Excuses
Excuses
That’s all you ever give.

I guess it should be expected
As that’s all you ever do.
You say you’ll do it
Then make an excuse.

Thanks for the help.
Thanks for everything,
Thanks for nothing!

Loud or quiet,
All they hear
Are the stupid things I say.

Silent and shy
All they hear
Is the breathing of the invisible girl.

Transparent and small
All they see
Is a shadow following along.

When I speak or cry
They don’t hear a thing
Yet when stupidity is on display
They hear everything.

All I want
Is to be heard
To be understood.

Yet as each day passes
The likelihood begins to drop
And the unacknowledged pain creeps forth a little more.

Yet no one notices
The path of destruction
As it lays before me
Each and every day.

I thought I was over you
I thought I could be near you
Without wanting to be near you.

But then I realized:
It’s been so long
That I had forgotten who you really were.

When you’re around
My heart beats faster
And I wish that you would see me for me
And not the crazy girl that you met all those years ago.

When you’re around
Everything slows down
And I wish that you could see me for me
Not the broken hearted girl that you helped to find her way again.

When you’re around
All I do is wish.
And yet, I’ve lost that courage that I had
To tell you the same truth that tore us apart
Once when you told me, and once when I told you.

I thought that all those feelings were gone.
I thought that I could finally move on.
But it’s been so long,
I guess I’ve forgotten
Who you really are to me.

Please don’t leave,
Please don’t pretend,
Please stay by my side,
And be the friend that you used to be
And then I can finally be happy
Even if you don’t love me.

Everyone has a façade
A mask to hide from the world.
From their friends, parents, partners, teachers.

Hiding to fit in.
Changing your façade
To get through the day.

Hiding to get away.
Putting on a mask
To show that you’re not scared.

Hiding from the truth.
Masquerading a lie
To prove that everything is alright.

Masquerading, hiding, masking
All the feelings
Just to ‘fit in’
Instead of being real.
Instead of being the real person
That you truly are.

You don’t know me.
Don’t act as if you do
Don’t pretend to care.

You don’t know me.
You never wanted to.
You pushed me away
Again and again.

You don’t know me,
So don’t come near me.
I tried to be your friend
But it’s too late for that now.

You don’t know me
Yet you swear you do.

If you know me
Then tell me what to do
To find my way from hell.

I’m stuck
And I’m lost.

You don’t know me
And until you do
Don’t try to help.

You don’t know me
You never wanted to
Now I look for shelter

Where I can help myself
To find the wings
You claim I have.

You don’t know me
Or the pain
Or the tears I have shed.

You don’t know me
You never wanted to.

looking forward
looking back
looking towards the future
its a cruel circle.

moving left
moving right
moving towards the front
its a cruel cycle.

going up
going down
going towards something in the middle
its a cruel rotation.

looking, moving, going,
just trying to get somewhere
to do something
its a cruel world
where we can't find the relevance
between the old and the new
between the good and the bad
between the past and the present.

once we see relevance
we can see our true mistakes,
the mistakes of the past generations
and the cure for the future
the relevance between two different lifetimes
all in one world.
