I fear the thought of failure
my name written in the dirt
spat upon
Standing in line
picked out
like a painting
framed,
ashamed of what..
of who I've become
The mistakes
the bad things
Horrible
Unkind
I look back down
at my name in the dirt
a gravelly scribble
I grab a stick,

*Strikethrough.

I'm not what you need
only what you can use
Long conversations within the night
Touches with passionate kisses
Acceptive of your differences
Playing innocent
The easiest for you
I'm not what you what you want
Only what you're borrowing from the next
Pieces of lost happiness channeling your mind
Tight hugs that tell you a story of what shouldn't be lost
Long walks on the beach to make time go by quicker
I'm never going to be what you need
No sense in lying within a bed of lies to wake up
Convincing yourself that just maybe...ONE DAY....
ONE DAY
He can be the one to fill the empty space
I'm not what you're seeking or speaking of
Sorry
I'll play dumb for myself not you

A lie  was told
It's free for them
Others spend years paying
To breath cost a lot just as well as sleeping
A lie that was told
We die as they strive to live forever robbing from the innocent, the poor, and the dead

They ****
They take
They lie
They destroy

While we're in ******* for such crimes
A free country
If only my laughter was heard
Where is this free country?

Our rules were founded by criminals
That's even more hilarious
We beg
Give our lives
Make many more sacrifices

They smile
It's a joke to them
A sick joke

A free country for them
We dwell in it

Don't know who awaits me in the corner
Behind the door
in the bushes
But most certainly they'll be loved
Most certainly they'll have my soul in their hands having me as their puppet
My strings will be unbreakable
As long as I'm cared for with diligence
I won't lose my value
I'll be more than the coins in their pockets
I'll be their token
Don't know who awaits me in the fog
But when they find me they'll never desire any chances of losing me
They'll hold me captive in their heart without a time frame
I'll be apart of their wasted youth
Their daily returns
I'll be apart of who they are or will become
They'll love me with everything that makes them who they are
They'll know that they've loved me before I came to exist

Night wrapped in night
came to take me
my bones shattered
my vessel was cast away
Day wrapped in day
Awakened me
I've became whole
A new breath
A new beginning
New opportunities
