Act in defiance of your fear,
****** vitality from it,
Do everything it tells you not to,
And Live.

Time to move out...
It was really painful to find out I am not part of your world anymore...
I am not going to lie to you...
I am going to miss you...
And I  still love you...
But I feel you used me...
When you were feeling sad and lonely...
And now that you are able to smile again...
Then I became pretty much a stranger to you...
Well, I truly love you...
And I'm happy I met you...
But it is time to say goodbye...
I will always listen to you...
And be there for you when you need it...
But don't expect me to call you...
Or go after you...
It is time to move out...
I wish you the best...
For I love you too much...
And I only want your happiness...

growing up is realising you were never afraid of physical pain but the anger and betrayal behind their eyes when they approached you.

I’d rather watch you
watch fireworks than
watch fireworks.

It only takes...
One...
cut to slowly fade out.

One...
rope to swing your life about.

One...
train to reach the final station.

One...
bullet to stop your concentration.

One...
handful of pills to finally shut down.

One...
step off a building to lay dead on the ground.

One...
jump off a bridge to never be found.

It only takes one thought to pick one way out
And nothing can be done to come back around...

We can't hide
From the love
Deep inside
Craving
Waiting
To burst forth
Into the sunlight
Of our dreams
Fulfilled

I can be alone anywhere
Sauntering down any rue
Taking in the sights
Yes, and missing you

How did this happen?
So I ask myself
Here by my lonesome
While you’re with someone else

Cities are filled with people
All the connections they do have
You and I were once an item
Now I’m Mr. Sad

All by my lonesome
That’s no way to be
You are gone forever
What has happened to me?

I promenade alone
I see lovers grin
That used to be us
Remember when?

I dont care who you are,
please speak ill
of the men and women
that walked through hell
that carried on as their family fell
that gave everything
to include their lives
so you might sleep in peace at night.
Go ahead,
speak ill,
so we may serve you,
so we may silence you.
If you served or are serving you know the frustration of knowing people who will never understand, who will hate you for what you do.
