I warned that you that my head was too dark of a space to enter
I told you I'm a **** up - right down to my centre
I warned you that I am broken
Emotionally and mentally, I'm a burden
I guess that's why everything is all about me
I have these impulsive tendencies
If I feel fear or doubt
I lash out
I won't hang about
I'll speak in the moment
These impulses make me this poet
I find it hard to say what I feel
So I write it down before the ****
I warned you that I am a **** up
In my mind there is no letup
I told you I see things differently
Tis why I am eternally lonely

I smoke **** just like you.
Money gives me greed just like you.
******* makes me wonder just like you.
My parents kicked me out when i was 17 just like you.
I died inside when i turned 13 just like you.
I saw life for what it was a 7 just like you.
I want to die everyday just like you.
I think about killing myself just ljke you.
I don't like money just like you.
I love the moon just like you.
I love the idea of love just like you.
Most important im not alone, just like you.

What if life was played in fast forward?
Would you look more, out the window?
See the buildings, the missing trees?
The colors changed, painted in steel?
Focus on folds, beneath your cheeks?
Spend time with the once, called lonely?

What if life was played in reverse?
Would you redo things, differently?
Experience reality?
Change your lack of identity?
Free your mind of not feeling free?
Rethink responsibilities?

What if life was paused?
Would you be doing, what you are doing right now?
What is the first thing that comes to mind?
What about the colors on your brush?
Do you think that they are enough?
Are you still on the right track?

What if life had to be lonely?
Would you use your voice to speak?
Is there a reason to listen?
What rules would you want to create?
Would you understand heartbreak?
Would you bother to hit replay?

Either way we all reach the end.
But we write separate screenplays.
Decide our fate and how we blend.
And how we fast forward our days.

Hopefully we are not the same.
Get to use our voice and listen.
To lose ourselves would be a shame.
Or to move forward, not driven.

Remember, your life is in play.
And should not be thrown away.

I've made a few enemies.
the decisions that I've made.
You say you see a friend in me.
that's about to change.
I am not worthy of your kindness.
Im not worthy of your trust.
When people get close to me.
Things tend to blow up.

Why can't you see, we are nothing but enemies.
Haven't you heard, Im nothing but a bird.
You said you'd take a chance.
Don't waste it on me.
You said you'd take a chance.
But im begging you please...

Why can't you just leave me alone.
Don't nobody have to know.
You found a friend in me.
Why can't you please just go.
Don't nobody have to know
I tried to be more than enemies
Im just an enemy

People say what they want when they want, but yet somehow you know the truth.
The madness that surrounds me, yet somehow you always break through.
But this ain't right, yet somehow it feels so right.
Look what you've done.
You have managed to somehow get through.

Why can't you see, we are nothing but enemies.
Haven't you heard, Im nothing but a bird.
You said you'd take a chance.
Don't waste it on me.
You said you'd take a chance.
But im begging you please...baby

Why can't you just leave me alone.
Don't nobody have to know.
You found a friend in me.
Why can't you please just go.
Don't nobody have to know
I tried to be more than enemies
Im just an enemy

I don't care how you are in my life
I just need you here
I miss you more than any poem can say
I ache to talk to you
This pain won't go away
I say things in a moment so fierce
But I'm only human my dear
The feelings I feel are real and true
All I ever need
Is you

So much passion in your fight
Your words are cruel but it brings me much delight
Your power fuels me
I soak you up every time you abuse me
Your words don't bring me down
They won't change who I am
For it's the passion you give that gives me light in knowing this
You love me.
You can't live without me
Just the thought of me sends you crazy
So now I rise
This can't come to you as a surprise
It's time for me to go
Time for you to spend some time alone
With each step I take
The chains you have on me break
