Her
Watching form a distance
I see her failing.
She can't do this
won't do that.
She's shutting down.
Nobody notices
as the grades drop
and apathy rises
things that used to matter
aren't that important to her anymore.
She won't try anymore.
She thinks life is not worth living anymore.
She sits, she stares, she sleeps.
Writes a few lines, does a few papers.
Sometimes she bothers to act her part,
but more often she stumbles around in a woken sleep.
I watch her fail.
I watch her die.
She watches me,
with empty eyes.
I see her failing.
She can't do this
won't do that.
She's shutting down.
Nobody notices
as the grades drop
and apathy rises
things that used to matter
aren't that important to her anymore.
She won't try anymore.
She thinks life is not worth living anymore.
She sits, she stares, she sleeps.
Writes a few lines, does a few papers.
Sometimes she bothers to act her part,
but more often she stumbles around in a woken sleep.
I watch her fail.
I watch her die.
She watches me,
with empty eyes.

The Rain
I was born from the rain.
Every shower tries to take me back,
Luring me closer,
with their hypnotic dance,
on my window pane.
Whispering their wretched nothings
into my ear
your life means nothing,
just do it
end it now
do it
Drip
do it
Drip
Every shower tries to take me back.
I was born from their tears.
Every shower tries to take me back,
Luring me closer,
with their hypnotic dance,
on my window pane.
Whispering their wretched nothings
into my ear
your life means nothing,
just do it
end it now
do it
Drip
do it
Drip
Every shower tries to take me back.
I was born from their tears.

Payment
What did I do?
Why are people so cruel?
I didn't ask for high expectations,.
I didn't ask
for painful critism.
Am I paying off an unknown debt?
Do I deserve this?
What have I been working for in the past?
What am I repaying?
I didn't ask
people to hit me.
I didn't ask
for help.
I do my best to face everyday,
I try to be what everyones expects of me.
What everyone wnts.
Why, then, do they hurt me?
Why am I such a dissapointment?
People laugh at me
I shake it off.
People judge me...

Shhhh
All my life
people have told me
to be quiet
shut up
shush.
And now all I can do
When I have something to say
is
stay silent
be quiet
hushed.

Elegy
In this vast emptyness
I feel suffocated.
Shadows lay like brick walls on my shoulders,
fear slows me, crushing me with its violent waves.
Agoraphobia is a curse.
I roam the deserted building,
searching for someone
who no longer walks thes paths.
Listening to the haunting footsteps,
echoing off the walls.
Whispering a name
to the vacant ceiling far above.
I hear the demons.
They are always out to get me.
They'll never search in here.
I see what must be a mirage
my overworked mind has conjured his being
across...

Alter Egos
Call me bad because I am.
I've made the leap from good girl, to total rebel, without
taking a single step.
All it took was a look in the right direction, and I
was pulled.
Into a world of lust, love, and longing.
in a world where school, sports, or social status, mean nothing,
and deception rules.
If you can lie, you can prosper.
It's a world of two.
Me and him
The outlaws and the law.
Sneaking away, hiding out,
Making out.
Never enough time
never close enough
nothing's ever enough.
We steal more time, to fill the...

Shush
Forget it.
Today I'm not going
to try
to convince you
that you are important.
You know, you should know,
you are to me.
No matter what anyone else
says.
I'm not goung to try to tell you
again.
I get it, I'll shush.
I'll try to remind you with silence.

Bruised Sky
Screw blue skies
I want bruised skies
like the sky
just got socked in the face
Purplish black
Greenish violet
Screw perfect dandy blue skies
I want hardcore purple bruised skies
I want rain
like the sky
is a crying
black eye
I want thunder like it's screaming.
I want lightning
like the sky is fist fighting.
I don't want
soft, fluffy clouds
pretty, bright sun
or that preppy blue
I want the sky
Bruised
I want bruised skies
like the sky
just got socked in the face
Purplish black
Greenish violet
Screw perfect dandy blue skies
I want hardcore purple bruised skies
I want rain
like the sky
is a crying
black eye
I want thunder like it's screaming.
I want lightning
like the sky is fist fighting.
I don't want

pretty, bright sun
or that preppy blue
I want the sky

My Angel
He saved me from the darkness
i was desending into,
stops me from doing the things
I know I shouldn't do,
He's my glimmer of hope
in a chaotic black oblivion
he pulled me from my grave
so that I could live again
He's my sun at midnight,
my second still in time,
my maze of endless happiness,
my victemless crime.
He's my heaven on Earth,
my savior from hell
he is my one and only
he is my angel.
