I think it's hard to give you up
For the same reason a drug addict keeps going back,
The high is amazing,
Regardless of how deadly it is.

As I saw you there,
Dancing with her,
I felt as if what was left of my heart
Was ripped out
And smashed into a thousand pieces.

Don't let them question you,
But always keep them wondering.

And it was then,
talking to you,
tears streaming down my face,
that I realized maybe I'm not completely
alone.

You are the Earth,
strong and beautiful,
you are the Earth.

You are the Earth
resilient and giving,
you are the Earth.

You are the Earth,
a little broken and scarred
you are the Earth.

You are the Earth
You are the thing that keeps me grounded
you are the Earth.

You are the Earth
always there and something magic
you are my world

I love you.

And so we hold on,
despite the heartache
we hold on.
Despite the pain
we hold on,
despite the scars
we hold on.
Despite the sadness, and loneliness and tears
we hold on.
Why do we hold on?

We hold on out of hope
that one day things will be okay
we hope.
For the person that we fell in love with to return
we hope
that the mask we fell in love with wasn't really a mask at all
we hope.
that maybe we didn't get ******* over
and that this will be the person who finally loves us for all that we are.

So we hold on to hope, despite it all
thinking maybe
this will be it.

This friendship is dead,
the only thing left to do,
is bury it.

Oh honey,
you're not strong enough
to handle me.

I know the price of this life is steep,
but I have promises to keep.

I would give up 10 years
To go back to that night
And relive being in your arms.

Too late?
It's never too ******* late

Good things take time,
I like to believe this can be the case
For people too.

Who would've thought
That the person to break my heart into
Thousands of pieces would be
Me.

If they don't ******* understand,
Make them ******* understand

I sit here broke
Because my angel has choked
On its halo.

Remember the nights we got drunk on moonlight
And shared secrets
But I sit here alone
With heart heavy as stone
And so many regrets.

Life is not about surviving,
It's about living.

Love yourself
And everything else will
Fall into place.

There are days when it will be hard,
Getting out of bed will seem impossible,
Breathing will seem like a battle,
You'll want to just curl up and die.
On those days, you must remember
How far you've come.
How much further you have to go,
And all of the people that will love you
In between

I don't think I'm scared of letting people in,
I'm scared of my monsters escaping,
And for you to really see what transpires
In my mind.

The goal is to climb the mountain
Not carry it.

Life is a locked door,
but somebody stole my key
labeled "happiness".

Life is a locked door,
but I can't seem to find my key
labeled "happiness".

I have always been an incomplete song
You were the chorus
I have always been missing

As I walk these crowded halls
getting lost in the sea of people around me,
You are gone
and I have never felt so lonely.

"Why do you always make funny faces in the mirror?"
She asked me.
I wanted to say
So that I can actually look at myself,
I just smiled and said "cause it's fun"

She kept making herself smaller,
Putting herself into a box
To try to fit into everyone else's world
Silently praying that one day
She would come across someone
That would open her up

I just want you all to know,
That if you ever need someone to talk to,
I will always be here.
No matter what.
I care about all of you, so if you need to talk then send me a message, I will do my best to help you :)

Why do you do it?
He asked her,
To which she replied,
So I can feel something.

She wears her scars like trophies  
And tells each story proudly
Whenever someone doubts her strength.

My mom says
"Wear more colour"
If only she knew how red
My hips are
I bet she wouldn't be saying that.

I needed a little rain
So that I could dance,
But now I'm drowning in it.

If the rain is falling
And you're stuck outside
Just know my arms will be a
Safe place to hide

And with you gone too,
I think I am officially
Unlovable.

Her bones break
and
her body shakes,
trying to figure out
how much more she can take

Saw a couple today,
Younger than me,
With promise rings on their fingers.
How truly lucky
Or unfortunate
To find love
At such a young age.

In 17 years of mistakes
And regrets,
Wrong turns and
Bad decisions,
You are the first thing
To feel right.

These feelings I have for you
Are too much for me.

I think I love you,
And I'm not going to lie,
That absolutely terrifies me.
What do I do?

They say absence makes the heart grow fonder
I don't think that is true,
Unless this is a sign that
You don't feel the same way I do.

I want to know about
all your battles and wars
And I'll show you my scars
If you show me yours.

Show me you care,
Because I'm starting to feel
Like nothing to you.

Some nights I'll need you
To hold me a little tighter.
For those are the nights that
My world shakes, and I might
Break apart.

Some nights you'll need me
To hold you a little tighter,
And I may not be very strong,
But on those nights,
I will hold you like you are the only thing
I have to hold on to.

I wish I could hold you in my arms
Late at night
And whisper I love you,
The moon and stars the only witnesses

I wonder how many of us
Would cure our loneliness
And depression,
Heavy nights of silent tears,
If it meant we would never write
A truly heartfelt poem again.

If sadness were as potent as alcohol or drugs
Before I met you
I would've been wasted all the time
And high as a kite.

Think of all the things we could accomplish
And all the things we could be
If we stopped seeing life as a competition
And started believing and working
Together.

Oh the things we do for love.
We go to war,
We ****,
We lie,
We steal,
We cheat.
But one of the saddest of all
Is we try to be someone everyone else loves
Rather than loving ourselves.

I need to understand
That just because the timing was perfect for me
Doesn't mean it was perfect for you.
And no matter how hard I pray
There may never be a perfect time
For us.

Oh me, oh my, taken these broken wings and fly.
