You may be broken,
You may be burnt,
But you'll be okay.

You may hurt,
You may curse,
But you'll be okay.

It hurts now,
You want to give in,
But 10 years from now,
You'll be glad you didn't.

I promise you that you will be okay.

Please don't give up.

Darkness came to me and
he said he's my friend
And you are not,
Is that true?

Silence

Darkness came to me and
He said he can be trusted
And you cant,
is he lying?

Silence

Darkness came to me and
He said everything will be okay,
Is he right?

Silence

Darkness came to me and
He promised me a better life,
Should I go?

Silence

Darkness consumed me
And you didn't care,
But as soon as he came  for me,
Your silence turned into shouts,
Your shouts turned into riots,
Your riots destroyed your life,

But,

Darkness consumed me way before,
And only after I left
You answered me.

Walls

Nite
There's a girl with walls around her
Walls that were built to protect her from the evils of the world
Walls with masks hanging
Each showing a different face
But

I see her behind her walls

The more she's hurt
The thicker the walls become
Effectively deterring anyone from getting close
Yet trapping her inside
But

I see her behind her walls

The facades she brings forth
Are carefully calculated
To minimise any foul play
So that she doesn't have to have her heart
And soul scarred and broken again
But

I see her behind her walls

She runs behind her walls
Flinging sarcasm, insults and indifference
Whenever someone tries to get close
As she's learned time and again
That every time she brings down her walls and allow someone into her heart with the promise that she doesn't need her walls anymore
They tear her defenses down from the inside
Leaving her to rebuild all by herself
But

I see her behind her walls

I come knocking on her walls
Calling for her to let me in
Telling her that
I see her behind her walls
And that I love her
And that I'm not asking her to bring down her walls
But to build our own walls
Just us

Can you see us behind our walls?
You're not welcome

Crazy never looks good on anyone
Especially us
We are chaos
And you are poison
Inside me like a disease
Yet still your laugh awakens my soul
Darling there are two hearts on the floor
One is mine
And *both are yours
Speak the truth however bold
Speak what lies inside the hearts folds
Do not fear the pain it may cause
Live the moment, do not once pause
Take the chance and feel free
Speak from the heart so it can be
Forget the cowardess you feel
One minute of bravery can dispell the ills
If you feel it may cause you disdain
Remember true beauty rises from pain
15 seconds of courage is all you need..

Simply
These urges are getting stronger,
Becoming harder and harder to fight.
I thought I was strong,
But I am weak
I'm craving the pain,
The blood.
I thought I was better
But this overwhelming wave
Of sadness
Is back in full force
And I'm addicted to the pain
Giving in to the urges is inevitable
It's easier this way.
I'm in a bad place right now, that's all there is to say.

One* step forward, two steps back.
Tears, bruises, panic attack.
Two steps forward, four steps back.
Screaming, shouting, way off track.
Three steps forward, six steps back.
Sitting alone in pitch black.
Two steps forward, eight steps back.
One step forward, ten steps back.
Don't you see, this is *relapse?
"It takes five seconds or less to fall apart. It takes a lifetime to put ourselves together."
