Is it really worth it? Does loving you out weigh the cons? You mean everything to me. But I have these voices in my head Telling me it's wrong. These voices make me second guess everything. I don't know. What if I'm doing something wrong? What if you don't really love me? What if I'm just fooling myself? ... What if you're just playing with me? I've had my heart played with before. What if this is all just set up for heartbreak? I can't withstand another break up. What if? ... These voices keep me up at night. I can barely sleep. Sometimes I don't sleep at all. I just lay awake thinking of all the possibilities. I can hear the voices telling me that you don't like me. I can hear them saying things that I know aren't true. But they make me doubt everything. I don't know what the truth is anymore. And that scares me.

Voices II
My death will be liberating. And I do not say that in the sense that I am going to find a cliff and take a good jump off. No. I am just trying to find a clever way to tell you that I do not know what is going to happen next. You see, there is a fine line between dreaming and mortality and I am finding out for myself that being in love does not always involve being awake. And for my sake I fall in love with daydreams, nightmares, hazy realities and the hung-over idea of not being enough. It is all out of my hands.                  It is all out of time. And the only thing I have left to do, now, is decide.

I fall in love.
Do you miss me, like I miss you? Will you find someone else to love? Or will you look back and smile, say it was true? Do you love me, like I love you? The way I'd give up the world in return of our memories, that were so blue. Do you want me, like I want you? The way I smile at the thought of us, being alone, lying under the moon. Do you remember me, like I remember you? The way I wake up everyday with surprise and tears of joy thinking you'd be here, stupid me, shedding worthless tears. Do you hate this distance. like I do? The way I cry day and night, grasping onto my last inch of hope before I lose sanity, and become cruel. Do you think about us, like I do? The way I look at other boys and wish they were you..

Do You?
I wonder what it would be like if the tables were turned You could have all the knowledge that I’ve learned But hurt in a way that wasn’t earned Swap you’re heart for one that yearns I wonder if you hurt like the ones who are alone The ones they would disown A reality you can’t postpone All the more real when you are grown I wonder if you spent a day ignored Feeling like who you are just makes them bored Everyday leaving you floored Alone in the world Would you stand up for yourself Or hide behind a smile What is easier? Facing your fears or letting the pain compile Or you could just give up Not give yourself another day But that’s no solution There has to be a better way Some might pray Some might run away But you can choose to love yourself anyway

Self love
We are the ones who are hard to understand We'll be the last ones in the movie theatre because the ending scene made us cry We'll stop to smell the roses because they deserve to be appreciated We are the ones who will take the time to learn what keeps you up at night We are the ones who will imagine an entire future of adventures with the people who show us love We are the ones who will love you more than we love ourselves We will give you our strongest parts in hopes that we can make things better We desire to see you become the best you to make sure that you always feel our love We crave affection and appreciation We give a piece of ourselves away every day sometimes to people who don't deserve it Our love is easy to take advantage of and sometimes we don't get back the love that we give away When we hurt, we crumble and fall apart We constantly have to put ourselves back together We are more fragile than we like to give off We carry our emotions on our sleeves Our flaws have the ability to consume us We aren't afraid to give you the world but we are afraid to feel unloved We want you to see what we see We want you to understand where we're coming from We are good people with good intentions We are stronger than we believe Not everyone can feel the way we feel We feel too much, too often We are not hard to love We are something not everyone knows how to love But you need to remember that your worth does not change just because no one is there to appreciate you, to remind you You are not any less lovable You are the most lovable person in the world You are a light that the world needs Your kindness is not your weakness You do not need to change for anyone's acceptance You do not need to stop giving love just because you don't get any back Your heart is the best thing about you And one day when you least expect it someone will notice you from across the room and know exactly how to love you They will think all of these things are beautiful They will deserve the love you can give They will fill the empty space in your heart But for now, don't stop feeling We are the ones who feel everything so deeply We are the ones who can't give up because We are the ones who will teach the world how to love

To the ones who feel everything
We are the ones who are hard to understand We'll be the last ones in the movie theatre because the ending scene made us cry We'll stop to smell the roses because they deserve to be appreciated We are the ones who will take the time to learn what keeps you up at night We are the ones who will imagine an entire future of adventures with the people who show us love We are the ones who will love you more than we love ourselves We will give you our strongest parts in hopes that we can make things better We desire to see you become the best you to make sure that you always feel our love We crave affection and appreciation We give a piece of ourselves away every day sometimes to people who don't deserve it Our love is easy to take advantage of and sometimes we don't get back the love that we give away When we hurt, we crumble and fall apart We constantly have to put ourselves back together We are more fragile than we like to give off We carry our emotions on our sleeves Our flaws have the ability to consume us We aren't afraid to give you the world but we are afraid to feel unloved We want you to see what we see We want you to understand where we're coming from We are good people with good intentions We are stronger than we believe Not everyone can feel the way we feel We feel too much, too often We are not hard to love We are something not everyone knows how to love But you need to remember that your worth does not change just because no one is there to appreciate you, to remind you You are not any less lovable You are the most lovable person in the world You are a light that the world needs Your kindness is not your weakness You do not need to change for anyone's acceptance You do not need to stop giving love just because you don't get any back Your heart is the best thing about you And one day when you least expect it someone will notice you from across the room and know exactly how to love you They will think all of these things are beautiful They will deserve the love you can give They will fill the empty space in your heart But for now, don't stop feeling We are the ones who feel everything so deeply We are the ones who can't give up because We are the ones who will teach the world how to love

i would do anything to have your lips stutter my name let your words grasp my hand watch your eyes search for mine. to wait for you is impossible yet divine when we exist in places so far from where we are destined. we are parallel lines i would do anything for us to be a painting instead i'd color you in hues of unrequited love and put us on a frame i'll give it to you and say 'keep it. keep us. keep me' 'why' 'because we are so much more than just parallel lines'

we are (not) parallel lines
Maybe the one talked over and hushed Grew up to be quiet, reserved Trying to develop a voice of their own But it was never heard Maybe the one seeking attention Spent their life being ignored Experiences shape perceptions And perceptions shape our world But this is where we start, not end After all, we're not cement We change and bend and learn and grow We can end above and start below Beliefs can change and so can we What we were, we don't have to be

Cement
I still remember the day you walked into my life. It was lightly raining and the sun was just starting to come out, but it was still dark and gloomy. It's funny how the moment I see that geeky-looking kind of guy, I never thought I'd be so in love with him till today. It's frustrating that I can't re-live that moment, but I'm happy that I've met you. But, all of this jealousy seeing you with her, daydreaming and running away from life, it's not healthy for me. I am very sure that I love you as I keep on giving excuses for all the pain you've caused me. I still think of your feelings after all the pain. I was ready to be there for you even after ending things. This isn't healthy for me, I know, but I can't help it when it comes to you.

when it is you.
Now you're gone And you’re gone for good So I’ll try not to miss you But I’ll cry if I would It’s been a year and half And I’m still not over you Even listening to songs Reminds me of You were so different My right kind of wrong Though you are a mess It’s still you that I long You never will be my perfect But that's not *** I require Because I accepted you for whom you are A cheat, a kid, a lair Everything around me Somehow links up to you This shatters me into pieces An leaves my eyes with dew Why do you have to go? Why can’t you stay with me? I can’t live without you Why can’t you see? I promise to give it all Only give me a second try Whatever you want will be done This time I won’t make you cry It’s still your call in the end If you want to stay or want to go But if you want me I’ll be there I just want you to know I can wait for you forever I’ll be by your side when you need me You got away by mistake And so if you want to get back I am and will always be ready
