You stand high Tall and proud Your charade pronounced Truth and and honesty get you pain Being true to yourself, That gets you singled out Always feeling like your falling Farther the more you show So you hide Pretending in your charade Acting like its a parade But its nothing more the hiding Hiding that your falling Falling to far down It's hard to be yourself But it's harder to put up with pretend Wishing it was a storybook Playing the playbook A game Where you are the pawn Taken in and out by the instructor

Falling

You stand high Tall and proud Your charade pronounced Truth and and honesty get you pain Being true to yourself, That gets you singled out Always feeling like your falling Farther the more you show So you hide Pretending in your charade Acting like its a parade But its nothing more the hiding Hiding that your falling Falling to far down It's hard to be yourself But it's harder to put up with pretend Wishing it was a storybook Playing the playbook A game Where you are the pawn Taken in and out by the instructor

Time is a precious thing All take for granted Not knowing who's king Not realizing what your handed Always running Always cunning Never stops to think Until everything is gone Gone in a blink Start thinking Start realizing being alive Is a gift Start loving Stop hating Start knowing lifetimes Are gods gift Time is a blessing Life is a gift People take it for granted But why?

Fear is grappling It is instilled into souls For reasons that are corrupting It breaks and teaches It hurts and ruins Fear is used as a teacher A teacher that tortures People see it as a sign A sign of respect But its an installation Fear is a way to make people hide Hide and cower Its a way for others to run For someone to feel better Better about themselves Fear is a tool A tool used for a person satisfactory A tool for torture A tool for pain A tool for hurt It is not a sign of respect Not in a soul Its a sight of someone breaking Fear breaking them Its the sight of a soul A soul who needs mending Fear is grappling Don't instill it Destroy it Because fear is a tool A tool for pain to come Fear

I tried to think I could be better But not quite exactly Change seems pretty bad And kinda terrifying I know it sounds crazy But hear me out I once heard a story About someone brand new They were old and new They lived in an old house Across the street They brought in the new The new to that old house It added new to the old It was odd It felt wrong They eventually grew older Then they were old in that old house Adding old to new It wasn't so odd Not do bad Not so wrong It balanced out Slowly but surely It was hard But somehow Definitely worth it To add old to the new New to the old The person was old and new I thought new was bad All I knew was old New was bad Wrong Old was good Normal So not exactly So hear me out New and old Both good and bad To get old You have to have new To get new You have to have old So the house Across the street Was old But the stuff inside was new But the person who made it happen Was not either They were old and new They made it happen Slowly but surely They made it true So thanks to that story For teaching me You can't have new without the old You can't have old without the new So old and new are you and me New and old Old New Me and you are Old and new

I used dream Dream I could be Be more than they said Better then expected But here I am Broken Over and over again I used to believe I had potential That I could be fixed Less unintentional I wish I still dreamed So I could believe I could hope Have faith I used to dream

I feel like the burden In a space that isn’t mine I need to tell, Myself Stop running from the pain It isn’t gonna disappear But you only ever made it worse Standing alone Leaving me alone Making me feel unworthy So i stand waiting for you at the top I’ve made it all on my own No one there to say “You're doing wrong.” “You don't deserve it” I Just had be strong I had to stand up to the world Now watch me thrive Day and Night I just needed faith Faith in myself To tell Myself I'm not a burden I deserve this I'm not alone I got this

Tell Myself

I feel like the burden In a space that isn’t mine I need to tell, Myself Stop running from the pain It isn’t gonna disappear But you only ever made it worse Standing alone Leaving me alone Making me feel unworthy So i stand waiting for you at the top I’ve made it all on my own No one there to say “You're doing wrong.” “You don't deserve it” I Just had be strong I had to stand up to the world Now watch me thrive Day and Night I just needed faith Faith in myself To tell Myself I'm not a burden I deserve this I'm not alone I got this

I don’t wanna die I wish that were true That girl on rooftop’s there to She's not hidden She's brewing over I don’t what to do any longer I want it all to stop The noise in my head To loud to bear most the time I can’t think of a time where the noise just stopped Always there Fighting for my life The heart beating fast Like a final warning Ever gonna stop Is it gonna reach the top Top of the rooftop When will stop Its quiets down on roof-top Still loud Quiets down just a little bit It's always gonna be loud. So loud. Tries to take voice It worked While I was on the Rooftop Its pressing in my brain The voices i cant name Worse on the grass Better on the Rooftop

I tried so hard to hide the pain. Plastered on the smile. Laughed a perfect laugh. That never reached the eyes. Kept it hidden for a year and a half. Finally confided in my friends and sister. Got really good at lying. Almost became reality. I never lied to those I confided in though, my sister and friends. I continued to downplay what I was going through. The pain. The hopelessness. I'm crying myself to sleep every night. No adult knows. I'm good at pretending. The cuts. The blood. The scars left behind. The two attempts to leave it all behind. The secrets. The hiding. Too much to handle. I tried and failed to overcome it. The third is soon to come. It feels like a black hole that ***** you in with no escape. Is there an escape? Not for me. Still struggling everyday. I can’t do it anymore. I tried. I’m done. GOODBYE???

I'm not running away Watch for today Until you see Cazarme But i'm not running away Cazarme All you want Running is for another Another day Watch me soar Through the days Walking through The darkest corners I'll be the light So go ahead Cazarme I don't mind Cazarme I got nothing to fear I know you're gonna try Cazarme I am not afraid Watch me reinvigorate I'm instantly going insane Insane enough to say That its okay for you to Cazarme I knew it from the start You wanted to Cazarme But I won't ever run I won't ever hide So, Cazarme All you want I'm on my own Start to run Go ahead Cazarme

She goes in the halls unnoticed No one cares to spare a glance Her heart broken Over and over again Her pain ignored Forgotten like a sin Even in the wind But she doesn't break She helps others She helps with everyone's ghosts She helps them remember who they are Why they must live A reason to survive She carries everyone's ghosts Their pain But hers goes unnoticed Her ghost "unimportant" No one cares to feel her pain To notice her ghost Her ghost taking over But she still helps She still carries everyone's ghosts Their pain Their hurt She listens Even when it kills her She helps them survive Gives them a reason to survive Gives them hope Carries the ghost But they forget Forget to notice her Her pain Her hurt Her ghosts She carries everyone's ghosts She carries her own Still unnoticed she goes She doesn't break Cry Or scream She continues to carry the ghosts
