Clay home
You absorb the blows
And you keep me safe
From what I'm too weak to show

Clay home
Your walls may crack
But I'll repair them again
For you have my back

Clay home
You constantly evolve
You must fit this disguise
That protects my resolve

Clay home
It is dark inside
But you hold me tight
Like a beach to a tide

Clay home
A voice has spoke out
"Are you okay?"
"I am fine!" I shout

Clay home
These walls are my life
But that voice still lingers
Causing waves of strife

Clay home
Can you really protect me?
I'm beginning to doubt myself
It wants to be free

Clay home
I claw at this prison
The foundations are shaking
Why has this feeling risen?

Clay home
I have mastered my craft
Of molding you into what I need
But I must walk a different path

Clay home
I'm afraid though
How long will I last without you?
Carrying this weight that I tow

Clay home
I will use my skills
To mend the cracks that I have
Though I'm overcome with chills

Clay home
This is goodbye and farewell
May I never need you again
But only time will tell

Nowadays, I am a particularly content person.
I write, I study, I watch, I socialise (but only on Wednesdays)
and I am alone.
I have officially finished with the nasty business of a relationship, in fact, I don't think I'm relationship material at all.
All in all, I'm okay with where I am in life.

But at night,
I have to close my bedroom door.
I have to close it as soon as I turn out the lights, so the ghosts of my past regrets don't come sneaking in and come creeping into my head while I sleep.
I must keep them out of me, it's not my fault you see.
I tried so hard to help them all but I'm not as strong as I seem.

I accept my life of sin and solitude.
I'm happy this way, honestly, it's the truth.
You have to believe me, you must.

I fight injustice in the West and help people who are in danger.
When my brother was murdered, I became the Lone Ranger.
I bring outlaws to justice wherever I go.
I couldn't do it without the help of my Indian sidekick Tonto.

People constantly think that I'm an outlaw because I wear this mask.
They want to take it off but they learn that removing it isn't an easy task.
Tonto and I always beat the bad guys by using our wits and our fists.
When we're done, the outlaws have handcuffs slapped on their wrists.

I ride Silver who is my trusty steed.
We always help those who are in need.
I only use silver bullets and so far Tonto and I haven't failed.
We will always protect the innocent and send outlaws to jail.

When I get home
Wash off my makeup
Take off my fancy clothes
Look into the mirror
And see myself for the first time today.
One broken girl
Is who I really am
I'm full of cracks
And soon to fall apart.

Would you love me, even when I'm so broken?
Would you keep me, even though I'm so cracked?
Or will you abandon me, when you find out the truth
And leave disgusted by the truth?

Are you willing to love the shy, broken girl
Instead of the outgoing, popular one?
Will you love me to the core
Or do you only love my outside?
Will you love my true self
Or do you only love my mask?

Hiding behind
the lethal blade,
he
slices open to
reveal blackened
pain
and sorrow beyond that
which most could ever
comprehend.

I see it in your eyes
You try to disguise
The smile on your face
But there’s fear inside

Fear of not being good enough
Not giving 100%
Fear of losing
Not being the best

Just be happy
In all you do
Living life is more of a challenge
Even if you don’t show
The fear on the outside

We are all hurting somehow
In many different ways
It’s how you take actions
To climb to the top of the mountain
