Lights twinkle across my face,
O, I love how those metal torched chambers shine,
That's a smile that's larger than the whole world.

...Large!
Large, silly hands with a strong grip,
And yet, they are so gentle,
Gliding gently across bare skin,
Sending signals that can tell the body,

"Relax"
Relaxing and soothing voice,
Who knew the most pompous vocal part could be...
So...
Bashful?
Or Beautiful?

Angelic!
Angels wrapped around your finger,
Is that how it works?
You are so pure,
Innocent,

Blessed!
I guess I'm pretty lucky,
Because I have someone full of warmth to, well -
Hug
Kiss
Smile at me.

And my goodness you may not be perfect,
But that's okay.
Just accept yourself,
Fully
Completely
Just smile,
And let the light that reflects off thin wires
Light up my face.

Please EVERYONE stop feeling for me,
I want to feel for myself.

I know you care and you want what is best for me,
But honestly I can hardly breathe,
With your hands on my shoulder,
Head next to head,
Whispering how I should live MY life?
I make my own decisions,
And frankly I make pretty **** good ones.
So LEAVE ME ALONE!

Stop being offended for me.
I actually am quite strong,
And despite my lack in confidence,
I'm not too blind to see
When someone is just joking around with me.
So before you get moody please talk to me first,
I'm sure it will be better than bottling it up.

Stop soothing things that don't need to be,
If I need your opinion I'll ask.
Just because you need to fix yourself,
Does NOT mean that you have to drag me down,
Right next to you,
Especially when I'm already,
Barely,
Staying above water.
It seems like every time I can maybe breathe,
Someone just wants to rip that away from me.

I know you care,
I know you want to make sure I'm okay,
But sometimes it makes me worse.
And I'm sorry for every lashing out,
I guess I have things to work on too.
Maybe if we can all just talk things out,
We wouldn't all feel so blue.
Let'a start over, can we please?
My name is Morgan,
Sometimes I need help,
And I'll let you know when that will be.
Just be here when I need you,
And I'll do the same.
We can use each other's shoulders to cry on,
Just as long as we're not casting pain

Why do we daydream?
Sometimes, I do not even know what a daydream is,
And it scares me.
It scares me because every year they increase.

It seems like there is always a reason to be unhappy now,
Because when I was a kid, I did not look out windows,
And dream of another world,
A better world.
When I was a kid I did not have to dream,
Perhaps because I did not live in fear.
I did not have to dream,
Because I did,
And I saw.

It seems like everyday I look outside
And I see visions of trees
And imagine the sun making rays across the sky,
Piercing through cracks in branches.
But I am just too **** busy to see,
That maybe, just maybe, it’s already in front of me.

I dream instead of trying,
I give up before I even begin.
I put myself in a world where everything is perfect,
Because I’m too scared to jump
To risk
To try

So I’ll stay here in my dream world, safe, and secure.
I will stay shielded from rejection or heartbreak.
So why do we daydream?
It’s easy.
