Courting chaos, living life on the edge
Dancing with danger, fueling the flames
Toying with trouble, embracing the blaze

Focus on what matters, kiddo: school, choir, and friends.
Ignore the drama at home and don't try to fix Mom and Dad.
You're hurting, I know, but drugs won't help. You're strong and capable.

Things might get tough with Mum's health. Maybe staying in foster care would give you a better shot at life, helping you avoid the wrong path.
But honestly, nothing's certain.
loneliness settles in my bones
burrowing deep into cracks and crevices
slicing deep
as I stare into the abyss
my heart weeps from the pain
the ringing in my ears drives me crazy
let me feel whole for once
not shattered like a mirror in a fight
let me be free from the shackles
the shackles on lonesomeness
I'm a prisoner in my own mind

Moon and Sun, a celestial clash;
