people don't believe when i say i have a superpower,
one that i quite love when i need it but sometimes i hate it when i wish to be noticed,
no one notices me unless i speak to them,
my quiet voice,
a 'sorry' 'excuse me' 'thank you' became a reflex,
like dodging a ball that i so very fear,
i can be invisible rather i wish or not,
its quite a lot,
to explain,
maybe it is a bit lame,
but i'm invisible rather i want to be or not

we were playing with our heartstrings on the stage,
stuck together in our personal cage,
hands that entwined with each other,
nails digging into our hearts,
we can put on a show,
that they don't even know that's going on.

the pain will fade
but the memories will stay

everyday i would sing
rather it be a note or a full song
someday i was going to be a singer
it was my destiny i heard my parents say

however, as i grew older kids start to tease me
they started to realize my voice wasn't following my imagination
i could write a song
but my voice was not fit for it
they said

i slowly stopped singing to others and hid in my room
where i would sing riptide to just me, myself, and i

i remember it clearly
when someone asked me to stop singing
because i sounded so cringey
i tune my voice down
just like i always do

started to get anxiety over singing on a stage
even though i loved it
adored it
i let their words get stuck in ears' cobwebs

everyone has at least one person that did something
they left a mark on you for the good
she told me one thing

"i like your voice because when you allow it, you can sing like a angel but your expression is what amazes me, you seem so happy."

now i'll never stop
because of those words
you can scream at me to stop
however i won't
for my voice is not your's to control but mine to wield
and i'll sing when i please

i can't understand what it means to be lovers anymore,
you left me bewildered,
you said that we were friends being stupid,
instead of being lovers,
we were killers,
killing ourselves,
together

-----

i thought,
i thought i cared for you gently,
treated you like a diamond,
never raised my voice,
i thought i didn't smother you,
but in the end,
i could not control,
the words that escaped your mouth when you said,

                "its over."

-------

lets play strangers,
and be losers together,
but when the day ends,
we'll shall forget everything,
to go back to **** and nerd.

--------

little raven,
why you leavin?
why you leavin your home?
you dropped your phone,
in mid-flight,
leaving behide,
a note and a black feather,
of betrayal.
its late at night. i just want to get some things out of my head. some of these do not relate to me some do.

ba-dump
ba-dum- crack.

    do you hear that?
a lover's scream
do you see the way he seems?
a heart that has been broken but still lingers,
   aching for gentle hands to hold it,
to care for it,
yet I'm afraid,
      when a heart breaks,
                you'll have to go through utter hell,
until someone bothers to love you,
to heal you.
