 Topic  Ode to self 
 Message  I’m finding that nearly everybody on here has at least one write in which they are upset with themselves for not listening to oneself, or something along that sort. Which made me think that everybody (no offense) here is messed up to some degree, only some people actaully admit it( cough, cough), so this is a challenge to write something to yourself, I"ll start since, I seem to be the most messed up. My drummer says manson, danzig, zombie, and eminem are gonna say my shyt’s sick, so yeah. please take this, and only constructive criticism, that way everybody feels welcome to write, please.

 Message  alright, thanx. sorry you’re going through the same shyt, it sux. I’m not necessarily one to hand out advice(just look at my situation) however from my experience the first thing is to realize(which you’ve done) second is to try and figure out to what extent and/or as to why? As far as getting through(the hardest part; but if you’re going through hell, keep on walking) be as real as you can to everybody including yourself, putting on a face is a full time job, and by caring to that degree about other people creates mass inner turmoil(trust me, it’s easier said than done, and takes time and effort, and though i’m not well, i am better) be honest, especially with yourself, catch your own lies, only than can you get through in a healthy manner. also; obviousily I write and talk with anonymous people ie; you. who aren’t going to judge me, and have no idea who i really am, and hence i’ve no worries, about it getting back to me in a negative manner. hope that helps, it’s what has/is working for me, take care, and go head hit me up anytime, peace

 Message  “Why Don’t you see I’m TRYING!
Why Can’t you see I’m DYING!
Can’t you see that, I’m still LIEING!
Cause I’m still in the Great Below” –

I wish you could hear the screams
In silence
Wish you knew what I really said
Between the lines
Would love for you too listen to?
Your own mind
Why can’t you see the suffering;
Of your demise

All these shouts, are they in vain?!
All these words driving me insane
Tell you now this aint no game
Listening was never more now or never

Why don’t you hear the words I speak?
Can’t you find the message I seek?
To you these words don’t mean a thing
But to us both it envelops everything
Another lost message to me/myself
Can’t hear my pleas for help
All these writes, words and thoughts
To me prevailing, but myself so lost
Do you understand, do you see?
This isn’t right, an ode to me
Never to now, now to whenever
This ‘ill just be an ill-conceived endeavor
Forever gone into the never…
