What's the point of talking if no one is listening / / Ig: terrance_767
I watched you grow while I'm waiting to stand on my own I'm still waiting, and sinking The rain blocks air from my throat Time goes regardless of if I'm growing heartless You left me undone I'm waiting for someone to pick the pieces up All I can do is push them under a rug You're soring, but I'm barely crawling I want to let go and slip away I know there's no place for me And I don't want to know how you've been But I'll still ask I won't wait forever for this transition to pass Any longer I'll let go and sink My undeserving body will lose the air I stole When the bubbles stop I'll finally give back to the world

The Waiting
Tightning these loose ends will never be snug all around Something will always slip through my grasp As I'm picking up the pieces you'll still sleep sound I'll always find a way to change but I'll never transform into who I want to be Things will go fine for a while and it seems I'll never cease to smile When things are going well I always seem to find a way to make it hell Does anyone try as hard as me to make sure they have personality? Find me where I don't want to be found Talk to me when I'm lost without words Hear me where I don't think I'll be heard Live as though I never existed at all

Stretch
What I'm forced into is cold I don't belong I can never fathom what I'm told How can I be on my own? No condolences, just good byes No direction, no hope Everyone can see the torment in my eyes Cast astray to change that'll stay the same I'm walking into a room full of cliffs blind This noose fits my neck better than I'll ever fit in The past no longer matters the future is what I want to leave behind How can I be on my own? I possess fear of the unknown

Just Good Byes
I'm suffocating in a old classroom because I have a chalkboard covered with equations of me trying to figure out *Who the **** You're talking To Like that* Weak I was but I'm strong know Mind and body and my fist have an itch that can only be soothed by burying them in your face ***** This heart that never intends harm is calling for ARMS

Chalk Dust
I yell to be heard No more will I be invisible I'm not scared I will rise above the rest The base in my voice boils the blood in my chest As I lay exhausted from my efforts to be appreciated I hear them speak as though I've never spoke at all I saw them walk through me like I was a ghost If I'm a ghost why can't I walk through walls Pain is my only escape that listens to me most

Sweet Pain
She's so perfect for me even though the circumstances aren't perfect... She has no idea how much she's worth and it's an honor to help show her...

An Honor
I never thought I could feel this again To have a blue sky even when it rains I know that I should calm down My oh my the seasons have changed Autumn passed and yet another winter has left me deranged Is it love or is it just a breath of fresh air? Never before have I met someone so rare Should I fall in or should I step back? Any distance is too far from my arms I'm glad that we both leave each other so charmed Her lips can flip all my frowns Her voice makes me float and leaves my soul earthbound I know that I need to calm down

Should I fall in or should I step back?
Trying is just another thing to keep me down Smiling is just stretching my engraved frown I saw the world around me up to a  standard I'm below it with the environment making me stranded They say I have potential I don't think I can leave my mind's shell Long ago I exposed myself to the truth They don't see that I'm just wasted youth Hope comes with a cost The hopeless who made a future for themselves because among those who are eternally lost They think I have it all together They're confused when my mind is somewhere else Handicapped by the world I've been forced into They don't see what I have to see every day I'm not worse off Why couldn't someone less fortunate switch lives with me I'm never going to be anything I just waste air and resources on earth I'm wasted youth

Wasted Youth
Scream into my ear every word I wanted to hear From you Your brown eyes make me want to hide Looking into them make me want to cry Why must the odds make it impossible for you to be mine? Every image of us I need to leave behind In my arms is where you belong in the imagined reality in my mind Alone I've always been, loneliness is the only future that can be seen

Arms
Visions of perfection always corrupt my head The dreams I have where hope is fulfilled is dead My wrist are marked with every unanswered prayer I've ever said The luggage I carry are under my eyes A minute I lay awake in bed for every lie I'm too strong to broken I'm too worn down to be repaired Victim I'll never be Those pearly gates aren't meant for me I'd rather walk lifeless for eternity
