18/F People who know me, only know of me. The truth is, I am a bowl of jealousy, anxiety, depression and a whole lot of self critique. I never do anything for myself. All I do is to please others. I guess a lot of people relate. Which is sad.
I wonder if my mind Always has to be so kind Or my heart will be What you want to see I want to sleep Without the need To give you more Than you're looking for Can I hide? Or do I have to fight? Do I have to stay? Or can I run away?

Expectations
She was walking To an unknown destination Didn't know that somehow She'd end up where it all started Looking for things that aren't to be seen The roads change but the destination Is always the same Fine sidelines feeling nostalgic She's tempted but not willing Promising vows with beautiful outcomes All the synonyms to her wishes Falling into the pressure Tracing the steps of anonymous people Leading to a place filled with regrets No unique signs Can't change the game Can't be blue when the game's black and white Zipped in a paperbag Freedom is calling Unzip and the colours shine through 60's re-lived but in different view

As soon as my head rested There was a puddle on my pillow Memories so clearly in my mind Even though it has only been a day I want to forget Can I for just a second believe That I am floating in the wind? Can I feel as though it never ended? I want to fly above the skies Where I cannot see any land It is just me, the skies and the sun But here I am The reality is starting to get blurry As i drift away Into my dreams Let me focus On my sweet dreams Just for now Goodnight

Goodnight
Butterflies look beautiful by sight Sea Urchins They are mesmerizing Some say they feel butterflies in their stomach when they get excited But imagine a whole nation of them Trapped inside you Flapping their beautiful wings Trying their best to escape this prison And as mesmerizing as one thing can be Imagine a whole ocean of sea urchins Crawling inside of you Looking for a loop hole Exploring the walls from inside But there's no way out Am I the only one Who has this feeling? Am I the only one Who constantly is jealous? Even if I don't want to be? It ***** to not feel good enough But that's just me.

If only we could see souls Instead of vessels The definition of what makes one beautiful Is the honesty of your actions That's what we would see Not to put someone down because you think you're pure but to know who to trust And who you can rely on Betting on what you're looking at Can sometimes be deceiving Because looking isn't always seeing We frequently classify When we don't even know the content Seeing souls instead of vessels Would be the moment of realization
