I am afraid to express myself to the world because of unnecessary judgment.
Afraid to be captured by demons but they're already inhabited inside my mind, body, and soul.
so what am I hiding from?
I'll be judged regardless.
The demons are already here and I'm afraid they know all my deep dark secrets
but shhhh.........
deep down in my spirit I feel as though there is something much more scary than a couple demons and judgment.
I think its those thing called "friends"

If you have sinned on Earth.
I'll make you pay for it on Earth itself.
Hell's way too far and too vague for the eyes.
Don’t just take a walk in my shoes. Become my feet.

I thought you made flowers grow in my lungs, but I finally realized that they are weeds.
So I smoke my cigarettes in hopes to **** all of those broken promises you put inside of me.
She brings out the worst in me.

I. I saw the dusty corners in my house
from where all the drawers used to be
and they reminded me of
broken promises and lost memories

II. He was just a boy with a fragile heart
yet he had the ability to break her walls
(and also her bones)
He walked like a wildfire but acted like a gentleman

III. I stared at my empty bookshelves and
I wondered where this was going
People said that I couldn't make
a heart a home so I tried to make
my own house a home instead but
I kept failing
The maids didn't even put my books
in alphabetical order

IV. You told me that you didn't want
to lose me ever but now we're sitting far
from each other and all I can do is watch
as you slowly tear my skin apart

V. My mother said that we need to stay strong
but I can't do it if everything's trying to
pull me into the black hole again

VI. It's cold and I need your warmth so badly
but I'm afraid I'll freeze you
with the wind inside my lungs

VII. You're throwing my heart and watching
as it crashes onto the floor
I hurt my foot with the shattered pieces

VIII. I turned off my light last night
because I knew we both liked it that way
even though you weren't even there with me

IX. You tear me. I love you. You tear me.
I love you. It's okay, I love you.
this is about nothing in particular.. except for us moving out (again) in a couple of weeks. sigh.
My mind is falling off the earth
But my body won’t move at all
All these voices are telling me to stay in the fire
But my heart is telling me to go

Well I don’t need to impress anybody
I’m not worried about my soul
I’ve spent all my years concerned about other people’s smiles
It’s time that I worry about my own

They say this isn’t the way it works
My pockets have to be filled up with gold
But I’d rather have my body with my mind
Until the day when I get too old

So while they laugh at me and doubt my smile
That they think they’ve always seen, but don’t know
I’ll be standing right outside the fire
Throwing away all my gold

calion
you used to be my light.
I wear sunglasses now.
You said things
like perfect timing
and stars aligning;
I imagined constellations
of every galaxy
in every universe
conversing, adjusting
to a position
where we would collide
and I tried
and defied
those stars as best I could
because I knew then,
as I know now
If the stars gave me you,
I would never
give you back
And if there is such a thing
as equal
and opposite
reactions
I plan to defy
the laws of physics
