Dear myself,

Today
Was simply amazing.

Despite the eyes that watched you
As you walked side by side with me
Despite the mouths that talked about you
As you held my hand
Not even a moment you felt insecure.

You had me companied wherever I go
From every store that I windows shopped at
To the theatre hall that I almost slept in
I am eternally grateful
For you have always been there
Through my ups and my downs

Though I don’t like being alone but
Being alone isn’t that lonely after all
Sometimes, you just need a time for yourself
Just you and yourself alone

Thank you
Myself.
The problem with you,
is you pour your heart out and fill people up.
All the dents and breaks in their hearts you willingly replenish with pieces of yours,
which doesn’t seem so bad till you realize by the end of the day, your heart has sacrificed everything you have, and now there's nothing left to make yourself happy.

You've always been the one to shine
Radiating warmth and compassion
You could incorporate anyone into a conversation
Eyes with a dashing twinkle like stars grounded to earth

I've always been lackluster
Misanthropic by nature
I hide in forests and on mountains
As much from the world as from myself

Despite all our differences
You chose me to be the one to reside inside your heart
Despite that I could never be every thing you are
I will always love you as I have from the start

The eyes are the windows to the
Soul
Once blue eyes now turned gray
An empty soul in array

The echo of my screams never stop
Through valleys and mountains
Once green
No lush now to be seen

The nightmare of inaudible screams
Is now a reality
My piercing eyes look straight through you
My windows are fogged up
And so is my soul.

Your love

Your love is like
An ancient sword
Dull on one side
Enough to think that
Maybe just maybe
It’s not dangerous
But the other side is a stinging blade
With angry words and desperate silences

Your love is like
The wind in autumn
Gentle enough one moment
To even be called sweet
To think summer is not yet gone
Playful and warm
But the next moment it is harsh
Enough to remind me that winter is coming
Young and a menace; living my life for what it is,
Only you can do you!
Understand that we all go through this crazy world and
No one is alone!
Go out

And see the world and
Never take this life for granted! "
...Oops I,
Did it again, I forgot what I was losing

My mind about,"
Everybody has those days, you're
Not alone in this world.
"
And send a message: I was young and a menace"
Certified and "
here for the psych assessment" and
Everyone's gone mad; "
I'm here for the...
                                    For the......

                                              FALL!*"
wrote this after Stayin Out All Night as I was inspired by some lyrics
of course it was Fall Out Boy, they are my biggest inspiration.
But hope you enjoy, this may not make sense but I had fun with it.

It's hard to be a dreamer
To live everyday
Fantasizing about a life
You'll likely never see

It's hard to be a dreamer
Because that dream turns to hope
And we run down a path
That's almost always a dead end

It's hard to be a dreamer
Because there are too many of us
For us all to be successful
But not enough
For us to all be understood

It's hard to be a dreamer
Because we cling to a life
That others can't see
And prove others right
When we don't achieve

It's hard to be a dreamer
Because we are the most susceptible
To heartbreak

But still we dream
