It's been about a month since I've been here. Too much has been going on.Too much to say here, and more than anyone would care about. I haven't visited because the writing I have done would not be allowed to be posted. Not suicidal or anything(By the way, neither is this one)just very angry lyrics,think Eminem.

Giving Up

I have drowned my sorrows in too many things
Not worried about tomorrow, don’t care what it brings
I gave up on caring cause what did it do
It led me to pain and led me back to you
You, you’re the reason for my situation
My stress, my tears, emotional frustration
Now I’m not frustrated cause I gave up on my emotions
I told you I’ve been drowning ‘em in various magic potions
That’s the wrong thing to do, this much I know
But I’m out of options, got nowhere else to go
The problem with having a cold heart is that it doesn’t end there
Carries on into the rest of my life, my school, hurting my general welfare
I don’t even care about that anymore
It’s my life, don’t have to settle no score
How did you get so deep in my head
Killing me from inside, my heart goes dead
If I could tell you to leave I would have done it by now
I’ve searched for the words, for the past 6 months, but I don’t know how
If I don’t care long enough maybe you’ll go away
But I’ll still have to wake up to this for another day
When your heart goes cold, believe me you’ll know it
Ask your friends cause believe you’ll show it
I should have asked for help for this pain in my heart
But I should have known you weren’t the one from the very start

Hey, welcome back keoni. I noticed a distinct lack of your work around here. Good to have you back now.

Now this piece, very emotional and very strong. I love the scenario you have described with this person. I hope the pain begins to relieve itself of your body as feeling like crap isn't the best way to feel as I am sure you know.

Hey Jon Keoni! I remember you from wa~y back in the old days, when I was still new and amazing!
Now I'm the senior member! So obey me! haha...
Seriously, great poem man! This is definitely Keoni style at its best. You write very well, and quite uniquely. Would love to rip it apart, but I would dare not disgrace your work with my feeble comments.
Talk to you later, man.

Love this so much... Feeling and wording was really good. Hope you get through this trying time and keep your chin up.

Every action of our lives touches some chord that will vibrate in eternity.

Nicely done here......Keoni, I really connected with this. I know how it feels to be cold.......Sometimes I feel like a zombie.....not even alive, just this dead person walking around with one reason to live....the sake of living. Nothing more...
It's sad too....oh well.
But I loved this one.
GReat job!



I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

I'm in love with my shadow
I admire it daily
