I wish I was inspired instead of tired I just want to write something beautiful But no feelings seem to be there So devoid Life is putting me in a place where numbing me is better than feeling anything I'm dead inside and it only gets worse I'm pessimistic Rehearsing my smile so that when I go out I don't seem depressed All I've been is stressed But then I get empty and start not to care My innocence tainted My hope disintegrated My heart a black void I don't need love and I don't need that boy I don't need my friends and I don't need him I've been all alone persevering Some how I find it in me to still fake it and no matter how much I hate it it's just apart of routine I won't stop til everything is in shambles Is my happiness a lot to gamble Not really it only last for a second What is life without risk My life was never something No one would notice if I was gone You just keep moving on I wish I was inspired instead of tired I just can't sleep Can't seem to function as good as I used to I haven't felt true happiness for some time I'm starting to forget what the moonlight looks like cause I'm always in darkness I just want to write something beautiful But nothing ever seems to be enough Maybe if instead of being about sadness, if I made it love It would bring tears to the eye Maybe instead of being about masks and pretending If I made it about blue skies and sunshine Maybe if I made it seem dandy it would spark emotional things But I don't feel that way I'd only be writing lies Can't you see the beauty in darkness like I do? Maybe, maybe not Everything isn't as it seems Golden glitter It's sparkling But I don't do arts and crafts I prefer black ink
