22/F I may have faith to make mountains fall, but if I lack love then I am nothing at all.
This life’s so long I just wish it would end Before you move on Cause you’ve seen who I am Will you still love me When my beauty fades Cause I’m good for nothing I’m weak, I’m insane Do you still love me I’m more than afraid I can’t eat I can’t sleep I need you to stay I try so hard To be strong in my mind I build myself up Then fail every time I keep having this dream And I’m watching myself Lying down in a casket So peaceful and still So far away from the things that I’ve done Can’t be touched by anyone Can’t be told I’m not good enough Cause I’m finally dead and I’m finally gone And all the ones that called me weak That cut me down to meet their needs Needed me to scoff and say “At least I’m not living that way” They flock to see my lifeless corpse And poke fun one last time of course Cause she was the worst of us all The lowest, how dare she struggle and fall And that confirms it, you’ve seen it first here Watching I shudder, my very worst fear She’s everything we said she was A terrible daughter, always worrying us She does it for attention “Wait that’s not what we meant” Your opinions don’t matter cause I’m already dead

Agony
Small between my fingers Like dainty colored lights Red and green like winter Yet we’ve only touched July I love it when we walk this way My soul is pure My thoughts don’t stray We don’t have to speak to love To be alive feels good enough Please let’s walk just one more time I killed the girl that crept inside She was ugly, stupid, all she did was complain I can’t escape the mirrors She’s right in my face Brandishing puppets of people I’ve known I only see you but my fingers are cold The game is endless yet I can’t resist I hate when she laughs but I knew she’d win I’ll keep on running towards the warmth of July You’ll never see how that girl has died

Being nice in this world It doesn’t get you so far It’s okay to be cold Let the stickers on your heart Encapsulate your muscles Constrict your veins If you never let it out It’s only yours to contain The agony inside Crying out to feel The laughter that hides Saying it all isn’t real I take black stickers I cover myself It’s easy to be bitter There’s no one to tell

Hypoglycemia
I hate any man That looks me in the eye In the lobby as we stand In darkness as we lie I despise any man That pinches my hip A wretched hand groping past raw, silent lips I hate the man who thinks he must be the one Upon my thoughts non stop when it’s all said and done Darling don’t you know you aren’t in control of me? Darling don’t you know I’m darker than your darkest deed? Darling don’t you know your ********** just won’t last? Once I’ve gotten what I need another fool has passed Darling don’t you know those nasty hands around my throat? They’ll beg and plead and pinch my hips Baby please don’t go

Tricks Are For Kids
I had a dream about us Before I said the things I did I felt the warmth of your love Like the sun's gentle kiss We'd run around in the backyard Pretending we were fish and sharks Grandma said don't open your eyes Rainbows dancing 'round the lights The chlorine burned but it's fun to see Changing shapes and warped little feet I carried you, you carried me Now it's all too heavy for me Even just to drag myself I'm always looking for someone's help I'll never admit when I'm in need I just get mad when no one sees My mind is no else's to read I should really be able to do these things *I had a dream... Before I said... Sunburned shoulders... Chafed and red... Don't open your eyes... Be home on time...* No one else can read my mind

Chlorine
Nothing I do ever seems to make sense I'm just a fool with selfish intent The things I like do nothing for me Except get me so high I forget what it means To keep someone's promise or show up on time It's all I can think of, only thing on my mind You'd think I'm a fiend when I'm all out of tree Suddenly everything makes sense to me The concept of family, having goals in life They say it's what happens Your motivation dies It's inevitable, what your brain does When instead of reading books you grow up doing drugs "Your mom's a teacher you can't be that way" "If you only knew" I just want to say "Your dad's been there, can't you talk to him?" It's hard to be an advocate For someone who doesn't want to help themselves Someone you thought you knew so well Someone who was funny, and brave, and smart From the rest they seemed so far apart I've become the person I thought I'd never be Nothing I do makes sense to me

Hungry
I can see why you'd be mad I can see the times we had A movie when I close my eyes Happy days and better times When I try to get out now It's wrong, I really don't know how When you asked what keeps me sane I should've said what I wanted to say I can see why you'd be mad You're all I've really ever had I close my eyes and run so fast Stumbling along this rocky path I should've called when I had the chance I threw away the trust we had

Admission
This is the worst it's ever been It's raining outside Can't get back in My keys are buried in the ground Guess I was hoping they wouldn't be found Now they're just impossibly deep Too far for you, way beyond me I can see them in my mind Taunting me behind my eyes I shouldn't have left but I did Singing birds and screaming kids Empty hands - lost fingertips This is the worst it's ever been

Hawaiian Shorts in Frog Hollow
I thought of this off the top of my head The wind really ***** when the light's almost dead I turn my back or try cupping my hand If that doesn't work, find a new place to stand Sometimes the trees start to freak me out Looking so alive like they'd scream and shout If they had a voice I wonder what they'd say "My arms are asleep and the suns in my face" ? They must see a lot being stuck in one place Giving us life as we take it away I'm so greedy but it's not the same I often see things I'd like to take Before I reach out I feel so ashamed There isn't much value attached to my name I'd rather wait, there's less risk involved Every time I take a chance I end up losing it all

I Want To Call You
I want everything back But would I really trade it all? The times we had, good and bad I just wish I could call You're right here but I've pushed you away I guess there isn't much I'd change I know I'm so impossible to love Afraid you'll get tired Knowing you'll give up So I let go before you can There's not as much pain when the blade's in my hand
