How many time can I break til I shatter?

How far can one person be pushed before they can't take it anymore? 

What does it take to reach that final breaking point?

I have a new thing to say to people who bitch and complain about their pampered little lives...

GET OVER IT!

United States of America

I remember being a kid in the 90s in the USA. Life was good then. Yes, it may not not have been perfect, but I felt free and proud to live in the US. That has all changed for me now.
I look around and see that politics, wars and poverty are taking over. I don't feel safe in the US anymore. It's not because of other Americans. Our president and government is who I fear the most. Aren't they supposed to protect us? Beware of people who say they want to protect you. Our government doesn't want to protect us. They want to control us. Taking away weapons is a very big step in that. We were given the right to bare arms for a reason. The people who fought for our freedom, wanted us to have a way to defend ourselves in case our government was to try to take away our freedoms.
Now I am big hippie in many ways. I believe in loving and helping one another. I believe in peace, not war. But even a hippie needs to be able to defend themselves. So I am not about pointless wars where millions end up being slaughtered, but in the name of freedom and being able to live this life in peace, I do not believe we should have the right to bare arms taken away.

Now when it comes to our American people (government not included), I believe that most have a good heart. Most people aren't going to blow up a marathon or murder a bunch of kids in a school. Most of us are good. We don't think we are doing anything wrong, but look around....
Do you know how much food we produce in the US everyday? I'm not sure of the exact number, but its a lot. So why do we have hungry people? It's not for lack of.food! We have tons of food and hungry people... Empty houses and homeless people... We waste so much! And the sad part is.. the biggest reason behind the fact that big corporations don't donate more is that they don't want to be sued. It's sad that we can't even help the poor anymore without it backfiring in our faces.
I hate to see that our wonderful United States of America has come to this and even worse that I'm only 28 years old. I seriously was born in the wrong decade.

Dead inside

Broken hearts and shattered dreams,
That's all I've ever known,
Disappointment, failure,
Are the only seeds I've sewn.

Tears in the dead of night,
No one sees but me,
Thoughts are taking over,
All I'll never be.

Fogging up my mind,
Trying to forget,
All the painful memories,
And the very day we met.

Take me from the world,
Free me from the pain,
I've given all I've got,
Only death can make me sane.

I still remember when
Loving was our plan
I was your woman
And you were my man

Now just faded memories
They'll never mean a thing
Like a wadded up napkin
Or a simple gold ring....

Remembering the bad times
More than the good
I love you. I hate you.
I Feel misunderstood

How did we get here?
Took a wrong turn?
Now I'm so lost
But not your concern

Thousands of arguments
Tearing us apart
And It no longer hurts you
To completely break my heart...

It's all a lie
All a fucking lie
I love you is now
Eat shit and die.

I hate you
I despise you
But I love you
What do I do?

Take me away
Can't take the pain
My fight is gone
I may be insane.

It's getting darker
Walls are closing in
Feeling so helpless
No way to win.

Clean it, Scrub it,
Polish til it shines,
The one thing you cant scrub,
Is the one thing you cant find.

 Feel sad, Break Down,
Tears falling like rain,
Wasting your time
They cant wash away the pain.

Memories bring sadness,
Will never be the same,
I dont know who you are,
I only know your name.

Why did you change?
How are you so cruel?
What was I thinking?
I was such a fool...

The best of intentions

"I do", she said with love in her eyes
Nothing could change the way she felt
Her heart flooding with love...

Time changes everything
A heart filled with despair
The pain overwhelming
Should she even care?

She's given everything
Tried to be tough
Running on empty
Will it ever be enough?

Words are said
The accusations fly
Someone take the blame
Could this be goodbye?
