American With tears in my eyes, I begged you to stay / You said, “Hey man, I love you, but no fucking way”
The biggest mistake Was living a life to prove Happiness for someone else How I wish I could turn back The time

Have you ever felt So afraid to leave home Not because of the temporary comfort But the pain of knowing He could end his life at the Drop of a Pin Being an adult is terrifying Someone please let me out

How do you forgive someone For taking three years of Trust, and Throwing it back in your Face Regret How can you stay mad At someone who once was your Whole world, it was just one Mistake Right?

I Miss You
My mother tells me I have no Compassion because of all the Nice Boys I have broken, the ones who really cared My father asks if I will ever find a Man, one good enough to Keep around, as if it is my Standards that are impossible But there are so many memories I'm afraid to tell And so much weighing on the truth I've been hiding Last summer I felt real pain in my heart For the first time in my short life Because she made me feel Normal, And then she left I've spent a long time hiding in shame, but Something has got to Give because It is only a matter of time until I finally break

Something Has Got To Give
I wonder Where my life would be If you never touched my Neck, or If I never had to Hear the creak Of your apartment Door as I watched you close it Gently, just quiet Enough to leave me Silent Six years later I wonder Where my life would be

Little girl so loved by her number one fan A proud father, he does what he can A women who has a world of support Her dad to talk to, a man in her court Too many drinks deep, he should have learned His wrath untamed, her world has turned Hurtful words are just a game But coming from him, her body shakes Slurred speech, bloodshot eyes Dissapointed girl, a man of lies Once so wise and once so kind Has nothing left to hide behind She knows he's wrong, shouldn't drink 'till sleep But this is her secret, an embarrassment she'll keep A role model ruined by self destructive paths A girl too scared to take off his mask So she lives to believe he is the one To look up to so blindly, staring straight into the sun She convinces herself its okay Until the point he drives his little girl away

A Letter to My Father
Scraped knees and burnt lungs Hair pulling and touching tongues Study hard, fail a class Makeup on, the perfect mask Scales and *** you have no power One night stand, take a shower Class at eight, get up at nine Lie to your parents, "I'm doing fine" Black lace bra, **** dress Frat house party, look your best Pills and smokes, just one more Boy comes over, shut the door Greedy hands and spoken words Words he says he never heard Sink running, your eyes are too Look in the mirror, someone new Black circles, white washed skin "How the hell did I get so thin" Another pill, another chapter The college life everyone's after

College
We talk as if Your hands have more wrinkles And your eyes have seen The world As if I don't deserve your Time or effort because You don't want to be seen with An embarrassment like me, because I haven't "lived" But please don't forget You once looked at me with Eyes that didn't need To see the world, And once, your inexperienced Hands were used for learning the curves Of my body rather than illustrating The journeys that have made you so Cultured and wise Darling, I'm so sorry, but You've got it all wrong As if you know what It really means to Live
