And so the fire dies;
breathes one last breath,
below endless skies,
dark, and unkempt
My heavy hands I lay to rest
No spark will catch,
with embers drenched
I face the night with eyes wide open
and calm my mind with words unspoken
One deep breath
One cold night
Before daybreak,
brings new light

As mid-September turns October
Once lively leaves begin to turn over
And the warmth of summer feels further and further
Leaving loneliness to hug its shores
The songbird sighs its sing-songy goodbyes
Leaving barren skies alone and cold
The morning songs of summer
No longer there to warm the soul
With every passing day
Theres less sunlight here to stay
And the warmth of summer rays have gone to find a new place
Where flowers will welcome them upon their face
Now summers gone to find a new home
And without a second thought,
we’ve been left here alone
We long, we hope, and we wait
For summers warm embrace
to take winters lonely place

This girl in the picture,
I hardly know
This girl in the picture
feels all alone
Although she shows
a smile on her face
That mask she wears
hides an inner dark place
She longs for a sign,
that maybe she’s wanted,
that maybe her life is...
somewhat important
She turns in toward herself
and cries in her corner
She does not want
this life she’s been ordered
So who is this girl,
and where will she go?
What will she accomplish,
when her potential is unknown?
Maybe one day
she will break free
Maybe one day
she will see...
She will see that she’s perfect
She will see that she’s wanted
The girl in the picture
will see she’s
Important

I wonder what they thought of me
as I was walking through the halls
As I was sitting in their class
While I said nothing at all
Did they know who I was
Maybe other than my name
Or did they see who I was,
right through my pain
I guess it was the goal
Never seen and never known
Never wanting anybody to understand
What went untold
Now I realized I was foolish
I should have recognized my lies
I should have leaned on more people
Instead of suffering inside
If I had reached out to somebody
And talked about my days
I could have gained some confidence
And turned around my ways
Im a girl in her bed
Alone in her world
Wondering what would have happened
If she had called out to be heard

wanting to quit
with every fiber of my being
can't help but despise
this opportunity I should be seizing

walls are up
emotions locked down
head above water
trying not to drown
so much stress
anxiety
and depression
I flirt with death
and hide my expression
emotions elude me
though I feel them intensely
I am two things at once
both numb and full feeling
I spend most of my time
avoiding and daydreaming
searching for something
that can give my life meaning
I search for fulfillment
something or someone
emotional stability
comfort or safety
with so much to figure out
and a lot I still don't know
I'm trying to do my best
and that's enough for now
