More than meets the eye
I might be a bright star in the darkness of night,
but I’m dying while you only see the light.
There’s more to me than meets the eye.
I might be a flower beautiful and sweet,
but that doesn’t mean I’ve never felt defeated.
I might be a mountain of rocks standing tall,
and you might assume I’ve never felt small.
But I’ve seen rock bottom.
I felt it all.
I might be an ocean crashing against the shore,
and you’d think I’ve never drowned before.
But inside me there are predators,
like I’m fighting a...

One love turned into war
You always promised,
that you stand by me.
They say if you love someone to set them free,
but yet your still here,
haunting my memories.
Why won’t you,
please just let me rest my weary heart,
the one that’s still torn apart.
You’re moving on with your life,
while I’m feeling lost inside.
It isn’t fair how things ended,
We went through war and you’re not even winded.
You found someone new to love,
and my head is still spinning.
I’m done with the grief and doubt,
you had it...
that you stand by me.
They say if you love someone to set them free,
but yet your still here,
haunting my memories.
Why won’t you,
please just let me rest my weary heart,
the one that’s still torn apart.
You’re moving on with your life,
while I’m feeling lost inside.
It isn’t fair how things ended,
We went through war and you’re not even winded.
You found someone new to love,
and my head is still spinning.
I’m done with the grief and doubt,
you had it...

We all matter!
I feel peace,
but it’s only for a moment.
In the silence,
everything comes into focus.
All the doubts,
begin to pull me under.
You may look at me and say,
“what’s wrong with her,
I wonder?
She looks just fine.”
But there is so much more to people on the inside.
We face demons no video game could ever duplicate.
We fight battles that never have an end date.
We feel things some people can’t reciprocate.
We are more than just skin and bones.
Some of us...
but it’s only for a moment.
In the silence,
everything comes into focus.
All the doubts,
begin to pull me under.

Dead end
Im hanging on by a thread,
feeling like it would stop the hurt if I were dead.
Laying in my bed,
waking up with dread.
Same demons,
putting voices inside of my head.
Just like momma said,
she can’t be your friend.
Stuck at a dead end,
it’s a lose lose;
I can’t win.
feeling like it would stop the hurt if I were dead.
Laying in my bed,
waking up with dread.
Same demons,
putting voices inside of my head.
Just like momma said,
she can’t be your friend.
Stuck at a dead end,
it’s a lose lose;
I can’t win.

Alive but not living, yet.
A lifeless body of someone I loved laid down to rest.
They said to move on,
at least try your best.
But they forgot to mention,
they had rules for letting go.
If you’re sad,
don’t let it show.
If you’re mad,
just let it go.
Simple enough, isn’t that right?
But it doesn’t help me sleep at night.
If I’m hurting I shouldn’t have to fight it.
Denying it,
isn’t a solution.
It’s like filling my body with pollution.
And I was drowning,
right in front...

God is the only one to judge
Voices in my head,
Say that I’m better off dead.
But I’m too scared to die.
I don’t want to say goodbye.
I just dont want to hurt.
Anymore.
I want to be seen by the people I love.
I want to be enough.
But I’m not.
Not for them.
I want to take this painful experience and allow it to create something beautiful.
I know in my heart that my worth is provable.
But not for them.
For me.
I know I can be a better version of myself.
Life...

A longing to be loved
Mom is beautiful.
And dad is strong.
I know that’s where I get it from.
But, I don’t want to be them.
Wearing scars on my wrist like break crumbs.
They never even noticed them.
Refused to acknowledge that I was broken.
Always happy is what they’re hoping for.
But people are made for more.
I don’t wanna loose them.
But they don’t want me when I’m numb.
They don’t love the person that I’ve become.
They’re apart of me, whether they like it or not.
Who I am was developed by what I was taught.

Thank them for the love and forgive them for the trauma
I’m always coming to the rescue.
Fighting through my pain just to save you.
But in the end who saves the hero?
Your battles are won and mine are zero.
So when the world is quiet and you’re sound asleep.
I’m trying to find room for all these secrets I keep.
I’m in therapy.
My whole family,
Says that I need to be.
But they never check in on me!
So what Is the point in caring so much,
When end the end I’m never enough.
Even for the ones who raised me.
I guess thats the way it was destined...

Punished for your blindness
I’m an emotional person,
I wish I felt like I had a purpose here.
There’s always something going on with me,
Physically or mentally.
Whats wrong with me?
What is the point in preparing for war,
If I never receive what I’ve been fighting for?
I’ve always believed happiness is worth chasing,
But I’m starting to feel that I need replacing.
I’m so tired, but I’ve been trying my best.
I wish the world would stop so I could rest.
I’ve spent my life always spreading kindness,
I’ve been punished...
I wish I felt like I had a purpose here.

You are an overcomer
When fear creeps up and panic sets in.
Remember to find the strength within.
I know you feel like you can’t breathe.
I know you’re afraid you might not see,
the brighter side.
I know that you are terrified.
But fear needs to be set free,
Not in a permanent place inside of your mind.
I understand that the world gets dark.
Just remember to listen to your heart.
Fear comes from your mind,
It’s a way for you to know wrong from right.
But you have the knowledge and strength to overcome.
You...

He thinks he has everybody fooled
Hey darling you’re pretty cute.” He says with his smooth southern charm.
“He’s sweet, what is the harm?” They say with confusion on their faces.
“I’m glad you had that experience with him.” Is all I said as my heart races.
When backs are turned and ears are far, he tries his best to tear me apart.
Just knowing he is in the same building sends shivers down my spine and my anxiety is off the charts.
“He’s a good man!” They say urging me to give him a chance.
What they don’t know is, this would be the 3rd time and I refuse to...

The Ink was spilt
I’ve missed writing.
I miss the way the words flow from my mind into the ink on the page.
Some days I feel like I’m just another actor on this stage.
The stage that we call life.
Some of us were taught to be kind,
others were raised to carry a knife.
As if they’re sending us into battle.
Kindness is a nice gift but it doesn’t protect me from harm.
What do I do when someone is grabs my arm?
Say please let go?
Sometimes I feel like I can’t stand on my own.
He’s tall and bulky.
Look at me.
I’m...
