Cuts

It's healing
But it leaves a mark
A scar that reminds me
How weak I've become

Feather

I guess you once knew me,
Like a sparrow knows its song.
I guess I thought you knew me,
But I guess I was just wrong.

You believed I was too weak,
Too fragile like a feather.
So you danced around my feelings,
Predictable as the weather.

But oh how you were fooled,
For you are so mistaken.
Cause the things you think that make me weak are the things that have forced me to strengthen.

So, no, I am not a feather.
I am the whole ******* eagle!
I rise above the hardships,
While you run away like a weasel.

I guess you forgot you knew me,
But this bird has found her song.
So with this blow you now must know
That it only makes me fly strong.

Pieces

I was weak
I was so afraid
I let it break me
It tore me
Into a million pieces
But here I am
Trying to put them back
And realizing
That they’re not the same
As they were before it all
I’ve changed
My weakness
My brokenness
Taught me
Molded me
Into something
Better
Braver
Stronger

The Flower

You were born a seed,
tiny and weak.
Planted in soil,
dark, lonely and cold.
Mind filled with thoughts,
tears flowing, watering each quote.
You'll start to grow,
you'll learn to stand,
and feel the warm sun touch your hand.
Your leaves will drive you
to all that's worse,
then you'll bloom as a flower
with the power of words.

Weak.

Sometimes I laugh on my own
Like nothings wrong
But honey i am not strong
I am weak
That's why I always sing this song
Because it's you for whom I long
Without you
And this is true,
I am just a young man, pale and blue

Stonecold

I push you away
Roll my eyes on you
Put my hands in my hips
Till you leave

So I can cry
In bittersweet relief

Leave, I tell you
I do not care
I have myself
And that is all I need

But when you leave
I look out of the window
Watching you go
Praying you will turn around
Come back
And finally
See me

How I really am
But I can not show
I can not break
I need to be strong

So before I cry
I will scream
Before I break
I will go

The world has teached me
That those that show weakness
Will be run over

So I pretend
Till one day I don't have to

But you never turn around
And my heart
It keeps breaking
As I push you away

It scares me
How good I can lie
How I can pretend
To be stone cold
While I break
In silence

Fatal Flaw

I always thought
I was too weak
So I found a poison
And started to drink

I started off slow
I wanted immunity
Maybe if I swallowed
I’d be granted impunity

To train myself
To survive this vile
I increased my intake
For an awfully long while

Through my lips
My bane quickly passed
Over and over
I felt strength at last

Until one day
I examined my life
Making myself sick
In my pastime was rife

I decided to stop
This must be my last
But here I lay dying
My chance had past

The poison had found its way
Through to my heart
But I thought I was careful
I thought I’d been smart

Destructive temptations are not worth your life.

(In My Feelings)...

I think I'm going to break your heart.
This is really going to tear me apart.

I just don't want my pain to swallow you whole.
You say we're a team and I agree, but I can't see you sink with me.

I hope one day I'll change but right now I'm still in chains.
I don't want you to go through the same pains.
