I am the glass
Sitting quietly on the table
Silently doing what I can
Doing what I am able

I am the glass
Fragile and sincere
My friendship and love
Knows no boundary with my peers

I am the glass
That you'll never find in the store
Unique and one of a kind
And there's nothing more

I am the glass
That you took granted and sent away
You think I was like the others?
No, I was special in my very own way

I am the glass
That was tipped over and betrayed
And no matter how much you piece me back together
My trust will never be the same

I’m tired of being the kid who people only talk to when they need something from me.
I’m tired of being the kid who everyone knows but no one wants to be around.
I’m tired of being the kid who isn't sure who his real friends are.
I’m tired of being the kid who feels wanted but not needed.
I’m tired of being the kid who doesn't know if anyone really cares.
I’m tired of being the kid who has to talk to the shadows in his room.
I’m tired of being the kid who is losing faith in life.
I’m tired of being that kid.
I’m tired.
Goodnight.

when i go to sleep
i lay awake for at least
an hour or three
thoughts, memories and worries
filling my mind
but my mind is empty
i can’t hear anything
but yet everything
i feel numb
but yet i feel everything
every move, feeling and sense
nothing can make it stop
so i just lay awake
waiting
for it to pass
so my mind can get some rest

The butterfly had to go through
a period of slumber
before it could awaken.*

There are holes in my heart
where some people once resided
and I’m trying to let myself free
release all that is me
breaking out of all they had done
basking beneath the embrace
of the sun.

Everyone who has told me they
would always be there for me
have left
I’m done opening up to people
done trusting
I just end up hurting myself in the long run
But for some reason
I’m still hoping and waiting and praying
for someone who will care
honestly and genuinely care for me
someone who will always be there for me
and to hold me tight
wipe away my tears
and someone to promise me that everything will be okay
cause right now I don’t believe it when saying it myself

Leave me again
Where you left me the last time
I’m eager to feel something familiar
This temporary high I get from you
Is bound to end
The familiar feeling of being lost
Will be more than comforting

It's far too overwhelming for me to be so open
To place my whole heart
My whole being
Inside the palms of another human
I seem to have a hard time getting into relationships and thats because I'm afraid. Putting my whole self out there is actually a little scary.

To love—
Is to trust someone with matches,
As you play in puddles of fate.
