Internal Errors
It's as if everything is okay
Like nothing is faulty
Yet the Dr says otherwise
Ever since the nightmares
I feel a dark void consume me
Glistening blood trickles
Screams of pain..
Always awakening in a dark room
Nothing explains why I go so insane
My reactions aren't normal
It's like I woke up and my brain demanded for the brokenness to arise from hell
Being asked how I am
Do you really wanna know?
Or is it merely asking out of habit?
I feel so broken, so error-fulfilled
Everyone sees me as such an...

Car Radio
A Twenty One Pilots song, Car Radio.
I ponder of something great
My lungs will fill and then deflate
They fill with fire
Exhale desire
I know it's dire
My time today
I have these thoughts
So often I ought
To replace that slot
With what I once bought
'Cause somebody stole
My car radio
And now I just sit in silence
Sometimes quiet is violent
I find it hard to hide it
My pride is no longer inside
It's on my sleeve
My skin will scream
Reminding me of
Who I killed inside my dream
I hate...

You Left Too Soon
Every day I face an agonizing battle.
A battle so tormenting,
And invisible to the eye.
I used to look up to you.
I used to envy you.
I love you..
You were the one I would sit with,
sit and have a coffee with.
We used to laugh and bullshit.
I used to smile..
I used to be so confident.
Because you held me up,
you held me up above the waves.
This tidal wave was too high for us both..
You were taken away,
Attacked with a heart attack,
no one was around to save you..
I should of been...

My Life Is A Casket
No one ever cared.
Given up at birth.
Never adopted, home from home..
Lost and abandoned.
Tortured, burned, dropped, forgotten.
Bullied, shamed, disgraced.
Sexually confused.
Unpleasently unattractive.
Can't hold a job,
Now I can't even get a job.
Lost the motivation and inspiration,
Life hurts.
Reality scares me.
Shoved and knocked down..
Everyone wants the me that pretends everything is okay..
Everyone pretends the me that's dying on the inside doesn't exist...
You'll be sorry.. ...

We'll Make It
I'm losing my shine through this world drowning in people.
My true colours are beautiful..
like a rainbow..
I can't remember when I heard you last laughin'
I see your colours shinin' through..
We're afraid,
are colours are different.
It can leave us emotionally scared.
There's a difference between you and me.
I'm discouraged..
It's hard to have courage.
Surrounded by empty people.
I'm afraid ..
to show them my true colours,
'cause they're beautiful,
like a rainbow.
Show me a smile.....

There's Beauty in the Breaking
My throat stiffens up,
overwhelming clench feeling,
my eyes are starting to water up,
"I will not accept your help mom.."
My voice cracked,
I felt a tear roll down my cheek..
My mom looked so hurt..
My grandma looked at me with such agony..
I feel so broken..
I can't seem to be able to take care of myself..
Always failing, always messing up..
Constantly receiving messages on social media from people just silently slicing me open..
The wounds.. there so deep.
Those words, they cut so deep.
So painless.. yet so...

Everlong
Song; Everlong
Cover Artist; The Color Morale
Original by The Foo Fighters
"Hello, I've waited here for you.
Everlong, tonight, I throw myself into and out of the red,"
out of her head she sang.
"Come down, and waste away with me, down with me.
Slow how, you wanted it to be.
I'm over my head,"
out of her head she sang.
And I wonder, when I sing along with you;
"If everything could ever feel this real forever, if anything could ever be this good again. The only thing I'll ever ask of you, you...
