Cage
Every scar, every freckle, and every flaw
Trying to find my way out of the depths of my insecurities, but I can only scratch and claw
There's no escape because my mind likes to keep itself in this cage
This cage filled with pent up rage.
I don't know how much more I can take.
Maybe one day these steel bars can just keep bending until they finally break
Or at least I can just warp them out of place..
Then I can just leave without a trace
Erase every mistake I've ever made..
But why is it so difficult to escape such an empty place?
To leave...

Or at least I can just warp them out of place..

Insomnia
My body is limp,
my body is numb.
My brain is asleep,
my brain is dumb.
I'm wide awake,
I can't sleep.
My eyes are heavy,
I'm falling asleep.
Now I'm drifting off,
My sight blurs.
My body laying lifelessly,
I hear birds..
It was another sleepless night,
An unbeatable fight...
Insomnia......
my body is numb.
My brain is asleep,
my brain is dumb.
I'm wide awake,
I can't sleep.
My eyes are heavy,
I'm falling asleep.
Now I'm drifting off,
My sight blurs.
My body laying lifelessly,
I hear birds..
It was another sleepless night,
An unbeatable fight...
Insomnia......

Dragged Your Feet
You drift around place to place as if the wind drags you along
How long has it been since you've been home?
It's been days, months, and almost years since you've been gone.
Why do you make others comfortable and leave?
I know you did it to more people than just me
Does it make you feel powerful knowing you can be someone's only relief?
To be a remedy to the feelings of loneliness and depression like a pill to a sickness.
But darling, just like that pill, you leave a bitter aftertaste, and you only help momentarily.
But no matter how temporary and...

My Mask
When everything's okay, I just want you to tell me that you love me.
I want to avoid how we're changing so rapidly.
Speeding through life like my racing heart beat, or branching out over time like an oak tree.
Will our limps touch again along the journey?
Just tell me was this a wild dream?
When you said you might be in love with me.
Or were you talking in your sleep?
The way your big, brown eyes stared so deep.
It was as if you saw the cracks in my mask, every little split and seam.
Your love caused a war I couldn't beat.
A GRUESOME WAR...

Dear Reflection
Dear reflection,
Who are you?
Why won't you look the way I want you to?
Dear reflection,
Staring right back
Why do I always feel fat?
Dear reflection,
I lost weight
Why the fuck do you appear the same?
Dear reflection,
Ribs I see
As the fat under my skin has ceased.
D...Dear refl..ection,
Brittle and weak...
This will be the last time we'll ever meet...

Vulture!
You were in my dreams again
Stuck in there like a scar in my head
A scar that just refuses to heal or fade
Unlike you that scar is here to stay
The bleeding doesn't stop
And your words, like a knife, split my flesh; it's chopping. CHOP, CHOP CHOP!
Chopping and devouring my feelings and personality
Taking and using every little part of me that you pleased.
You VULTURE, how dare you take from me!
Leaving me with the emptiness of darkness as the only thing I can see..
Give me back my heart, so I can again feel alive..
I need that...
Stuck in there like a scar in my head

Chopping and devouring my feelings and personality

My Sea of Despair
There's an anchor inside me that leaves a heaviness in my chest.
There's also something keeping me above the water, almost like a life vest.
I've fallen off my ship and I don't know where I'm going.
The waves of my sea of despair are pulling.
I need a savior or at least a life raft!
Oh, I'm stupid... Asking a question so daft.
Why do I need help now? I've stayed afloat for so long..
I can't help but feel this is where I belong..
Maybe I'll just accept my fate in this water and, like a rock thrown into this water, I'll drop.
My...
