Scars
Lily Mayfield Apr 2012
Big or small
They tell a story
On someone short or tall
It's something about glory
Or how they had to crawl

Some people look away
Some people look in disbelief
Some forget that day
Others live in grief

Wounds to heal
Days to forget
Times to kneel
No time to sweat

They may never share
Of that tragic day
Or they may not even care
About what you have to say

We give them space
We look to the stars
We don't look at their face
We just leave them with their scars

Untitled No. 13
Lily Mayfield Apr 2012
Look at me now
Look at me and see
See what you really wanna know, feel, and be
But you could never be me, no
Matter how hard you try, no
Matter how sick you get, no
Matter how many risks you take,
Or when you get pinched

Throw your hands in the air
Throw your money out the window

No one really cares, no one ever really does
They'll throw their hands in the air and your love out the window
They'll look you in the eyes and
You'll fall hard and see what I've been saying all along

If you don't believe me
Go out there and live and
See what type of s* can happen

To Be Me
Lily Mayfield Apr 2012
No one really knows me,
with all the stuff I hide.
I hide my pain constantly,
So I don't lose my pride.

Only thing they see are lies.
They'll never know what's inside.
They've never heard all my cries,
Even with how hard they've tried.

Do they even try?
Are they really that blind?
Let's see them cry.
A happy ending they won't find.

They try to wear my shoes,
But they will quickly go down.
Shortly they will lose,
Soon they will drown.

Out On Me
Lily Mayfield Apr 2012
Take it out on me,
Scream it to my face.
Show me what I can't see,
Whatever it is, I will embrace.

Don't you worry your pretty little head.

People want you to fall,
Turn your back instead.
You can only stand tall,
Don't believe the lies you're fed.

Don't let it be too much.

Come sit over her,
Go ahead and punch it out.
There is nothing you should fear,
Don't let them fill you with doubt.

Why not take it out on me?

Trust me I am strong.
I can handle your rants,
No matter how many or how long,
I will keep my stance.

So take it out on me.

Show Me
Lily Mayfield Apr 2012
I don't think you still care.
You always make me cry.
Leave you? I don't dare,
But I do want to die.

Why is it so hard for you,
To just sit and talk me?
Tears fall from my eyes of blue,
Because your love I can't see.

You need to step it up,
Show me your love.
Just take it up a notch.
Do you need a shove?

I spend my nights wishing,
Wishing you would show me,
Show me that you still care,
And that you don't want to lose me.

What Is This?
Lily Mayfield Apr 2012
He doesn't know if she's in his fate
She sits there crying scared to death
Their hearts are pounding and this they hate
She sits there waiting just holding her breath

He looks at her
She starts to scream
He's not sure
This is just a dream

A dream this may be
Then why is the pain so real
They need to open their eyes and see
If love is what they really feel

Think About It
Lily Mayfield Apr 2012
It's not something to laugh at,
Why do you joke about it?

People out there sit and cry.
You just sit and stare.
You make them want to die.
Do you know this isn't rare?

You push them towards the ledge,
Do you want to see them jump?

Think twice before you talk.
Listen to them when they cry.
Watch them when they walk.
And try not to let them die.

They're always in a constant fight,
And it may never end.

Maybe you can save their life.
They need somebody to be there.
Take away their knife.
Show them you care.
