Sitting in your hospital room, Trying to forget The empty look in you eyes, The rope around your neck

Hospital Room
I was terrified, But I’m my empty hands I hold freedom In that I have nothing to lose I have burnt all my bridges, Lost everyone who cared about me The fresh air doesn’t taste like freedom It tastes like ash. I was so scared, But now I don’t feel anything at all. There is nothing anyone can take from me I promise, it’s already gone This is not the perfect freedom I imagined, My child, forever isn’t build upon dreams The real ones don’t dream at all

A broken version of ‘freedom’
I told everyone I’m getting better Told them I can see the sun Makes it so much harder When I let them down again When I have to tell them about it all, How it was never going to happen Aren’t you sick of me? Tired of my relapse? Tell you I’m getting better, Only to find a text from me Talking about goodbye Giving up on me is easy Be free of my relapse You want to see me I’m to scared to go outside This is the game we play Pretend I’m ok Until I’m not agin This is the way it always works This is my relapse

Relapse
Find me in a river, Look out to oceans great and strong. Find me in the sunrise, Listen carefully to my song. Find me in a river, Look at your reflection when you smile Find me in the forest, And stay there for a while. Find me in a river, Know that this is not the end. Find me amongst the dragonflies, Because maybe when the time is right, I'll find you again.

Find me in a river
A wild sea of rainbow, Glitters in the sun. Laughter and joy and contentment, Fill this wondrous world. A bridge of trust stretches through the air, Catching the lovers that fall. Love is an island, Everyone wants to reach it, but they dread getting wet. But for those who risk the water, The find the true treasures. Shimmering skies, Rarely darkened by storms. Love wears no armour, So you can clearly see the joy.

Love
Shouting in the streets, Shooting in the streets. Guns and bullets and bullets and guns. Outside I'm white, sure. But inside I'm a rainbow. On the outside you're black, But inside maybe you're a rainbow too.

Peace
How is it that my words shatter, Falling around me like broken glass

Broken Glass
A                         Single drop                A scent in the air, a pr-        omise of thunderstorms tells m-     e of the coming of rain. A drop of wa- ter land on my nose, and then the sky ope- ns up with a mighty roar of rain. Misty ski- s, and howling wind, dancing like a torn-    ado. Animals run, and birds get soaked       in their nests. Cats hiss as the rain f-          alls on them. Thundering noises             on metal roofs, telling the st-                ory of rain. A flash of li-                  ghtning, followed b-                      A low rumble                        Of thunder                            Rain

The coming of rain
One thousand moments But we didn't   Use one To Ask Why

Ask why
What is the colour of a festival? A child once asked me. It's a whirl of all the colours, red and yellow and pink, and a thousand other tones besides. It is a deep, dusty pink, the colour of first dates. It's a bright, sunshine Yellow, the colour of excitement. It’s a joyous, bustling red, the most beautiful shade of carefree pleasure
