why do you wonder what i'm doing at night why do you wonder if i'm acting right why do you care... if I am here or there why do you wonder why do you wonder If you must know i'm asleep in the light if you must know I am fighting for my life my prayer feels distant but I know it strikes my lords dear ears I hear him cry my daughter dear i've opened your eyes you shed a tear but don't give up the fight i'm still here my perspective's not blind and all I hear disturbs my mind I am not the the deception I am not the exception I will not give you directions I am only your perception

so this is it a waste of my time. Time better spent waiting for your goodbye. But you walk right back in like its your ******* life, take all you can get at least until the next time. I wallow in this pain left behind making me sick the taste of your lies.

Closed my eyes While the feeling building up inside of me   Stands on my chest, that caves      Makes it hard to breathe. Let's do this again And again. Like my mind can't forget Every single word they say, speaking to my anxiety. And so it begins Like it ends Then I'm left to pretend It comes easy as friends that I have made, But not today I'd rather isolate. My intentions stood On everything good. Tried to fix it But can't skip the inevitable Merciful his grace Discovering my faith Can you fix it Can you  make my mind quit Confusing thoughts with words, why can't I make it work. Dyslexic It's a mind game And I dont want to play.

My place in the dark Having no way to stop Myself from getting lost. Heavy weighs the solitude Sicking the attitude. Mind rotting the thoughts On replay Muttered words I must say That I wish I could explain this type of way.. That I choose To live like I do. My face to the ground As I pray ****** cries in his name. Terrified my heart aches Knowing why I'm betrayed By the world I thought I knew.

My place in the dark
The symptoms worsen As I brace myself for words, not ready. Even though I know the truth behind my eyes is surfacing. Foolish I've become, to all outside myself. I'm numb I tolerate the pain. I focus on the gain, such selfish ties Hold me restrained Back from my life that I once was living.

The truth is such painful step To take when I don't want to yet But each day I see what I get. Makes me wonder.. is it worth it? Now it might seem So close to perfect.. Perfectly fine like I say I've always been.    Though you know I've never been.

Rest assured of your demeanor a presence that once seemed so kind As I look deeper and deeper I still cannot find your reasoning to lie Silence sheilds and hides you away from me Another day beside you    Another day lost to night Is there any way I could break through? I can't escape your frame of mind All I know All that I shown To you ..exposed Still feel Unknown.

So opposite Till we meet ourselves. Then forget the pain We felt in loneliness.. Still making scars. The pain exists.. And made these scars. The pain exists... Inside both of us who still Say "it doesn't hurt!" STRUCK, you can taste the blood Still it doesn't change the me in you.. You hate the me in you! I hate the you in me! But we can't deny This hurt. We're in a world of such hurt. Stealing the meaning Of the life you had. And killing the dreams.. Once inside your head. Leaving scars.. The pain in depth So deep it scars. The pain exists.. Inside both of us who Can't stop when they taste the blood Polar opposites Besides the fact I'm facing you in me I hate the you in me You the hate the me you And we can't deny This world I have to be in with you Hurts.

Pain exists
Unfolding and revealing Each costly word still staining Apposed to sweet sustaining It feels me as it sinks in The deeper grows this feeling What do I bleed Will I live In this pain I know I needed

Submerged
Each day must forgive me for what I do and what I've done. My minds full of empty and at times will come undone. But the nights soothe and save me from myself. Mistaking me for someone else. Someone who once was but is now gone, leaving me bits to hang on to and no I won't let go. Though im losing grip of them slow. See it's all a shame- Less life I maintain. Nothing ever stays quite the same. Gone through the motions with emotion. Taking more than time to spend. So alive then yet again.. Never mind me I'm still livin.
