Empty
Numb
Heaviness
Can't seem to think less.

Each day im fading
Is anyone listening?

Long nights -
Headaches, thought loops,
Please stop.
Stuck in thick fog

Scrolling
Binging
Pretending
This isnt living..
Substance abuse,
Doesn't even get me through.
Where is my muse?
A change,
must be made.
I cannot maintain
living in this frame.
When will i finally start
To follow through.
Im sick of being miss blue

Excuses,
contemplate,
Going insane
What is the point
Of anything
If i just spend my days fading away

Never commit
"Shes A flake"
I know.
Im so tired of being this way
Hating how i live
Feeling shame
In who i am,
Wishing i was different
I want to commit
To me again

I want to jump all in.
Leave all this **** at the door  
find the free spirit within
I will do what best for me,
Even if it takes some pain.
Anything is better,
Than living this way.


change is being made
Surrender
what are you scared of?
Trust
It will be okay
Simple,
not a debate
just need to get out
of my own way
Change is here.
Can't keep running from the girl
locked in here
staring back at me in the mirror

She says,
let go.
Change is here.
No need for fear,
my dear.

Life’s a circus, can’t you see?
We’re clowns with bills and therapy.
We chase our goals, we pay our dues,
Then trip on laces in our shoes.

We plan it out, we make it neat,
Yet fate just laughs and moves our seat.
The universe, with wicked grin,
Reminds us none of us will win.

But maybe that’s the secret key—
The joke is love, not victory.
To laugh, to cry, to dance, to fall,
That’s really what it means at all.

So here’s to mess and here’s to cheer,
We’re all just winging it down here.
If life’s absurd (and I suspect),
Then humor is the best respect.

The candle keeps flickering
Every time we bicker
It goes out
The flame
I keep having to relight the candle
Then keep going about
Its always the same

• We fight
• I relight the candle with the scarce light

The room used to be so bright with the light
When it would approach midnight
It'll look like the sun is out and about
But now, I can barely see a thing
Not even the biggest thing
Letting the shadows come out to play

I try my best
To fight back at the painful test
After the arguments
I look back at the room that's dimlit
My gaze fixed on the candle
The darkness around it is one I can't handle
Blood is constantly covering the candle
To simply relight the candle
Yet the flame won't spark

There's no point
There's no point.
The only thing I can do now is wait
Wait and watch the shadows come closer
To look at me like I'm prey
While you relax and watch

We die a little bit
Each day and each night
As we live every minute
Gleeful or glum under the light.

We die in our sleep
And rise again if we’re lucky
And blessed. This is deep
Few people are truly canny or savvy.

Believe not in all the glitters
When it’s time to go or to depart
Gravity behaves like deadly creatures.

We die every day and every night
A little mum or sharp under the weight
As darkness exists deep in the heart.
