I tell the world I'm invincible
That the words they say don't lacerate my skin
That every time I look in the mirror
I am happy with who I am
What I am, who I've been.

I tell the world I'm invincible.
That I go to bed each night with happy dreams.
That every time I fall in love
I am content with loving them
Wanting them, them having me.

I tell the world I'm invincible.
That nothing in the world can hold me down
That every time you crush my walls
I'll build myself up
Never cry, never frown.

I know inside I'm not invincible.
But I tell myself to make it all okay
So every time I crumble at 3am
I'll move on from it
I'll make something from it, I'll grow, I'll change.
Your kisses
Leave my lips
Stinging.

Oh how delectably
Electric.
Today I swallowed a hole
It voraciously
Devoured me whole

Insidious pit

And you
Moist pig

Fell inside of me
Exposing entrails to
This Gnawing

Gluttony for what it's worth
Is only a problem
Perverse

And what I know
Is you too are a hole

And two empties
Does not a whole
create
Sleep is sometimes, just a way of escaping.
You don’t have to be constantly reminded of the things that went wrong.
You don’t have to think of all the memories
and the things you left unsaid.
Just for a little while,
you are unaware of all the things that make you sad.
You are in a state of calmness,
a place where you don’t worry about anything.
But, the second you wake up
everything is brought back to the sad reality.
You suddenly remember where you are
and all the things that have happened.

i'm sorry i cried
the first time
you  called me
beautiful.
it's just,
everyone that's called
me that
leaves.
honestly,
i dont give a ****
if you think
i'm beautiful.
all i'm asking
is that you
stay.
