When we're young
These are what we see
Girls with makeup
And nice bodies

From the shows we watch
To the toys we play with
From the books we read
To the pictures we're shown

We're superficial for good reason
It's all we've ever known
Blonde hair, big *****
Tiny waists, long legs

Constantly in competition
We compare ourselves to everyone
Who's outfit is prettier?
Who's skin looks better?

Size 2, small shoes
Tan skin, long lashes
Always expected to be perfect
Too ******* ourselves because we're never enough

We were programmed to be materialistic
Never really had a choice
Any other way, we're called ugly
Not as good as the pretty ones

We're always supposed to Look Like Them

Home is the smooth of your skin

Home is the scent of your clothes

Home is the beat of your heart

Home is the feeling of your arms

Home is the look in your eyes

Home is the way you speak my name

Home is the warm feeling of your breath

Home is the taste of your lips

Home is you and everything involved

I'm sick of feeling numb
Anyone with me?

I wanna hold you in my arms
Until the end of time
Those rings on our fingers
They say you're mine

Not a single force
Nor any combined
Could take you away
Our lives are entwined

On the outside
It may seem shallow
But within our love
To the depth we go

Though once weary
Weakness shown
We are now whole
No longer alone

Through the passion
And the pain
Our total devotion
Will always remain

Even when it's hard
And a handful
Your presence easily
Keeps me joyful

Does it get any better?
Is it possible?
Could we get any closer?
Could it happen?

There is no competition
My soul is yours
No need to petition
I give in already

You saved me
Without thinking
You supported me
Without realizing

My entire world
Is you
My everything
Is you

Seems to simple
To fall so quickly
Seems to fast
But you'll be my last

You gave me light
When I was drowning in darkness
You gave me sanity
When I felt too heartless

You've reminded me
That good can really be
You've changed me
And become part of me

You're the part
That will stick
The part that
Will never leave

You're the one
Who outshines the sun
You're the one
Who made eyes open

Living and breathing
In such beauty
Should not be possible
Yet, for you, is nothing

Exceptional existence
Extraordinary reality
I adore you, no resistance
You've inspired a new me

Inspiration for the better
We'll become the best
Handwritten letters
Tattooed across your chest

A declaration
Of our honest truth
A dedication
To our brand new start

No longer lonely
An enchanted pair
Willing to become one
Our entire life, we'll share

Could one person
Be so enticing?
Could one being
Change a life?

Of course, you're magic
You're casting a spell
You've chased away my demons
Ran them back to hell

Now a life of joy
Because it's you I possess
And us together
Has put me to rest

I'm bleeding out
Almost empty



You spite me
You tried to **** me



Sorry, I should have told you
I'm immortal



I bathe in blood
Drink the souls of those who fail



I created evil
Gave birth to fear



Yet, you think it's simple
To end me here?



Hear that ringing in your head?
That's a sign



Soon enough, I'll have your life
It's mine!



I can't wait until the moment
I steal your breath



It's such a rush
My own ecstasy



Oh, don't even scream
No one cares



Not a single person will hear it
They just don't value life anymore



Haha! Isn't is funny?
It's all because of me!



Now, cry. Beg me!
I want to hear your suffering



It's nothing to be ashamed of
You were misinformed



You didn't know who I was
Now you see



Shh It's all over now
Don't worry dear


After you die
It won't sting

Take hold of me
Fill this void
Where my heart should be

Press your lips on mine
Bodies entwined
Taste sweet like wine

I drank my life away
Then got ****** sober
So now I'll beg you to stay

That harsh realization
Your hands, I trust
There's no hesitation

Love like a breath of life
Courtship ended now
See my future as your wife

I wish I knew what it's like
To be a teenager
I wish I knew what it's like
To be normal


I wish I knew what it's like
To be confident
I wish I knew what it's like
To have a mother


I wish I knew what it's like
To have a biological father
I wish I knew what it's like
To have a family


I wish I knew what it's like
To not fear tomorrow
I wish I knew what it's like
To not worry too much


I wish I knew what it's like
To have a home
I wish I knew what it's like
To be well off


I wish I knew what it's like
To be a teenager
I wish I knew what it's like
To be normal

Do you know how it feels
To wake up worried if you'll make it home ok?


Do you know what it's like
To cry yourself to sleep every single night?


Do you know how it feels
To wonder if you're mother is going to abandon you today?


Do you know what it's like
To stress over whether your younger siblings will eat or not?


Do you know how it feels
To go to sleep hoping everything will stay calm?


Do you know what it's like
To call your dad and have him ignore the phone?


Do you know how it feels
To lose your own parents to crystal?


Do you know what it's like
To throw away your own father's needle?


Do you know how it feels
To barely make it through the day?


Do you know what it's like
To come from a shattered home?


Do you know how it feels
To blame everything on yourself?


Do you know what it's like
To be a child like me?

I cry, beg you please
Scream
Scratch desperately


Why?
Why not me?


****** words
Empty minds
Broken hearts
Lost in time


Open the doors
Let in the contraband
Crimson stained skin
Take me, I'm yours


Guess it's only right
To give in to the fight


You'll eventually leave
It's only for tonight
