The city was filled with fog and murk
All I could see was white
All I could feel was a sharp winter breeze
But my palms perspired and my fingers trembled and my heart raced
And I paced
Little bird in the cage, why are you sad?
Your cage is safe, your cage is sturdy.
There isn't anything to worry.
Little bird in the cage, what are you doing?
There's no need to fuss, stay inside
SOMETIMES I SHRINK
Back from it all. There are a million bows to tie.
Why should I be studious? Maybe if I were a kid
again I wouldn’t be spoiled rotten.
I never claimed to understand potential.
My mama told me that I belong in the world.
Now I never took her word for it,
For I never met a man who belonged.
Not really.
Not truly.
We are all struggling to get somewhere.
I try so hard but I just can't sleep
My soul won't rest so instead I just weep
I feel like I'm being crushed, like gravity is too strong
The only thing I dont feel is that I belong
Growing and growing I was taught to sit still and stay quiet.
So I sat still and stayed quiet.
Then there was a point when telling a secret would hurt someone in the family.
So I sat still and stayed quiet.
I wanna belong here
I just want to fit in
I wanna be
All the things
That I’m supposed to be
But I just can’t seem to figure out
Don’t let me disappear
Walk a day in my skin
Lure them in with your evanescent gleam.
Bind them into your eternal paradise.
Throw their hypnotic nothings to the wind.
Craft velvet wings from jewels.
Your primrose shimmer must never dull.
I'm that weird girl that sits in the back
The quieter you are the less attention you attract
Though I'm not the only one who would rather it dark
At times I find those with that same unique heart
As the winter slowly approaches
The leaves keep falling
and winds steadily blow
a new change
not of a cold and frozen time
but a time of warmth
a season of dreams
discovering fantasies
Where have you been?Where have you gone?I sing sad melodiesof how i was wrongand i can't even dreamwithout you in my armsso its best to believewe just dont belong
If the world is listening, Let them hear this; My life is not perfect, My life is not bliss. I'm happy almost never. The sadness always stays. I'm always the one who's wrong. I'm always the one who's to blame.
To the lakes,
Oceans,
Waterfalls,
Oceans you fill with purity
The fish and sea creatures swim
You give us all you can give
To the waves that move on your surface
Down riverbanks you flow
I want to feel the ocean breeze,
I want to feel the light of the moon
As we lie together on the sand,
I want to hear nature's melodious tune.
Above the river's bank
rising slowly in the sky,
casting a reflection upon the water.
Saving the world from total darkness
the moon finds its place among the stars
