Don't set yourself on fire to keep others warm.
Cuz who's gonna be there to keep you warm when you burn out?
You can say this person and that person,
But is anyone really a guarantee?
Just...
Keep yourself warm, healthy and happy,
And it'll spread to others too!

They say it’s better to have loved and lost
Than to have never loved at all.
Is that really true?
Is it true if that love mentally destroyed you?

It's always the straw that breaks the camel's back
That straw is always the most memorable of them
But where would that straw be,
If not for any of the other beautiful little flaws?

Every day, in my mind,
A battle between light and dark ensues
My light, My innocence,
My values and resilience.
None of that was light enough
For the shadows of my past
The plaguing regret,
The guilt, shame and defeat
Backed into a corner,
With nowhere else to go
Almost defeated by my own self
Ready to throw the towel in
But you came along,
You beautiful Ray of golden sun!
You see my flickering light and nurture it
I am not alone in this.

They say it takes 21 days
To drop a bad habit.
It’s been more than 3 weeks without you
Why do you still plague my mind?

I did what they told me to,
I followed my heart,
But, in the same process,
I lost my mind.

Thorns 'round my heart
And this weight on my soul
One day I last longer
One day I lose control
Draining my energy
Till I'm left lying
On the bed for hours
I shouldn't be trying
To hold on to anyone else
Is to lose a part of myself
'Cause in the end they all leave me
Just an empty bottle on the shelf
And through everyone that's left
I can call this silver blade my friend
A temporary distraction
'Til I reach my very end
I want people to care
Lemme tell you, I do
But everyone'll just pass me by
And I don't doubt even you
Will someday be another one
That I let see me down
But instead of helping you packed your bags
And walked out of my town
Unable to scream,
Unable to fight
Time for me to give up
I've used up all of my might
These vines growing stronger
Keeping me all tied up
My will to go on further
You've taken from my cup

Bloodletting is such a medieval practice
You used to think that opening up your skin
Will rid you of any sickness you have?
Then again, Who am I to judge?
I do the same thing for sicknesses in my own mind
It's an even less effective solution,
But I feel that it works.
Even just for a short bit.

Driving down the highway
The rain is pouring
The traffic is building
The drops pitter patter on the rooftop
But ahead
A bridge
If I reach it
I’ll be fine
Under it’s calmer
As I wait beneath this cover
It’s almost peaceful
It’s almost silent
But, Alas
The traffic will clear
And I’ll have to leave
The bridge that brought me peace
And as the wheels leave
The solace of the bridge
The rain hits
A little harder now
It’s all louder than it was before
More chaotic
More painful
The rain booms now all around

Honestly, I'd take a bullet for anyone.
At least it'd come with the closure of saving a life,
No matter which life it is.
Or maybe push someone away from a bus or oncoming car
Maybe take up firefighting or join the police force
Take on people thrice my size to let someone else away
Put myself in whatever danger's way to save others
And that's the thing about me.
I don't value my life. My life means nothing if I'm not saving others.
I'd trade my life to anyone in need, cause odds are,
They value theirs more than I value mine.
One day I hope I'll be able to step up in one of these ways
Because dead men share no intents.
They'd call the intents heroic and selfless
While I know the intents as suicidal and selfish.
