The world halted in its fear,
It trembled and shook.
It silenced itself and hid.
But the giant noticed nothing,
saw nothing,
heard nothing,
It just wanted a friend.

They ran and hid in fear,
But for one soul.
He didn't run, no he stood his ground.
And the world is all the better for it.

If the world was nicer
I would've been happier.
But I surely would've died sooner.
The world has never been nice
And it has never been kind
And I must thank it for that,
For being constant in my life.

He'd come back changed
One might say he was broken
He knew better
True he had his scars
And they covered him quite well
And perhaps he wasn't completely whole
But he was not broken
His scars were proof of that.

Oh memories from so long ago,
Oh how they pained him so!
If only he'd had more courage,
If only he'd cared more,
But alas, he did not
And now what's done is done

Today I am dreaming.
I dream of a world where I am free to be me.
Where everyone knows who I am.
Where my secret is not a secret.
Yesterday I was running.
Running away from all of this.
Running towards a future bright and gleaming.
Where I didn't have to hide.
Tomorrow I will be living in that future.
No secrets to eat me up.
No lies or fake smiles.
Just me.

Reaching, straining, grasping,
Desperate to reach our promised place.
Never quite getting there,
Fists forever full of air.
Empty promises and crushed dreams,
Memories fall from bitter lips,
Lie and prayers fall on deaf ears,
Meant for no one to ever hear.

Blood on the floor, god you're such a bore.
Tears in my eyes, another person sighs.
Screams in my ears, laugh at my tears.
If I jumped would you care or would you just stare?
Life is flashing by, but all I can do is cry.
I'm begging for you to stay, but I'm telling you to go away.
Which way is up, which way is down?
Will you laugh when I hit the ground?

I am a flower.
In the spring I come to life.
Full of joy, yet struggling still.
Coming out of winter, just need some time to grow.
I'll be fine, soon I'll be great.
I just need some time.
In the summer, I bloom.
Never happier, the most carefree I'll ever be.
Winter just a distant memory, slowly forgotten.
I'm great, never better.
I've got all the time in the world.
In the fall, I wilt.
Slowly I fade, my worries grow.
My only companion, endless melancholy.
I'm getting worse, say I'm fine.
I wish I didn't have anymore time.
In the winter, I die.
Can't see the end, the beginning a distant memory.
I dream of tomorrow, and scream when it comes.
I say I'm okay, never better.
I've run out of time.
The cycle repeats, year after year.
Losing track, just know it's always been this way.
Waiting for the year it ends, one way or another.
I'm alright though, I'm just fine.
The flower has all the time in the world, yet none at all.

You taught me things I never wanted to know.
You made me so happy, yet so sad.
You filled me with sorrow and taught me there was no hope,
Then you gave me something to laugh at so I'd forget about it,
About everything.
Every word I read, every breathe I took with you, was a gift and a curse.
You've torn me down and built me back up so many times I've lost count.
Yet I still love you, Oh how I love you.
Without you I am lost,
No followers, no one to talk to when I'm lonely,
No one to cheer me up when I'm sad.
Just an empty, gaping hole inside of me where you used to be.
I hate you for it,
How dependent I am, how I can't see the good in the world,
How you make me procrastinate and how you make me lose my friends.
I hate you, because I can't function without you.
So today I'll say NO, and tomorrow I'll say YES.
But in my heart you'll always be a bittersweet thing.
So many good memories, and an equal amount of bad,
Something to love that makes me sad.
Something to hate cause I didn't want to know.
Somethings were never meant to be shown.
