"And there is no cure for solitude?"
There are worse things than solitude.
"Like what?"
Company, for one.
"The cure?"
No, the affliction.
"Quite sure?"
Quite sure.

breathe
i cant
breathe
i know
breathe
the walls are closing in
breathe
i am trapped
breathe
in a cage i built myself
breathe
air cannot break these chains
breathe
there is not enough oxygen in all the atmosphere to fill my hollow lungs
breathe
i cant, i am screaming far too loud
you are silent*
not if you listen
breathe
i cannot see myself anymore
breathe
thats not such a bad thing afterall

Everyone around,
Smothering eachother,
Always talking,
Never stopping to look around..

They share,
Yet focus on fighting,
Not care.
They're people.

I’m too afraid to turn around
I’m too afraid to see what isn’t there
My footprints, my words, my acts
Washed away by the tides
Of all who were in some way
Better than I

People,
To me.
Are like puppies.
Adorably naive monsters.
That will inevitably
**** on my life at any given moment.
They’re not to be trusted.

It comes from feeling incomplete
Loneliness
It’s a poison
Eventually it gets to be too much
And the cure
It isn’t just someone
It’s the one
The hand in the dark
The one that smiles when you walk into a room
The whisper that asks if you’re ok
Absent these things
The loneliness thrives
Until the soul says enough

Some people are just one word
Others a few more
Even a few that are many
For you
There are no words
Because you’re an experience
Just as one can’t explain
What it’s like to lie in the sun
To someone who’s never seen the sun
I can’t tell the world
Why I love you

Yesterday I cried to the moon
as she wiped my tears away
made my worries disappear
so I could sleep again.



Today I smile at the sun
and it shines back on me,
what a wonderful world
to be alive;
to be me.
