' The marks humans leave are too often scars. ' John Green. <3
I could see it in his eyes His golden heart was in disguise He was different from the rest Lonesome and depressed But I could make him smile! And suddenly my heart was in denail We fell in love, and we fell out of love But oh boy, we fell They say the first love is the sweetest But Baby, the first cut is the deepest His voice was broken And his wounds were open I had to say goodbye For this, didn't just make me cry He gave me a new perspective Even though he was deceptive This baggage wasn't his For this boy, had so much more to give The silence was deafening Unbearable I will help him carry his baggage As he had carried mine I'm not leaving this innocent boy Not this time.

Him
It's not the shouting that causes the pain It's not the lies that causes the shame It's not the anger that's to blame It's not the drought after the rain It's not that easy to get out It's our hearts filled with doubt The walls still come crashing in We still don't know where to begin Maybe if we pray a little longer Maybe if we scream a bit louder Maybe if we stay a little stronger Maybe make them prouder Maybe if we give more than we take Maybe if we don't stop and stare Maybe if we stop pretending and don't fake But we all know life isn't fair You see it's the silence that causes the pain And the truth that causes the shame It's the humbleness to blame And the fading rainbow after the rain.

Where to begin...
Darkness is upon us The light is fading Hearts are broken Forever, we are waiting But forever is gone The knot is tied We've got no power, left to fight And nowhere to hide But the truth stays hidden No love is given The things we believe in Yes they are deceiving! But they can't hold us back No more grey areas Just white and black You can't change the fact I'm alone in my pack! Shouting, screaming But no one is hearing Drowning, bleeding No time left for healing Yeah, the truth stays hidden No love is given The things we believe in Yes they are deceiving.

Save me?
Are we human? Are we monsters? Are we living in reality? This darlings, is called insanity Society judges us Label after label Its the only thing they do Trust me, they’ve already got a barcode on you Avoiding my own kind Nowhere to go, nowhere to hide Our time is running out ‘cause it’s them drowning us in doubt But our masks don’t display All the hurt inside Yes, we are afraid What do we leave behind? Yes, we are human And we are monsters This is reality And there’s no such thing as sanity
