I'm not saying the word;
it's meaning does not work right now.
I'm not saying the word
because I know I'll be back.

No matter what is choking me,
strangling me within,
I will never say it
I will never say goodbye.
Calm down-
it's almost over.
Just wait a little longer,
and the nightmare will end.
Put down the sharp edge,
and listen to me:
Your thoughts are like fog,
a fog so thick breathing is agonizing.

Calm down-
it's almost over.
Blink and it'll be gone,
the nightmare will end.
Put down the sharp edge,
and listen to me:
Pain won't make it end,
it won't end because it'll cause more pain.

Calm down-
it's almost over.
Close your eyes and it'll be gone,
the nightmare will end.
Put down the sharp edge,
and listen to me:
Follow my voice,
for my voice will get you through this mess.

Calm down-
it's almost over.
Don't let the blood leak out and it'll be gone,
the nightmare will end.
Put down the sharp edge,
and listen to me:
You will be alright,
*soon enough that you will see the light again.
Don't let the darkness bring you to self-harm. You're more precious than the plants or water or universe. You just haven't seen it for yourself.
Fire is what I was,
what I am,
and what I will be.

I will stand,
as I am tried to be put out,
like an uncontrollable inferno.
I can't stop
these hands
from expressing these feelings.

I can't stop
these eyes
from glistening with tears.

I can't stop
these feet
from running away.

I can't stop
these legs
from darting.

I can't stop
these limbs
from trembling.

I can't stop
these thoughts
from turning dark.

I can't stop
this imagination
from imagining the worst.

I can't stop
thinking about
what you did to me.
Is the center of a circle the safest?
Could it really be where the less of the pain courses through these veins?

Is the center of a circle the safest?
Could it really be where I can rest these weary limbs?

Is the center of a circle the safest?
Could it really be where I can keep the blood from flowing?

Is the center of a circle the safest?
Or could it be where I am trapped in the webs of your darkness?
Dinosaurs have a language of their own:
Rawr- "I love you."

*I wish I could be a dinosaur.
My mood changes,
like a light switch.

One minute I'm bright,
the next I'm dark.

One minute I'm dim,
the next I'm blinding.

One minute I'm blind,
the next I cut through the lies.

One minute I'm clear,
the next I'm fog.

One minute I'm colorful,
the next I'm monotone.

Catch me when I'm on,
because when I'm off I'm gone.
