I awake to the screaming
That fills the house.
I hate the fighting and seething.
it kills me now.

Don't you see
What it's doing to me?
Don't you know
How to leave things be?

I'm scared- no
"Terrified" is the word.
Next sign of trouble
I'm off like a bird.

I'll take flight
Leave in the night
I can't take your fights.
I'm in such a fright.

And the silence after
Is so petrifying.
I'm trying to understand
But it's such an unreachable feat.

And now it's done.
The tension is so thick
As we all pretend
It didn't happen.

I'm a broken soul
Broken and bruised.
I just want to be whole
Instead of self abused.

I'm alone right now
Afraid of my brain,
Trying to learn how
To cope with my pain.

I need you to know
How lucky I feel
To have ever met you,
To know you're here.

But still I'm lost
In my life's grand journey.
To the side I've been tossed
And I fell to a gurney.

But the doctors can't fix
What's inside your head.
It just precious tricks.
They pretend with the meds.

I tell them it's worked.
I say that it's helping.
But I still have urges;
I'm still feeling crazy.

I'm alone in my mind,
Though not in my pain.
I just want to grind
My life down the drain.

I feel so stupid.
You're not oblivious.
But I'm in love still,
although it's ridiculous.

I'm useless
You don't need me.
I'm not even a part
of this family.

I don't stand out.
I'm nothing special.
I'm your roundabout.
My presence isn't colossal.

I don't belong.
I shouldn't be here.
You all get along
So well without me.

I guess I'll go.
You won't have to know
Who I am or where I'll be
To know the me I let you see.

You are so loved
Everything you do
I fall more for you
And now I wonder

How do you feel about me?
What do you think of me
When I'm not there?
What is there to keep you here?

I can't help but to think
You're far too good for me
You're living your dream
I just continue to bleed

You were my bandage
You held me tight
You protected me
Through my darkest nights

You loved me
You cared
You helped me
You were there

Here I sit
Writing you down
Sifting through this ****
Before it all comes pouring out

You passed me to another
Like food upon a plate
You took one bite of me
Then threw me away

I trusted you
I held you so dear
I don't want to hear it
I'm covering my ears

I'm done, we're through
Please, leave me be
Just let me die
Like a bird in the sea

As much as she pushes him away,
He just won't get it.
Can't he see
how desperate she is?

She can't take much more of this:
He doesn't seem to care.
He's having his fun
forcing her to the gun

She doesn't know
what else she can do.
He just won't leave;
She's begging him please

Someone help her.
Shove him back.
She can't do it alone,
her efforts falling slack

Listen to the wind
Look through holes in the screen
she's there looking in
trying to hear her own screams

She swears it will be over soon,
Her pain will ebb away.
But are her words true?
Or will he continue to play?

You let it slice through your soul
You let it punch through a brick wall
You let it tear out every hair on your head
You let it break you down to the ground

You let it in and spit it back out
You move past it without a doubt
You scratch through the surface
You want something deeper

You don't want to die
So you sit there and lie
It begins to show through
You begin to lose you

All your friends try to do the impossible
You pull away though they mean well
You sit alone in your room
You hate the world but with no proof

You just want to give it all up
You don't want to talk it all out
What even is there to talk about?
"I have no problem, no lie, no doubt"

They say you don't deserve it
But you know the truth
There is absolutely nothing special
Inside of you
