American I'm lost and hoping writing helps sort out a few things for me in this life.
Let's fly away from here An adventure we can share Let's fly to Ireland, Rome, or France Where under the stars alone we can dance Let's fly away to a place that's always warm So we'll never need to hide from another storm Let's fly into the deep blue sky Live our lives before we say goodbye Let's fly away you and me Free as birds we can be Let's fly away today Before someone makes us stay

Fly Away
My arms are red My mood is blue Why the hell Do I still love you?

Tell Me Why
Who am I going to be You tell me the best Like Newton or Ghandi That's a lot of stress Don't put all that on me

You little **** Who gave you the right to decide that for me? I am my own person, if you don't like my choices then leave. Talk to me and we'll figure something out, that's how easy it'd be. If you would help me out, rather than call me out, sobriety would be an easier goal to achieve. But no, you shout and you shout, telling me I've done wrong. Commanding me to change rather than asking how to help me stop... You don't know half of the things I've seen and I've done. What happened to me to make me want to replace the missing pieces. The dark parts of my childhood, how I became a woman at the age of eight. How my step father touched me in that place. That place no little girl should have touched at that age. How dealing with high expectations that I know I cannot meet, not because I don't want to, but because my disability ties down my hands and feet. Feeling trapped by what happened to me. Living with that monster, pretending it's all okay. Controlling all my flashbacks and panic attacks. Pretending to be strong for five younger siblings who look up to me. Setting a perfect example, wearing myself down, ripping myself apart to satisfy everyone's needs. Trying my hardest to keep everyone around me happy because I know what it's like to hate yourself so much your pores ooze self doubt and insecurities. So sorry I drink and smoke **** and I don't meet your religious needs. Just let me finish this last cigarette please.

Broken Cigarettes
Kiss me like my lips are air and you're drowning. Wrap your arms around me like I'm the anchor keeping you from floating adrift. Get lost in my eyes that always look for you in a crowded room. Grab my waist and dance with me as if no one was looking. Cherish me like God's greatest gift. Tell me I'm as bright as the sun, prettier than the stars, and as pure as the full moon.

Darling Please
*I might be over you, but I can’t forget you Tolerating the pain you left in my heart Only took months of bottles and packs I remember the day I said we were through Saying you will regret us tore me apart Why would you say that to my face? That made my whole world collapse I would much rather be the one you lost Or a fuzzy memory Than a regret you wasted so much time on You’re the reason my cold heart thawed You helped me up when I was unsteady Believe me, I fell in love that day Never knew someone would care so much I’ll admit I still drunkenly listen to “our song” He’s right everything seems to mean nothing I want to hear you sing to me in spanish And dance with me dreamily Your arms were home; warm and loving Well I’m over it, now it’s time for drinks*

Hasem, Mi Amor
**** you **** you **** you **** you and your pretty eyes that put the stars to shame **** you and your smile that made my tummy flutter for days **** you and the way your smell intoxicated me **** you and the way your arms kept me from falling apart **** you and how you made me feel so safe **** you and how you broke my heart **** you **** you **** you

**** You
*Please don't leave me alone with these thoughts in my head The monsters are coming and they're telling me I should be dead They force down the blade, they slice up my skin They tell me I belong in hell, and I should pay for my sins Humming sweet tunes of death, I can always hear them No matter how hard I try to ignore their sounds of torment These monsters in my head they're tearing me to shreds I want them to stop, with every drop of red, the voices become softer I can barely hear them now, but they'll be back full volume all too soon As long as they're still here, my mind will only get darker I just want the voices to stop, I don't want to hear what they have to say I want to tear out my heart and cut off my ears, I want the pain to end These voices in my head make me ashamed of who I am everyday I'm thinking of ways I could silence them, maybe I'm better off dead My soul and body are becoming vacant and empty The only thing still inhabiting me are those voices in my mind The quick stinging pain of a cut is dulling the screams, but just barely I'm already empty inside so all that's left is finding a way to die I bought a new razor, I have my pills and a tub of hot water When suddenly I'm hit with a memory, a memory of you That single thought saved me from the slaughter You called me perfect, you made me feel beautiful I remembered your smile, your eyes, how you looked at me I know you're hurting too, I'm sorry, just know you're irreplaceable I'm fighting my demons, I'm locking them up and you are the key*

Two years ago I wouldn't have seen this coming Drinking until I stumble and fall to the ground Pools of scarlet grow with my arms slowly dripping Believe me, I've been trying to turn it around
