Wash away these feelings
Drown me in pleasure
Let me feel alive
In haze I see truth
I feel protected
No pain in my chest
Know your worth
Even when they walk away
Sweet child
Sing precious melodies
Cry into your pain
Dance into conscious
Days on the playground
Nights reading fairytales,
Feeling like queen of the mound
Until I hit the ground
Suddenly my fails
Surround with no avail.
Fear of life overcomes me.
How one looks back
At the clouded idea of what has happened
Defines how the future will unfold
Pain
That used to be scraped knees
Or a break up with the one you thought was "the one"
Eyes like a pond,
A portal to my mind,
A flickering light,
Coruscating in the bleak,
Monotonous
Essence of my imagination,
All color fading away,
Yet a sparkle,
They say after graduation, adulthood hits you, But I still yet feel the same, Even when I threw my cap in blue, Also when they called my name, It wasn't until my dad found out about my relationship, And I was put to shame, I lost their respect, I

I truly did not understand this part
Nor did I want to play the part
I was overwheelmed with feelings
That would leave me needing
I need reasurance on how I looked
I did not understand how I looked
I'm nervous
I'm anxious
I'm a panicked soul
Oh if only peace would find these shaking pains
Pulsing the coldness through my veins
It's late and I lie awake just thinking.
Thinking about everything around me.
Thinking about the choices I have made.
Choices I'm more than just happy with.
What does it mean to grow up?How do you define growning up?Young minded, blind even, eyes open to every possibility.Curious, ignorant, maybe even a little naive.
"I was lost
and now I'm found"
Those were the words I grew up around
church people, homophobic people, lonely people
until I moved here freshman year I was in the dark
I met this girl with these baby blues
I can't stop thinking about you
Now don't go and flatter yourself
I don't miss you
I don't miss what we "had"
I don't miss it at all
It’s easy riding a bike they say
The problem is
I don’t know how to ride a bike
Does that mean everything for me
Is just as hard as
Riding a bike?
I’m 17
Training wheels?
I'm the one they call fear
You can find me in the corners of your heart
I'm the one that seeks your tear
You will never get me out of your thought
I'm the hands that pull you back
10 years old is for cars
for tire swings, spelling bees, and candybars
10 years old is not for hospital lobbies
not for scans of imperfect bodies
you’re different, but that’s fine, they said
Alone in life she rowed Upon the lonely waters of life Her spirit was sinking low And she wouldn't stop causing strife She was still there in physical form But her dreams lay deep in the river Broken by a bottle of identity torn And an irreparabl
Your heart aches, your knees shake
You're left with pure fear
fear of what could make or break
that unforeseen year
Yet many often say
truth sets you free
but even though you pray
It's funny how we all perceive ourselves
It's barely accurate and sometimes we deceive ourselves.
How do you see yourself?
You are not kind,
You did not care.
You said you loved me,
That was not fair.
I gave you my heart,
It had room to spare.
Fear isn't just a thought
Fear is a feeling
Fear is a manipulating fraught
But with hard work comes healing
Don't put your dreams on hold
Because of this so called fear that you've been told
Anxiety here
in the school of my home town.
People are staring.
sweat is dripping down my face.
I cannot speak now.
What do I do to overcome?
I pick up my brush.
I paint the world with my brush.
I take my heart
and stick it on my sleeve
With my mind opened to start,
I open my eyes and see
That whenever they are jealous,
and call me names,
my heart is what matters
I wont play these games.
A bit of a selfish binge on this one as well. I am starting to become very dissociated with the human race.
Nothing i want
Everything is chosen
This is the life i have
Must obey and follow
Try something different no never
Not allowed
