Grasping Bubbles
I am walking on this ocean floor bubbles floating to the top
One after one getting to the surface, and pop
I'm weighted down to the bottom kicking up mud
My ex took me here and left, this should be fun
Grabbing gasping for air bit still nothing
Last of my bubbles rising and popping
Drowning, still I walking alone
far from shore my ankle chained to stone
I have more baggage then a baggage claim
sometimes it's hard I feel so ashamed
My heart beat is fast as my frail body swallows water like a mop

Reflecting
Looking at a reflection is like remembering memories and wondering if the memories you remember are real.
I have gaps in my memory like gaps in my teeth but my mind feeds lies to me to fill these emptie gaps
One time I was remembering all the good times of my childhood
But remembering that I did not have one I'm reflecting in this mirror as it reflects a image of me and wondering if this is the me that everyone sees
My mind is like a ocean and I am a adventure trying to discover the seas of my depression

losing myself
In and out of hospitals
Making a pharmacy out of antidepressants
Trying to suppress the thoughts that are ravaging my mind still feel like a peasant
I take theses pills trying to make me okay
But I waste away as my body decays
I'm not alright I'm not okay that is just how I feel
I can't help if that's the phrase that seems the most real today
Am I fucked for thinking I'm nothing or is that just the antidepressants talking. Making me feel fine
When the knife is so close and stalking
A life full of...

Progress
I'm pondering in these ponds as they reflect a image that is me
Or what seems to be me
I glimpse up at the stars because I know they absorb the sunlight so they can shine bright
I dream of dreams so I don't have to dream about something that I am not
I don't want to live in a fairy tail but a fairy tail ending is what I wish
I can't fish but my mind always gets the biggest catch of negatively to mess with my mood
I want to be a man but I am just a boy thinking I am a man while I still play with toys

Hi moon
Hi,
My moon glistening in the sky
I look at you up so high
the stars make your smile bright
even on the darkest nights you are the light
I reach for the moon
I still can't grasp your beauty
You radiate with brilliant imperfections
That absolutely make you perfect
Even when I get angry and cause a hurricane.
Looking at you makes me... okay
I look up rainclouds cover your face
I blow them away
Not a single cloud in the sky
So your ...

Even when I get angry and cause a hurricane.
Looking at you makes me... okay

I can't do this
Anxiety pounding through my brain making me so confused
I hide behind false walls trying to produce
Fake security
A pit in my stomach while I operate on my heart
Stop and start every flutter
My mind goes straight to the gutter
I mutter when I'm emotional
Because I can't seem to get the words to realise they want to be spoken
My throats dry borderline raspy
And I'm suffocating reaching for air gasping
I try so hard to suppress and tell myself I can get through it
But I had to be honest and say I can't use this pit...

Running
I may not have the wealth
But my heart is full of riches
If you don't mind dealing with all my scars and stitches
(Am I here)
I'll work hard I'll even do the dishes
In the end don't do the ditching
(Left broken)
I clench my chest to see if it still beats
I look at my toes to make sure I still have feet
(Because I am numb)
I slide each foot off the bed to the ground
Hoping it's stable
For I am a stray so finding solid ground sometimes I'm unable

Who I Am Today
My body is less then it was
Trying to shoot up with everything but love
I've tried hard even now, but I knew I'd never be enough
Out of my grasp you are a slippery slope
Learning, testing the strength of my rope
I have climbed mountains till I can't breath
Then fall into dispear buried beneath
Keeping My gates up, my cage up, you have my master key
I was weak, to late to see
That I would never be set free
From your chains that bind me to the sword and the stone but I'm no worthy king
You sing your...

Being Human
I am the sea
I am the storm
I am the essence of disaster
I am the wind
I am a hurricane
I am the design of a master
I am the mountain
I am a eruption
I am the signs before destruction
I am the nature
I am a blade of grass
I am the glue to make this word function
I am the light
I am a ray
I am the hope for justice
I am the dark
I am a shadow
I am the corruption at its finest
I am the storm
I am the essence of disaster
I am the wind
I am a hurricane
I am the design of a master
I am the mountain
I am a eruption
I am the signs before destruction
I am the nature
I am a blade of grass
I am the glue to make this word function
I am the light
I am a ray
I am the hope for justice
I am the dark
I am a shadow
I am the corruption at its finest

im not okay
I'm not okay even though you ask
i try to be positive every day
but still i wake up felling like ass
i cant face all this pain that's in my heart
someone take this pain away
i am empty make this rusty heart start
my brain is insane a few nuts loose
i throw my rope on the tree
put my neck threw an live happily hanging from this noose
people say i need to smile more
how can you when all you do is frown
when you are lost and sore
i take my time to focus on me
but fuck I'm not okay
fuck take this pain...
i try to be positive every day
but still i wake up felling like ass

I Have Lost You and Myself
my whole body is numb,
you are my demon,
you were the only one I ever loved
I have tried to drown you,
I am the drowned,
gone as you are still stuck like glue
these arms of mine wishing only to hold what I have lost,
I hate you,
imagining being behind you my arms wrapped and crossed
I wish it never would of ended,
I'm vanishing,
to heaven we could of ascended
The cold is bitter but I remember the shoulder,
longing for you,
warm emotions frozen in place by my heart a unmoving boulder
...

My Goddess
you were a beautiful rose
but you have the sharpest thorns
blood that you drew
dripping down my puncture wounds
bleeding out you have sucked me dry
not even sand could match my veins
you are the sun that melts ice
brilliant in your beauty but punishing for my eyes
you are the master to my soul
the very keeper of the dead
i am a gluten for approval
but from you i seek it
banished from your grace
vanishing to be replaced
in the muck of corpses
stiff where they lay ...
