There are time when you want to cry but hide / When you want to stand strong but break / It hurst the people around you just as much as it hurst you / / If anyone wants to talk I am here for you
Be more of a girl, what does that mean? If I feel pretty in my oversized clothes what must I change? In order to fit into this world must I also fix your simplistic aesthetic? I am not good enough to please you and cause you to question my sexuality When in fact there is nothing for you to approve No check list for you to look at making me the "proper lady" That is not your choice to make, but mine And if you can't accept that then I don't need you Your negativity is unwanted in this already pessimistic world There is only one of me and I will not be controlled by your "ideals" Instead I shape my own because if I don't feel comfortable in my own skin while fitting into your cookie cutter image Then what is the point in living at all?

Be a Better Girl
Today someone important to many was lost Behind his bright smile was something started cracking inside Being unable to see it others were unable to take note of it He suffered on is own and the cracks formed into large breaks in his heart When no one knew he was hurting the most That once bright smile has now turned into a cold straight line The smile that he left in our hearts will never be forgotten It is not his fault for he fought his hardest

Lost But Never Forgotten
Being different has changed recently Some see it as something positive but I can’t get the pain out of my heart All of those year being looked down on and hurt I was short so they tried to break my bones I was considered “cute” so they cut my hair and made me black and blue If they knew that I had become broken they would win But I couldn’t do it and had to leave Leaving that place didn’t help because they came after me Holding me down and pelting me with rocks “Why don’t you scream **** What did I do to deserve that? I tried to be nice, stay to myself, and work hard Why did they have to hate me so much for it?

What Did I Do?
When anyone asks me what I fear I normally say clowns or blood tests Both of which are true but they are neither one of them is my biggest fear What I fear the most in the world is being left along The reason for this is because when no one is there I feel that I am not here I don’t want to disappear or not be remembered When I don’t make a sound, I feel this emptiness Every time I stay don’t make a noise I feel more and more people looking through me Instead of at me People say I am imagining it and I would like to think that is true But it is hard I am the one in the group that it wouldn’t matter if I was not there When I say something, it is looked over without a thought I am scared that it will always be like this But then I wonder if it would matter if I disappeared No one notices me anyway so what difference would it make I am invisible whether I say something or not When I do not text they don’t text me They don’t care about my presence Maybe it is just better to stay silent I can be forgotten and not bother others

Fear
Right now everything hurts and thats ok I can take it I've had much worse before This pain I feel might never go away But it's worth it for the joy I once had I remember those days full of laughter Those days that I though nothing could go wrong I wish I could turn back the clock But now I am here in the dark This place that I can't get away from Why did you have to get up and leave my life How is that fair to me I wanted you to stay and never leave my sight But of course you couldn't hold on for me You had to end it and make it so that no one could reach you And now there's no turning back for you Now I am just left alone to stand in the dark again After being in your light for so long the darkness is so cold Now I am just left to write down my memorize until I fade away too

Turn Back
For the days that I have been alone I am scared Scared that I will always be alone Is there a reason that it is this way Have I done something to deserve this Does it not matter that I have tears streaming down my face The only ones that are ever noticed are the ones with the smiles and bright eyes I guess I have found what I need to do I need to cast away the self I know and put on a mask and costume This mask and costume are the shields that protect me Keep me safe inside the walls I have created I continually push people away even though they wish to be close, or at least that's what they say Those people that say they are there for you but then leave in a split second and try to consume you They make you feel not good enough to be here and this can cause one to think Maybe I am not If it weren't for me everything would be fine and everyone would be happy This is scary to think about but what if what I have found is  true They don't want me

Scared
Through all of the tears I have cried I still see you You are always standing there with your bright smile right in front of me I wish that I could see that smile forever but I fear I am not strong enough My heart hurts and I am beginning to slip I wish I could tell you... Hold onto you... But instead I will dry my tears and paint my smile back on I will stay in the darkness while you continue to be the sun

You
The tears that fall down my face seem to be washed away by the waves But no one notices The color has disappeared from my eyes What shall I do in a world so dark The once bright world ripped right out from under me For what? Because someone forgot that there was still someone else left Still someone else wading in the now still water I can now say that it is quiet I guess that this is what they call peace I guess this is what I have been waiting for

Sinking
Why does everyone expect me to fall and crumble They say I know I am not perfect but don't expect me to break I am stronger then I look What you see is a small and fragile girl that is lost You think I can't save myself And now I have reason to believe that you are right

Lost
With all the things in the world why have I been left alone Am i not good enough for anyone to actually notice me What have I lost that everyone still has I know that I have lost people but I swear there is more to me Don't leave me behind with no one around Please I just want to be remembered after I leave
