Be Yourself
Yourself yourself
Everyone tells you to be yourself
'There's no shame in who you are!'
What a bunch of liars they are
They claim that they are so accepting
Then they turn around and tell you that you should be repenting
That you should change who you are
That you aren't good enough for God
He who is sinless may cast the first stone
Yet there are so many stones
In arguments and dissapointed sighs
All because of the one you choose to live your life with
I don't understand all of this pain
I'm so confused, so...

Hand Around My Heart
There's a hand wrapped around my heart
Always there, always waiting
Squeezing, embracing
Suffocating
I scratch and scratch but it just won't go
This pain inside my heart is wrenching
My insides twisting and clenching
It bubbles inside of me, reaching, pulling
No matter how far I go, it will always stay
Doubts and insanity creep in my mind
The blade is calling to me, whispering to me
No! I won't fall victim to your sweet words
At least that's what I want to say
But your words calm the hand around my heart
The hand...
Always there, always waiting
Squeezing, embracing
Suffocating
I scratch and scratch but it just won't go
This pain inside my heart is wrenching
My insides twisting and clenching
It bubbles inside of me, reaching, pulling
No matter how far I go, it will always stay
Doubts and insanity creep in my mind
The blade is calling to me, whispering to me
No! I won't fall victim to your sweet words
At least that's what I want to say
But your words calm the hand around my heart

Red Snow
I want to punch
I want to scream
I want to just yell
‘Please someone help me now!’
But no
I am forced to remain silent
No one will understand my pain
No one can know
That the sun was really red snow
I look happy on the outside
Just what they think
But look inside
And then they’ll split
No one can help me
There’s no use to scream
I want help, I do
But there something inside me
Something that’s sharp, something that stings
My sun turns into snow
As my razor cuts deeper in
My silence digs deeper,...
I want to scream
I want to just yell
‘Please someone help me now!’
But no
I am forced to remain silent
No one will understand my pain
No one can know

Just what they think
But look inside
And then they’ll split
No one can help me
There’s no use to scream

Scream
I know I shouldn’t feel this way
Dark and hopeless and empty
I have my whole life ahead of me
Everything to live for
I don’t have some tragic backstory
Something to confirm my sadness
It just makes me sadder
Knowing people will never understand
I want to cut, I want to starve
Everything inside me tells me no
But it’s hard
I can hold out for so long
Before I start to crumble
Everyone sees me as happy
When they are mistaken
I want to tell someone
I want to ask for help
But the demons
They gag me...

Spiral
You left for so long
I thought you had left for good
But things got bad
And here you are again
I just got to the surface
And you pull me deeper
Preventing me from crying out
My lungs filling with water as I scream
I’m a good swimmer
But I’m tired of waiting
For someone to save me
So I spiral deeper and deeper
My cries becoming less urgent as I sink
Blood fills the water
As I start to relax into this feeling
Of bliss
I thought you had left for good
But things got bad
And here you are again
I just got to the surface
And you pull me deeper
Preventing me from crying out
My lungs filling with water as I scream
I’m a good swimmer
But I’m tired of waiting
For someone to save me
So I spiral deeper and deeper
My cries becoming less urgent as I sink
Blood fills the water
As I start to relax into this feeling
Of bliss

Just one
Just one cut
Just one please
Just one more
And I’ll have peace
One turns to two
Two turns two three
Soon I find
It’s harder to achieve peace
What the harm?
It’s just one cut
I won’t go too deep
No one has to know
Just one please
Just one more
And I’ll have peace
One turns to two
Two turns two three
Soon I find
It’s harder to achieve peace
What the harm?
It’s just one cut
I won’t go too deep
No one has to know

Express Yourself
Expressing yourself
There are so many different things to do
To express yourself
Some of them are good
Some of them aren’t
Some people express themselves with art
They draw pictures
Write stories
Beautiful poetry
Things that will take your breath away
And that’s okay
Some people express themselves with metal and ink
They get piercings
Tattoos
Beautiful pieces of art
But the difference is
That’s viewed as dirty and gross
Unprofessional and obscene
Some people express themselves with pain

Heads or Tails?
Sometimes I want to be noticed
Sometimes I want to be alone
Sometimes I want to be the center of attention
Sometimes I want to be a blur in the crowd
There are times when I am confident of myself
There are times when I question why I’m alive
There are times when I am on top of the world
There are times when I sink into the pits of hell
Why am I happy?
Why am I sad?
Why am I the happy person they think they know?
Why am I actually depressed and alone?
I can throw the blade away
I can cut deeper
I can be happy

Stability
Everyone wants a stable life
Emotions
Relationships
Yourself
When you aren’t stable
Your life starts to fall apart
Never having had a stable relationship
Other than your parents
Causes a problem when you leave home
Because you’re alone
Left to your own devices
And that stability starts to fall apart
Your emotions start to rise and fall
You start to feel lonely
You seek any kind of relief
Anything that will remain stable in your life
Even if that stable thing is a small blade
And watching the blood run

Silence
They say
Silence speaks louder than words
And boy is that true
The laughter that was between us
Has gone silent
We went from nonstop talking
To fleeting glances
I know that I made a comment I shouldn’t have
But does that measure up to what you are doing to me?
I don’t think it does
You already took my love
And crushed it
And then burned it again
By dating someone else
After 2 weeks of breaking up with me
And then you go and do this
Radio silence
I know I was snarky
But my emotions were high
Because I felt...

Listen
Sometimes when I feel down
When my mood turns low
I take my stethoscope
And listen
I hear the pounding of my heart
The gentle ‘lub-dub’ cycle
It calms me
So many people forget about the heart
About the constant ‘lub-dub’ that keeps you alive
It never stops, never wavers
Its only job
Is to keep you breathing
Maybe that’s why
The heart is tied to your emotions
Because for humans
Emotions are what life is all about
We all want to be happy
In love
At peace
But just as important as emotions are

Roses
A rose color can mean many things
Red means romance
Pink for love
Yellow is friendship
And white is pure
Now most people know the basic colors
But what about black?
What does a black rose mean?
Does it mean darkness?
Does it mean bad?
No one ever thinks about the black rose
Each person is a rose color
And the color can shift and change
Some people are white
While some are pink, being forced back to yellow
On the outside, I am a white rose.
Pure
Innocent
Sweet
But on the inside, I’m the black rose....
