Lying here, alone with my thoughts,
I search through the chaos to make sense of it all.
My chest grows tighter the farther I fall,
Suffocating me slowly in a sea of my faults.
I spiral downward with every regret,
All the memories and pain I never could forget.
Intense with shame and hate all the same,
I closed my eyes only to wake in my bed.
Alone with my thoughts,
Alone once again...

Hate yourself....
Pity yourself......
Hurt yourself....
But always remember that there are other people who will also get hurt seeing you breaking

As the theme park gate opens
Sounds of excitement filled the compound
Little children, teenagers, grown ups
Crowding the lines to rides and snack bars

Joyful chatters
Nonstop laughters
Screams of thrill
Cheeky giggles

I go in circles to bring joy
Especially when I stop for the ones at the highest point
The smiles on their faces
Feeling like they are on the top of the world

Yet...

A lone stranger wanders around
Climbed into one of the pods
Locked himself in there
His eyes watching the scenery blankly

Tears started rolling down his cheeks
Meekly, gently, discreetly
But I see it
I feel the droplets
As it drips almost too carefully..

I felt his pain
The sadness within
So maybe...
Just maybe...
The peak would comfort him
It will give the best view
I'll provide it


But...

The round will have to end
I'll have to bring him back down to the ground
And he will have to return home

Please...
Can we go for another round?
Just one more...
So I could show him that view that I can provide
Just one more time...
Even if his tears would rust me
Or even if it means he still has to leave
At least I know
And I'll remember

*I've made him happy

Anything is possible
It is in you
Have strength and courage
To guide your way through
Keep moving forward
And reach for the light
Maintain a positive attitude
Make your spirits bright

Surround yourself with people
Who lift you upward
Be in a state of euphoria
As you move onward
Let new challenges inspire you
Find your inner strength
Greatness awaits you
Be courageous and give it your best

Fine.

If you want simple, easy, and comfortable
Then I will walk away right now.

But you know that we're not made for easy
You and I were made for hard, complicated, and confusing.

I am a fighter
And if you let me I will fight for you
But love has taught me there is no winning someone who's already decided the battle is lost.

So tell me now
Because "goodbye" is said too often when I'm with you.

We start another brand new year
Another chance of opportunities
Time to build on your craft
As you continue on your destiny
No one knows what will happen
That is the unpredictability of life
We rise and shine
Through all of the corruption and strife

You came to my life
And taught me a lot of things.
You inspired me
Beyond what could have been.

You were the storm
That changed my calm skyline.
You were the sun
That lit up my dark world.
You were the fire
That burned my worries away.
You were the catalyst
That propelled me forward.

You gave me everything I needed
To grow, to prosper, to be better
Than I used to be.

You gave me so much meaning to my life
But I can't give anything to you in return.
And I'm so, so sorry
That there's nothing I can give
To be able to return what you've given me,
To be able to mark your heart,
To make you remember me,
Like how I will always remember you, 'till my hair turns grey.

He understood me.
Just like that.

All my life I never expect anyone
to understand me even a single bit
Not once.
Not ever.
Not a single soul ever did.

And I was fine with it.
I did not mind.
I was used to being misunderstood.
Every day, every week, every time.
No one ever understands, and that was expected.

But he came when I least anticipated it
And he understood me.

I don't know how he did it,
But he did.

and it's just
i don't mean to push everyone away
i just never seem to have the right words to say
(i really, really don't want anyone to leave,
you all mean so, so, ******* much to me -)
because i wish everyone would stay
as much as i want them to
but it never seems to work out that way
and i'm not entirely sure why
things become as they are
and why nothing seems to ever grow
but i'm so scared
so ******* scared
of being alone
so please, i beg, stay
stay and stay and stay
sometimes i am this way
and i don't mean to push you all away
so someone, even just one, please
stay
one word.
