theres a paper copy of taylor swift stuck on the window, an acab sign in her hands
this is the start,
there's an uber driver on a bike singing like i don't exist

this is the part where im cold

here the water overflows and this street understands my journey
two strangers talking about music and growing up with AC/DC and the Red Hots, parents' music shaping you up,
they understand me too

there's leaves falling, the sounds like bricks on the pavement
i sit down, back turned to the church
i heard there's at least one spider living every two meters
im scared of them, like a child's memory never truly leaving,
but the rain has calmed down, or calmed me down, which is which
i heard that wheather is always partly in the mind
i don't resent drops and winds and lightning anymore
i made them, right ? i'm strong enough for that
if i can create water and angry skies then
why do i fear creating anything else.
Plead for a walk,
window glass confession
Heart watchwalktalkmeditationluck,
Cold was not outside today,
Feels like the best spring play
Joy having nothing to do with this run away from your real responsability...
But what to do?
Tell a heart she's wrong?
As if he weren't the same...

Life isn't cruel.

I’ve been on a train of anxiety.
I’m not sure when I stepped on board
or how long I was on it.
All I know is I got to a point
where my mind and body both said
“Stop this train, I want to get off”.
That sudden halt, the screech of the brakes…
I was standing but then I was floored.

I think I crawled off the train
and right now I’m lying on the platform.
People are knocking on the windows saying,
“Get back on, this is the only way
you can really get to where you’re going,”
rushing me towards somewhere.
But if I walk, I can enjoy it and take in so much more.
I can still get to where I need to be,
it might just take me a bit longer to get there.

Luckily I have the option to walk
and a handful of people who really care
and support me along the way.
But there’s still a voice in my head
that occasionally says "you couldn’t handle the train",
so many other people can.
I think I know, somewhere deep down,
that I’m not them and they might get off
somewhere down the line too
…Or maybe they’re riding a different train.
My screams were cutting my ears
Those walls were teetering my fears
Could not stand near or to here
Wanted to show my heroes.

Lost my innocent dreams when listening
to everyone else, what they've been saying.

They threw up on me their bullets.
Then they threw me into the holes.

Tried to breathe but I was under the ocean
The voice I heard told me "That's impossible."
Something in me was becoming invisible
That's how I lost myself in the last battle.

Lost hope and a vast amount of friends
They were influencing all the weekends
Days weren't including any happy ends
They took something in me till it ends.

Wanted to escape from this maze.
Locked into the prison of the mind
Started looking to the beginning.

Suddenly the fears stopped when
I realized that I wasn't injured
I was not broken, faded inside.

They will always be there
Promised me not to hear
What they add more to my fear.

Out there
Just walking

Thinking of
Why I was hiding

Tasting the weather
It's pretty cold

Lip-syncing to
Another song

The moon looks calm
Stars are blazing

I want to hear
a music full of dreams
Hopes and diamonds
Light in the darkness

Never was a warrior
Still want to fight

There is a fork in the road.
A fork will set us both.

Don't want to go back
Know that it's too late;
Still, now I can be
Whoever I want

I've walked the Sun
With its golden roads
To every planet
Its lightstream flows
To those who are near
And those yet far off
A light harsh to darkness
But to me it is soft
A bright warming glow
So eternally sweet
Sollacing, calming
Yet never just heat
It passes through me
Resides in my soul
Without this sun
I could not remain whole
I walk within it
And it shines in me
A light in the darkness
That all might see

I saw you walk down

The empty path to my heart

Searching for the One
