Me
Not many things matter to me
Why is it so hard to see
I feel like I'm nothing
Everyone I've trusted
Has left me loathing
I keep hoping things will change
But I've finally realized
Thoughts like these make me diranged
Why is it so hard to see
I feel like I'm nothing
Everyone I've trusted
Has left me loathing
I keep hoping things will change
But I've finally realized
Thoughts like these make me diranged

Too Late Now
I know what I did was wrong
And I know I can't fix it
But if I could just sit you down and make you listen
I'd let you know how I feel
Let you know shit for me was real
And I was scared so I ran away
But nothing but you could take the pain away
I fucked up I blew it
Took what we had and threw it
Now its to late for me
I can see your now happy
I won't try to take that away
So I give up today
And I know I can't fix it
But if I could just sit you down and make you listen
I'd let you know how I feel
Let you know shit for me was real
And I was scared so I ran away
But nothing but you could take the pain away
I fucked up I blew it
Took what we had and threw it
Now its to late for me
I can see your now happy
I won't try to take that away
So I give up today

A Flash of Light
Blinding like a flash of light you appeared
You flashed before me in one fleeting moment
You lit up the sky and filled it with brilliance
The air seemed to come alive in your presence
But as quickly as you appeared you vanished
Leaving me alone in the cold and dark once more
You flashed before me in one fleeting moment
You lit up the sky and filled it with brilliance
The air seemed to come alive in your presence
But as quickly as you appeared you vanished
Leaving me alone in the cold and dark once more

Judged
For you I would do
Whatever it took
To be taken seriously
For a second look
Judged like a book
Covers and skimmed
Misunderstood by actions
Not motivation or circumstance
I walk around
Labeled and named
The person you think you know
Isn't the same
My goodness isn't judged
Only the dark
To understand me
You'd have to know me from the start
Even though it's deeply buried
Don't judge me to quick
I still have a heart
Whatever it took
To be taken seriously
For a second look
Judged like a book
Covers and skimmed
Misunderstood by actions
Not motivation or circumstance
I walk around
Labeled and named
The person you think you know
Isn't the same
My goodness isn't judged
Only the dark
To understand me
You'd have to know me from the start
Even though it's deeply buried
Don't judge me to quick
I still have a heart

Mom
I've known you from the start
Even though you left me high and dry
Not even two years old
You give me up to get high
As I grew up it didn't matter
I wanted you in my life
But you rarely show up
Raising expectations high
If the pain was only mine to bear
I could take it all in
But how could you not care
Three daughters, my sisters
Left without a mom to confide in
You left us in a world that's cruel and dark
Don't crawl back again
You left us more than once
You've left your final mark
Even though you left me high and dry
Not even two years old
You give me up to get high
As I grew up it didn't matter
I wanted you in my life
But you rarely show up
Raising expectations high
If the pain was only mine to bear
I could take it all in
But how could you not care
Three daughters, my sisters
Left without a mom to confide in
You left us in a world that's cruel and dark
Don't crawl back again
You left us more than once
You've left your final mark

Alone In the Dark
The world is cold and dark
I hear warmth and laughter in the distance
It feels just within my reach
I reach out to find my long lost warmth
But my fingers slash through the cold dark air
I tilt my head again to find my long lost warmth
Only to be met with the same distant roar
I slash my hands through the air frantically
In a search for my goal of freedom in the darkness
I break out into a panic and towards the sounds
Screaming,Crying,Panicking to find my way out
of my dark cell of solitude. The more I struggled
the farther away it sounded until...
I hear warmth and laughter in the distance
It feels just within my reach
I reach out to find my long lost warmth
But my fingers slash through the cold dark air
I tilt my head again to find my long lost warmth
Only to be met with the same distant roar
I slash my hands through the air frantically
In a search for my goal of freedom in the darkness
I break out into a panic and towards the sounds
Screaming,Crying,Panicking to find my way out
of my dark cell of solitude. The more I struggled
the farther away it sounded until...
