My skin and my body
Protect what's most sacred
My mind and my heart
Beneath it I'm decent

A shell's what you see
That will never hatch
But through conversation
You might find you'll latch

But I'm not worth the time
I'm not worth the search
I'll smile, I'm fine
Beneath it I'm hurt

Bonds break
What was once there
Is now not
Is but a memory shared

Tears are cried
In secret rooms
As so to keep up an appearance
Without all the gloom

Tell me this
Why don't you call?
I'm here waiting
Feeling small

Inferior,
Lesser,
But I know
I'm equal as is every human soul

I love you or loathe you
There's no in between
I'd rather be honest
My grass is not green

It's rotted and overgrown
Once you hop the fence
Full of the truth
Full of regrets

Frozen moments
Stop and smile
Memories golden
Left for a while

Place, people, hopes
We didn't know our faith
Future like a ghost
Lingering with days

Hide your tears
Wipe your eyes
All sorrows to the back of your mind
For looking back you'll see what's good
You'll know the bad
What's left you should
Cherish
For in that moment
Everything was fine
Everyone stood still
To keep this one moment in time

Purity
A new soul enters the earth
Unable to protect yourself
Unable to control your future

CRASH

Before you can even remember
1st of March the last second together
And you don't realise the course of your life
Forever changed, poison has spiked

You're mind is tainted
Everything bias
A pity party has been invited

Before it's too late
Stand up and see
What's beyond the cloud
You've pre-destined grey

I was born pure

The world is a crazy place
Temptations and demons
Good vs. bad
It's hard to feel safe

So you try to stand on your own two feet
Try to feel like you're strong
Try to fend for yourself
Only to realise your wrong

You need help
Just like everyone
To feel alone
Is to feel like your done

I was born pure
In a world full of sin
And I tried to fight
I didn't win

I will never forget
It's not always easy
I will never regret
The past

Outcast
Freak
Pushover
Weak

Well *******
All I ever wanted was peace

And with that, I caved in on myself
Losing perspective, bad mental health

I was out of my mind, a drugless high
And all I need is to be at peace
