The whispers came from every dark corner
Every direction
Devouring me
I can’t seem to face the facts
I am trapped by the mistakes
That I have made in the past
But the days keep moving on
I slip into the sea as I beg for one final breath
Just for another chance to share my two cents
They overpowered my every move
What a feeling of apathy can do to such a beautiful mind.
But that mind is now locked away
Until society decides that it’s okay to be one of a kind.

You use the world as a reference point
When you focus on every lie
Trying to make sure that there is a reason to try
But when you’re looking for the answers
That you know you’ll never find
You can’t keep asking everyone else
To come up with a reason to love yourself
You can’t keep making the others happy
When you forget to say what’s truly on your mind

It’s easy to Paint on a smile
When the only thing you’re worried about
Is if the colors will match
When you’re aware that everyone is blind
And if you know that they do
There will always be a single drop of doubt
Because you know,
Oh, of course you know
They aren’t staring at the smile
But the imperfection that is hiding inside
But to mean it is another story
When you can’t falls asleep because
You’re afraid of what might happen in the morning
You’re scared to stop searching for love
In an abandoned apartment building


Another wasted search while you’re cursing fate
For putting in the one place that you have grown to hate
It seems as everyone else has already learned how to grow
At the same time it’s the place that you chose
And will remain being the only place that you will ever know
