I wanna break free wanna talk But these chains bind me wont let me walk With death in hand a reason to protect I'll endure through hail and rain I won't falter I'm not frail Walk through fire and the pain All I've faced before now pale Stand tall I'll break the chain Hooks in my skin nails in bones I suffer for the ones I love Rich look down from their high thrones But I rise above I rise above Through the fire through the storm I'll keep marching keep me warm With every battle I'll transform Stronger now than when I was born Though they laugh and though they sneer I won't bow down won't feel fear For the ones I hold so dear In the dark I'll be their seer Hooks in my skin nails in bones I suffer for the ones I love Rich look down from their high thrones But I rise above I rise above

My Love
She's been given a path that is all but manageable This is given with a smile and a suffocating responsibility She does her best, To Give, To Listen, To Be Who They Expect. But what if its not enough What will happen if she chooses the illicit path Do the rewards out way the losses? Will the love being sought after come from enduring hardship Or rather through adversity? She must be absent from her mind, To even question the 'life' GIVEN to her. How ungrateful she must be to question this broken and distorted guidance. My guardians are not as wise as I was made to believe. So how do I function with the apprehension of my selfish actions. I can not stay true to myself for the fear of hurting others. But I can not keep living with the disquiet in my heart.

Crossroads
I'm sorry I'm the ***** up mum I wish I was the daughter That you could admire Instead I just destroy Everything I desire I'm sorry I'm the ***** up mum And I'm not like the siblings you love I promise you that I'm trying But I know that it will Never quite be enough I'm sorry I'm the ***** up mum The others seem to find it so easy I wish I could breeze through life Without a care Just like the others I'm sorry I'm the ***** up mum I promise you I'm working Towards a better future for us all Even if it feels like It's just a steady crawl I'm sorry I'm the ***** up mum I love you more than words can say I would do absolutely anything To make you proud One day

I'm sorry
A few words can turn it on, A few more can set it off, Then all my walls are gone, Open to your scornful scoff, I'm a challenge not a chore, Give me some and i want more, Give me kisses, give me hugs, You're the ****** I'm the drugs, Its been awhile since I've had affection, I'll add you to my hearts collection, I can't explain you won't understand, Never on purpose always unplanned, You might be an angel sent from above, Now you're stuck with my heart and you're stuck with my love, I doubt my heart from time to time, My mind tells me there's no way you'll be mine, I'm always ready for disappointment, I like to stay vacant plus you cant afford rent, This all makes me happy but it makes me insane, If you take my heart, then with you it remains!

My Head At Night
I touch the side of my thigh and feel the familiar ridges and raised skin, that I can not decide if I’m proud of them or asaimed. I could point to each and every one and say the reason and date, but I don’t. My thoughts are more twisted than that kid in fourth periods spine, you know who I’m talking about. People will look at me and the way I present myself and make snap judgments. Those judgments leave little voices whispering about how you are wrong. Ignore the good ones, they say. They are wrong, they say. My face blends in a crowd so easily, don’t think I’m complaining, I want to blend into the crowd.

Ridges
We are friends, and will only be friends. A part of me regrets my decision, Us as a couple, We both liked each other, We kissed, sparks flew. But, never forget the power that has. Relationships have the power to grow apart. Friendships grow strong, harder to break. I will miss the gibberish, I will miss the hearts. But in the end, I wont be missing you, because I will have you, You will be there when I need you, You will be there when I fall. Our friendship has grown forever strong. I love you mostest September 14, 2016

Friendship (September 14, 2016)
I'm trying to break the norm I'm trying to break through the storm I'm trying to discard the dread I'm trying to find happiness instead I'm trying to escape the doom I'm trying to save what it consumes Try though I might I'm failing Try though I might in my bailing Try though I might my ships not sailing Try though I might it's hard to keep caring Try though I might I keep on sinking Try though I might I keep on weeping Maybe I should just let go Maybe there is something I don't know Maybe I should let things be Maybe there's something I can't see Maybe things will be just fine Maybe this is my sublime Maybe things won't get much worse Maybe I really don't live under a curse Maybe this sadness is my way Maybe I'm supposed to fight for each day Maybe I'm supposed to live with catastrophe being the norm Maybe I'm supposed to dance in the storms.

Maybe
Your eyes - they can't look at me right now, so I can't see their beautiful blue But they belong to you So I love them Your smile - it doesn't light up your face today But close my eyes and see it anyway So I love it Your lips - although they speak quiet and cannot kiss Are my only escape and my bliss And I pretend I can feel them And I'm happy Your fingers - although hesitant to hold me Are warm and strong, completely wholly Yours, and though they can't be mine right now I love them, laying in your lap To keep from collapse, I can always imagine you happy
