Candle Light

Candle Light

A Poem by Cateline Cossette

Life's fucked up 

It’s not fair


We’re always alone

No one cares


Everyone just assumes

Nothing is wrong

It’s not right


We’re the ones left alone

We’re the ones who suffer

While they live in peace


They lie when we do nothing wrong

They laugh when we cry

They breathe  when we die


Sweet girl
Don't shed another single tear
Those b*****s don't know what you've seen
They don't know what you've felt

Forever in shadows {Crying} 


We live in agony

Lost

Lonely

Cold

Alone


It’s not f*****g fair

We live our fucked up lives

While they live in harmony 


We cry

We smile and laugh

When we secretly live in woe


What’s wrong?

Are we really so bad to deserve this s****y life?


They smile

They enjoy life

They laugh at us

They don’t get us


We’re stuck

Endlessly crying, cutting so deep

 

{Each drop of blood brings me closer to the end.}


Endlessly remembering what made us this way

We will never forget

How they made us

Into these outcasts


We’re bullied

We’re teased

We’re alone


We live in this never ending nightmare

We die all on our own

But yet our hearts still beat

Even if we don’t want to breathe again


They won’t let us die

They won’t help us

They don’t care

They never knew

They never saw

They never understood


We saw

We heard

We cried

We cut


We lie to hide ourselves

We pretend everyday

That nothing is wrong

When we know we’re dying

Even if our hearts still beat


We’re alone in this world

No one can help us

We keep losing ourselves

They slowly took us apart
 
{I won't give in to this fight.} 

We hear silent screams


We tune out the world

We shut everyone out

We’re left alone

Screaming when loud music is on

So no one ever knows


We’re locked up

Hidden from the world

Can’t be ourselves anymore


Stuck in the empty spaces

All alone

In the corner


No one else to hear our cries

No one else to see our suffering

No one else sees our pain

That shows in our eyes


Nothing can change the way things are
{But I will still f*****g try, it's not fair!} 


They will always laugh and tease us

We will remain bullied 


Forever in the dark


Our tears stay hidden


We’re more alive at night

That’s when we become alive


Our beauty never shows in the light


{But I see it.} 


No one can save us from the dark corners

It’s too late for us now, they’ve locked us up


We’re locked up from the world while they laugh

We will cry until the end of our lifetimes 


{Forever, forever.}


We’re lost in our painful memories we’re lost forever forever

No one ever sees us suffering or ever hears our cries ever never


Forever

Forever

Alone

Alone


It’s not right! 


{And no one can do a thing about it.}


We always cry

We always cut


No one ever knows

No one knows the story of our lives

No one sees our pain

Hidden deep in our eyes


We cry

We cut

We die


Yet our hearts still beat


"Damn, just cut this beating thing out of me"


"I’ve had enough!"


It’s not fair

We always stay alone

In the dark

F**k this life

I’m going to end the ways things are!

It’s not fair


Forever

Is now ending


{I’m here.}


I know what it’s like

You don’t have to cry

You don’t have to hide


I get it

I know

I’ve seen

I’ve bleed

I’ve cried

I’ve cut


I’ve fallen into the dark

I’ve lost myself

I still have yet to find myself


I don’t see the light

But I see a way around the dark


I’ll be your candle light

If you’re scared

Don’t be ashamed

I am too


I’ll take the pain go away slowly

You have to try to let me in


I will care

I will listen

I will not ignore

I will try my best

To get you out of this fucked up life


Promise me

You’ll never try suicide


I’ll take your hand

And guide around the dark

I’ll be your candle light


I truly believe

I can help you

I wanna hold you


I wanna make the suffering go away

I wanna kiss the scars away 

I wanna take away the pain away


Don't believe all the fake b*****s out there

They are full of lies


But you have got to try

Hear me out


I know what’s it like

Maybe I don’t know what’s like to be you

But I did go through the darkness too


I can try

If you want me to


They run their mouths

As if there were no tomorrow


Don’t believe what they say

They’re only jealous, of you


They want to make become someone else


I’ll be the candle light

Guiding you away from the dark


I can’t promise that your life will be perfect afterwards

But I can tell you

Once you’ve escaped

From the depths of loneliness

Nothing will hurt

Not as much as they did before



They might try to drag you back

Don’t let them even try


It doesn’t matter if you’re flawed

Everyone is uniquely flawed

We’re all beautifully flawed


No one’s perfect


When they try to bring you back into the dark

Shake them off


They don’t know you

They can’t judge you

And if they do, it’s all lies and you know it


They don’t know you, they can’t understand

Take my hand


I’ll help you out of the dark


Step by step

The sorrow will end

Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but sooner than you think


Once you’ve healed

You can help others out of the dark as well

One by one, we won’t be all alone anymore


Forever

Forever

Has come to an end.

If you've ever felt alone, I think this might help. It's for ANYONE... just because you feel depressed or lonely, or suicidal, doesn't make you emo or goth.
