Standing In Silence...

It’s so difficult,
To overcome something
This bad, when,
Everywhere I go,
There is no help.
School…no good.
Home…even worse.
Yes you may be there,
But I’m still lonely.
You see this smile?
It’s nothing but a mask.
A cover-up, a lie…
Everything that’s said –
Just a reminder of the past.
You aren’t here,
When I sit down,
And pour my heart out
Into this notebook,
With tears staining the paper.
I’m stuck in a rut,
I won’t seem to budge.
I keep calling and calling,
But still….no help will come.
I see a dozen red roses,
Sitting on the table, and I know,
They’re not for me.
And the onslaught of tears,
Pours harder than ever…

Slipping further and further away,
From all of you now.
Faster and faster everyday,
As fast as speed allows…

I hate everything about you!
Why do I love you?
You hate everything about me!
Why do you love me?~3 Days Grace

I agree somewhat with the other comments, this is a really good and powerful piece, especially these lines:
"I see a dozen red roses,
Sitting on the table, and I know,
They’re not for me."
superb!!!
hmmmmm
actually they would make a pretty powerful little poem all on their own don't you think
