#letmego
in chains i stand
before you
trapped as i am
make me anew
release these bonds
break these chains
set me free
from all my pains
let me go
be who i'm meant to be
no matter what you say
i'll finally be me

You deserve another girl;
I would be a flapper in your world.
The bad guy in your fairytale,
the one to reject the veil.

I’m not scared you’ll leave.
I’m not trembling at the thought of you not being around.
I don’t fear the anxiety that comes with you being gone.
You’re quicker now.
Noticing more.
But also noticing less.
I see where I do stand.
I’m understanding now and I realize now,
This isn’t for us.
Love isn’t enough.
That was taken two years ago,
My belief for love.
I’m sorry, but you have to let me go.
Just let me go,
please.

I don't understand
Why anyone would want to be pretty
When they could be unique
I know that I would rather be me
Than be pretty
Sorry to say that looks ain't all that
But trust me,
It's the character that matters
Not what the character's wearing
It is more beautiful
When the character does something
That is pretty
When they tell you
How amazing the character looks
And how everyone ought to be jealous
I'm sorry,
But I want to match my outside with my in
And if my inside has purple hair,
A lip ring
And stretched ear lobes
Then that's exactly what I want to look like
Because to me, that's an action
And you know that actions
Are really what makes a story
Real
So who here wants to be pretty?

What's it like to let me go?
I asked you twice and still don't know
I'd never thought you'd stoop so low
At least I've learned to manage though
All the pain
And all the shame
You put me through
For all my being was never enough
I can't believe I ever had loved you
Why on earth did I ever love you?
Why did I love you?
I loved you

If my presence
Leave a scar in your heart
Please let me go
So you won't have to torture yourself
By having me around

Causing them so much frustration
Wanting me to be their perfect little princess
But that's the one thing I'll never be
Why do they put pressure on me?
Expecting everything to be easy
And for me to be so oblivious to them
What they say
What they whisper
Behind my back
You should love me for being myself
Let me be who I am
It's torturing me
That I can't break free
From the expectations
Limitations
Not a stranger to the lies
When our eyes meet
I do not wish to be afraid
I do not wish to be a disappointment
Even though I already am
These scars wouldn't be so hidden
If you would just look me in the eye
I want to be safe in your embrace
Not threatened to be caged
Far from all I know
I am alone
In this house
Barely heard
Tears that cannot drip
Yet crash like rain
A hurricane of pain
The violence causes silence
From it
The ashes stir
Who are we mistaken?
With their words
And their actions
And their lack of empathy
Another will is breaking
Heart takes over
Inside
They are writhing in agony
Bottling the truth
And giving it to the ocean
Forever lost
Yet always there
Waiting to be found
Their way
Or no way
Just keep quiet
They won't suspect a thing
When you disappear...

I know it hurts so much
For me to hear you say it
Though I understand you
We must move on by then
It's hard for me to process
But I have to face it all
In order for me to move on
I have to erase our memories together
The first time I met you
It felt like we were meant to be
My heart was skipping a beat
As I approached you with confidence
We began going out in a low-key manner
Still with friends
Getting to know you slowly
And getting comfortable with one another
Until one day
You gave me a text that we need to meet
I felt the excitement jumping in me
Only to find out that it was the complete opposite on that Saturday
You said you weren't ready and we're still young
I told my intentions to you
But that would mostly be the last time I talked to you
And see you
I know that someone else will love you much better than me
His efforts would mean much more than mine
I pray that you'll remember all the good times we had together
And now it's time for me to tell you that it's time to let me go

you make my blood boil
my skin crawl
you make me feel like
nothing but bones
but
i still have my heart
and
it still beats for you

