    So
    I look at this paper for hours, trying to write
    Something that supposedly will make me feel alright
    Something that'll help me get through the night
    Something that will hopefully get me over this fight
    That's going on inside my mind, day in and day out
    Causing absolutely miserable never-ending doubt
    And it's one of the things that I just can't stand
    And it's one of things that I don't understand
    Simply impossible to comprehend
    As if there's no end to the bends and twists that come out and in
    I guess you can't really describe what I'm going through
    It's not something I could easily describe to you
    But if you'd ever like to know, I'll be glad to let you know
    And let show what I have to go through, but although
    It's so painful to vent, it's harder to keep it in
    And I'd rather let the whole world know how I pretend
    That I'm not in pain, and that things are okay
    And I get through without anger and hatred everyday
    And that nobody truly knows what I go through
    And everything I say or do is made up on cue
    And the only way to possibly feel much better
    Is to write things down or to break things altogether
    But it gets to the point where I just can't take it
    And it gets to the point where I just won't fake it
    And this is the last time that I'll explain this through
    So sit down and listen as I describe this to you

    Have you ever felt upset to the point where you just broke
    Like an overheated glass, or soda overflow
    And your anger spilled like the carbonation and spilled on those
    Who you loved and became the ones you hated, your foes
    Well, for me it happens all the time and it breaks me even more
    I've been broken so many times I can't take much more
    And I don't know what'll happen when I reach the limit
    And whether I'll be able to handle it or if I'll have to deal with it
    I guess it's just a matter of time
    Until I reach the last line, and finish my last pessimistic rhyme
    Maybe it's all in my head, but I really don't know
    It's hard to admit, but it's easier to say no
    I can't let go of everything I've done
    All the times I tried to hide away or run
    All the times I thought it'd go away
    That it wouldn't stay, if I didn't think about it everyday
    I was wrong, and all the pain stayed for so long
    Neglecting it was a mistake, thinking forgetting it would have it gone
    But it cost me much of my life and left me scars
    And I regret how I didn't put my mind to good use from the start
    But we all make mistakes, no matter how big or small
    No matter what we do we can't avoid making them at all
    Everyday gives us a lesson to learn
    Consequences we earn from things we make occur
    I think we all get to the point where things fall apart
    All the easy things we do become so hard
    And everything we found funny isn't anymore
    We don't care about things that we cared about before
    We're convinced that nobody really cares
    That we say false prayers and that life isn't fair
    But everybody we know gets a share of the pain
    And it's like we don't care, like we hurt them to gain
    A sense of confidence that we so desperately need
    In a time where all we can depend on is our greed
    But if you wonder why this is, I'll tell you why it's like this
    And as much as you may hate it, you may become like it
    So, when it gets to the point where your body becomes tense
    And everything just doesn't seem to make any sense
    Just get a grip of something, and hang on tight
    Because not everybody makes it through at the end of the night

    This is just something I wrote during the summer. It took me a while to write, but I eventually got it done. I would have posted it up earlier, but I never got the chance to since I had to transfer my files from one computer to another just yesterday. The name is just random. I couldn't think of a title.
