The anger I feel
That you would leave me in a world
That I wouldn't want to be in, if you're not there
I guess I am partly to blame
Oh, how jealous I would be of you though
That you're happier without me
You have no idea how you can change the stars
Light up entire worlds
Oh Brother, don't change who you are
I found out my best friend tried to commit suicide and this is my coping.

Stop
Don't speak
Let the silence
Be your voice
You don't have to be perfect
Word for word
You just have to
Be quiet
Sometimes
You don't need
To even say a word
Just listen to the stories
And troubles of a friend
Just listen and say nothing
'Cause they don't need
Your words, but they need
To empty out the feelings
They've kept on hold.

Wonder why I can rejoice in a light breeze
but a single fallen leaf
turned in the wrong direction
can make it feel like
a storm
a hurricane
a monsoon?

Wonder why I can revel at my ease
but a single word so brief
aimed in the right direction
can make me feel like
a swarm
a bit insane
a baboon?

i used to pass my fingers through the flame of my lighter when I was 10
in order to see how slow I would have to go for it to start hurting
now,
can’t you see
why I was afraid when you asked that we take it slow
