I want to go back to a time
Before I knew right from left
Is it blissfulness I'm seeking
Or helplessness I miss

Irked at my own past
It foreshadows my own demise
I am afraid of the future
Because it's shadows have nothing to hide

I thought I wanted control
He's happy but alone
I can give you what you need
But I want something in return

He crumbles beneath my sole
Concrete without metal poles in place
Masks we both wear are shattered
Our dance ends in cold embrace

Snow angels
No they don’t fly
It’s painful

Red stains in the snow
From a small pocket knife

I need snow angels in my life
Ashley Feb 2019
I can never sleep but I can’t say that I want to
Tomorrow’s full of people I don’t really want to talk to
Yesterday I said that I would try to face my fears
But today is just another day I lie to all my peers

I know that I’m afraid
The music faces all but one too many ways
It takes a special kind of ear
To hear the cry for help that’s hidden beneath the fear

I can never sleep so I try to stay awake
Hell why be healthy when when he’ll never see my face
He only know what’s in my veins
Underneath the broken glass are more transparent panes

I know that it’s my brain
The music faces and I don’t want to explain
It takes a lovely kind of ear
To hear the song that’s hidden in my heart

— The End —
