20 Im trying lol
When I forgot how to cry, I would sing myself lullabies They went like sweet little cries Yet everytime I closed my eyes I still could not cry Although I had been the one to cry I am all of a sudden the one to lie Each lie comes with one of my soft lullabies A sweet ring a solemn tune and a sacred lie I wish I could cry Yet I can only try And wish that one of my lullabies would speak through my lies For if I cannot cry I must lie and say that I’m fine

Lullabies
I lived in the body of an abused dog in the corner of the house. Never touched Never allowing yet always barking. I once tried to runaway at 8 in the morning, returning home within the hour after I scowered. I seen faces in the trees while the breeze sung a soft lullaby as if I were going to freeze. Between then and now I realized we cannot grow wings. Joining gods choir is a distant dream and I cannot sleep. Reverting back to the ways where we cannot seep into the trees where the lullabies can sing as free and I still cannot dream. -I return to the corner. The beast sleeps as I weep and as I cry myself into a deep sleep I cannot help but feel confined within your reach.

Flight risk
my crooked smile your soft gaze another life gone in haze i'll slumber in your sheets as i worship at your feet i'll conquer the sun to have your speech my desperation my despair my disdain my disgust for those who know i will forever distrust I'll conquer the sun to have your speech for my voice has been long gone I cannot speak I'll hang from that tree in the middle of the street in hopes to one day never fret defeat for if I cannot speak I must repeat what I cannot help but seek when I faintly wake at 4am I see your silhouette hidden behind my lace curtains and plants I open my mouth as to speak yet my voice is much too meek I seep as I weep into the sheets another life gone in haze another life gone in a haste I cannot speak for I cannot reap what your mind seeks and as I cry myself into another deep sleep I cannot help but feel claustrophobic within your reach my ***** desire to be what you cannot reach yet I slumber still in your sheets and, I am defeated

dont forget me
I sit at the table across from you I pick up the knife You pick up two It's a battle, it's a fight Only between us two You stick one in my side Don't forget the other My knife drops Don't forget to tether

Knife play
And if I sink before I fall make sure to tell nobody I cared for them at all for if I did I could not look them in the face for when I get out of this rut I'm not sure if I can make a swift escape I don't know how to make a way without my hand and shovel getting in the way My hand, my shovel, my right, my left If I could stand I would have left But I can't so l stay and pray for a life where I do not live in disarray For your soft gaze is no longer soft whilst my crooked smile stays the same I cannot help but have disdain for the man who thinks he is a Great Dane
