16/F I'm just trying to figure out how to voice the million thoughts going through my head at every moment
Does your family still talk about me? Are your walls the color you talked about with me so long ago? I guess friends do come and go And with the irregularities in thought process that have come to light I suppose it’s no surprise you sought out people with better expressed feelings, sympathy. You could say I left myself in the dirt Chasing the only friend whose feelings seemed real to me

Grey and Orange
If he sees me sad Maybe he’ll put away the things that have come between us Angry At the people whose feelings are supposedly easily expressed For not caring Angry That the short hour of time I’ve created out of sleep for love has become so sour Angry That you can’t just put our differences aside and give me the only thing I’ve ever wanted from you since the beginning

Sadness and Anger
Dark and empty Where everything outside is muffled Those are the places I reside now A lightly treaded staircase Inside the box of tin and 4 wheels that takes me everywhere I don’t want to be Any available corner of a room Loneliness and hunger Hoping the more I leave people alone, The more okay with me they might be If my stomach is as empty as I am The happy things might return

Enclosed Spaces
I imagine it's like tightrope walking But on drugs I dont know which way to lean Where I am Why I'm trying so hard to stay balanced Where I'll land if I fall off the rope I make my moves carefully But my mind is spinning I am preparing myself for what my mind seems to believe is inevitable The fall The end I want to keep walking The farther I go the better I feel If only I could keep my balance in this altered state of mind i refuse to define

High on a wire
It's like a dream Walking outside to find you sitting on the ledge of a ditch Watching traffic You always seem to find the perfect balance of speaking but still letting things be unspoken And though they say I'm far from home The drive has never seemed so short

Slow burning candle
I wish I could ask you to stay That youd never leave But I'd hate the thought that you could want to leave but feel trapped by my desperation Your love seems so unconditional when it comes to me But as time goes on I feel as if even your love for me is fading I wonder terribly often that maybe I am becoming a worse person And that you greatly dislike the changes you see in me

Golden boy
Sometimes My bonds with people seem like wells Wells that I am constantly running dry And anymore it seems as if I am in a desert I'm sorry If I come to drink from the wells of friendship too often I wish I could be more like rain

Everything is boring And my dreams have never been so out of reach I have no desire to return home without the touch and embrace of another If only we could both stay here Until my dreams were caught I want to ask you so many things If only youd take me seriously and answer my questions I should take what I can get Jokes and glances But I've always wanted more And I dont think that will change anytime soon

Lobby thoughts
Apologizing For needless things Things I've been told are okay to do Sorry For saying no Forgive me for expecting things from someone residing below the floor

Below the floor
For the better half of an hour Some 24 hours ago You sounded like you had a conscience Like you could understand the deeper meanings of sadness, anger, and guilt Talking philosophy As if maybe there was a chance at happiness for us
