I'm a loner with an old soul and a young heart.
My parents didn't raise a fighter but its what I am. So when They give up it kills me And when I fight and push against what's socially acceptable it hurst them. Sorry Dad

Sorry Dad
I find that all of the people i make friends with Are off kilter People that are broken beyond my repair And yet I try to put them back together again They do say that birds of a feather flock together Maybe its because The sane people make me feel Like the odd one out Or Maybe its because the Crazies Make me feel sane But anyways, i can already see what will be the death of me

I can see the end before it begins
This isn't my makeup This is my war paint. I put it on everyday so i can remind myself i am fighting a loosing battle with the world.

War
It feels like I keep my feelings in a bucket And each day it gets heavier and heavier Until I empty it. But until Then I carry this bucket around It drags in the dirt behind me and weighs me down. And at the end of each day I feel so heavy myself. Every night I sort through the bucket, All the anger is crusted to the bottom and It's impossible to scrub away Happiness is always falling out. It takes a lot more happiness to fill that bucket and even then it weights less that even a speck of anger. It takes a drop of sadness, a smidge of pain, or even a dash of frustration to overpower the happiness and shove it from the bucket. Finally one day I look down at this bucket of mine and I realize, I'm tired of lugging it around and carrying the wounds and anger of my past self. Tonight I empty my bucket I'll let the pain and sadness go and set the anger free After all I can't hold on to it forever

My Feelings Bucket
We talk about pain like it doesn't hurt We talk about love but we don't know it We talk about that girl over there, but she didn't do a thing And then we have the audacity to laugh it off like it's no big deal That's all we do now laugh and talk Maybe we don't know what we're talking about instead of pretending to have the knowledge we should get a feel ourselves take the pain we've inflicted upon others And maybe just maybe we'll get how big of a deal it really is

Pretending to know
I have yet to find something good in saying bye I rarely say it to my mother or father, friends, siblings, or people I've just met I have every intent on seeing you again, so why would i say good bye? So instead i part with Farewell, So Long, See you soon, It was a pleasure to meet you, and my favorite; Love you.

Ways to say Goodbye
I refuse to contort my ways to appease you       You and your broken ways. I refuse to change my life to match a broken society.       A society with an incurable illness. I refuse to be a plaything.        A one time entertainer. I refuse your ******** reality and substitute my ******* own. So Go Shove it.

Refuse
I Used To Be an **Optimistic Child** Believing everything was black and white. ~~~~ It was the first summer in our new home. I was six or seven My Father needed help in the lawn so feeling in a helping mood, I went out. His hands were in the dirt and his forehead was bronzed. He waved his arm at a small, Delicate flower. Go pull weeds. Not one to question him while, he was busy, I went over to inspect the flower- i mean **** How could something so tiny, even more do than my hands, be considered a **** My tiny mind thought weeds were dark green and barley clinging to life, with thorns that sliced at other helpless plants and animals. Almost like bad people. I imagine it was then that My small mind had begun to grasp at the idea that plants and people alike could deceive you.
