Overdose pulsing through my veins. Falling into the dark sea. You found me on the floor. They try to bring me back to life. No, I will not come back for you to torture me. Staying here in the blackness is what I want. Forever.

Teach me how to breathe again. It's just so hard when you walk into a room. My breath is gone and you check to see if I’m alright. I stutter because I don't know what to say. You smile because you start to feel the same. We go to this place where words aren't needed. Just move. Your expressions and body language will tell me what you really feel.

I smile as I dream. Well I think it’s a dream. For once in my life all that I have dreamed of has come true. I love you, I love you, I love you!! That’s what I want to shout, but I can’t for my mind will not allow it. All these feelings, I love them. Your touch to say the least is electrifying. You give me strength and make me feel like no one else can. I feel special and all yours. I’m yours there is no doubt about it. All those times we've spent together. They will not fade away. They play like...

Bright and flashy. Yes that sounds about right. Two sided. Half of me-always bright. The other half- dark and straight forward. Side one, how she puts up with other people sometimes is amazing. She loves to feel. Side two, she feels pain but it’s good. She’s insecure but she has one thing that keeps her going. That one guy that makes her a priority in life. The two sides merge and become one. Now she's dark with splashes of bright and doesn’t worry about what other people say to her.

Falling faster and faster into the deep sea of dreams. It’s what makes happy thoughts come to mind. The best moments of your life replay like a still movie in black and white. Anger flares up as memories of that day come back. Trying to float back to the surface and get air. This is no longer a happy place. Just can’t seem to make it there. Sleep has come at last...just cant...escape.

He walks the edge of his marriage and flirts with danger. Experimenting with crank and clubs. Each night he comes home late he says he's been at the office late. Maybe he was there late, but he wasn't alone. His life is being flipped upside down. The crank starts calling to him every minute of every day. He starts having mood swings and hits his wife. She tries to fight back, but she's not strong enough. Does he realize that he's demoralizing his wife? He hits her so hard that she cannot get up....

It's a monster. It calls to you every day, beckoning you to use just one more line. It won't damage you, nothing will happen, everything will be alright. Your nose starts to get this burning sensation. Your body cannot handle this much, you start to feel dizzy and the room starts to spin. Your body is seizing on the floor and it's as if you are watching this happen from outside of your body. An out of body experience that will never happen again because you are dead. Cocaine, the monster, killed...

As she looks in the mirror she sees the girl of two years past. She was so young and innocent, believing that nothing in the world could ever harm her. In those two years she has grown up to be a girl fearful of all men. She has been abused more times than she would like to tell and raped one too many times. In one moment she lost all of her confidence and self-worth. She'll never be the same girl again. She has yet to tell anyone about it, this is her story and her way of telling it. When she looks...

He was involved in a gang for several years of his life. Now he's holding the weight of his family on his shoulders. Things at home are getting harder for him every day. Then, he meets this girl who doesn't judge him for his past or what he is. She just loves him for him. He says he's a monster; she says he's a gift. He thinks of her as his own special prize that brightens his day. His papers are signed and he's enlisted. She's not sure what she will do without him, but she knows she'll be alright...

That look sends chills down my spine, the look that says 'I want you and I love you.' Every stolen glance he gets makes my heart beat faster. The adrenaline starts rushing through my veins when I feel his warm breath on my neck. In his arms i feel protected and stronger than I ever have. He makes me lose all sense of direction. I don't know what to say around him anymore. Does he know what he does to me? He has this presence about him that just takes over. We are the ones who will change the world....
