Just Be

Lost my footing,
can't get back up.
Need you to help me,
but you're nowhere near.

Losing my mind,
cannot think straight.
Need you to understand,
but you're nowhere near.

I will lose my way,
wander untraveled paths.
I'll need a hero to save me,
but you won't come.

lyrics to another song I wrote... definitely unfinished.

Nostalgia

I remember
back when life was simple --
unknown adventure
waiting to capture me.

I remember
back when loving was easy --
your smile, a few words
could make my day.

I remember
back when emotions were logical --
laughs meant good, tears meant bad
and everything balanced out.

True Lies

those words,
"I'm okay."
spelling out everything I'm not,
giving way to the frightened child within me:
alone, but somehow not lonely
the tears I've cried
threatening to spill onto my cheeks as I speak,
invisible to everyone else.

Enough

Heart-wrenching sobs,
escaping my body.
~~~~~~
My head reeling,
screaming out loudly.
~~~
Nothing in my mind,
no thoughts, no feelings.
~~~
It's all just in the tears,
falling down my face one by one.
~~~~~~
Then rushing, racing,
to get away from this thing I've become.
