TheMaelstrom - Hello Poetry

the world is on fire, but i am at peace. the situation's dire, and this year was so bleak. who knows what twenty one will have in store? will this virus be done? will we go to war? whatever awaits, i'll be so okay, passively accept fate 'cause i am unphased by trudging though days that are just as grey as those filled with rage, as those filled with pain, that always lit my way.

It's okay You can talk to me There's no need to flee You're not my enemy You know, I'm so lonely It's okay I really do like you I only talk to few 'Cause I'm scared of you Am I getting through It's okay I want to talk to you I'm really dying to Why am I scared of you I shouldn't be scared of you Scared of you, scared of you It makes me scared of you Scared of you, scared of you, scared of you And now you're scared of me

Scared of You

It's okay You can talk to me There's no need to flee You're not my enemy You know, I'm so lonely It's okay I really do like you I only talk to few 'Cause I'm scared of you Am I getting through It's okay I want to talk to you I'm really dying to Why am I scared of you I shouldn't be scared of you Scared of you, scared of you It makes me scared of you Scared of you, scared of you, scared of you And now you're scared of me

Everywhere I look it's being preached. That cutting your ties and leaving your home is the best thing you can do. And I would love to. But I'm not able to. All I can do is bring out the best in these little roads. Or at least that's what I'd love to believe.

I already feel alienated enough But I may as well rejoice at this void There are other types of love I don't care that I have no choice

The walls are crashing down The rules, they are dead now Take a glance at everything else That they'd wish you never felt It's your turn now The brightness may try to blind you But it can't **** what's inside you Don't you dare kneel before Everything that makes you sore You're in control now Go as far as you can Until you find somewhere that feels like home Make your way across the lands Until all with grievances are shown It's okay if you want to leave You don't have to die in toxicity Someday they're going to look up and see They were wrong to throw you away You're above them now They can't break you down No one will ever break you down

Look at everything you've you've broken. Look at everything you've ruined. There's not much left in the ashes and the dust, I'm not even quite sure of who I was. Have you had your fun, now? Because soon, it will all be done. I don't know if it could've happened differently, But I will take you on until I'm dead. I can see now that you've always been controlling me, But all stories have to end. I won't let you hurt me again.

The End

Look at everything you've you've broken. Look at everything you've ruined. There's not much left in the ashes and the dust, I'm not even quite sure of who I was. Have you had your fun, now? Because soon, it will all be done. I don't know if it could've happened differently, But I will take you on until I'm dead. I can see now that you've always been controlling me, But all stories have to end. I won't let you hurt me again.

I guess I should start by saying it's always been a part of me Although I never really noticed it until it had been pointed out to me Countless times, that question was repeated: "Why are you like this?" "Why are you like this?" I kept yelling back "I don't know!" But the message never seemed to go through Confused and frustrated, I curled up into my shell I walked alone in my quiet hell Because that's what they wanted, right? That's what they expected? I guess I grew to comply But inside I felt rejected I thought they wanted the pain to eat me alive And now, here I am Just trying to find myself again But I fear they'll gossip if I leave my cage But with that mindset, nothing will change I will never be saved.

"Drown yourself inside the light Paint your world a neon white Who knows what lies inside the dark? Tear that broken world apart!" You scream this thinking you’re divine But part of you lives in the night, And isolations undefined Nothings black and nothings white Reality's a mix of greys Your extremes are just a cage Keeping you from seeing straight

Why did I do it? Well, I didn't know That it would cause my collapse, my fall Oh, Welcome to my last show And in case you couldn't already see, There's not much left of me I had thrown away reality In the favor of alternate beings I could rule them all, rise and fall I stepped over the line And fell into my darker side Editing the real world in my head Why face real life again? I could do anything, Playing with shadows Soon it all drained away, As I had realized I'd gone astray Those perfect days Left me in chains Took it all Away Took it all Away.

Playing With Shadows

Why did I do it? Well, I didn't know That it would cause my collapse, my fall Oh, Welcome to my last show And in case you couldn't already see, There's not much left of me I had thrown away reality In the favor of alternate beings I could rule them all, rise and fall I stepped over the line And fell into my darker side Editing the real world in my head Why face real life again? I could do anything, Playing with shadows Soon it all drained away, As I had realized I'd gone astray Those perfect days Left me in chains Took it all Away Took it all Away.
