I just want the darkness to absorb me.
make me disappear.
take me away.
forever.
I am No where
I am No thing
.
Devoid of the promise
To let my heart sing
But the storm
She gathers so patient within
Cast into the sea
. . .
And so I see
Waves of illusion , a fleet of sin
All that remains of a God I miss
I know the welcoming darkness
At the edge of the abyss
The piece of me that isn't dead cares
that piece is what will always make you aware
as my ghost becomes numb in the shadowy corner chair

in the dark, sweet darkness
you left me there to wane
in the dark, sweet darkness
so darkness I became

I hear a passionate song
but I'm a ghost my passions long been gone
an apparition, I haunted you, you'd had it in for me all along

in the dark, sweet darkness
you left me there to wane
in the dark, sweet darkness
so darkness I became

you can't make amends with a ghost
all I had to offer was all you hated most
if you ever want a tall flask of cold, black coffee I'll be your host

In the dark, sweet darkness
you left me there to wane
in the dark, sweet darkness
so darkness I became

as it swallowed me whole
and lay out my shame
The black hole heart ***** everyone in sight inside.
Gravity is not real,
for it were,
I would not be in heaven.
The side show is over,
go home,
face the music,
and go to bed.
No one ever died trying,
unless they were trying to die.

This is how I am
If you don't like it
Don't stay.
Simple as that

I've come to be
The kind of person
that doesn't stick around so long

I don't know who I am anymore
I don't know what I've become

Have you ever looked in the mirror
and seen a monster staring you down

I don't know who I am anymore
I constantly play games
I tug on their heart strings only
to rip them out when I leave
And leaving is something I've become good at

What am I supposed to tell you
That it's not you
It's me
Technically that is true
But that's not the point

What scares me the most is
Not being alone
But
Knowing that
Sooner or later
I'm going to leave you like the rest

I asked and she told me
It's normal
We're young
You don't have to commit

Just because this may be somewhat normal
Doesn't make it okay

I run around
hurting people and
playing with their heads
Whether I know it or not
Help me
Save me from this beast
It has taken me
From who I wanted to be
Help me
Save me from this monster
It has me by the throat
Not letting me break free
Help me
Save me who is this person
Who is afraid of who I really am
All I want is to be free
I wrote this 4 years ago, after my mom had yelled at  me one night
What am I?
Who am I?
Why cant I be normal?
Will I ever be normal?
Why can't anyone see me here?
Why can't anyone tell?
My mind is overwhelmed
Are you?
Or is it just me?
What am I?
I'm not friend.
I'm not a person.
So I must be a monster.
Can't you tell?
I will not become
the person who hurt me in
the past- a Monster.
