Our relationship is always a closed and locked up door No matter how hard I try, our relationship stays like it's always been before No matter what I do, no matter how easy or rough For some ******* reason, it never seems to be enough I try my hardest to make him proud Yet he never seems to listen despite me screaming so loud I wish he'd look my way and want to see me I want things to be normal, a happy family What must I do to get his love Must I call for a miracle sent from above? I already lost a mother and now I'm losing a father All I ever wanted was to be treated like a daughter

Father
I feel so alone, I feel nonstop confusion Everyday I am spiraling, feeling like a nonstop delusion I don’t know who I am anymore There is a million different choices in life yet I can’t find the right door I don’t know who I want to be I want something that makes me feel like me Do I want to be a teacher and educate our youth? I feel forced into this position, no matter how hard I hide the truth Do I want to be a writer and write stories that people will remember? I love to write but it is not a dream that ignites like an ember Do I want to be a photographer that takes photos people will cherish? I feel like every photo I take is always doomed to perish Do I want to design games that people will love to play People tell me that my hobbies are only hobbies, no matter what I say Do I want to teach English and help children learn to read and write? I’m skilled at what I do yet I feel I fail when I try with all my might I feel so alone and I don’t know what to do I write out my feelings in some way to connect to you I know nobody will read this but I have to get it out People never seem to listen no matter how hard I shout How do they expect me to choose when I am only 19 I have such a hard time, all I want is to be remembered and seen Everyone else knows what they want to do Yet I haven't a clue, I don’t know what is false and what is true

Lost
Every day is a performance, a never ending act I always must perform or people will attack I've become nothing more than a fake I've no idea how much more I can take They've forced me to hide who I love, who I am-deep down inside When all I've ever wanted is to embrace myself with pride They force me to wear a mask Every day, a constant task “Be yourself, be independent” they say Yet when I do, they always turn away It shouldn't be like this, it isn't ******* fair But who am I kidding, they don't ever care The only time they care is when there's another suicide on TV I worry I'll share that fate, just another statistic to be I don't know where to go or what to do So I'm crying for help, a message to you

Performance
Look and observe as the leaves turn orange and red The chill in the air, a feeling that feels with me with excitement and dread Halloween is finally here! Time to celebrate with happiness….and fear Decorate and fill your jack-o-lanterns with light To stop monsters from coming to give you a fright Stop and listen to the werewolves howling at the moon They're coming my friends, they'll be here real soon Watch as the vampires hunt throughout the night Better be careful for they have got quite the bite Look, there goes a witch and a black cat flying on a broom! Do not anger her or you will bring about your doom Make sure to watch out as the zombies rise from the head Stay away from them for they'd love nothing more than to feast on your head No need to fear the ghosts, no need to run away All the ghosts want is for someone to play Halloween is here, fear is in the air Monsters excited to give humans a scare Make sure to have your Halloween cheer…for if you don't, you'll be sad Because the boogeyman himself will hunt you down and make you wish you had

-Halloween-
Dragonfly Oh, Dragonfly There you are, my dragonfly Every day, it’s utter hell within in my head Sometimes I hurt so much, I just wish I were dead I don’t do much anymore, just hide and cry People tell me it gets better, but it’s all just a lie Filled with exhaustion, I look to the sky I never got the chance to tell you goodbye They tell me to be happy, that you’re in a better place Next thing I know, the tears are streaming down my face There is nothing I want more than your sweet, loving embrace Nothing is right, nothing is the same Life is now no more than a torturous game I look up and there I see A visitor who I know is here for me There you are, soaring through the sky A dragonfly that has come to say hi I watch it’s wings buzz and is flies on by There you are mom, I know it’s you It may sound stupid but I know it’s true Dragonfly Oh, Dragonfly There you are my dragonfly
