Gone Empty Alone Worthless Pushed to the limit, But holding out for a savior. About to fall, But holding onto the hand of a stranger. Trust invested in you. With the hope you see those promises through. I've been a shattered shell for too long. Trusting my judgment, then being proved wrong. Never knowing when the time is right, To stop crying myself to sleep at night I feel nothing No words No life Just an empty shell. I'm stuck under a spell. Drifting further into a black hole. Shattered and lifeless, my life takes a toll. My body is being taken over, yet I still feel nothing. Nothing at all. My heart being treated like a kickball. Thrown around, beaten, forgotten about. Those dangerous thoughts that follow the doubt. I just want it all to end. I don't want to feel the pain anymore. There's nothing left to fight for Before I know it I'll be chasing the sun. I'm done. With Everything. I'm done. I feel nothing. Absolutely nothing. Worthless Alone Empty Gone

Nothing
I let you in, You pushed me out. I built you up, You filled me with doubt. I gave you reasons to smile, You tore me down. I gave you words of encouragement, You were the reason behind my frown. I have kept every secret you told me, You betray me. I prevented you from feeling trapped, You prevented me from being free. You don't care, You continue to hurt me, You were never there. You pushed me away, Slowly at first, then all at once, More and more each day. Guilting me into staying by your side, Controlling me like a puppet, Making my emotions your free roller-coaster ride. What kind of sick friendship is this? Am I someone you really trust? Or is this a friendship that won't be missed?

Forget You Too
I hear them. Loud and clear Calling my name From deep within the bitter darkness The place I used to call home Is suddenly being held hostage Trapped and alone I release a sound Foreign to my tongue for It hasn't been spoken In months Too painful to say Too painful to hear My heart can't bare Anymore pain For it might break In a million more pieces The heart can only take so much As I begin to shake The words I've been trying To say to you Escape from my mouth Faster than the speed of light Foreign to my tongue Unable to be contained For they have been For way too long I love you. I miss you. I hate you. I can't stand you. I want you. I need you. Get away from me. Go somewhere else. Don't leave me again. Stay with me. You saved me. But you broke me. Into more than a million pieces Crushed me Left me broken Stepped on my heart You broke me But I love you I really love you All I see is the dark I am surrounded by dark Not a single shred Of light escaping My body I guess I have you To blame for turning My soul Darker than night.

Dark
I've never been in love but I imagine it's kind of like skiing on a glassy lake in the fresh July sunlight. Or the bellyache you get from laughing for hours uninhibited head thrown back, eyes watering. Or the thud of the ball on the worn hardwood floor, the soft swish of the net when a shot meets its target. Love is like a lot of things, and darling, you're a symphony of sounds and smells and tastes and feelings I could never tire of. So maybe I'm wrong. Maybe I have been in love with you, and this world, and everything in it Because love is like everything and nothing at once. It's defined by its undefinability. c.l.c

symphonic love
"Where I Belong" Sometimes you lead me in green meadows and quiet gentle streams Sometimes you take me into the desert for a while I will go where you walk before me, where you lead I will follow. Some days I feel at peace with my life Other days I feel lost and all alone And I'm reminded that this is not my home. I know one day I'll find a place where I belong I'll be home at long last, I'll be happy and free All the people living in perfect harmony. While I'm here Lord living for the moment Guide me use me show me where I belong Doing my best to serve you by serving my neighbor. Help me with the faith to trust in your perfect plan To believe that all is well when I just don't understand. When I am lost and wandering you bring me back home When I crawl back to you humble and broken You run out to me and hug me and kiss me And you take me back: Back where I belong My soul is restless until it rests in you And that's where I belong And one day I'll leave this space to be called home Back to the place where I belong

Where I Belong
In the darkest hour, In the brightest day, Every step I take, I miss you in every single way. The way your green eyes shined so bright, The way you always held me tight. You made me feel safe and sound, I miss the way we joked around. I miss the way you used to sing, I miss hearing your voice when the phone would ring. I will forever be your pussycat, I will forever miss hearing you say my brown eyes reminded you of the color of "MUUUD". I will forever be Grandma's little girl. I will work hard to make you proud, When I need you I will call out loud. I know you're always watching over me, My guardian angel you will ALWAYS be.

My Guardian Angel
Life is just a fantasy In the light of day But in the dark of night That's when my demons come out to play They whisper and fester Beneath my skin They tell me I'm worthless That I'll never win They fight all the light And drag out the darkness All my pain is renewed My sorrow and my sickness They hide behind my eyes While my life passes me by But when I'm quiet at night They're always nearby To tell me I'm nothing And to keep me contained To shake me and break me While I'm still chained By my past insecurities And deepest fears My demons are my life at night And have destroyed all I hold dear.

My Demons
You've gone away now, and I’m left here alone. I’m screaming, but nothing is coming out. I’m so lost— I’m so broken. I don’t know where you are, and I am so torn up. Please be safe. I’ll miss you. (I love you)

Goodbye
your sadness is showing, put it away. no one wants to see your depression today. it's not time for that, some might say, its so unbecoming to act that way. your anxiety is showing, tuck it in. the world shows no interest in what's under your skin. take a deep breath, that's where you begin, or, that's what they say with a pat and a grin. your illness is showing, keep it away. no one is interested in that anyway. but by letting it fester, and by letting it stay, it might make me disappear some day.

unbecoming
There is no such thing as perfect. No perfect person, No perfect life. Nothing in this world is perfect. However, If the world was perfect There would be peace; There would be less chaos. Everyone would be the same. In a perfect world, There's no room for change. The world is far too messed up For there to be any chance of it being perfect. We are too focused on the other countries' problems. To worry about our own **** problems. The world is no where near perfect. Yes we have equality, Yes we have more freedoms than other countries do, But as a society, we don't even have perfect. We believe it exists, but there is No true evidence. So you see, nothing in this World is perfect, however, The idea itself exists.
