Still trying to find my place in the world.
I sit up in my bed, wondering if you feel the same tension that courses through me. Your feet trill in and out of your room, and you leave the hall light on. It illumines the cracks around my door and I wait to see shadowy feet at the bottom accompanied with a faint knock. It never comes. Is it just me? Am I the only one breaking from our recent distance of souls? We used to be so in sync, and together we made a harmony that I now can only recall like an aged dream. It seems that we have both switched keys in this song, and now our notes only create dissonance. I was sure our tunes would meet again to compose a grand resolution, but it seems that you stopped listening long ago.

best friends, roommates, strangers
I remember that feeling that heavy weight I held just wanting to die already but being terrified of hell I was suicidal but only in my mind I could never make my body commit that selfish, wanted crime my breathing had no point and my life felt like death I couldn't see past the pain that I wanted to forget "you'll always be alone" kept ringing through my head telling me that all would be fine when I was finally dead I just wish I could travel back and tell me where I am out of that black hole and into life again they say it gets better which is hard to believe but I now can testify that it rang true for me

it gets better
You left a hole in my heart when you said "Goodbye." I begged at your feet for a reason why. Your face, stone, showed no sympathy At the broken pieces you made of me. You left a hole in my heart when you walked away. I keep trying to fill it, but it stays the same. Everyday, a challenge to breathe. Every second, more depressing. You left a hole in my heart now that I'm alone. The darkness consumes my lonely soul. Happiness is just a faint memory Of the life I lived when you were with me.

You Left
I'm better off without you I'm really starting to see Now that time has past I've dried my tear soaked sleeves I thought you were my angel What a cunning disguise Turns out you were my demon Crippling my mind So thanks for the memories But I'm finally moving on It seems that to catch my breath I needed you gone

And I Love Too Much
Life is a mountain. We're all here trying to climb it, always searching for the top. There are things that promise to bring us there, such as money or power, but they still leave us climbing. Most people will spend their lives on this endless hunt for contentment- the top of the mountain. But there are some who realize that the top of the mountain is only an illusion that keeps us climbing. You can either spend your life controlled by the climb, or you can execute the only power you possess, and let go. Maybe, upon reaching the bottom, there is finally relief.

Suicide
I'm afraid to speak my mind because I'm afraid I'll offend So I keep it all inside Control the message that I send They say not to hoard feelings but don't you dare disagree Because no answer is wrong unless it contradicts me

I'm slowly, silently dying. No one knows. No one cares.

Worth
I've missed you with a never ending sorrow, because the moments without you are like flowers with no color. Still alive, yes, but the beauty has been stripped away. You are the color to my world. With you, there is beauty.
