When I was younger, My mother told me I was pretty, But I could have looked better, So I put on make up, And I wore pretty dresses. When I was younger, My family told me I was smart, But I could have been smarter, So I read books. When I was younger, I was told I have potential, But I was never encouraged to do anything, I was told I could never be anything, So I started working, Harder, But I never believed I was doing something. When I was younger, I was told I'm loved, But I used to get hit, called names, And get treated badly, So I developed something in me, That'll always hate me, No matter what.

I hope you understand
You're consuming my life, Causing me to flip, Hating on myself, Calling everything worthless, You go away for a second, And stay for a decade, You're horrible to me, I'm worthless, I demand you to go away, You will not control me, Stop it, Stop it, Stop it, I'm nearing my end, Because of you, Please go away, I beg of you.

Dear Depression
A tiny Cat came to me in my sleep, Told me a Mouse was haunting her, She said the Mouse was made of wolves, His screams were devouring her fear. A little Cat is haunted by a Mouse, He's smaller in size, But bigger in words. She was afraid of a Mouse, Because the Mouse told her she was not a Cat, She is a Mouse, He said, She is a disgrace. The little Cat came to me in my sleep, Told me she met a Big Black Cat, The Big Black Cat told her to run, But she ate the Mouse instead.

Big Black Cat
On the tip of my tongue, The letters to your name, They want me to share, The love I can't bear, Dodging a tear here, And a scream there, Once I'm in the tomb, I will marry your name.

What They Want
Your lips against mine, Is an ocean in disguise, Your eyes on mine, Is a bright skyline, Your smile, So fine, Makes me want to rewind.

Repeat
It's a blue sky, It's a bright night, It's a weak heart, It's a strong flight, It's a broken soul, It's a bird gone.

Circuit
I poured my heart out, I stepped on my pride, I put you on top, You still refuse to believe, You're worth it.

Hopeless
Not one but many, Only few would differ, Right about all, And yet wrong about many, Hopeful to be what you once believed to be ordinary.

NORAH
My actions were ones of fury, Yet they were frank and honest, That time I asked you to leave it alone, You kept pressing on it, Your stubborn head wanted answers, While I waited for my boiling blood to be chilled, I wanted nothing but to be there for you, But you were so against the idea of it, As if I were to turn left, You would've snapped my neck, I don't want to be an enemy but you've made me leap into the breach, Now I stand, With a pile of paper and pens, Wondering if what I did was an act of fury or integrity, I don't feel remorse, But I do feel sorrow, To what I have yet to know, And I wish for you the best, But then again I wonder if I do, You'll twist my words, To ones of falsification, And I find myself wonder if I even bother, To give you a fraction of time, After all, You threw me out the window, As if I was a piece of paper that's redundant, And I'm left with a song of words unspoken.

Unspoken
I'm always a substandard girl to you, I'm not always going to be what you want me to be, I'm average, You want perfect, I **** up, I **** up so bad that the gods would cry, And you won't accept that, It simply isn't acceptable to you, But when I **** up, When I do all these mistakes I learn, Better than your words can ever teach me, And I try, I really do, To be less substandard than you think of me, But I don't think it'll ever be good enough, To you I'm inadequate, And for that I shall forever be miserable.
