Who Am I?

Audrey
Who am I?
I am outgoing, but
I am shy
I am smart, but
I am afraid
I am pretty, but
I am ugly
I am passionate, but
I am numb
I am me, but
I am not
Who am I?

Sometimes,
I hate myself.
Other times,
I love myself
All the time,
I'm pretending

Pretending for parents
Pretending for friends
Pretending for everyone
The pretending never ends
I even pretend for me
Who am I?*
I do not know

you wanna fall apart
say you're so weak
keep your thoughts in the dark

you wanna leave us in the dust
but I cant be strong enough
for the both of us

Chorus:
i need you here
standing tall
right beside me
together we can fall
in love
I want you with me
our hearts in awe
entwined as one
together we can fall
in love

you wanna run away
say you're not good enough
keep your heart at bay

you wanna lock yourself up
but I cant be strong enough
for the both of us

Chorus:
i need you here
standing tall
right beside me
together we can fall
in love
I want you with me
our hearts in awe
entwined as one
together we can fall
in love

without you I'm weak
without you I'm not good enough

you wanna be afraid
say you're scared of us
but together we are stronger
strong enough

Chorus:
i need you here
standing tall
right beside me
together we can fall
in love
I want you with me
our hearts in awe
entwined as one
together we can fall
in love

without you I'm locked away
but together we can fall
in love

without you I'm afraid
but together we can fall
in love

in love
together
we can fall

She told me,
'Let's go to heaven
For the hell of it'
As she was smiling
To the starry sky
So benevolent.

Irrelevant when I
Couldn't see her eyes
Set on tomorrow,
But it was just her
Imacable positivity
That had killed my
Pessimistic sorrow.

Because in a universe
That's filled with meteorites
And other cosmic debris,
We're just bright stars
Shooting for something
Further than the moon.*

- (A.F)
For the ones that
worry about the future.

Lost in the city lights
Are small palms
Are little feet
Are muddy faces
Of children of a thousand unknown names
Those palms holding a bunch of 5 rupee roses.
And feet scurrying about amongst the traffic signals
Selling their future to wipe your car's windows
And muddy faces serve you
While their childhood
Brews in your cup of chai.

Underneath

The pale moon sky

Little child

Death is everywhere


The long hard road

The cold  mean stare

The ugliness

/////

Oh say do you still see me

I never forget the truth

Of eternal loving kindness

And the moment

Of every afternoon

Of peace


Can you still see me

Under the pale moon sky

We don't have to die

We could make it if we try

We could find the strength

If we come together

Eye to Eye

If we come together

Facing Fate

Il est la première fois quand tu me regarde
Et je peux voir que tu cherche pas à cacher!
Je lis dans tes yeux que te souhaite une vie en deux
Mais l'univers est contre nous...

Nous sommes heureux avec notre petit échange de regards
Chaque toucher nous réconforte et nous echanter
Et comme ça, nous avons les moments les plus doux!
Nous savons que nous aimons, mais nous avons peur de cette amour...
I am all wrecked
Do act correct
The way people expect
Do seem perfect
Like I have nothing to regret

Always trying to be pleasing
But inside I'm leaving
And nothing can keep me from dreaming
'Cause dreaming keeps me from freezing
While freezing keeps me from healing

I am all wrecked
Doing things people wouldn't expect
Not correct
And not perfect
With lots to regret

I drink, like I'm obsessed
Boys look at me impressed
Want me to do what they request
Think me completely messed
And I am at best, if not ... depressed

I can't let go of what destroys me
Probably drink a lot to flee
And smoke so many to feel free
But can't find the key
To make me happy

I'm all wrecked

I am a ruin
Took me pretty long to work this out.

Written while listening to Marina and The Diamonds. (Mostly Immortal and Happy, but some older songs, too.)

I have a confession to make
And it won't be clear  
Or even wise for that matter  
But I was there  

My eyes saw what they saw
I knew they would tear    
And I swore it nothing new  
But no one was near

I saw what I saw
but now I am here
And yet I still wonder
If I'm ever really here  

I guess the skies
were never as clear
At least In this disguise
I am *sincere
There are places in life where I think everyone goes too once in while, but it's the lessons we learn from those places that makes it all worthwhile. Right?

Thank you TGWLY for creating this exciting challenge. It helped me tap into something I haven't felt in quite sometime. Much gratitude.
