I’m tired

Of trying all the time

Even when surrounded by people

I feel so  a l o n e




A body without a soul

Leave it behind to rest

Let the world carry on

Without me




I listen to the same songs

Over and over again

Because nothing else

Is loud enough to drown out the pain




Oh, to be a kid again

With no need to overthink

To see the light again

Without drowning myself in the kitchen sink




I want to leave behind

This heavy heart

And fly away to my neverland

Living my life inside a hopeless daydream




I want to be held in your arms

As you talk with that calming voice

So I drift off

And fall asleep
I think this was a vent, woopsies
Do you remember

Hiding in the closet

Our voices hushed

Just to spend some a few more seconds together




Do you remember

Sitting in the back

Of your dad’s old truck

Laughing away all our fears




Do you remember

Hands linked together

As we walked down the street

Coming home from the movies




Do you remember

When i was screaming into my pillow

Shaking with violent tears

But you don’t remember

Because you weren’t there


But I remember

When you were crying on that bench

Because they said you weren’t good enough

But you were more than I could ask for




Do you remember

When I first kissed you

But you moved away

Before I could say

I loved you
My god im lonely haha
When their eyes meet
And I wish i was you
I'd be holding your hand
Oh what would I do


I can't see the world
When covered in cloud
Will everything change
If you lift up this shroud


You fill my dreams
On the lonely nights
If only you were here
To shine down your lights


I'm hopelessly chasing
A dream I can't pursue
My head is spinning (a)round
Trying to find you


I can't walk straight
When you aren't here
But I've long since accepted
That you'll soon disappear




All I want
Forever no more than a dream
Is to know what it's like
to be loved by you~
A song
For those who didn’t make it

and couldn’t handle

when the cruel world

came crashing down upon them




~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~




When the time came

that your fantasies ended

and reality

showed its ugly face







They hurt you

When all you wished for was peace

And the daylight

seemed so far out of reach




They said to stay strong

And they told you to fight

when you had nothing left

when you couldn’t find

anything

to fight for




Because it’s just a problem

something to fix

just give them some pills

and make them talk




Shallow words

give little comfort

when all they say is

e v e r y t h i n g   w i l l   b e   o k a y




They said to stay strong

And they told you to fight

when you had nothing left

when you couldn’t find

anything

to fight for




Everyone just needs time

they said

but it was too late

to save you
A tribute to those we lost
A child

all alone

in the darkness

a time when

their world of fantasy

no longer there

to support them




As she walks on the unstable ground

all she wants is someone there

to keep her from falling

in this pool of confusion




But she couldn’t speak

The words don’t come out right

So instead she learned

not to talk at all




It worked

for a while

When the bottle broke

She could only blame herself

as she picked back up the pieces

ready to start all over again
The words

on a paper

and letters

on a screen

hidden in the corners

and out of sight

so it was all left unseen




Countless days

and countless nights

heart and soul

it brought them joy

to see their creation

if only

they could show

the world




A spark

of hope

because now

a light shined down

to reveal

their song
A thank you letter after I got the Daily Deviation for Starry Sky (front paged)
Why wish to go back

when you can take a step forward

i reached out my hand

but you denied




I get it’s hard

I get its new

but i’m here for you

for when you are ready

to move on

and travel down

the path

of life




After all

you are just a kid

a kid who doesn’t want to grow up

a kid who wants to stay

in your world of fairytales







But when reality

came crashing down

you were unprepared




we all warned you




for some

it takes longer than others

some don’t take much time at all

to co-exist in this world

where we have no room to dream




But in the end

everyone must find their own way

their own way to keep living on

all I can do is help you along the way




Sometimes it’s hard

Living life this way

I look back at the simple times

but we all have to grow up someday




So i want to lend you a hand

If i can’t stop from moving forward

i want to extend my reach




I feel so far away

It seems we are on the opposite sides

of the universe

But it’s somewhere in between

that’s what kept us together




Don’t be afraid

to try new things

maybe you will find

your solution




I want to show you

this new world

all you need to do

is take

the

first

step
This part was written by me, and there was another part by someone who used to be my friend. I said i'd help but they turned me away after asking for help.
