22/Cisgender Female Speak, you'll be silenced. / Write, you'll be heard.
It's time to rest It's time to lay down in bed Take your time, hon. It's time to feel It's time to be filled Take it all in Hug your pillow Tuck yourself in Take your mind into a ride In a world none can see That makes you feel alive Take a deep breath Let yourself go The night is by your side When your world is at peace Your heart's dreams come to life

Night By Your Side
I am in distress 'Cos we still keep trying to have to stress That we still should rest While we keep trying to give our best In a world where you gotta move, where you gotta prove To people you don't know that you're the best To hell with the others, it's a test It's always nothing personal, "I just mean business." But it's tiring, alright. We keep saying we are fine Even though it's outta line We're fine, should be fine I'm fine, I'm fine Fake it 'til we make it: 'Tis the demand of the grind

Take Care (We Don't Care)
Oh how bright it shines I feel the other side Oh how sweet Oh how peaceful it could be The days are gone The nights have dawned Is it the end of time The tears have dried The eyes have smiled Is it the end of time Oh how peaceful it is

Breathe Like You're In Theater
To the outside world, it's only getting up in the morning once the alarm roars to life; But to me, it's a battle within on whether it's still worth getting up today. To the outside world, it's only reading mundane words on the screen and respond to some; But to me, it's trying to stop my fingers and arms from trembling as I scroll through words I can't process. To the outside world, it's simply going through the goals of the day. But to me, it's desperately holding myself to prevent or at least fight through another breakdown.

To the outside world,
Everyone has a dream Very few have the guts to chase them Even fewer are those who reach them And I'm one of the many who settled

Dream
If given the chance to have 5 minutes with you, I want to share this with you: Your music keeps me going. You may have heard that sentence a thousand times. So, if you would allow me to paint you a picture. I work in a job I don't like. The job itself is not bad. It's actually very meaningful. I thought meaningful was enough for me. Apparently, it is not; I want it to be both meaningful and something I truly enjoy. Enjoy in a sense that even though it's difficult, it is something I'll wake up for. It's something that would make me forget time. And for me, that is singing, acting, performing, and teaching. But it is not my reality right now. So, every Monday, I drag myself to work. As each day passes, the guilt of being late subsides to none. Sadly, the thought of having a responsibility to other people has become less compelling for me to work. I've spiraled into deeper, and darker realms where I've lost control over my mind and body. And to force myself, a desperate attempt to get up, I play your songs. Next thing I know, I sing your tune, dance to your beat, then the impossible starts to happen. I begin to cook food for myself to eat, I open my laptop, and get started on my emails -- I finally have enough to start my day, to get it going. These maybe simple, mundane things -- but they mean my livelihood, my future, my life. You help me live my life. Thank you for your music. I hope you stay truthful to your tune, to your beat, to your message.

To the artists whose songs I listen to
Choose one or the other You'll be the same no matter Eyes fixed on the outside Fingers pointed left and right The chaos and the thunder Lives in you, deeper and deeper So do what you can, do what you must You'll be the same until you decide you're not

It Floods Inside on Broad Daylight
I hear them say, "You only have one life, be grateful Keep your stance firm, be fateful." I say to myself, "I try to -- every cold night, every warm day. But as I wake up, I can't help but drag myself away." I hear them say, "Always look at the bright side, There are reasons for what transpires in life." I say to myself, "I said I try to -- every cold night, every warm day. But every little good thing seems to always come with a price." And then they say, "Oh, ye of little faith, stand tall, He is with us, and I'll always pray for you." Yet again I cry, "I did not ask for your faith, nor did I ask for you to pray. Listen for once, and one day, maybe you'll know what you can and need to say."

I of Little Faith, They Say
Wide awake when I need to be asleep Staring through the emptiness, asking again "what could be" If I stayed, would I be happy? Because when I left, I sure didn't feel any different Unsure on when I went wrong Went with my gut, felt like I was fleetingly strong Yet here I lay on a cold night Wishing I was someone else, or someone else had this life
