I wish I could take it all back
Every word, every smile
You took your knife
And you carved your name into me
So that every time I looked in the mirror
All I would ever see was you
I wouldn't wish that upon anybody
Because all that is left of me
Is what was left of you

I stood before them in my cloak of armour
Hoping they couldn't see the dents
From where people had fired shots that hit harder than most

I stood before them in my cloak of armour
Praying the demons away
Wishing they could not see my ghosts enclosing around us

But they noticed and they saw
And they did not point and laugh
Instead they took my armor and they made it anew

They took my worn down armour
And they fixed the dents
And they told my demons to go away

They made me stronger
They made me braver
They made me, me

It’s hard fighting for a hopeless love
A love that burns scars into your heart
And leaves bruises on your soul
Sometimes the pain doesn’t have to be physical
To hurt the worst

And it hurts so much when you love someone but they don’t love you back
It feels like your heart has exploded
And it hurts because of them
And it heals without them
But you don’t know that yet
And you cry every night
But it’s no use because no one is there to wipe your tears
So you continue crying
And you have to see this person everyday
But they don’t see you
No they don’t really see you
And your heart wrenches and aches
But they don’t notice
No, they don’t notice
And you don’t tell
Because in that moment you feel unlovable

Anger Issues

A wall of fire built around my frame
A place to run and hide
A place I feel no shame
My minds racing
And my mental state is going wrong
I hide behind my shield
I've lived here for so long
I know it's unhealthy
And I shouldn't hide
But when the pain becomes too much
I give myself up to my anger and I just abide
I don't know what's wrong
Or what to do
I just run so fast
My family's worried for me but if they only knew
I want to get help
But I'm too ashamed
So when someone is in trouble
I'll get blamed
Because my first defense
Is to get mad
But when I have no fight left
All I get is sad
I hate it so much
