Gossip Girl
Jodie Price Jan 2017
You can make your jokes and remarks,
And I'll just take it in my stride,
But don't ever think the things you say,
Will make me run and hide.
I may not care about your opinion,
But I will not tolerate your lies,
I won't listen to your gossip,
But I do have my pride.
So next time you feel the need,
To draw attention to yourself,
Leave me out of you critiques,
You have your own stories to tell.
If you think you're above us all,
I'll bring you back down to earth,
Because believe me darling,
Your darkest secrets can be unearthed.
I know things about you,
You don't want spread about,
But keep on spreading rumours,
And I'll start to shout them out.
Don't mess with me honey,
I may look calm and sweet,
But there is a side of me,
You really don't want to meet,
You really don't want to take me on,
Because I have nothing to loose,
And willing to take a bet,
That what I have heard is true,
Continue to try and break me,
And I will ruin you.

Just Have A Little Patience
Jodie Price Jan 2017
I'm a little broken,
But don't give up on me,
Trust that I'll get better,
Just wait and you will see,
Just give me a little time,
Some patience and apathy,
Promise you won't leave,
I'm trying hard to be free,
Free from my fears,
From memories of my past,
From feeling undeserving
And like happiness can't last,
Please don't leave me now,
I'm slowly giving in,
If you fight for me,
I'll try and let you in,
Right now I know I seem,
Like a flirtatious drunken fool,
But get to know me better,
And I will surprise you,
There's more to me than that,
I have hidden depths,
You just have to persevere,
Don't write me off just yet.
I find it hard to trust,
Because I've been hurt so many times before,
And even when I think I know,
I'm never really sure,
I may come across as confident,
But i'm really insecure,
And this may never change,
It's something you and I will have to endure,
But don't mess me around,
Don't prove that I was right,
Not to let down my guard,
And give in to the fight,
I'm trusting in you,
Against what I feel,
BecauseIi know the insecurities,
Aren't really real,
Bearing my heart,
Bearing my soul,
Giving into hope,
Letting doubt go,
Again I'm asking for patience ,
For you to trust in my heart,
I'm moving on from self confinement,
And letting my new life start.
Jodie Price Jan 2017
I spent so long ignoring,
What you did to me that day,
Pretending it hadn't happened,
Praying the memories would fade,
I kept it secret,
From everyone,
Holding it in,
Trying to move on.
You broke my trust,
In the worst possible way,
Then just acted,
Like everything was okay,
I was weak then,
But I'm not now,
I stand tall,
And I stand proud,
I've moved on,
I bet you have to,
I bet you've forgotten,
What you put me through,
Locked it away,
In the back of your mind,
Pretending you're descent,
Honest and kind,
Well karma's a *****,
And I hope it catches you up fast,
And that you'll pay for the things,
You've done in the past,
And if I happen to meet you,,
Somewhere, Someday,
I promise you this,
You won't walk away.
Jodie Price Jan 2017
I can walk into the bar,
And feel my insecurities wash away,
No matter if this place is no good for me,
I know I'll want to stay,
I have so many thoughts,
Always running through my mind,
But when I walk through those doors,
I leave them all behind.
I hear the music pumping.
People enjoying their night,
And suddenly all my woes are going,
And I'm feeling alright.
I wave to people that I know,
A hug or two along the way,
Give me time to settle in,
Then I'll want to play.
Dancing to the music,
Getting people on their feet,
Enjoying each others company,
Moving to the beat,
It's like having a party,
With all your closest friends,
Enjoying every moment,
Not wanting the night to end.
This is a place of comfort,
It's where I feel my best,
Expressing one part of me,
And ignoring all the rest.
I may regret certain things,
I do when I'm too ******,
But more often or not,
I regret the nights I miss,
I haven't yet got bored,
And I'm not sure I ever will,
I know there is more to life,
But I'll be here until,
Either I get forced to leave,
Or I've had my fill,
You may think I'm crazy,
Pathetic or wasting my life away,
But like I said I'm happy,
And therefore I am okay.
;)

Cry For Attention
Jodie Price Jan 2017
It's not fun to play games,
To mess around with the knife,
I know what it's like,
To want to end your life.

To add some more pressure,
Swallow those extra pills,
But you're just playing games,
To gain your sick thrills.
To see peoples reactions,
When you tell what you've done,
To see their concern,
And the attention you've won.

But I've been there for real,
Where the darkness takes over,
But you only lie,
When you say that you've been there.
Because as long as you feed,
On other peoples fear,
You'll stay in the light,
And never go here.

