I hate being alone
Too many thoughts enter my head
The empty soul starts to moan
Too many reasons I'd rather be dead

I'm afraid of my emotions
Can't confront them face to face
So instead I let them build up
I outrun them in my own race

I hate being alone
Because I know I can't run away
From my mind and my thoughts
I'm stuck, I have to stay

It scares me to think
I'm scared of myself
That my body is my own living hell
And it pains me that
Every breath I take
Is a breath wasted
Because when I'm alone I'd rather not be awake

Yesterday will forever be my favourite day
Because
Yesterday, you were mine
And yesterday the sun would still shine
I'd smile as I woke
I knew I was so rich in love
I never thought I would go broke
And yesterday is when you were still alive
When I still had my eldest brother by my side
Yesterday my parents were together
I still believed in a forever
It was yesterday when I loved myself
When I thought I was just as pretty as anyone else
And today
I am alone
I am sad
And I am only loved on the nights I give away my body to a man in which I don't know the name
I am only by my brothers side when I cry so much my whole body feels the same
My parents are only together when they are yelling at me
And I am only beautiful when the alcohol distorts my identity
I am disintegrating into a society that I don't believe in
And falling into a path of destruction and sin
Today I am not the me that I want to be


*Yesterday, I was.

It's so often
When your world falls down
That your mind is lost
And now you've got nothing
To smile for
To laugh for
To live for
When it gets difficult to breathe
And your stomach won't sit
Your heart left so sunken and empty
These are the times
That you feel most alone
When there's no one nor thing
That will hold you
And tell you it's all okay
Because it's not okay
It was never okay

I fell in love with the devil
and he left me in hell
He led me through Heaven
and then he threw me back down
He gave me a taste of everything i'd ever dreamed
He made me sign my life away
Then ripped my heart by the seams
My friends begged me and pleaded to let go of my sin
But my willpower was weak,
temptation would always win
He bloodied up my body
and he choked out my tears
I was in love with the devil and stayed with him out of fear

The night I met you we hit it off right away,
the evening was ending but you decided to stay,
we were both committed to others at the time,
but you stayed with her, yet i ended mine
I fell in love with you that day
I couldn't tell you, what would I say
so instead I became your very best friend
I'd promised I'd be there for you until the end
Closer and closer we'd grow every hour
Finally I let the secret out that you and I should be ours
For so long it was going so well
Until you slowly sent me to my personal hell
Breakups are hard when it comes to love
But impossible when it comes to your best friend who's above
everyone in your eyes it really was ****
I lost control of my life bit by bit
You tore me to pieces and watched me fall
You stopped talking to me and just laughed through it all
Two years later we rarely say as much as hello
I try to pretend that I'm calm around you, that I'm mellow
However inside I'm a total mess
because if you asked if I loved you, I'd still say yes
For everyone who's ever fallen in love with their best friend to only end up with a broken heart that still sinks every time you see them.

Untitled. It's often written at the top automatically, waiting to be replaced
but what if untitled was what we need in the human race?
Maybe untitled is the exact mystery that'll hold us down
from rising up to the very top and getting vane with our crown
Everyone needs a somebody, and maybe untitled is the one
the never ending creation that will never be done
Untitled is just a word with an infinite meaning
but maybe it's that infinity that will end of our earths demeaning's
2 letters away from titled, 2 letters from an identity
but what good is a title if it leaves you with no serenity
Untitled is the one thing keeping you out of the monsters in the dark
because without a title you're anything; a princess, or a shark?
Untitled is just a word with an infinite meaning
but maybe it's that infinity that will end of our earths demeaning's

the age we start drinking and smoking the ****
the time where we forget about doing good deeds
when reality finally came into play
we learned that life's all night and day
as we watch the world fight about not getting their way
and when our first love leaves us although we begged them to stay
it's when we realized that mommy and daddy don't always know best
they aren't superhuman they're no better than the rest
and teachers became the enemy of us all
instead of the ones who help us up when we fall
rebelling and lying is just what we'll do
until we're old enough to make good decisions
maybe once we're 22
but until then we'll continue to sin
when we have ***,love,and drugs where do we even begin
that first lover who touches us, who makes us believe
in a love, a good life, the lover who deceived
us because soon we'll grow up not to trust
we'll forget about real love and grow to want lust
we'll age and forget about all that we've done
with two kids and a mini van where's all the fun?
the fighting between a partner and you
a divorce that's so likely between the two
your kids are now mommy's and daddy's like you
and slowly the days are getting to few


and *it's over.
How quickly life passes us...
Accept that you will make mistakes, and make them, enjoy them and learn to laugh at them.
