Just Anna

I feel helpless
Everything that I had ever done
flushed down the drain

I dont feel love anymore
I have even started to dislike people
I once loved

As I stood and watched everything
just crumble
slowly but surely
my heart ached

No matter how hard I tried
Or think I did
It
just
doesn't
work

Too many people
Just one me
and
I have feelings too
Im not perfect
I have my bad days
Im not as nice
as
you might think
I am

Im fading away
Shivering
in the
cold
Hungry
for food

hungry
for the girl I once was

why do I feel so sad?

Summer Sisters

I don't know your winter hats
I don't go to your school
I don't see you from September
To the end of June

But I know how you row a boat
And how you scrape your knees
And we know the best train tracks
For squishing all our pennies

You're the better swimmer
You're the better dancer too
You always win at badminton
(But I win at Taboo)

Share our favorite movies
On those dank and rainy days
That make us feel like thunder
As the skies are set ablaze

I know your mom, I know your dad
I know the dog you used to have
I know the cottage makes me glad
Cause that's where I know you.

Living to Die

The Whisper

Living to Die

In a world as complicated as humans themselves,
Perception is key for a guy like me.
A guy who looks in instead of looking out.
A person that's clueless as to what life's about.

Do we live for the money so that we may survive?
Or do we live for the good times with the laughs and the smiles?
Do we live for the love that we save for another?
Or do we live for our families as fathers and mothers?

Do we live for the ***, the drugs, and the pleasure?
Or do we live as sinners until Hell's frozen over?
Do we live for the power that we gain over peers?
Or do we live as followers, mindless sheep, or deer?

To these, I say nay, for I've discovered the truth.
To live is your choice, whatever you choose.
I live and I learn, I learn and I die,
Into the void, behind my own eyes.

And whatever may come after my last breath,
I shall not fear it for it isn't the end.
Whether it is or it isn't, I'll never be sure.
But whatever it is, I'm there to endure

Lost.

Lost.

I tried to send you
all of my love on paper wings,
but something got lost in translation.
I spilled my heart but ink isn't nearly as thick as blood,
so I'll have to open up my veins and let you in.
I've been standing at my window, hoping the stars don't mind me saying, they could never compare to you,
Because they remind me there is so much more, but you're here to let me know that maybe I don't need it.
I don't know where you've been, or where you're going.
But honey, I'm just as lost as you are.
And maybe you don't know who you are,
but I've been a familiar stranger to myself my whole life,
and I'm willing to try and find myself in you.

Oh Dear God

Oh Dear God

Oh Dear God,what do I do?
My heart won't stop pumping
And it's all because of you.

Oh Dear God, what do I say?
Why am I suffering?
Will I ever be okay?

Oh Dear God, if you're up there.
I can't feel the warmth you send down,
I can't feel your stare.

Oh Dear God, I'm trying to do what you say.
But my life is difficult and
I'm trying to pray.

Oh Dear God, help me please!
My heart has been open for
You to come and cease!

Oh Dear God, please **** me now.
For I am miserable here and
I will allow.
