stranded with this b*tch called hope
It keeps me here when all I wanna do is go
It keeps me here when all I wanna do is disappear

If this is it
All we have and ever will
If this is it
Time is running out and standing still
I'll leave today, 'cause there's nothing left to keep me here
I'll fade away, I'll turn my back and disappear

The city moans, it lunges up right from the ground
The seething earth, it opens up and spits us out
It's a vicious child, nature never wanted us
This vicious child, a cancer burning black into its heart
If this is it – all we have and ever will
If this is it – time is running out and standing still
I'll leave today, 'cause there's nothing left to keep me here
I'll fade away, I'll turn my back and disappear

Just remember that this is only a feeling, though... and shouldn't dictate whether you continue breathing or not. Not all of life sucks, just some of it.
