It's funny how I used to laugh Every word spoken to emphasize a single thought yet now I stand in silence, just watching Sometimes I tell the truth in hopes of opening the eyes of those whose hearts are set on breaking because the truth sets the crumbling free But then I think to myself how awful it can be to know how broken you are so I sit quietly and just think, just watching When I'm angry I try not to admit it because then I show what makes me weak and weakness makes me cry in frustration because sadness has yet to **** me, only give me company when I'm alone in my room with my eyes set on nothing, just watching It's funny how I used to speak With laughter ripping my soul in two and exposing the parts of myself that swell with delight and illuminates the stars in my eyes yet now I just listen in silence, just waiting.

Parts of me
It's funny how I used to laugh Every word spoken to emphasize a single thought yet now I stand in silence, just watching Sometimes I tell the truth in hopes of opening the eyes of those whose hearts are set on breaking because the truth sets the crumbling free But then I think to myself how awful it can be to know how broken you are so I sit quietly and just think, just watching When I'm angry I try not to admit it because then I show what makes me weak and weakness makes me cry in frustration because sadness has yet to **** me, only give me company when I'm alone in my room with my eyes set on nothing, just watching It's funny how I used to speak With laughter ripping my soul in two and exposing the parts of myself that swell with delight and illuminates the stars in my eyes yet now I just listen in silence, just waiting.
