Painkillers on an empty stomach Because once it’s too late Everything comes right back up You try to convince your body that your stomach is empty As your body spasms violently until you throw up acids You worry about your teeth On your way to your bed Hugging your bucket, the only thing real and physical You rest your head, carefully lowering it Still you feel your blood blindingly rushing to your head Your dark room is to bright Your quiet house too loud Noise pierces through your ears into your brain Your bed exists too much Every movement sends waves of pain through your head You can’t sleep on your back, but you can’t turn around You can’t sob, so the tears silently roll into your ears You can’t move your face, it has to be frozen You want your mommy, but you can’t call So every breath has a name, murmured against the pain: mommy, mommy, mommy Mommy comes checking on you rarely She’s afraid to come, because she knows she’ll only cause more pain She opens the door as quietly as she can She puts a cool wet cloth on your forehead as careful as she can As your eyes flutter, you see her helplessly watch her child suffer Your mind is far away And your body takes control But the pain comes with you Nothing but the pain is real With every wave of pain you wonder if this time it’ll be enough pain to pass out As every second stretches to infinity Past and future blur and vanish This is your whole existence now As merciful darkness unfolds around you You calmly wonder if It’s sleep or death

They tell you not to smoke cigarettes, you are too young anyway. Where there is a will, there is a way They won't let you smoke a hookah, it's even worse! Where there is a will, there is a way They forbid drinking at your age, they call it underage drinking. Where there is a will, there is a way They tell you **** is dangerous, if they found out, you're ****** Where there is a will, there is a way They tell you not to combine alcohol and **** even less when it's wodka and out of a **** Where there is a will, there is a way They fence in the roof of the highest tower, the teacher says there's been too many jumpers. Where there is a will, there is a way They can't understand you, they won't let you escape. Where there is a will, there is a way

Where there is a will...
Oh, please leave! All you cause is grieve I can't stand you any longer The pain doesn't really make me stronger My hopes been dashed just too often The pain of every dashed hope will not soften Oh, please leave! All you cause is grieve...

Hope
I always try to be not too happy Because my luck is gappy I prefer to be always down Than falling again and again I freely give away my crown To protect me from pain Cause to hit the ground Causes an irreparable wound The pain sets in Happiness is as thin as skin I am afraid of being happy Because happiness is treacherous And quotes about it are sappy To believe them is dangerous I rather live through a veil Than to admit my fail

Treacherous Happiness
Don't think for a second That just because you're Kind Sweet Thoughtful That I'll open up to you quickly. My heart has been sealed Protected by Locks Chains Fortresses Layers upon layers. Whether you want to be friend or lover You must understand I prefer books to people; They are less likely to let you down. You'll have to gain my trust over and over again; I've been hurt too many times. If I let you in, take what I give you; Not everyone gets past my walls. Don't assume you know me Just because I opened up I have given all of me To very few people. Most only have a part or two. As much as you may make me laugh Or as much fun as we may have I'm still Cautious Wary Tentative About letting you get too close. Just because I don't talk to you Every second of every day, means I need Time to myself Peace and quiet To sort my thoughts As I recharge from spending time with people.

Ode of the Broken Introvert
I can't trust anyone No matter how hard I try 'Cause I've learnt my lesson And know I can't believe my eye The one I once let in Disillusioned me forever Taught me that feelings are a deadly sin Can't manage to get rid of them, however I'm condemned to never lose control To push away anyone that comes close To enchain heart and soul To make sure no one knows This way I'm always alone Hurt those who adore me Seem to others as if from stone Because from any endearment I flee I can't trust anyone. I am a ruin.

I'm a ruin #2
I am all wrecked Do act correct The way people expect Do seem perfect Like I have nothing to regret Always trying to be pleasing But inside I'm leaving And nothing can keep me from dreaming 'Cause dreaming keeps me from freezing While freezing keeps me from healing I am all wrecked Doing things people wouldn't expect Not correct And not perfect With lots to regret I drink, like I'm obsessed Boys look at me impressed Want me to do what they request Think me completely messed And I am at best, if not ... depressed I can't let go of what destroys me Probably drink a lot to flee And smoke so many to feel free But can't find the key To make me happy I'm all wrecked I am a ruin

I'm a ruin #1
Shadow in my soul Shadow in a hole Shadow in my heart Shadow in the dark Shadow in my eyes Shadow in the skies Shadow in my brain Shadow makin' insane Shadow in my vein Shadow causin' pain Shadow in my sleep Shadow makin' me weep Shadow gettin' thinner Unveiling a sinner Shadow gettin' thicker Not a light's flicker

Shadow In Me
My heart sinks to the ground To it it's bound I wonder: will you come around? With you it'll be unbound You would hold it high Making it feel the deep blue sky Where it wouldn't wish to die So it had no need to cry

Heart
Unloved I live an Unlovely life, treated Unloving by people I'm Unable to love Unlovable I am treating people Unlovingly myself Unlovable in the literal sense: the impossibility of being loved
