Drugs, Religion, Depression, etc...
These are the depressing poems. I like writing these, because
If people ever get into something that feels odd to them
then they can read and realize what is going on in their heads.
It's good Therapy!

Booster
You told me that I'm worthless, You told me that I'm fat.
You told me that I'd never amount to anything.
And you know what? you're right. In your eyes.
Anything that you ever think of me, will never phase me, because they are your thoughts.
They aren't fact, just your opinion, and nobodies opinion of me will ever change
the way I feel about myself, Because I'm my own person.

The Game of the Mind
Things aren't what they seem to be,
I go through life showing people somebody I'm not.
hoping to find someone to care, Is there anybody there?
one person answers.
I try to believe that one when they say they care, but it's hard to.
Maybe they're just as scared as me, afraid that the world will fall apart
not for anyone else , just me, in my mind.
A mind that finds it hard to think for itself at times,
a mind that has been pulled in every direction but up,
and a mind that has been abused and overused.
I feel like I'm a target for the worst. a target for everyone to take a shot at. So many do.
I guess that's my purpose here.
Something for so many to play games with.
In the end nobody wins, they go on with their lives and leave me to deal with a life that was never there to begin with.
There is only one thing that can help me now, and that is the one thing that keeps it's distance,
so it can tease me with all the good things in life that I never did, and never will have.

The Person Before You
Take a look at the person before you, and tell me what you see.
Is she someone who is very outgoing and sets her spirit free?
Is she someone who is happy, and always on the run/
And no matter where the party is, she always makes things fun.
Is she someone who is friendly, and someone you'd like to know?
Or someone who has no problems and always goes with the flow?
If you think that, you are wrong. But please don't get upset,
cause the person that's before you is just the opposite.

LSD (script for a play)
Well, well, well. Aren't I special?
I'm so popular, they made a song about me. Thanks for calling, now that I'm here I'll set you free.
What's my name? LSD! I'm 100 times better than coke or PCP.
You look kind of lonely, do you need a friend? All the others will let you down, but I'll be here in the end.
You don't use me. I use you. I'll control your every move.
You have no worries when you're with me. Just think of all the good times I can bring.
After all, what's your doubt? It's so hard to get hooked, that's what I'm about.
So, what do you say, how bout a try? Lick this cube or put this drop in your eye.
You can take me in any way. Only a few hours my effects will stay.
I'm one of the good guys, I cure alcoholics, I'm used to treat cancer, and even schizophrenics.
I help with anxiety, and emotional tension, I fix any fear of death, and even Isolation.
My effects are profound and very strong. Are you feeling my trip yet? It shouldn't take long.
Soon I'll take over and your pupils will enlarge. Your heart will start pounding, and you'll start breathing hard.
OH! I forgot. I should have asked. To take me in you can't be depressed. Cause if you are (and this isn't a lie)
a "bad trip" will happen and you'll wish you'd die.
All fears will kick in and you'll start to shake, but I hope you realize, you're not dreaming this quake.
You'll feel like a roller coaster going round and round, and then you'll feel like you're tied to the ground.
Look at you, you sorry joke! you fell for my trick, you'd be better off smoking dope.
But hey, after all, that will never compare, to the hole in your head that I'm going to tear.
In months you'll have flashbacks that are even worse, and you better hope you don't end up in a hearse.
Are you feeling faint? Please don't pass out! I'm not done telling you what I'm all about.
you're probably too focused on the things you're seeing. It's all a daze and you'll think you're dreaming.
What I can't wait to see is all the anger, watching your mood change, and putting others in danger.
Are the walls breathing, can you see the sounds? can you taste the colors? it wont be long now.
You'll experience it all. the good, and the bad. You'll feel angry, helpless, happy, and sad.
Well, I gotta go now, but enjoy your trip. Just remember, with me you don't get gypped.
OH! one last thing before I say good-bye.
Next time you're lonely, buy me and I'll show you the true meaning of "high"!

I'd rather Be
I'd rather be right than popular,
to be in the company of an earnest few
who respect me for the integrity of my character
than to be in the crowd of sycophants
whose every flattering word is saccharin-coated poison
to draw me into their favor.
To say yes when my conscience agreed, and no when it did not.
To answer every person directly, honestly, sincerely.
To bring no willful harm to another,
to aid each as I am able. To know that when I died,
I owed no debt of kindness but to have given it in such excess
that even a stranger should say, God rest her soul.

Who Cares?
Hands want to feel, mind has to feel.
no response, eyes closing sadly.
hands reach upon face for tears, but there are none where they should be
Is this what you want, to destroy me?
Oh no, I know, I brought this upon myself, right?
I don't want to hear it anymore.
ears no longer hear, eyes no longer see, eyes turn away from others
mind cares no more, face twists in grief
sadness lining eyes hardens, And somewhere, some one cares.
yeah right!
who cares anyways.
withering, wallowing,
suffering absolute torture
