They can't help you
enveloped in the darkness
your screams don't reach their ears
your feet are frozen to the ground
unable to move or breathe
heart beats so loud
you want to get away
but the fear of what could happen
of what will happen
makes you stay put

the constellations of stars
as we stare silently into the dark abyss of the sky
remind me of how my heart used to align with *yours

i came upon this place
over-crowded with people
overwhelmed with sadness
and they screamed
      " run, run
           as fast as you can
              as far from here
                    
                      escape

                   while you have the chance"
and i took my legs
as fast as they would go
and carried myself so far away
that the place i came upon
looked like a tiny dot
and gave a sigh of relief
for i had escaped in time

if a man can say what he wants
shouldn't us women get the same chance
without someone calling her a *****.

if a man can eat so much
shouldn't us women get to eat that much
without someone calling her fat.

if a man is a victim of ****** assault
shouldn't us women get the same treatment he does
without someone pinning the blame on her.

if a man was sexually assaulted
and he was getting the blame because of what he wore
wouldn't he get mad.

if a man ate so much
and he got called fat
wouldn't he be mad.

if a man said anything he wanted
and got called an *******
wouldn't he get mad.

Our souls rise
as our corpses lie still
silently roaming the earth
reuniting with our friends
sticking together
even after death itself
let them keep us in their minds
and close to their hearts
finally we rest in peace

a shadow
whispered to me
my only companion
left as quickly
as it came
and i just stood there
in the middle of the night
looking towards where it went
wondering if i'll ever see it again

saying this makes my heart ache
my stomach churn
and my eyes water
but a place like this
is not one i would've liked to exist in
where everyone excludes one
because of a language barrier
and is punished for speaking their own language
because the others felt uncomfortable
it disgusts me
that people think it's acceptable
and it saddens me
that this is a world we live in

our bodies are just a structure
it's basically a thing
we use it for fun and for pain
we wear it down until it can't stand anymore

our bodies are just things that we take for granted

Oh life
what have you got for me this time
i've been through highs and lows
but i haven't got much strength left

Oh life
what have you got for me this time
my bones are aching
and my heart keeps breaking

Oh life
what have you got for me
i'm in a hospital
and i'm running out of breath
(i'm running out of time)

For all the times we’ve had together
it was all for nothing
one mistake was all it took
and now we’re on different pages

trying to rip out all the problems
trying to get you to understand
it’s not just me to blame
and it’s not for you to judge

it doesn’t take much to get mad
and the problem may be small
but you don’t know how it feels
until you’re in my shoes

I want you to know
that i’m not mad
but you’ll never see
because you don’t talk to me
anymore

don’t want this friendship to end
but I don’t understand why you’re mad
we’re on different pages
and we can’t go back

different minds brought us apart
and now i’m left here to try and fix this
but this can’t be a one sided job
we’re both to blame for what we haven’t said

what if you never really liked me
what if we weren't actually friends
what if this whole friendship was a lie
what if our memories meant nothing to you
what if we never talked again
what if we're not friends anymore
what if...

I love your eyes the most,
because they hold all the emotions you cannot speak of
they hold such beauty that when I close my eyes
it's yours I see

You think my scars are to get attention
I think my scars are there to remind me not to go there
they remind me of what I’ve been through and that I’ve survived

You think my outer appearance defines me
I think my outer appearance is nothing compared to what’s inside
my personality and knowledge is what I think matters more

You think my past is something that’s to be made fun of
I think my past has made me become myself
i’ve found the true meaning of a warrior but you’ll never care

going back a few years
when i was just a little girl
stayed up all night
wondering where you were

whenever i asked mum
she would start to cry
and whisper in my ear
it'll all be okay

confused i hugged her
but still i was just a child
knew you were gone
but thought you'd come back

now more than ever
i want to know
why you'd left us
left us in the cold

every now and then
i try convincing myself
that you'd still come back
even though i know you won't

white flakes of wintery snow
softly peck my face
his fingers caress my shoulders
warmth radiating from his body
making me draw him closer
I look up and gently plant a kiss
lingering for longer than needed
and finally I could fall

you don't know me
not then
not now
we could've had something
something special
if it wasn't for all of your games
you pretended all along
you don't know me
not then
not now

When you're all alone
and you feel you've lost your way
just know that I'm here
and I'll always stay

Even in tough times
we'll make it through
don't listen to what they say
it's not true

I know it's hard
to stay alive and put up a good fight
although deep in your heart
you know nothing's right

but keep going strong
it's gonna pay off someday
and thank all your haters
then keep going your way

do you know how many people are desperate
desperate to look young
to feel young

so don't just exist through your early years
you'll never make memories
you'll miss all the fun