Get Over Yourself
Jodie Price Jan 2017
A few drinks and I wake up,
The party can begin,
Turn up the music,
Let the people in.
I'm in the mood for dancing,
And laughing with my friends,
Keep the drinks coming,
May this night never end.
Bouncing round the place,
Talking to the guys,
I've had enough alcohol,
To stop me feeling shy.
So I'll flirt on,
And have a little fun,
But you know that's all i'm doing,
So don't pretend you are the one,
Don't you dare make out,
That I am obsessed,
Cause if i'm being honest,
I'm was never that impressed.
Yeah I'll admit,
There was at one time lust,
But i'm so over it now,
It was only ever a crush,
So stop making out,
I'm infatuated with you,
Cause we both know,
That simply isn't true.
I don't know what it was,
That made you catch my eye,
I'm putting it down to insanity,
A disease within my mind.
But that was in the past,
And I've finally seen the light,
And I am determined,
To set you right,
You're nothing special,
And I'm worth much more,
So seriously ******* dude,
Walk out the door.
Not my best but definitely one of my favorites

The Underworld
Jodie Price Jan 2017
​Come follow me,
Into the depths of hell,
Where evil lurks,
And demons dwell,
Give me your soul,
You won't need it here,
Let all of your goodness,
Just Disappear,
Give into the darkness,
You know you want to,
Don't try to deny it,
You know that it's true.
Let's explore all the chaos
That you can create,
The terror, the madness,
This is your fate.
Come on now trust me,
It'll be such a thrill,
Feeding on turmoil,
Until you've had your fill.
Just declare me your master,
And I'll show you the way,
You'll never have felt freer,
If you do what I say.
The world is our playground,
We feed on the good,
The lost and the lonely,
The misunderstood,
They feed our fire,
Giving us power,
We get stronger with,
The more souls we devour.
They try to deny it,
But they can sense us there,
Defenceless fools,  
Without any cares,
Trying to keep,
Their fears at bay,
Ignoring the signs,
Such easy prey.
So come now my minions,
Give into me,
Let's get this game going,
And set our dark sides free.

Night-Time Drowning
Jodie Price Jan 2017
​I buried my worries,
Deep within my soul,
Into the depths,
Where I try not to go,
But in the middle of the night,
While I lay in my bed,
They creep from the shadows,
And enter my head,
Dragging me down,
Into their bleakest of places,
Bodies of darkness,
Without any faces,
Caressing my heart,
With an evil leer,
Causing surges of sadness,
Heart-ache and fear,
My demons thrive here,
Trapped in their haunt,
Playing their sick games,
Of torture and taunt,
Get me out of here,
Out of my mind,
Save me from this hell,
And help me to find,
A slither of peace,
An end to the sadness,
Away from this pain,
And all of the madness,
I can come back to the light,
As a new day is born,
My demons are silenced,
At the break of dawn.

Self-Destruct
Jodie Price Jan 2017
Finish off the bottle,
Regardless of the time,
I don't need to sleep,
I'll just do another line,
I'll skip work tomorrow,
I've got better things to do,
Friends keep on calling,
But I'm not really in the mood,
Alone in my own company,
Just me without my thoughts,
Thinking about my problems,
Is a process I have fought,
I'm in a mode of self-destruction,
But I don't really care,
There are people I can turn to,
But I don't really want to share,
So I'll ignore my problems,
And just go day to day,
I never thought that I,
Would live my life this way,
But here, Right now,
I've got no energy to try,
I'm using all I have,
Trying not to cry,
How long can I go on like this?
Without falling off the edge,
Wanting to want to live,
But wishing I was dead.

Super-massive Black Hole
Jodie Price Jan 2017
​I can feel it coming on again,
And it scares me to death,
I'm struggling to stay afloat,
Fighting for every breath,
The darkness is coming,
It's drowning out the light,
How do I continue to hold on?
Where do I find the strength to fight?

I knew the peace wouldn't last forever,
In truth it never does,
The darkness is forever present,
Like a storm cloud hovering above,
I want to run away,
I can't go through this again,
But I don't even know what I'm running from,
When it's it's coming from within

I try to laugh it off,
Drink my fears away,
Pretend like this isn't happening,
Keep my fears at bay,
But my heart feels like its being consumed,
By doubts, guilt and self-hate,
And every time I try to counter act,
My strength just flows away.
The simplest thing can set me back,
And ruin any progress that I've made,
No matter how far I've come,
This depression I can't evade.

Please set me free,
I really don't think I can survive this time,
I know one day things will seem brighter,
And I'll be just fine,
But the lowest points I experience,
Are to hard for me to deal,
There's simply too much emotion,
For one person to feel,
I wish I could be a person,
Who shakes it off and carries on,
But until that coldness leaves my heart ,
Life simply feels wrong.

I'm standing on the edge now,
Looking now at the depths below,
You may not understand,
But I do hope you know,
That I have tried to fight this,
This isn't me just giving in,
I just cant deal anymore,
With the demons from within.

— The End —
