Everyone is staring
You're trying so hard to stay standing
But your heart is racing
Instead of walking straight
You start wobbling

Your eyes begin to strain
You start feeling as if you just gained a lot of weight
Your heart sinks as you run away
You have to hide

You musn't let them see
The you that is scared to be seen
You feel like you can't even breathe
Your lungs are tightening
As you sink down against a wall
and take into the fetal postion

Just cry, maybe someday it'll be alright.

It's truly terrifying how
ignorant people can be when they
make fun of others and then
wonder why that person
was found dead
a few days
later

Scorched* from the pain
Bleeding from the vain
Why oh why do I still need you for my gain?
Still crawling back to you, though you told me not to

I cannot complain
You're the one I choose
Making you feel that you're one in a million
A shining star that I would never have found

I am in no rush
Patient with every stroke of your brush
Gentle with every touch, don't want to get burnt
Once more, with a world full of hurt

I don't want to go back
Living life in my mundane shack
Without you I cannot cope
You are my sugar that balances me on my tightrope

When I reached the end
I thought you weren't there
Like those who have left
Leaving me there without a care
This heart I share
Protect it like a bear
Vulnerable and bare

You are my coffee, my bitter-sweet honeybee
