I would rather
bite my lip til I bleed
I would rather
grit my teeth as
they break down
into seeds.

ANYTHING BUT TALK

I would rather
get punched in the face
and pretend that I'm ok
I would rather
be hit by a car
or be sent to Mars

ANYTHING BUT TALK

Talking about my feelings
Talking about me
I would do anything
but none of those things
It's only going to hurt you
than it does to me.

I rather not talk
I rather just walk
let my feelings
be discreet
that's at least
what he said to me.

Dear Buttercup,

How do I
**** it up
when my life
gets tough?

I have been
MAD
SAD
and mostly
HAD

Teach me
To be strong
when life
goes wrong.

All I wanted
was to move on
dealing with
sorrow and pain
it's ongoing tune
coming from a song.

Please tell me
right now
I need to find
a way out
someway
someday
somehow...

It's 3am
in the morning
I'm wide awake
when I should be snoring.

My mind
Is pondering
and I'm anxious
when I could be sleeping.

Oh God
is there a reason
why I shouldn't
be sleeping?

Oh God
should I be praying
because my heart
is racing?

I'll just
put my worries aside
it's about time that
I have a talk with him
tonight.
