we don't have to be ordinary.
The bullet flew so quickly from the pistol it felt like the blood in my veins stopped for a moment As if quantum physics were just a mere myth Of random laws and physicists Each individual cell and atom in my body stopped and rushed to abyss Thump, thump. As the bullet reached the end of your skull, I swore I died instead of you But instead of dying and leaving the realm of the living I enter bliss and happiness Flowers scattered over bright green grass for miles, Soft and whispering wind rushed past my freckled skin The trees swayed with the wind It brought an epitome of perfection, only your carcass brought death and decay Snapping back to reality, your eyes rolled back, and your jaw opened wide I wanted to tear it open, to give you a somewhat permanent evil smile Your body hit the ground so hard, the sound vibrated across my body, giving my heart the ability to beat normally again You looked so peaceful for a mere moment I swore I could have kissed you even though I despise your very being Your skin quickly went colorless, and you laid there so still I burst into panicked laughter, and covered my filthy mouth It was definitely rude to laugh at someone's death My stomach growls, and my hands shake with satisfaction I've finally done it. I killed my insecurities After a short moment of freedom and what seemed to be like genuine tears of joy... Your eyes roll back to normal, and they focus me closely Rising from the ground, you flick your hair back as if the wind blew it out of place You fix your shirt, as if the blood stains weren't there "It's so silly to think you could get rid of me so easily," you say. I'm never going to feel alive ever again

Killing My Insecurities
The bullet flew so quickly from the pistol it felt like the blood in my veins stopped for a moment As if quantum physics were just a mere myth Of random laws and physicists Each individual cell and atom in my body stopped and rushed to abyss Thump, thump. As the bullet reached the end of your skull, I swore I died instead of you But instead of dying and leaving the realm of the living I enter bliss and happiness Flowers scattered over bright green grass for miles, Soft and whispering wind rushed past my freckled skin The trees swayed with the wind It brought an epitome of perfection, only your carcass brought death and decay Snapping back to reality, your eyes rolled back, and your jaw opened wide I wanted to tear it open, to give you a somewhat permanent evil smile Your body hit the ground so hard, the sound vibrated across my body, giving my heart the ability to beat normally again You looked so peaceful for a mere moment I swore I could have kissed you even though I despise your very being Your skin quickly went colorless, and you laid there so still I burst into panicked laughter, and covered my filthy mouth It was definitely rude to laugh at someone's death My stomach growls, and my hands shake with satisfaction I've finally done it.

Stay or Go
everyone has some sort of addiction that takes away the pain some worse than others but there is always something to take it away mine was a physical addiction a blade cutting deep into my skin allowing blood to spill out each drop signifying my pain or a flame running across my skin the hundreds of degrees burning the light being my pain or holding that gun to my head the bullet showing all the pain all of the years and years of hurt this was my addiction physically damaging myself as well as mentally but the physical pain was to take away the mental pain and for a short time it did for just a bit I was distracted from my pain and hurt but it was never enough to make it go away no matter how much I tried it was always there and even got worse time after time but if it's an addiction then for some reason you enjoy it or you hope that it will take the pain away why are you addicted to this [bnm]

Addicted
maybe to this world I am just a burden just someone who is here weighing others down in no way impacting people for the good like I am just sitting on their shoulders or pulling them down tearing them apart being of no good to them is that what anyone wants to have happen to them is that what anyone wants to feel like they are in this world so just let yourself go you're better off that way people are better off without you [bnm]

Burden
everything is becoming a blur slowly fading feeling myself let go going to another place and leaving this one behind this place that has you need to be somewhere that doesn't have you where I can't see or think of you I'm falling up into the clouds going higher and higher but feeling lower and lower all of this just to let go of you to forget that I am missing you maybe this time I won't wake up [bnm]

Faded
I am stuck between somewhere and nowhere searching to be found but still miles away it's pitch black here but I'm okay feeling not like nothing but not like something I'm not living but I'm not dying just simply breathing but I'm okay close to letting go but still holding on but I'm okay my heart is shattered like glass broken in millions of pieces but I'm okay you left me without a reason you left me to think of the reason you left me to cry at night but I'm okay [bnm]

Shattered
I was never good at saying goodbye and I never thought I'd have to say that to you but I guess all good things come to an end especially when you least expect good things we were more than a good thing you were the best thing that has ever happened to me and that was the worst thing that could've happened why is it even called a goodbye nothing was good about that I lost you you were the most important thing to me you were my everything my whole world and I thought I was yours but I guess I was wrong all the things you said you never meant we were destined for goodbye from the beginning [bnm]

Our Destiny
as the acid runs down my face out of my eyes I feel it all across my cheeks leaving burn marks where it touched my skin most people would hate the feeling of this but for me it's normal I'm used to it I like it no.. I love it I love the feeling as the acid burns my cheeks it makes me forget how much I miss you it takes that pain away just for a bit but yet I still think about you I think about us our love our hopes our dreams I never thought I would see you go or ever have to miss you but I do every drop of that acid represents you and all your memories and tonight that acid pours out [bnm]

Burning Tears
our love is like a song something I fell asleep to every night the song never seemed to come to an end I could just listen to the beautiful sound of the instruments playing every night it was like the sound of your voice telling me you loved me something I always looked forward to it was calming and peaceful when go to sleep and I listen to that melody every now and again I hear something a little different but I didn't think anything of it maybe it was to make the song better as time went on it kept changing but now it's completely different it's louder and not soothing the instruments are out of tune to the point they sounded like screams our screams I remember during one night I was listening to that song the instruments sounded louder than it has ever been and in the middle it got silent no longer was our song playing all I heard was dead silence never again did I hear our song playing it had officially ended [bnm]

Never Ending Song
holding onto you is like holding your breath sooner or later you won't be able to breathe you will just be gasping for air or you will suffocate yourself but letting go of you seems impossible I don't know if I can I don't even know if I want to I am still in love with you I just wish you were still in love with me then maybe I could breathe again and I wouldn't have to just hold onto you I would have you [bnm]
