RIP School Survival Forums
August 2001 - June 2017

The School Survival Forums are permanently retired. If you need help with quitting school, unsupportive parents or anything else, there is a list of resources on the Help Page.

If you want to write about your experiences in school, you can write on our blog.

To everyone who joined these forums at some point, and got discouraged by the negativity and left after a while (or even got literally scared off): I'm sorry.

I wasn't good enough at encouraging people to be kinder, and removing people who refuse to be kind. Encouraging people is hard, and removing people creates conflict, and I hate conflict... so that's why I wasn't better at it.

I was a very, very sensitive teen. The atmosphere of this forum as it is now, if it had existed in 1996, would probably have upset me far more than it would have helped.

I can handle quite a lot of negativity and even abuse now, but that isn't the point. I want to help people. I want to help the people who need it the most, and I want to help people like the 1996 version of me.

I'm still figuring out the best way to do that, but as it is now, these forums are doing more harm than good, and I can't keep running them.

Thank you to the few people who have tried to understand my point of view so far. I really, really appreciate you guys. You are beautiful people.

Everyone else: If after everything I've said so far, you still don't understand my motivations, I think it's unlikely that you will. We're just too different. Maybe someday in the future it might make sense, but until then, there's no point in arguing about it. I don't have the time or the energy for arguing anymore. I will focus my time and energy on people who support me, and those who need help.

Black Verses of Defiance

These are some of the song lyrics I wrote. I don't expect anyone to understand what I'm saying, but you know, just read it and appreciate creativity. Smile

Absolution

Seconds away
From the rising sun
The light that cut so deep
In our safe place
Against city walls
Where wolves' blood drained out for sheep

Ascending
Into the glass sky
The holds on transparent souls
The word of life let die

Remember the day
When the stars fell down
Torching from the inside out
All those too pure
To release their chains
The stars crashed down like rain

Come back to me
My half-saved angel
Return to me
Return all my suffering

Leave all of the wounds open
Return to faith
The burning gates
The we will leave broken

Stare deep in fear
In that dead eye silent gaze
Mark the last night here
We'll set the altar ablaze

This is absolution for the wolves
Slaughtered by the lambs
This is retribution
For the eternity we'll end


Empty

Some parts of the story were meant to change
But now the ink is bleeding through the page
Everyone walked away before the ending
And I'm walking off an empty stage

Through streetlights, sirens, and memories
And a world that's burning in my eyes
When there's nothing else, you might find yourself
Asking for answers under an empty sky

There's a flat line
But the heart's still beating
In searching we've lost the meaning
And when the heart stops
We'll keep on bleeding
On and on

I wrote a prologue with an empty promise
I wrote an ending I couldn't afford
So fuck it all and bury this world
Six feet under with all my words

The tides of the ocean rise and reflect
The lights of a city that's dead to me
Don't be thankful for what you feel now
Pain isn't better than apathy

Time of death recorded
But our lives keep going
The skin is cold
But warm blood's still flowing
We walk with the dead
Our souls empty and bled




Silencer

Air runs thin and Earth glows red
City walls lock in the walking dead
Silencer, waiting ahead
With one shot for everyone

Decaying bodies pushed through fire
Towers burnt to ash then raised up higher
All surround the monuments
The dead waiting for their mass grave

Suicidal semi-human race
Billions of numbers for a single face
Evolution in full circle
Regressing into programs...

Air is warm the sun glows red
Towers transmit orders to their heads
The ministry may hand them bread
But they still fucking lust for flesh

Genocidal inhuman race
One world grave, our resting place
Evolution in full circle
Regressing into a virus...

Silencer, hand us our bullets
Ministry, we're waiting for it
Our time served in your herds
Give us one shot
Final reward








L.S.D.

Moving
Like a wraith
Out of my sight
On this hell blessed night
One chance
For this free willed half life

I envy
The rain falling on you
All the dark dreams inside you
If I could be your corset
Clinging to your skin
Never leaving you
Never let anyone else in

Under dying stars
You caress my scars
And fill me with lust this day
Now you leave me laying dead
In your flower bed
And I hope to burn it away

Stigmatic self infliction
You are my addiction
And in our skins' friction
I'll find everything I need

In purgatory's hallways
I am waiting always
This soul may never find a place

Tear the veil now
Your ghost won't feel the fires
Only my long awaited kiss
And no one else deserves these desires
How I adore my blissful selfishness




Icewater Blood

So let's burn these books now
All this fire
To keep lights flashing
Until the clouds dissolve

So who sits and waits
For the end of winter nights
While ice winds
Slash love filled hearts
And weaken resolve

Stare cold into your wounds
Until healing tears bring
Life to your drying blood
Try not to remember
What a waste every second of pain was
Did it make you any stronger
Did you think you'd last any longer?
You need to walk away
But you're too weak now
You have things to say
But will you suffer to speak now

Some dream of an afterlife
I dream of the life
I could have had before death

Some fear drowning
But how many on the surface
Never take a breath

Some fear hell
But how many play with fire
While still here
This is the world's fate now
Why do so many find truth in fear

You lyrics are far far to dark for me...but I appreciate the creativity and the skill in which you wrote them....*applauds*

there is no such thing as to dark =D

I highly suggest Mobb Deep's albums The Infamous and Hell on Earth, if you have not listened to it yet.

I don't currently have a band, but if I did I would apply these lyrics to it and they would likely involve lots of growling.

I write for the sake of writing most of the time

Here's a new one:


Forevermore

The writer
Has set fire
To his pages
Sick of the world he created
Forsaking his storyland
As does every deity of man

Returning
The ruins to the shelf
For the books that wrote themselves
No more readers of the conscious world

No more prayers
For the writer
Who stares in the mirror
Hating himself
When the vision is clearer
His words that remain
Will touch the flames of the spirit
For a preacher's insincere words
And those who gather to hear it

In the garden of his first pages
Under the stormfront and freezing rain
A young tears her golden bracelet apart
Sick of it chewing on her veins
Inside her lonely wrist
Under her empty hands that never held
A black flower or the power
To ascend from the wasteland where she fell

The dove must bleed
Before the demons fall
She will know her true lust
Before our death calls

Tear down the new cities
Slaughter all sides of the wars
The raven chokes on martyrs' blood
It decrees now
Your fate forevermore

Desecrate and destroy this place
Down to flesh melting core
Rebuild the world we're damned to kill
Our lives forevermore
