I am no longer
This version of me has changed
Who I was has gone;
I didn't like who I was,
But it frightens me, changing.
I lie to you, but it frightens me that you know.
Again, I am found
In that familiar place
Where I hope for much
Expect little, and am shocked
When I am neither to you.
I lie to you, but it frightens me that you know.
Too often I lie
When I smile at you and laugh
Because deep inside,
Knowing you has made me drown
In this, my pit of self-doubt.
I lie to you, but it frightens me that you know.
Can I stay here with You?
Will You be my one Hope?
I have wandered, it's true:
You more than any know.
Can You more make me new?
And help me never t' go?

I hope you never know how much pain you’ve caused.
I still defend you with my every breath.
The hope I entertained, it now is lost:
All of the hopes of you, I put to death.
There is no reason now for me to stay.
This anger burns hotter than I can scream.
And now, all I wish to do is escape
Because, with you, I cannot feel my dreams.
I longed for what I used to think was real,
But now I know that love is just a lie.
So now I’ll let you go, and I will heal
And wait for someone else to show me why
Love is not wrong, misplaced, or worthless, see—
But love like that can’t happen now for me.
Homework, thou art a most wearisome ghost
Who doth chivy and harry my frail bones
To their shatterment, to amuse the host
But I shall not delight them with great tones
Of fear and agony, nay; with homework,
I shall blast the fearsome foundation flat
And though my heart bids me to papers shirk,
Quiet strength am I, and never fearing
What mere letter or stroke may do to me
For I have but one desire: to learn
And to become the best that I can be
While for homework no sense I yet discern.
What shall tear me down from where I now stand?
Only homework, which I cannot remand.
Thinking about this:
I could do so much better
But then, so could he
There are much better people
In the world than me, I know.
