Tired flames
Still burn, though they struggle
Tired flames, The wind is to come thy way
And fight you shall, to keep thy light

To the heavens one cries for mercy
Only to be met with rain
Tired flames
Struggle, struggle
They come for your light

Issue #1

High criticism in opinions
Lack of support
Overthinking situations
Mental breakdowns inside my soul
Backlash after Backlash
Trying to find my voice in this world
Yet, I hold back my tongue

Issue #2

I quit dating because my heart was torn open so many times.
Distance myself from friends because I was being taken advantage of.
Stop writing because my poems won’t change lives.
Gave up on the promise land because it’s difficult to reach.

Issue#3
Bills due monthly
Large pay check here
Short pay check there
Long shifts = Long nights
Trying to save money
Tuition due soon.

Here goes FASFA calling again....
"~Excuse me, I have to take this call"

It's all been said.
It's all been done.
Think you're broke and lonely?
You're not the only one.
Living in a world so isolated
So cold.
They say the only ones
who survive do what they're told.
But that's just what they want you to think.
They don't want you to find the power you have inside.
So get your thoughts together, wake up and let's ride.
We're going to say
what we need to say
and whether we succeed or die, at least we can say we tried

Today is ending so tomorrow can begin.
Tonight, your eyes will rest as you grow your new skin.
This is something our body does every night so we can have the best chance to keep fighting the good fight.
In the morning, you might not feel the best.
So make sure you have enough energy to take on the day by eating breakfast.
Your body will do whatever it takes to make sure you survive.
But it's up to you to take care of your new skin so you can thrive

the threads connecting us
to our loved ones
need to stay strong
like spider's silk
to survive this battle.

I feel lost in this world with no sense of direction
Where am I to go
When all I am is a mass of imperfection
Never winning, always losing
In this magical world
Filled with corruption

You stand there
And watch me cry out like a symphony
Don't you see, I'm falling
And I want you to help me
Not **** me
I hate this
I don't want to be like this
But there's no bliss in my role

I rolled the dice and sacrificed a lot In order to survive
Now I'm stuck, I just wanna escape
And head into the afterlife
Because I'm tired
I'm so, so tired
I don't think I've ever been this tired
In my ******* life

Hypnotized
Traumatized
What a way
To be alive.

To build a new life
We must survive
The storm coming

We are made with all kinds of flaws,
Some are fat, some are dark and some literally have Down's,
All we've got to do is survive in this world full of teasers,
All we've got to do is to be deaf to all these haters,
Then look up, walk tall and enjoy the journey of the beautiful life,
we've led and will lead ahead,
Thank him for giving us a chance to prove our worth,
Just love and be loved,
For love is the most powerful force.

To all the kids with hell inside their head,
This one is for you
I know what you are feeling right now,
The worst place for anxiety is the doctor's office,
Right?
You are scared they will weigh you
They might see the result of the empty
Paranoia tells you they will judge you for your number on the scale
Depression says you won’t have to do it again,
It says you’ll be gone by next year
You know the doctor might look at your wrists
And if they do…
You will get help
You can have someone be paid to care about you
Having hell inside your head hurts
No matter what they say it doesn't shut up
You can yell
But not over the noise
You can fly
But not over the memories
You can die
But then you come back into the real world
