Friends are like gold
But don't sell them
They are hard to find
They have gone though a lot
To become gold
And I treasure them close to my heart
They remind me that I can be loved
They are there when I need them
But because they're gold
I have to be cautious
So I don't ruin them
With my true self.

"You should speak louder."
Have you ever been told these words?
I always try to speak
But no one can hear me.
I am used to it.
Have you ever tried to speak your mind?
Your opinion might not be liked.
That is why I don't speak too much.
Just smile.
It is easier.

We are together but alone
We are from two different worlds
Your is made of paper and ink
Bound together by a cover
Where anything is possible
As long as you make it
Mine is selfish, cruel
Where all dreams can easily shatter
As soon as they were made.
People appear nice
Smiling up at you
But you don't no what they
Think, Feel, Do
If only I can do the impossible
If only I can jump across these pages
And see the world you live in
Where I might be happier
But I can't
So I hold on to the moments that make me
Happy
Without You.

I put decorations on my wall.
To fill up the emptiness in my room.
To cover the blank white walls
And to bring some color into the room.
But all that is not true.
They keep falling.
I put stars on my walls.
And they fall.
I put butterflies on my walls.
But never finish them.
There are no windows,
No sunlight for them to see.
They will wither and die
Like my hope years ago, you see.

You are poison.
You are venom.
You are the villain in my tale.
You are the bully in my life.
You are the nightmare keeping me awake.
You are the monster under my bed.
You are the wolf chasing me in my dreams.
You are all of these things.
And God gave you life and brought you to me.

When I walk I wear a smile
When I talk I wear a smile
When I lie I wear a smile
Saying, “I am ok. Everything is fine. I am happy.”
When I look at you I wear a mask
It is unchanging
It is unbreakable
But it is old
And it is cracking
Into a trillion pieces
How long will this mask last
How long until it breaks
And everyone sees the pitiful girl underneath.

Cry, cry, cry, cry
Crying like a baby
You cry, she cries, he cries
Why
Why can’t I cry
I want to cry
I want to feel human
I want to smile
I want to live
Why
Why can’t I cry
It’s sad, lonely, despair, dark, empty
Cry, cry, I want to cry with you.

My house is my Asylum
Where I hope to be free
Of all the worldly dangers
Living around me.
Now it is too late.
People left the door open.
My house is scary.
I can't say nothing
To those around me.
I have to keep smiling.
I have to stay strong
To carry my asylum with me.

Roses are bleeding
Violets are falling stars
No hope is waiting
behind bars of your own mind
The pictures are moving
Shadows are dancing
The room is spinning
Logic thrown out the window
My hands are made of ice
Monsters are lurking
Brain is melting
No where to run
My sanity be no more

Mirror mirror on the wall
Who is the girl smiling for all
Shattered glass, not smiling for all
Hidden scars, tears streak her face
Mirror mirror on the wall
The truth is
the girl is not smiling at all
