I'm surrounded by a sea of people
As far as the eye can see
All flowing in the same direction
And just floating along, is me

I've been wading in this water
Letting it carry me any way
Not caring about which direction
And never having any say

After wading all this time though
My legs started growing tired
So finally it was time to choose
Which direction I desired

But the problem with floating along
Was that I never became aware
I wasn't really a part of the waves
I was just sort of...there

What I wanted didn't matter
The waves still moved as one
Whether I moved with or against them
Didn't matter in the long run

Then I thought I better get out
And give myself some time to think
But I couldn't see the shore anymore
And with that, I started to sink

Now I'm surrounded by a sea of people
As far as the eye can see
All still flowing in the same direction
But drowning in it, is me

Goodbye to decisions made
Out of confusion
Out of extreme emotion

Goodbye to the one whom you could have loved
The boy you shoved
Further and further away
Out of Fear
Don't dare shed a tear

Goodbye 16
Goodbye my dear.
Can't wait to face 17's challenges! MOVING ON HERE I GO!!
Don't you dare fall in love with me
I'll hurt you.
For selfish reasons
I'm a wolf clothed in sheepskin

Don't let me get underneath yours

I come not from a broken past
But something's happened within
A heart that avoids everything

I'll lure you in

You'll be my taste test
Chewed on and spat out
Discarded cud on the mud

Don't you dare fall in love with me
Cause I'm not broken
And can never be fixed
I'm a rose with thorned stems
Hold me and you'll bleed
Let me go...

Let me go
It's better for us.
If that's so
Mum are you watching im standing right here,
mum are you watching are you still there?.
please say something so i know your alive,
Please say something so i don't feel deprived..

if you go now then Ill be lonely and sad,
if you go now then youll end Up like dad.
Ones already gone not the other too,
I need you mum i need you for you..
MUM, watching,

I hate how
we're the generation
who's confidence
