Throughout my life
               I’m having a hard time,
               I stumble and fall
               And struggle through it all.
               I’ve tried to fit in
               But they always shut me out,
               Is there something wrong with me?
               Why they always put me down?

                I need to know what’s going on
                What’s it all about,
                I need to have a purpose
                That will make me stand out.

                I need acceptance in my life
                That will make me feel good,
                I need acceptance in my life
                That will put me in the best mood.
                Acceptance in my life
                Or someone to be loved,
                I need acceptance in my life
                from the Lord God above.

                Acceptance in my life

              

               I want to get in on the action
               But they never let me in,
               Now I have a bad reaction
               to this pleasantry sin.
               I’m rejected and heartbroken
               ‘cause they wouldn’t want me now,
                I’m in desperate need of someone
                to comfort me when I’m down.

                I need to know what’s going on
                What’s it all about,
                I need to have a purpose
                That will make me stand out.

                I need acceptance in my life
                That will make me feel good,
                I need acceptance in my life
                That will put me in the best mood.
                Acceptance in my life
                Or someone to be loved,
                I need acceptance in my life
                from the Lord God above.

                Acceptance in my life
                

                I don’t want to feel left out
                I want to put myself out there,
                I’m sick of being alone
                I just want a friend who cares.
                Yeah, I want to stand out
                I want to be recognized
                And to be known from the world;
                It’ll be the best thing of my life.

                What’s the point of me trying?
                I just know that they don’t want me.
                I can’t take this anymore!
                That’s not what my life’s trying to be.
                I need some experience
                That will help me through my life,
                I will gain some confidence
                That will take away my strife.

                I need to know what’s going on
                What’s it all about,
                I need to have a purpose
                That will make me stand out.

                I need acceptance in my life
                That will make me feel good,

                I need acceptance in my life
                from the Lord God above.

                Acceptance in my life

              

               Acceptance in my life

late at night, i lie awake
thinking of things i should have said
all the mistakes i've made
and signs i should've read

then think about what i can't live without
you, front and center in my mind
sometimes it feels like halfway love
almost, but not quite

still, parts of you make me whole
who i am and who i need to be
i think of love letters that weren't torn up
feelings of blue and green

when i'm without you
blank page, artless innocence
i realize how dependent i've grown to you
and feel the need to create a distance

sometimes i look up at the purple sky
and wonder if you're looking too
i gaze at the colors and the beauty of it all
though its beauty would never compare to you

Once in a blue moon

You find yourself
You look in the mirror, into your reflection
& wish to catch the tears falling

I wish the moon & I could embrace
For it’s blessed me with another night
of its brilliance

Blue moon, blue moon
You make me woeful
Why must you bring out the ocean in me

I’m losing myself
I got nothing but me
Back to the waters I’ll be

my hands are full
and my fingers are breaking
for counting my sins
and all of my flaws.
so i apologize
if couldnt hold myself together.

My face is a study in cheekbones and shadows
And still
I remember a time when I felt at peace
Before my eyes grew distant
I was softer, fuller of colour and life
My smile, my pout, my laugh
Are a remnant of lost days
Now I paste them over too-sharp eyes
And a stiff jaw
Feeling hideously unnatural
An imposter in my own skin
To save myself
I withdrew from myself
I think
I have been away for too long
