My phone flashes
Screaming it needs sleep
When I scream I don't get sleep
I receive ***** looks
And tempered screams back

I wish I was a phone
Someone would hold me every day
Someone would care if I was broken
I would talk to so many
I could see the world through a safe screen

Ohh how I wish
I was a phone

I was left alone
And I thought too much

I shouldn't be left alone
Ever again
Ellyn k Thaiden Oct 2013
I've thought about escaping
Not for long
Only for a night

And I want to travel
My neighborhood
And wander through their yards

I wish to sit in their back yards
And climb the big tree
In the front

To see what they dont see
And do see
All at the same time

I want to venture into their house
And sit on their couch
And analyze

I want to see
How others live and work
Because they are different

My family is different
Our home, different
Our attitudes change the house

Just one night
I want to escape
And explore

See what others have to deal with
And see it if is anything like
What I have to deal with too

My future is heavy
Heart beat is steady
All the weight of the world
Rests heavy on my shoulders

As I take the mic
And inhale a steady breath
I feel my self shake
And start to quake

As I inhale
I think of life
All my failures
All my glories

Grandpa showing me more
Than his coin collection
And my cousin playing
Dangerous games

Past loves
Past friends
Now a memory
Only a memory

I exhale
And the words pour
In lyrics
A melody

And when I finish
I wake up
And smile
Because in my dream

I tried

I hold my head up high
For I'm to proud to cry
As I whisper our final good bye
The words you say full of lies

Your hand finds my face
And you pull me into your embrace
My hearts pounding like I've ran a race
Oh I try not to leave a single trace

Of sadness in my heart
As you turn away to start
Heading home, and drifting us apart
My head tries to dart

The bullet of emotions racing to me
I tell myself this is the way it's meant to be
I lean on this cherry tree
And feel myself be free

Even the glass
In the old windows
Will eventually break

Even the foundation
Of this building will crumble
Into a pile of clay and ash

And the pillars that
Reach so high now
Will only stand a few feet tall

So what is it all for?
What is the purpose
Why build when all things seem
To do is crumble

The experience
The memories
Legends and stories passed down

Generation to generation
Will hear of the pyramids
And temples in Greece

So if you ever think
Whats the point
No one will remember me

Remember that you helped

You helped build these stone walls
Pillars that stand tall
And broken windows shattered into small

You matter

Turn these scars
Into something beautiful
I am tired of staring
At the mess on my wrists

Take my hurt and
Kiss it all better
I bet if you tried you could twist
My scars into pictures and photographs

Cause this mess that I've made
Is a disaster of rage
The price that I've paid
Is too high to trade

And I am lost in the razors
That's I hold so dear
My safety will be
The death of me

And I'm sorry
For only being half of
What I used to be
And I'm sorry
For only being able to
Give what's left of me
And I'm sorry for all the
Mistakes that I've made
The thank you's I've not let free

I'm sorry
For being there
When I'm not
This is another song. Cried while writing it and I cry even harder when I sing it. Three four time, pretty melody and an even prettier piano and cello piece in my head that I can't seem to write.
I'm sorry for glazing over and I'm sorry for pretending. I'm sorry for the cuts and I'm sorry for slicing my heart away.
