I hope and pray every single elephant escapes
with their family, their ivory and their dignity
and each one of them live to see another day
and the poachers, well I hope they find a Job
One that treats them kind, and pays them well
So they will stop destroying beautiful creatures

I'm scared to know that I'm wasting my time
I'm so scared to realize I'm losing control of my life
I'm scared of commitment, of calling anything mine
I'd be lying if I told you "I'm fine"
Wiping these tables to put some food in my stomach
I'm tired of hearing "Don't worry, it's coming"
My heart is racing, I'm running to anything other than nothing
Drowning in depression, I've been trying to pull myself above it
I need someone to tell me everything will be okay
Tell me why did everyone I love, went up and faded away?
Am I crossing your mind? Because you've been all up in mine
But I bet if I saw you, I wouldn't know what to say

Instead of being together with her, I need to get it together
Instead of writing these letters, I want to live to remember
Am I better from my past?
I wonder what I would know
Haunted by a nightmare when I really need let it go
I guess things happen for a reason
Should I  have left these things to chance?
My grandma is getting sicker
And I'm never there when I should be
Feeling lost, I guess it runs in the family
They told me, dreams and passions should always be plan B
How could you judge me if you don't understand me?
Right now everything feels like a do-or-die situation
"Who am I?" Every day I ask myself the same question
I rather be heartbroken and broke than to be labeled as happy
They don't want to understand me because no one can stand me
It's always the outsiders and not the real friends who end up standing beside me
Don't look down on yourself.

Happiness
haunted
with
Jagged teeth
And
Crooked Lips
Smiles
quickly taken down
Once I remember what they look like

And I felt it. I felt something that was familiar and unknown. It was recognizable. It was a quiver in my stomach and a tightness in my chest. But there isn't a single thing to do to prove it and even if I sat down you would have still walked away. So now what am I supposed to do with this feeling?

You said ten years
I have never been more numb
I'll hide my tears
If you are tender
When a life you no longer
Want catches up to me

I have
Horrible memory
Still

But my
Intentions,
They're good
Still

Only for
You now
This is all
For you

And I'm
Scared.
Like that
Same child,
Scared
Still

Because
You're not
Here
But
Could you
Never
Hate me
Still?
