Beautiful Boy

I wrote this for my youngest brother. He's four years old right now. Please comment with any kind of feedback!



Sweet, charming, smart, wonderful, beautiful boy

Born in July

The smile of sunshine

Laughter like the sound of life

Blue eyes of a clear, summer sky

Warm, loving embraces

That make the whole world stop

And center around this little angel that fell from the stars

Make our hearts fill up with love for you

You’re a special one in every way
Without you life could never be as great
It would be so dull and dim without your radiant light
Little boy you are a blessing to us
You are a gift to everyone
Don’t ever think that you are not loved
Never believe in giving up
You will reach all your goals
You will live all your wildest dreams
Become all you desire to be
Realize how amazing you are
Never worry about pleasing others
Or living up to what you do not want to be
Be yourself
Be whoever you may be
Always do what is best for you
Be generous and kind
But do what you know is right
Do not let anyone bring you down
Tell you that you are not good enough
Or will not succeed
Live with all the life you have
Love with all your heart
Never regret any choices you make
Always be proud of who you are
And know that I, and many others will forever love you more than you will have ever thought possible.

Save Me

Any kind of feedback is helpful.


I need help
Someone please rescue me
I can’t cry out for help
I will not speak
The answer lies in the roaring silence
Listen closely to the sound of no noise
Then you might hear the whispers of those who have betrayed me
Who left me alone in regret and loneliness
My heart filled up with emptiness
The color of my eyes are fading
The blood in my veins are draining
My skin is sickly pale
My thoughts are becoming thin
Words becoming meaningless
My soul is rotting from inside out
My spirit is shattered
There’s no use trying to fly with broken wings
I’m falling into nothingness
Into a prison of unhappiness
I write my pain upon the giant walls the keep me here
Trapped in sorrow
I softly sing in a trembling voice to block out the screams above me
Yet I am not afraid of the knives that cut me in my sleep
Some say that pain makes a person stronger
But that cannot be true
For I cannot get my hopes up
They are buried underground
I am endlessly lost in time
Light becomes all too bright
The darkness is my savior
The darkness is safety
The darkness has saved me.

Mask

Please give any type of feedback.


Smiling is painful
But it keeps the tears from spilling over
I will play the roll of happiness
Pretending that I don’t cry
Block out my emotions
It makes myself seem stronger
I am not dying inside
I am not hiding away
I lie
Because, as far as they know,
I am fine
The mask is a happy face
The mask makes me a liar
The true me has never been content
My appearance is a pretty smile
Calm and controlled
Under the surface I am alone and afraid
I shall only show you what you desire to see
If you knew the truth
I would disappear
The mask is medicine
It heals my scars
At least for now
Until I break down
The mask is growing on me
I long to break free
I do not know how
The mask is seeping into my skin
Do not let me become unfeeling
I don’t want to be numb
But I cannot stand pain
And happiness feels so unreal
It never lasts
It is a big bright bubble
And it dies with a sudden “pop”
I cannot let it dieI peel off the mask
I see the world with my eyes
I am rid of the masks clutches and lies
Here is me
The real me
Take in the fresh air
Breathe.

Broken

This is a poem I wrote a few months ago. Please give any kind of feedback that you think would be helpful or something that you liked about this piece.

Every morning patch up the wounds on your heart
Every night restitch the scars on your soul
Create depression in day to day dullness
Find relief in freshley cut pain
Seach for the one who places the real, true smile upon your face
The only one that could save you from never waking up again
That one is never found
There is a spark of hope deep down somewhere inside of you
That you would deny if ever given chance to say
Your lips hold a broken, unsincere smile
For your eyes are screaming anger and regret
Right behind those eyes are dark secrets
Forever kept locked inside your mind
Your laughter is a lie
Why are your days filled with sadness?
Because, what you feel is so untrue?
Real love is lost
The love, in your eyes, is never to be found
You do not see happiness anymore
It is not there
The ones who do not know you do not understand
They have not been through the undiscovered agony that has placed itself inside of you
Their disapproving whispers echo in your brain
They cannot comprehend how you would harm yourself
But you understand it as your escape
Something that is real
So struggle through the dark devastation
As you desperately wait for the one to take you away from the misery
Your life, love, and once free spirit are broken
