Spinning and swirling round n' round I go crumbling to the floor as my walls begin to break my stomach churns as ***** threatens to rise hot tears come pouring down my head feels like a hurricane why am I like this? why am I so broken? old monsters are returning pushing away the new ones bringing back the ****** daggers that once stabbed at my skin walls break inside my head the air is thick and suffocating nothing will stand still nothing will let me breath I'm overheating again my body turning to fire I can't breath I'm tired of trying I just want to lay here and rot away let my world crumble let my mind fall apart let me turn to dust help me stop...

overthinking
Come find me come search for my soul I'm drowning in this sea of sorrows numb from the cold I feel nothing anymore rainbows mean nothing to me my life is a blur I'm crumbling in the sea Only you can find me you have the key throw me a life vest and save me from the sea

Sea of Sorrows
hot tears run down pink cheeks take a hammer to my head and a nail gun to my heart make this headache go away take away my pain my reflection stares back at me through blurry eyes confidence gone, it's as if my beauty has drained away tears and a pink nose no matter what, more and more tears come I hate being in this depressed place home,town and state How can you ask me to stay with you of course you'll find a way and of course I'll find a way to stay even if all I wish is to put a gun to my head bang.bang.bang. like 1,2,3 let me end my pain on the next hour, I'll find a way my throbbing temples wont let me forget this everlasting pain

With You
cold as ice similar to his eyes so shiny and bright like a new toy it catches my eyes chained to the wall my wrists have heartbeats his hungry eyes watch me eager to devour the fear that wont show as I hear the slice of the knife followed by screams that chill him not me why am I the one chained? piercing screams don't bother me

Wicked Sounds
Life doesn't always hand you lemons like snowballs they can be thrown at your legs Down on your knees you'll go, because lemons are much harder than snowballs you know. Crippling you for however long, this harsh act forces you to crawl. Don't expect a wheelchair, there wont be one for you. We all crawled at one point or another a past lesson; a past stepping stone on how to walk if you can remember,which I doubt you can crawling was much easier then. Back then you weren't use to standing on your feet. But for whatever reason life decided to chunk a lemon your way knock you down in the middle of the road, then run off like some silly little girl, all the while laughing of course Life chose you. You with your habit of bad luck and terrible morning breath... Keep your head up when you start crawl, if not you'll miss the ladder. As one of life's wonderful attempts to keep you down just keep going, keep moving forward and when you see that ladder... don't climb it. Use it to stand back up then hunt down a brand new lemon squeezer, cause I can guarantee life 'misplaced' your last one... on purpose of course.

Life's Lemons
As the sun sets sinking down only to rise on the opposite side forming someones light setting the stage for the stars I realize.. I don't need you approval you've shot me down for the last time If nothing I show you is right that doesn't mean its wrong my work is still wonderful I am still beautiful after the scars you've left in my wing like the sun I'll rise again facing the arrow of judgment that is your words no matter how much they sting or burn I'll forever spread my wings to rise constantly with the sun.

mom?
Terrified of my fate Here I go down this broken road Step after Step So far so good It always starts out that way Sooner or later they find the real you Like staring into those dreaded mirrors multiply x5 Up close may look nice Far away might look good Middle ground always seems awkward The worst of you always seem to show If it's meant to be it will Unflattering words to the ear I don't really enjoy this broken road Pieces of my heart mixed with the dirt The things I do for you Everyone puts their heart on the line Especially when you see what you want So here is mine.

Hearts and Mirrors
a depressed moon paired with sad stars they fall like tears misunderstood icy wind he's not cold hearted just can't comfort like the sun but my lips are blue my toes freezing cold because of the wind I can't even feel my nose but I love the way he brushes against my arms sends chills down my spin and send tears down my eyes like falling stars

This is my resolution sick of this cage you've put me in never even saw the bars till now cold iron bars I find my dusty soapbox it's stained with blood and tears with shaky knees I stand the view is different up here you seem so small and I so tall will you listen to me now? my head rises with hope and courage I hold the key to my cage. My resolution set me free.
