Theres nothing poetic about my pain
Its just ******
It just hurts
And thats okay.

my mask has gotten oh so heavy
but i don't want them to see
the person behind the facade
the real me

they barely see me, they see the mask
but it's cracking through
if i took off my mask
would you still love me like i love you?

i wish i could be me
but they would hurt me again
so i'll keep wearing this heavy mask
until i can finally break the chain

I can be strong now,
Tonight, I'm not in the wrong,
I must help myself

When a relationship
feels like a burden and
trust is found wanting

Break it before
it breaks you.

Dear stranger,
I have never met you before
never seen you smile
never held your hands
never looked in your eyes

To me, you are just a stranger
nothing else at all
then why do you
not feel like a stranger at all?

I have never seen your face before
never seen your eyes
yet I feel like I know
your soul
and everything inside

So tell me, why is this so
is it because we are
not strangers at all..?

I wonder how different
the world would be
if only,
everyone was kind
