My dreams are slipping away as I numb the pain,
Watching the clouds coerce with the rain,
A glimpse of the sun is all I need,
To get on my knees and beg and plead,

Leave me alone, I don't care for your lies,
Splattered within the color of your eyes,
They remind me of a beautiful ocean's shore,
That has been torn apart but a man-made war,

My blood bleeds red but tonight it bleeds black,
As I think of all the mistakes that I can't take back,
You left without trying, now I'm broken,
No longer can I trust the words that you have spoken,

Let me be miserable, let me be free,
As I throw my torn heart into the dead sea,
There's nothing you can say, nothing you can do,
That will stop the black from shining through.

You’re tired of me,
Cause I’m not who I used to be,
I’m better now, but not to you,
I wish there was something I could do,
Who am I kidding? I need to move on,
I can see that you’ve been long gone,
I’m a master of disguise,
You can’t see through my eyes,
Now the sky seems a little less blue,
Since I’m no longer with you,
The grass seems a little less green,
Ever since I’ve been clean.

Hey there love, I got something to say,
I know it's bad timing but let me know if I may,
Just get these feelings off my chest,
And I'll leave it up to you to judge the rest,
For days I've been trying to sort out how I feel,
Like, is this love? Is this real?
I've come to the conclusion that you're the one I need,
Longing for your love, Baby take the lead,
I've never been so sure about something before,
Willing to give up everything, Shut every door,
And start new with you right by my side,
I won't let you down, In you I'll take pride,
When you hurt, I hurt, It's we're meant to be,
Baby, I don't think you know what you do to me,
I'm under some sort of spell that you cast,
And don't worry, I'll treat you better than your last,
Trust me, I'll love you with everything that I got,
I just need to know if you feel the same or not..

Have no restraints,
No second thoughts,
We are two saints,
Tangled in knots.

I am broken,
Still under construction,
So out-spoken,
With a niche in dysfunction.

You are perfect,
Everything of my dreams,
So very worth it,
Tearing at the seams.

No matter where we go,
I could never forget,
You helped me grow,
You carried my debt.

Will I ever win?
Will I ever stop giving in?
To the demons that chase me around,
They try to throw me onto the ground,
They whisper things into my ear,
Only telling me what I want to hear,
Promising good out of nothing but bad,
Giving me things that I wish I never had,
I try to get out, I try to break free,
The darkness just won't let go of me.

I do not write to be cruel
I write to survive

I've seen what work mental illness makes out of people.
Self harm, drugs, drink, sectioning, suicide

Write to make sane the insane world
To ponder out the life I have lived
Tis better on paper, than on skin.

Tis better to be writing than hanging.

I want to leave my mark on this earth
With words.

Words enlighten, words frighten
Words teach, Words fight

You taught me my words
Now let me use them.

And lets hope I will reach 30
For if I don't, least you may have my words
When all else is gone.
