Like a perfectly squared puzzle piece -
Life is the bane of my existence.

I don't know, diary,
I've been touched by morbidity.

I am not getting this 'life' thing right,
My grips are tight and things slip

Anger comes from places unheard of,
Slightest hells are the shells of explosions

Am I even a person?
When I don't own enough to feel my very presence

Am I even a person?
When whatever emerges from me is obsolete

I am the sole cashew hiding in a bar of chocolate;
The behavioural tick that picks on unsteady nerves


And so the question remains;
Slices my veins as it takes the reins of my sleep

Am I even:
A person?
A spoken word poem of some sort.

Hey there,
little girl,
yes you little girl,
stop crying,
stop lying,
I know you’re trying little girl.
You’re smarter that you think, t
hrow the sharp silver down the sink,
open your eyes, no more good-byes
you can fly, little girl.
You have a purpose
don’t be nervous,
you can work this, little girl.
Don’t let that boy corrupt your head,
with those derogative things he said,
he’s crazy,
don’t be lazy to tell him “NO!”,
little girl.
Don’t let those girls bully you,
crush them like dirt under your shoe,
you can do this,
I can prove it,
listen to me,
little girl.
And if your parents are quarreling,
close your eyes and start to sing.
In a minute it’ll be over
and they’ll be sober, little girl.
And if you’re parents don’t treat you right
and every time you’re in a fight,
count to three, close your eyes and let the music be your guide.
When you can’t sleep at nights and
deep inside you want to cry,
look to me,
I’ll be your friend and put your tiny head to bed.
Who am I?
I am hope, here to free your body, mind and soul.
Let me be your best friend.
Hey, guess what?
You’re beautiful little girl.

Verse 1

Formless, Unyielding, I cling to this feeling

"Contain yourself" they said (well I think I won't!)

Know this, discerning, submit to this yearning

Cause when it ties me down I (slip right through the rope!)

Arcane Prisons cloud these visions

Pressured by my inhibitions

Only when I see through the mist

Will I have the means to prove this

Chorus

(Give up it's so absurd!)

In time you'll find, I have the final word!

(Give up it's all a dream!)

Or so it seems when all of your thoughts are blurred

(Step up if you deserve)

In time you'll find, I have the final word

(Step up, it's all a dream)

Or so it seemed, are all of your thoughts confirmed?

Verse 2

Shameless, revealing, the key to this feeling

Sustain yourself they said (and they think I won't!)

Know this, determined, submit to this burden

Cause when I hear that sound I (give in to the hope)

Arcane prisons cloud these visions

Tap these walls for breaks I listen

Only when I see through the mist

Will I have the means to do this

Bridge

(Patience is befitting of a master

Still life's short and we just want it faster)

Chorus 2x

2nd Bridge

Break my locks, unlock the breaks internal

Burn down the walls, from my prison infernal

One last knock in case there's any more doubt

I won't stop until my fire burns out!

Augmented Final Chorus

(Step up if you deserve)

In time you'll find, I have the final word

(Step up, it's all a dream)

Or so it seemed, are all of your thoughts confirmed?

(Give up it's all a dream!)

Or so it seems when all of your thoughts are blurred

(Give up it's so absurd!)

Today you'll find, I'm having the final word!

If you ever even knew
How much I question myself
In the name of you
Then you'd probably give me more
Than a mere moment or two

— The End —
