There's not much to see.
In the window of my dreams.
Living space is bare.

i make it hard to love me.
i pull away when i need someone most.
i act like i’m fine
so no one will see how badly i’m not.
i say sorry
for things that aren’t wrong,
just so no one leaves.

i want love
but i don’t know how to hold it.
i’m scared of being too much
and not enough
at the same time.

i wish hard things didn’t scare me.
i wish i could try
without unraveling.
i wish effort didn’t feel like failure,
and failure didn’t feel like the end of me.

i want to do hard things
and still like who i am.
i want to struggle
without falling apart.

some days, i just want to stop being sad.
not forever, just long enough to breathe
without bracing for the ache.

i don’t even know who i am
when i’m not hurting.
i miss her,
whoever she was.
im so ******* sad

i can’t stop crying and i wish i would because someone is going to notice
Saying you're sorry,
would light up a part of me.
My arms wide open.
Why do we have to always compete?

Why should we always have to prove
that we are better than somebody?

Why is just being good not enough?
The distance between us is sending grief my way
Yet it wont last for as long as they say
We'll both grow up and we'll figure this out
Neither of us will hold on to doubt
We'll sing songs
And we'll dance
It wont be long
Until we are holding hands
And the melodies of our love song
Will fill all the lands
Together we'll say
Welcome to this glorious day
In which I'll see your beautiful face
I often feel empty inside
And It feels like nothing has the ability to fill me
Almost like the sea without water
or the sky without clouds
I wait and I wait
for something that can help
But I still feel unimportant
