With your van shoes on,
And hair flows down,
\with your eyes wide open,
when no one is around , what did you do do do do do do do?

High hopes on ten,
just walking down a street,
and your head held high,
when no one is around , what did you do do do do do do do?

My eyes are open,
The world is flawed.
The feelings held on,
It broke apart.
Wondering where I am,
Ya lookin' too hard.
Running away from a past that has you scarred,
Weakened stated that has a fate,
Don't let another human **** you in every way,
Don't let another man in this world invade your space,
Fearlessness is unlimited in this here mind,
Don't let a failed relationship just leave you blind,
Your energy , the soul , the time,
Don't let them ever take your shine,
Cause in this life here,
Problems​ become your problems and everyone just hides,
If you decide that life isn't that hard,
If you reside under a man that's in the stars,
We give what we take,
Live life in the first place,
Because we all gotta die anyway so,


Put your van shoes on,
And hair flows down,
\with your eyes wide open,
when no one is around , what did you do do do do do do do?

High hopes on ten,
just walking down a street,
and your head held high,
when no one is around , what did you do do do do do do do?

Flying High with a bucket full of dreams and a bright purple coat getting ready
just to paint the town.
Caught you hanging around.
Hormones in a life worth searching for a soul that could never get replaced
Walking on the street.
With a swarm full of sheep.
Fresh water fills your stomach as the taste grows thicker than the boy you
Liked in gym class, he was a fool.
He couldn't get with you.
Searching for what it means to be a female teen in the united States and worry
About degration.
It's your imagination.

When **** hits the fan and you think that nobody would care about your feelings
You have a friend in me.
I learned from empathy.
That boy in gym class never gave a **** about who you were and what you
Represented as a person , his fault,
If I were with you I would've gave it all.
I can see , I can see all the flaws and all the weight held on your shoulders, I just
Wouldn't blame you , only time could tell.
Don't live your dreams in hell.

What good is life worth living
If life you can't laugh at
All the ups and downs mixed with the ins and outs
Each time you're up to bat

If you find you can't take it standing up
Then try sitting down
Laughter adds spice to this salt of life
When its flavor is around

If you're new to this and need a good laugh
Try laughing at yourself
It'll give to you a new attitude
Which can only help

To erase the problems
Of the dreaded woe is me
Which causes a drag in the time that you have
So set the laughter free

Guaranteed to make your life worth living
Each time you're up to bat
Through the ins and outs mixed with the ups and downs
When you find something to laugh at

Just wanted to let everyone  know that i woke up in a hospital about an hour ago.

The last light you see is the one you will remeber
when you are roused later on
the feeling of blood against you wrist
Will haunt you in the morning
when you slip into the numbness
you forget all your anguish
And that feeling  that arrives
That Will make others cry
Is the feeling of relief with only darkness as your friend

The place everybody doesn't want to go
almost everyone says no
but however now I'm here
the people around me just generate fear
the counslers and staff
try to make you smile and laugh
but you look around and all you see
is people just like me
the broken, bruised, scarred, and hurting
with more than just demons lurking
everyone's sad
is isn't just a fad
this is the unit for people like me
I'll be here for awhile, trust me you'll see

In a world that is lost
you'll find a few that it's cost
they live in misery
not a life thats shimmery
the scars on their wrists
just add to the list
the too small bodies that only show bone
are the ones that just feel alone
i guess I'm in that category of the lost and confused
Of the broken and bruised

but the way his eyes shine,
the rays of the sun become covered and
overcome
by the brightness,
the warmth,
and the beauty of
the soul
inside his eyes
and that's what i fell for
and that's what i became
insane for
