When the lights go out
The shadows start closing in on me
The dreams become real

Looking into the pitch darkness
What do you see?
Hidden forest animals
Lurking around
The trees dancing in the wind

Tangled vines hiding
The lost spirits and ghosts that kiss
In the moonlight

Walking deeper into the forest
It becomes darker
The fog thicker
The woods quiet

A woman can be seen from the distance
Who was once fair is now rotten
Smell of roses to garbage smells
Pretty purple dress to mildew-covered dress
Glimmering green eyes to pitch black eyes

She kisses my forehead leaving a trail of dirt
She puts her finger to her lips
Blink
She's gone
I'm awake

When the lights go out
The shadows start closing in on me
The dreams become real once more

I have trust issues.
not because I mistook a raisin for a chocolate chip,
but I mistook you as a person who wouldn't hurt me.
Who wouldn't let me be tortured under the world's pressures
You knew I was treasure but locked me away in your cheap jewelry box
So, when I was freed of a year's slavery,
I built my wall
Much taller and stronger than before,
just to hope  it'd scare away monsters like you from my door.
Until one learned how to climb.
In time, I let his angel face distract me from his devil's soul
But the guards of my heart blocked him out before I paid another toll.
My wall was built and rebuilt a million times
I installed the blinds and laid alone.
Until a price charming climbed along
or does he belong to those monsters?
My heart says no
but my trust issues say yes
what if he can actually break the spell placed on me?

She was a master of disguse,

She always kept a smile on her face, no matter what happened,

She always laughed when someone made a joke,

All of this during the day, people so blind,

Not knowing what she does at night,

Cries herself to sleep, wears sweaters everyday to hide her ugly marks,

Looks in the mirror and the demons inside her head chant, "fat, ugly, useless, stupid, die" over and over again,

She falls asleep to be in nightmares throughout the night,

Still she wakes up puts on her mask and goes to school and pretends her life is wonderful

Please don't think I live a dark life
To be honest it's really quite bright
Sometimes it's hard to decipher some things
But I know I'll get it someday
For now I'll think these dark thoughts
Cause then again they keep me alive
Yin and yang, good and evil
Packed into one...
Makes it all better
Can't u see?

I hate my life
I want to **** myself
I'll grab a knife
And cut my neck
Hang myself
From a limb
While everyone around
Watches me

I'm choking
Almost out of breath
Bleeding
And then
I feel the sweet delicious release of death
