they were told to stay still
they were told to stay quiet and not cause a fuss
they were raised to be polite
they were raised to be fragile

they asked to be treated with respect and kindness
they needed nothing but love
they wanted someone to understand them
they would do everything to let you know they treasured you

they were told they were boring
so they started to lie and make things more interesting
they were told they had no worth
so they would try and prove everyone wrong

they were repeatedly told they were not good enough
so they tried their best to be the best they could
they loved and wanted to be loved in return
so they wait for someone who would do so

they were put in stressful situations
so they flourished in an anxiety disorder
they were told to shut up to end other's anxious false
so they started following the rules that were given

I am a pathetic distraction
A mild little shelter for any in need
I am the person who should tell no lies
I am a ghost of the build up
I am the sight of a shadow
I am one not permitted for opinion
I am one bound from the rules that have been given

I'll be invisible to any who wish me to be
I'll be deaf for all who wish to spread the words of rumors.
Ask me where i'm going
Nowhere

People can't seem to understand my existence
I get dragged by the thoughts that over think for themselves
I make complications
I make mistakes

But I will not be permitted to be labelled as a human
I am nothing
Nothing special
Nothing extraordinary

I’m the nothing that will bore you
I’m the nothing that will raise hell
I’m the nothing that wants to be someone’s  everything
I’m the nothing you’ll forget
I’m the nothing that has been taken for granted
I’m the nothing that should never be left alone
I’m the nothing filled with expectation

So I will apologize for nothing
I will regret your disappointment
In the end my real goal is to figure this out
Since this story wasn’t written for nothing was it?

These four boringly brilliant walls have kept me safe
The thoughts have come through the cracks in the ceilling
But it was always these four walls
I'm feeling small again

The paint had started to chip off when I began highschool
And the window lets all the words get back into my head
Its really hard to spend hours in bed just thinking
My tears seem to be the foundation of this very room

Its funny how hard I try to get out with the simply bland door
I always shrink back into this pitifull room
And the dust gathered in the corners is disgusting
All my problems are written on the hallow walls

For every little moment that granted me the right to hide
For every second my headaches got worse
For all the big adventures I was not willing to touch
There was always these four walls and me

Smoke has filled my lungs
Water had taken my eyes
Fire had burned my soul
Dirt has blocked my ears
Light seared through my fingertips
Love stained my lips
Hate scared my mind
Death is my shadow
Life is in my dream
Flowers devour my hair
Fish steal my teeth
Splinters of wood have shredded my feet
Glass shards have replaced my bones
Diamonds stole my minutes
Rocks have treasured my heart

Its easy to sink
Its hard to watch you drown
When I can keep my head up, Or I just think
That I can, even when I'm down

But its hard to be your life boat
When I can sink oh so easily
So these are the simple words I wrote
When I try and help quietly

Its difficult to watch you in misery
So I asked if you needed a hand to hold
Because your tears can be seen clearly
Are you ever uncontrolled

By the sickness
That fills your lungs
Such a terrifying liquid
Depression controlled you ever since you were young

She was worried over her make up and clothes
He thinks she may have a petty crush on him but no one really knows
That day he and she were going to a dance
He decided if the time was right he'll give her a chance
She looked so beautiful in her deep red velvet dress
And she was planning on confessing her love to someone so she dressed to impress
He saw her walking his way
He chuckled changing his mind thinking 'Not dating her no way.'
Her heels clicked to the sound of the beat
He gave her a glare with a way so discrete
She took a breathe
He got ready to give the good old rejection speech
When she walked passed him
And then the lights went to a dim
The music began to be slow and enchanting
And she walked up to the person she loved still smiling
Everyone around finally got the clue
Who the mysterious crush was as she said 'May i have this dance with you?'
The first couple began to walce so effortlessly
He did not understand how they shared such intimacy
The crowd of friends cheered as the two danced glad they could finally dance together in public
There was no more pressure, for this dance was only filled with a great wave of romantic
He stood there in aw
As he could not believe he wasn't the love but the one left behind as everyone saw
While the two figures swayed on the dance floor
He began to anger yelling at her while she had to ignore
This was her moment and it was not going to get wrecked by some guy
As selfish as he wanted the girl he was going to reject loved someone else did not sit with him
So she danced never looking at him nor looking grim
They had kept it a secret for so long now all they could do was dance
The two girls were in such a loving trance

Its so warm in this room
But why are my limbs trembling?
Tears are rolling down in this bright room
The hysteric's kick in and rushing

Searing pain in my chest
And gasping for air is getting difficult
Locking myself in this bathroom while i'm getting so stressed
Family is on the other end of the thin wall remembering my thoughts are not so innocent

It wells up in my head what everyone calls danger
Then there is no more reactions, completely disconnected
My body is now like a stranger
The worrying thoughts targeting my daily life as expected

Trying to keep the world out with music
With all the maddening loss
What is with this endless panic?
Its just another big anxiety attack I have to come across
