a lady trapped in fog of her own thoughts
I can't decide which is worse Nightmares Where they're so real And terrible That you wake up sobbing In the middle of the night Or Dreams Where they're so real And wonderful That when you wake up And realize none of it was real You feel the temporary joy Drain out of you And cry hopeless tears

Better of Two Evils...
The harder I'm laughing The more I want to cry The brighter my smile is The dimmer my soul is getting The lighter my humor is The heavier my heart is becoming Don't let appearances deceive you

Do Not Be Deceived
If I get angry It's probably because I said I'm fine And I really hate lies

Lies
there are too many people writing about the moon tonight, too many hearts lonely from the thought of her greatness, wondering how it is possible to love something that makes you feel so small, that in comparison, renders you insignificant. this is how it was to love you. this is how it is to still do. to look up at a sky that is too big to notice you to imagine a selfish lover as the vastness in which too much attention is granted this is how it was, this is how it has always been, this is how it is, loving you. there are too many people staying up late tonight to watch the atmosphere unfold its secrets open-eyed anticipating some kind of beauty unfrequented, I will not be one of them. waiting is a chore I no longer perform willingly the only galaxies I admire are those I create. there are too many people writing about the moon tonight, and I have become one of them.

Blood Moon
Every time I look inside myself I want to cry Who is this girl? She is disgusting And ugly And dumb No one likes this girl Every time I look in the mirror I want give up Who is this girl? She is fat And stupid And flawed No one wants this girl Every time I think of my past My soul starts aching Who was that girl? She was sweet And kind And lovely What happened to that girl? Every time Every single time It hurts

Every Time
Somedays Im not strong enough To carry on Somedays Im not brave enough To ask for your help Somedays Im not open enough To show how I really feel Somedays I dont care enough For how I am Somedays I dont eat enough Choosing starvation Somedays I dont want life enough To wanna continue Somedays I just feel empty inside Screaming silently

Somedays
**If I had to guess on what I've seen I'm not too sure that she likes me I've played the game, I know it well But with this girl it's hard to tell** *If I could talk to just anyone Then talking to him would be fun He seems funny, he seems so nice I only need to break the ice* **I'm afraid of what she might say If I give too much of myself away If she thinks me another man Will she like me for who I am** *When conversing, he seems so closed Almost as if he is trying to pose Wondering what he is hiding I conclude that it's dividing* **With her style and class she is far above me Afraid to ask if she could ever love me A girl like her, a boy like me I have my wants, she is my need** *With his depth and thought he's far away from me Afraid to wonder if he could know me A mind like his, a fool like me My longing for him is decreed*

you are too familiar with yourself with your face your body your beauty your reflection is an image skewed from being seen by your same eyes too often your confidence is a locked box you keep in the back of your closet your smile is more uncomfortable than it is curling and you've grown to hate the large of your laugh you are blind to almost all that you are but just imagine, for a second what you look like to someone who is a stranger you could be their textbook definition of ideal their exact description of beautiful and you wouldn't even know it imagine for a moment how your greatness might resonate with someone who has never been close to that much at once there have been people in your life who have attempted to break you into smaller pieces crush you from whole so you would be easier to swallow there will always be some who will be unable to see your worth others who wont be able to handle you maybe they'll see too much and try to shrink you into less with the hopes of becoming more themselves you build yourself quieter each time that you do you know how to shy away from the prescence of light and you've settled comfortably in the shadow of day but there is someone out there waiting to hear your loud a blank canvas ready to be filled with all of your paint you will be the exact shade they have spent their entire life trying to find and when they do you'll remember that there was a time before you were taught to see dark when you could see all of your colors clear without trying

Love compromises all the feeling the world has to offer but there is one to focus about; If love is a name, pain must be its last If love is a game, pain must be the rule If love is a word, pain must be the synonym And I hate it Does it have to be like that? In order to love you must feel the pain, somehow. No logic, what's the rationale?
