I wish life was as beautiful as it seems
Daytime sorrows
Bittersweet dreams
Stressed out adults
Misled teens
Greetings Kings & Queens
I truly hope all is well
I have cared enough
Not anymore
Now I am free

Today I found the strength
To delete every trace of you from my life.
Right now everything's not okay,
But I feel like I'll be alright.
Is this what moving on feels like? :)

Words have no meaning if you can't speak.
Don't get lost in your imagination with me.
I'll always be here, wanting to play.
Others don't understand what you feel everyday.
You can't hear any of this world's beauty.
You can only imagine the sounds of things we see.
You've been taught a language no one normal can read.
You're lost in your mind waiting to be set free.

Don't be afraid; I am here in your head,
But you sit and cry, filled with sorrow, instead.
No one can help, you'll make your own path.
Stand up to your fears and never turn back.
You may feel blind to this criticizing world,
but you are a unique, talented girl.
I am learning sign language.  It made me think about how deaf people feel when they are introduced to a hearing world.

I am out of control.

I feel it in my soul.

I'm tearing apart again.

Tearing apart just like then.


It hurts me so badly,

being stuck in a fake reality.

Not being able to write.

Not able to see the light.


This is all hard to comprehend.

Tell me; When will it all end?
All I can say is this took a lot more time than usual to write.....

At each cry for help
You stomped on my throat,
And then wondered why
I stopped speaking.
You cut me,
And then found a way to blame me for bleeding.
I gave you my heart.
You tore it apart.
But I'll always be the villain in your story,
And you'll always be the love of my life in mine.
That is the saddest part.

You repeatedly gave me red flags
And I took them each time
With a smile,
As if they were flowers.
I chose to look for green lights,
And in that way, I guess, I broke my own heart.
