Beginner
The Bitter, Lazy, Quitter
What’s a word for when you're crying
And the tears burn like acid on your skin,
Then the mirror shows a stranger's eyes,
And every breath feels like giving in.
When getting up feels impossible,
And staying in bed is the only escape,
When you try to sleep each night
But dark thoughts steal any chance you take.
When the days blend into each other,
And the weight of emptiness pulls you down,
When eating feels like a chore you can’t bear,
And hunger is swallowed by an aching frown.
When your...
And the tears burn like acid on your skin,

When getting up feels impossible,
And staying in bed is the only escape,
When you try to sleep each night
But dark thoughts steal any chance you take.
When the days blend into each other,
And the weight of emptiness pulls you down,
When eating feels like a chore you can’t bear,
And hunger is swallowed by an aching frown.

Beneath the Shroud of Sorrow's Veil
In the depths of sorrow's endless sea,
Where the waves of despair crash over me,
I'm lost in a world so cold and gray,
Where hope has long since slipped away.
The weight of sadness bears down like lead,
A heavy cloud that engulfs my head,
I search for solace, but it's hard to find,
In this bleak landscape of a troubled mind.
The world outside is a distant dream,
As I'm trapped in this relentless stream,
Of tears that fall like rain from a stormy sky,
And all I can do is wonder why.
The days are long, the nights are...
Where the waves of despair crash over me,
I'm lost in a world so cold and gray,
Where hope has long since slipped away.
The weight of sadness bears down like lead,
A heavy cloud that engulfs my head,
I search for solace, but it's hard to find,
In this bleak landscape of a troubled mind.
The world outside is a distant dream,
As I'm trapped in this relentless stream,
Of tears that fall like rain from a stormy sky,
And all I can do is wonder why.
The days are long, the nights are...

summary of everyday
I woke up
2 hours late for school
2 hours too early for my biophilia
and just in time to disappoint my mom
i sit in bed
with dreadful covers over me
hating the loop of life
hating the rewind of it all
i take my time to get ready
praying i wont make it in time
hoping i won’t have to sit in my miserable desk
with my painful pencil
and my pathetic paper
i sit at lunch alone
counting the minutes til my next class
counting the hours left of school
counting the days left in this year
counting...

Before and after you
I want to bloom with the flowers
Or flow with the air
Get lost in time for hours
And live with no care
I want to burn with the sun
And shine like the moon
Live with beings as one
And maybe,
Just maybe you’ll come back too
But flowers don’t bloom
Not in this weather that I’m under
And it seems that you’ve gotten lost with others
I don’t feel the air flowing through my lungs
I feel the hatred I’ve inhaled
Hatred you spout in your lying tongue
But you could care less if my breathing is ailed...
Or flow with the air
Get lost in time for hours
And live with no care
I want to burn with the sun
And shine like the moon
Live with beings as one
And maybe,
Just maybe you’ll come back too
But flowers don’t bloom
Not in this weather that I’m under
And it seems that you’ve gotten lost with others
I don’t feel the air flowing through my lungs
I feel the hatred I’ve inhaled
Hatred you spout in your lying tongue
But you could care less if my breathing is ailed...

The bitter, lazy, quitter
You know that feeling when your crying
And your face is red and hot
When showering is dreadful
But bathing in sorrows is not
When getting up is hard
But staying in bed is comfort
When you try to sleep at night
But insomnia comes first
When you don’t brush your teeth
When living takes effort
And just thinking about cleaning your room makes your fucking head hurt
When you can’t feel anything
But you feel everything at once
When isolation is pleasure
And your used to putting fronts
...

Keep my secrets and make me one too
You told me your secrets
And I told you mine
We trusted each other
But your secrets were lies
My fountain of innocence
Your interest in me
You drank from my fountain
I begged you to leave
You stood at the limelight
And gathered a crowd
You opened your mouth
My secrets were loud
And I told you mine
We trusted each other
But your secrets were lies
My fountain of innocence
Your interest in me
You drank from my fountain
I begged you to leave
You stood at the limelight
And gathered a crowd
You opened your mouth
My secrets were loud
