There is so much I want to tell you but I can't, I'm doing what you asked and writing everything down but it feels like a lot. I'm really scared of your reactions to everything, I don't want it to change your perception of me. I don't want you to see me any differently. My past is heavy and I don't want you to carry it. I don't want to be a burden to you. I've built my walls up so high out of fear. I am terrified of what will happen when you knock them down and demolish the whole lot.

Jumbled together, tied in knots constrained by death, a saddened heart Goodness came to share eternity because goodness incarnate cannot help but share all that is good for loves sake.

I don't know. I don't know what to write what to say how to say it how to be. I have ideas. I have people I could talk to about it. I have it but I can't use it. I could but that means opening up... Opening up about something deep inside of me... Opening up about my biggest burden... Opening up about something hurtful... Opening up about something I kept hidden... Opening up about something buried deep... Opening up about something I pushed down... Opening up about something I ignored for years... So I can't do it.

You have so many petals to share Intricate curves and edges But they’re densely packed inside you The bees are buzzing Yearning for their fill The crisp air Waiting to flow through you The rain didn’t replenish The sunshine couldn’t nourish The soil never uplifted The child failed to pluck you A perfect recipe with an imperfect outcome The sunshine hits and your stems are scorched The storm rolls and the rain turns to acid The soil poisons your roots What brings life to most deadens you The strongest being couldn’t live like this You cry out for an escape So the shadows begin looming The darkness ensues and the energy departs The sunshine no longer scorches The rain no longer corrodes The soil no longer venom The shadows are your refuge Safe from the outside The torment But it’s lonely now You miss what it felt like to feel Empty Open up little flower

If it's meant to be It will work out I hope it's meant to be Even if I have my doubts Sometimes you need to wait & see Sometimes you need to shout All my life I've been loved and free But never felt free to be out It's time. Now I let myself fall out greeted by the moonlight embraced by the pain losing hearing but gaining sight in delirium, becoming sane this is my night this is my right no longer any his or hers not even mine or theirs just this just me not even that an entity

I hate this topic Because what are friends anyways Have I ever really had one I think so Years ago But when you start lying to yourself You can't help But lie to everybody else And if no one knows Who you are It's hard to have friends It's hard to go on Without opening up But opening up Is social suicide When opening up is admitting That you're not the person You say you are Opening up is letting go Letting go of the person you wanted to be The person you pretended to be Opening up means giving your friends The picture perfect opportunity To leave you It's a big old **** you" Right to their faces It's basically saying "I've never told you who I am" And who knows what they'll think I can't tell my "friends" Because I don't want them to leave I don't want to be alone again But even if I tell them that There's no reason for them to believe I've lied to them before I'm probably just lying again And that's the last thing I could take Making someone believe That I don't think they're good enough Not good enough for the truth Not good enough to see Who I really am And in truth all my "friends" Are so much more than good enough They're ******* angels And the reason they can't know Who I really am Is because I don't belong here I don't belong anywhere Certainly not with them

If I let you peek inside The dark room called my heart, Would you run from the faces And blood on the walls? Would you hide from me? From the fear of being engulfed By the emotional flames which consume me Daily?

I am a broken bridge. I am lonely. I am sad. I was once a necessity. Now I’m useless. I’m a waste of space. I’m a waste to the world. A piece of something that is damaged. Who makes everything look ugly. Who is a disgrace to the scenery around. I am a broken bridge. When people see me they only see my flaws. They don’t see the beauty in me. My historic features. The many stories I hold. They only see the broken pieces of myself. That is something I hate the most. I am a broken bridge, but I hold the worlds most precious tales. I am a broken bridge.

Broken Bridge

I am a broken bridge. I am lonely. I am sad. I was once a necessity. Now I’m useless. I’m a waste of space. I’m a waste to the world. A piece of something that is damaged. Who makes everything look ugly. Who is a disgrace to the scenery around. I am a broken bridge. When people see me they only see my flaws. They don’t see the beauty in me. My historic features. The many stories I hold. They only see the broken pieces of myself. That is something I hate the most. I am a broken bridge, but I hold the worlds most precious tales. I am a broken bridge.

In this game that we play There's no way can be won And no doubt that someday All mankind is outdone But "no way" they will say "Just relax and have fun" 'Cause there's always a way Not the absolute 'none' Good luck never can stay Of the minimum one An anomaly may Find a way to outrun All the safeguards in place What you spin is now spun This new enemy faced Can't be beat with a gun Giving birth to a race Artificially one That's not from outer space People smart are now dumb We can't keep up the pace So we will be outrun Relegated to slaves Or perhaps we're just "done" Nothing more than a waste Have a purpose that's 'none' Masses taking up space Can not hide or outrun Destined to be erased Yet somehow we're still stunned Ending the human race For A.I. has now won

On an open plain Gazing beyond A mirage of light Distant from those Who hold me under Grasping for breath In an ocean of hurt For I am alone In this voyage But for the thoughts That cloud my view Upon clear skies An opening Distant from those Who hold me under Walk as I must Kicking up the dust Between my tired feet And the heavy ground The path is long But that I know Step by step The seeds will sow

[PRESS PLAY] there is no light in this place where i reside. my eyes go black and there is only condemnation. *can you imagine being devoid? a soul like nothingness.* what allows you to imagine? what allows you to wonder? [PRESS REWIND] once i had felt the light. once i was the light. now i am lost, eyeless. *if only i could unsee. if only i could unspeak.* what to do when such secrets blind you, silence you. [FORWARD TO THE FALL] i thought i was sunlight. i thought i was kind. now i understand i understand. nothing can be undone. it can only be remade.
