They don't know I smile knowing this but inside I burn in despair Conflicted, I find myself staring at my shadow I wish they knew I wish they didn't Its the "what comes after" that causes me to hide inside my fragile skin Its the "what if" that has my heart throbbing For now the lights will be off and when you come looking for answers, I won't be home

They don't know I smile knowing this but inside I burn in despair Conflicted, I find myself staring at my shadow I wish they knew I wish they didn't Its the "what comes after" that causes me to hide inside my fragile skin Its the "what if" that has my heart throbbing For now the lights will be off and when you come looking for answers, I won't be home

Smile I say, Inhale with the knowing of yesterdays rain Believe in the good and bad Smile I say, Day is for memories and Night is for thoughts Don't confuse them Smile I say, Sadness is only temporary and never perpetual Happiness is perpetual and never temporary Smile I say, Not because you have to but because you want to The pressure and air that lingers around you is young and only wants to prepare you For what? Smile I say and soon you will know

I got used to the saying, "It is societies fault." I got used to the saying, "It is the universes fault." I got used to saying these excuses. Every fall and twist that cracked my shell, I would scream and point at the excuse. The more and more I was pulled and tied, I would scream and point at the excuse. This is not my fault, I would say. This is theirs. Every insecurity that was tattooed onto my fragile skin, every rejection that was pinned on my forehead, and every mistake was a glowing neon sign on my back was not my fault I said. It was theirs. Little did I know that these excuses blurred my sight and the truth was lost in the pile of excuses. I lost count. I forgot who I was. I lost my ability to keep my head up. I forgot that I was strong. Little did I know that all these excuses were lies keeping me back from unveiling the truth. The truth was that it was not societies or the universes fault--It was mine. I gave power to the excuses that destroyed me. I let it control me. If I knew the truth ahead of time, I would have tried harder.

I hide behind these paper walls Words sprayed on the walls Revealing a different universe An escape A portal A second chance A new perspective I hide behind these paper walls Because I can't live in this world That has no escape That has no portal That has no second chances That has no happily ever afters I hide I hide I hide I hide for freedom

Self centered and selfish Earth revolves around us and only us No one else matters Our problems are number one, above death and hunger Selfish it is called Survival of the fittest because only the strong survive If the boat was on fire, we would jump first, not caring if the others are hurt Jump because we must take care of ourselves Jump because it is our life Jump because we might not get another chance at life Jump because we must be strong Jump because we are self centered This sounds wrong and selfish but you know what they say, the truth hurts.

Self centered and selfish Earth revolves around us and only us No one else matters Our problems are number one, above death and hunger Selfish it is called Survival of the fittest because only the strong survive If the boat was on fire, we would jump first, not caring if the others are hurt Jump because we must take care of ourselves Jump because it is our life Jump because we might not get another chance at life Jump because we must be strong Jump because we are self centered This sounds wrong and selfish but you know what they say, the truth hurts.

I hate the part where I mess everything up My insecurities shadow my mind I begin to think that I am not good enough That I am weak My mouth opens releasing a gas that poisons everyone Especially me -Susan

You were my personal high Everything about you made my stomach light My mind became murky I am too high to let you go I am too high to say goodbye I need you by my side everyday and every night Little did I know that I was the only one high on love You were clean You were never high Now you are gone And I am alone Broken Depressed Empty Wishing that I never got high on love -Susan
