I did not realize the weight of all these bad decisions
Directly in the shade cast by massive collisions
Needed to move somewhere warm
Escape the cycle of snow
Garden was fading when it needed to grow
For own sanitys sake I fled
Couldn't outrun the hell inside my head
No matter where I go the past follow me like a lost puppy

I have a pleasant face
nothing special so they tell me
but pleasant all the same
I have a surprisingly pleasant singing voice
ok to listen to
but not pleasant enough to bring me fame
I live in a very pleasant house
in a very pleasant place
with my pleasant singing voice
and my chubby pleasant face
If only they all knew
how I long to be less commonplace
and just for once I would like to cheat and win the ****** race!
Being pleasant is a ****** curse!

The moon hanging above is the only one who knows my pain
Listen to laughter in my mind until I go insane
Please do not let the stress consume me in a single bite
Listening to negative voice that raises almost every night
And the moon offers subtle comfort when demons emerge to play
Take a small step forward
Two back the next day
Is it my blood or am I simply too weak?
Won’t give up on looking for the answers that I seek
The world will not make it easy but I have faith I will pull through
And hopefully find happiness hidden inside too
And if I don’t we’ll at least I gave it my best effort

No words out loud
Until the wounds are healed
Rebuild old memories from the past
How long it lasts this phase of healing scars?

Pretending loner feeling lonely
You’re being whole
However do not comprehend it

Common issue
Going crazy
In your head
Clenching fists
And till the end you’re staying

Strong, in and out you’re solid
You’re eyes don’t blink
Your breath is calm and deep
Creature’s contemplating
Inside itself

It’s watching sun that’s falling down the west
Horizon bursts and swallows cosmic star
Illusions scatter, something’s calling you
To go beyond
Yourself
