pretend to be a different you
the one that others want to view
pretend and lie
but never sigh
because the better you
is the one they'd choose

do not complain or say a word
because your voice will not be heard
you'll want to cry
but you must try
to hold it in
and show a grin

z.m.

you are the light in which the world needs
a kind soul who refuses to see anything
other than the beauty of others
and revel in the bright aura of them

z.m.

I think to hard...
I overthink

                  


                                 ­                                                  See, I'm doing it again.

                                                                                                                    z.m.

wash away my sin
in a blanket of cold water
and submerge me in a river
to be made whole again

renew my broken thoughts
and show me the worth of
the world
I long to leave

z.m.

lead me to
my first home

back to where
things were simple

and I made the
best memories.

how I wish to find myself
enwrapped in the euphonious
resonance of a symphony
to allow the sweet sounds to encompass
their harmonies around my hand
and guide it into yours

z.m.

a pill I've waited  
an eternity for
has finally cleared my head

in this body
discoveries await where  
happiness can now be spread

I sit and wonder
what life would've been
the life I could've led

if I wasn't sad
felt worthless and mad
or wanting to end up dead.

z.m.