I hung my feet off the balcony and wondered what it was like to fly,
I wore my heart on my sleeve and wondered what it's like to die,
Baby I'm suicidal and you don't love me,
That's a dangerous mix but who can judge me,
I'm insane and I'm in love,
I'm trying but it's not enough,
When I look off the edge I'm so tempted to jump,
Cause I'm tired of lying I'm tired of this front,
My knees are always shaking now,
Feels like I'm always falling down,
Am I dying ? No I'm living,
Life is pain, it's unforgiving,
And God I just want to give up,
And God I've just had enough,
And God this is just to much,
And God that was the last punch,
I've got no more fight left in me,
Just enough self hate to **** me,
And I'm singing please don't help me now,
Not when I'm so close to going down,
Please don't help me now,
I'd rather go down,
Please don't help me now ,
I'd rather go down, oh I'm singing please don't help me now ,
Not when I'm so close to going down
I'm fading fast,
I'm wasting away,
My love will last,
But I can't stay,
So please don’t help me now, not when I’m so close to going down

The dreams,
The ghost of you haunts me every waking night.
Get out of my head,
And let me free.
As I sleep, the fantasy is a paradise,
As I wake, becometh a nightmare, once and overmore.
The memory of it all tears my strung-up heart apart,
Get out of my head....
or come back to my eyes.

The pain has begun to burn a hole straight through my chest,
It stings and sizzles as I try to smile, slowly crushing whatever’s left of this thing I call my heart.
The Waves of darkness that wash over me cause this frail body to shut down, and exhaustion sets in, with the strong girl I once was long gone theres no chance for me anyway.
So please just let the wind sweep away my ashes, and let me finally be what i’ve always wanted to be...
Free.

I've been told you have a sweet tooth for revenge.
I have always admired the strength in your fight.
Unlike you, I grew tired of feeling the heat of your blood.
You refuse to be wrong and when the stone finally sails, you walk around with the smell of spite.
Congratulations.
You finally won.
I am no longer yours.
That's enough vengeance to last you a lifetime.

i hope one day
you will look back and
you will remember
remember how you had me
how i did everything for you,
and gave you all the love i had to offer
and how you
let me go
i hope you will regret
and regret
and regret
that you gave
nothing
back to me.

Please let me leave
Mountains have risen up
that I created
by leaving my clothes in a pile
by tossing my responsibilities upon it
by heaping insult upon injury
by throwing caution to the wind
and by washing my mind down the drain.
Just let me leave
Too many times have I yearned to breathe
to inhale without holding back
to take it all in
to smell the roses
to take a deep breath....
and then breathe it out
blowing dandelions
letting it all out
exhaling without care.
Let me go.
I've given up on so many things I cared about
Too many of them were important
and now I have no excuses
except that I lost hope
and I thought I couldn't finish
and I believed it wasn't worthwhile
and the pain was too much to bear
and I didn't believe it would get any better.
Can I go home?
Finals week is taking its toll,
and nothing can make this better
except a big comfy bed
a mother's embrace in the morning
a hot cup of coffee in pajamas
tv shows I loved as a kid
brothers to goof around with
a smoothie when dad gets home.
I just want to go home.

Go away.
From my heart,
from my soul,
from my head.
Leave me, please.
Take the memories.
Take the pain.
Take it all.
I don’t want to have your smile memorized.
I don’t want your eye color to be my favorite color.
I don’t want you.
I can’t want you.
I need you gone.
You don’t even know it,
you have this suffocating grasp on my life.
On me.
I can’t breathe here.
Because you’re so close,
so far away.
I should hate you.
I want to hate you.
I can’t though,
my heart won’t let me.
If you ever loved me, let me go.
Let me go
let me go
let me go.
Release me from this suffering,
release me from needing to know you’re okay,
release me from needing to check in on you,
release me from being more worried about you than myself.
****
****
****
Just put me out of my misery.

So many people all around,
I'm crowded in this space;
Noises, voices, endless choices,
Mind starts to erase.
Walls start closing in on me,
I'm trapped inside this place;
Cries, surprise, I realize,
I'm just another face.
Get me out, let me go,
My blood begins to race;
Shining, pining, no declining,
Breaking out with no disgrace.
The box they put me in is gone,
I'm a circle in this square place;
Blinding, finding more, reminding
The trapped to find escape.

Can't think anymore
If you would just let me go
Maybe I'd feel free.
