"Downer"

People think I'm a downer. How can I not be, when I don't know joy?

Hope (10w)

I hope that one day,
I would be myself,
Again.

There's this feeling,
That I'm happy,
But I'm not,
That my mind is a healthy place,
But it's not,
That I am good enough,
But I'm not,
That I'm still myself,
But I'm not.
There's this feeling,
And it's eating me up.

Semicolon

Let's

Let’s make a boat out of the moon,
Braid these stars into our hair,
Sail this endless galaxy till the end of time,
Breathe in every little fragment of this entirety,
Let’s get lost in this universe.

Let's get lost together.

Tired

I'm tired.
Tired of everything.
I just want to sleep,
And never wake up again.

No, I'm not lazy,
I'm not running away from life.
I'm just tired of the world and myself,
And too tired to change anything.

Smile.

Smile at a stranger
Make them think why

Make their day
Stop them from doing something terrible

One smile
It's all it takes
To change a life.

Something simple and short.

Stuck.

Im stuck
Inside my head

There doesn't seem to be a way
For me to get out

I'm scared
And lonely

Stuck with my demons
It's my nightmare come to life

I can't see
Or think

My words are stuck
I can't make a sound

My cries
They're held within me

I'm stuck and afraid
For ever and always.

I wish I was just like everybody else sometimes. I hate being stuck.

Stranger me

Everytime I look at my own picture
It feel like I'm looking at a stranger

It takes me a moment
To realise that's me

I've changed
In ways I don't know

I'm not my old self
I'm a stranger to myself

I'm a stranger
Who I'll never get used to
