My name is Lajah and I am constantly hiding behind metaphors.
I will wait and ache the pain of leftover words and unstable remains And I heard feet tapping. to the beat humming this song played on repeat. I will hold grip to what you said when your mind was hazy waiting for bed. And I heard feet tapping to this lingering song. It is getting much louder and I seem less strong. I don’t think Ill fall in love again but I will forgive you. Forget what I said They skipped a beat and the song kept going they lost the tempo but the world kept spinning. I know you believe I am to blame but i am tired of giving all to my name. does this song move too fast or I go too slow The beat is everywhere my head will soon blow. So I guess they're right; it is my mind that you reign. Time for I to walk before I go insane. … insane. …. This song … oh this song … stop the music … it hurts to hear … the truth.

Tap
And the bird, he sang to a rotting beat behind missiles and prickles and bombs thrown in the wind. But the bird, he sang to a lost melody of the lack of humanity who foreshadowed tragedy. He whistled all he could but the gun beat seemed to rule and he sang to ignore, to deny transition. And the bird, he silenced. The last bird flew away up to the stars where all the civilised remain.

Warrior's song
1. There will be a day when you will stay in your room for the entire night and feel your heart throb from whatever problems you have been phased with. I want you to feel the pain and agony of being broken. I want you to look up begging for help but nobody being there for you. I want you to sob your eyes until they are all dried out. This may sound harsh but this is feelings that are better off healing themselves instead of becoming dependent on someone else's happiness. Maybe after you do this you will have an epiphany. You will look down at your wavy brown hair and think about how small your problem truly is. Then you will learn how to mend your broken soul. Once you do so, I allow you to come out of your cocoon of misery and learn how to fly.

Mirror mirror on the wall, Who is the fairest of them all? If I change my physical image, How far can I go without causing too much damage? Mirror mirror if I shrink, Will they stop and make them think? Mirror mirror what if I hide the real me that I keep inside? Mirror mirror is it worth these tears To hide away in constant fear? Mirror mirror on the wall, When will society stop this brawl? I killed someone dont you see, That little girl I once called me. For I am young and I am me, I am the one who is best to be.

Mirror, mirror
I am falling in a pond of my own insecurities, sinking below the deepest end into a level of non-existence. Help me, I can't swim! But there is not a soul that can hear my presence. So I sink. I keep going further down as I watch the people around me and I pretend to float. I say that I am okay, but I am not. The water is flowing through my nose and through  my body as I  submerge. And then, I am at ease. I see rays of the sun shinning down on my soulless corps, remembering the flashes of beautiful memories in attempt to forget the ones that brought me to this pool of sorrow. I fell into my pond of insecurities, why was I the one who volunteered?

A pond of thoughts
I have this friend who lives in between my lungs and decides to whom and how I show expression. As my breaths grew larger, the space for her shrunk, so she moved away. She waits upon my sleeves preparing itself to pounce unto the sleeves of another. She attempts to jump but those people who have the nicest and thickest sleeves always walk away watching as she falls to the ground and shatters. She is too dependent. I must teach her to love herself; she does not see the beautiful things she already has. Those people with other long sleeves have their own problems, they can’t handle her's. She is too gullible. I feel pity for her, for she will never be loved.

Calling all day dreamers, Keep your eyes shut Don’t ever open them to this brainwashed society Grip onto your soul before they come to take it away Hide all your thoughts for they are quite possessive Remind yourself that to be different in a world full of copies Is to be a diamond in a pond full of rocks Hold onto your heart as they come around with a hammer Picture a daisy instead of the trash they all left behind Imagine it is all just a fiction to numb the pain Pretend the hurt in the world can all be cured with a band aid Attempt to smile even when there is nothing worth smiling Stay dreaming in this beautiful nightmare Find the good hidden beneath these restless souls Wear your crown of flowers although you are nothing but a peasant Dance until the judgement is felt around the room Calling all day dreamers, Don’t ever wake up.
