I'm ok
Ok I'm not fine
Fine, I don't know the reason why
Why I feel so empty inside
Inside where my black heart lies
Lies I tell you to avoid explaining
Explaining the darkness I feel
Feel like I want this day to be my last
Last thing I wanted was to hurt you
You didn't want the real answer to your question
Question why you even asked
Asked me how I am today
Today I don't have the energy to hide
Hide the fact I am Struggling
Struggling to survive the days
days that get harder with each one
one more and I may not be able to carry on.

Shedding my skin

Goodbye past things that hurt me
trauma that still affects me
burdens I no longer need bare
Memories that weigh on my mind
Behaviours we no longer wish to re-enact
the pain we no longer need to suffer from
I have learned what I needed to learn from these lessons
I understand that it is a part of my life that no longer serves me
I am ready to accept it and move on
I am deserving of love
loving myself enough to heal
forgiving myself for mistakes
understanding that which makes me grow.

Chopin in the night

Chopin came to me in the night
accompanying me whilst I dream
he serenaded me with sweet melodies
carried my mind to a distant land
full of beauty and wonder
and the sound of piano keys

Assimilated

I lose myself in your eyes
tip-toeing over tender heartstrings
wandering across your mind
running through your veins
dancing around memories
peeking behind closed doors
searching for lost treasures
battling found demons
excavating my way closer to you

Melancholy Loam

My decomposing soul makes fertile soil
I'm able to provide all the nutrients you need
seeds may be sown in the rich earth
a place for you to sprout your roots
somewhere you can grow tall
only that means eventually you'll leave
you will rise up until your petals blossom
by then I won't be able to see
I will never grow into a flower
until I learn to become a seed.

Contestant Number XIII

I was born into a popularity contest
with no hope of achieving first place
there are no consequences for not winning
but I didn't want to enter in the first place

One way

The door to my heart
does not revolve
You may come and go when you want
but you can only do it once.
