When people leave
When you're only a memory
When your pill bottle is empty
When love is no longer an emotion
When you're tired of feeling alone
Only damaged people with ever understand you
I'm not okay... But it's okay

Because when I put that blunt to my lips I'm okay

And when I put that blade to my wrist I'm okay
The worst part about being a woman
Is that a man can hurt me emotionally
And I will always get the blame
It comes off a bit feminist but I'm tired of being told "I just choose the wrong guys"
I'd rather be a villian by standing up for myself than the victim Who silently cries for help.
One who dares to criticize the way you live your life
doesn't have one of their own!
the world would be a better place if people minded their own business

skipping stones across the water
walking beside the ocean's daughter
listening to nature as she sings
taking in the rapture that living brings
                  
Thoughts that she
cannot unthink;
a life that she
cannot unlive.

                
Dreams she has yet to live
and a soul full of fire
looking under every stone
seeking her heart's desire
                
Afraid to see whats underneath.
We stay to the surface
afraid of the ghostly deep,
for there are shipwrecks

              
What lurks beneath at fathoms deep
will not disturb a good nights sleep
for as long as we can stay afloat
courage shall be our own lifeboat
                      
But skipping stones eventually fall
To depths they haven't ventured yet
but, that's when life begins to be lived
when we reach deeper depth

                  
Skipping stones across my mind
like those lucid dreams we hope to find
but in the end we are not alone
having reached the shore with that lucky stone*
                          
Happiness is a skipping stone

Tasting fresh, pungent
cinnamon on the tip
of her tongue

Washing her feet
in spicy
peppermint soap

Finding bliss simply
living life
