Poet Introduction
eh
Flash a Happy Look
All the time i hear
What a pretty smile you have!
It's fake, my dear
It covers up something bad
Covers everything in fact
A painted smile on my face
You have to know how to act
To survive in this place
Flash a happy look
Make other poeoples days
It's all straight form the book
And i'm the one who pays
I go home and hide
All night i'm awake
My body aches to cry
But i refuse to break
Keep sending compliments my way
And i'll continue to smile
This pain i cover will take me away
I hope to god i'm dead in awhile
What a pretty smile you have!
It's fake, my dear
It covers up something bad
Covers everything in fact
A painted smile on my face
You have to know how to act
To survive in this place
Flash a happy look
Make other poeoples days
It's all straight form the book
And i'm the one who pays
I go home and hide
All night i'm awake
My body aches to cry
But i refuse to break
Keep sending compliments my way
And i'll continue to smile
This pain i cover will take me away
I hope to god i'm dead in awhile

No Dream
The biting wind cuts through my veins
My cries are lost in the tormenting rain
Thunder is rolling deep in my soul
On the edge of a cliff, ready to let go
Lightning cackles and demons scream
An explosion of memories, this is no dream
The clouds rip open, revealing my sins
As the light in my eyes rapidly dims
Tornadoes are tearing apart my limbs
Hurricanes mixing with my blood to begin
A deadly concoction that hardens my heart
This nightmare ending less quickly than it starts
My cries are lost in the tormenting rain
Thunder is rolling deep in my soul
On the edge of a cliff, ready to let go
Lightning cackles and demons scream
An explosion of memories, this is no dream
The clouds rip open, revealing my sins
As the light in my eyes rapidly dims
Tornadoes are tearing apart my limbs
Hurricanes mixing with my blood to begin
A deadly concoction that hardens my heart
This nightmare ending less quickly than it starts

Sing me a Lullaby
Sing me a lullaby
Before i cut too deep
Sing me a lullaby
So i can fall asleep
I appreciate the love you gave
I just could not recieve
I'll blow you a kiss from my grave
Forever my soul you'll keep
Isn't it possible
That i can not be saved?
Isn't it possible
That this was just my fate
A sick game, i agree
I'm done being a piece
This board wasn't meant for me
Now i am finally free
Sing me a lullaby
As i cut too deep
Sing me a lullaby
As i enjoy my endless sleep
Before i cut too deep
Sing me a lullaby
So i can fall asleep
I appreciate the love you gave
I just could not recieve
I'll blow you a kiss from my grave
Forever my soul you'll keep
Isn't it possible
That i can not be saved?
Isn't it possible
That this was just my fate
A sick game, i agree
I'm done being a piece
This board wasn't meant for me
Now i am finally free
Sing me a lullaby
As i cut too deep
Sing me a lullaby
As i enjoy my endless sleep

No Remorse
You're funny, my dear
You call this life
My school thrives on fear
My house is full of strife
My parents are divorced
I'm a bastard by trade
There is no remorse
My pain is put on a blade
High expectations
I can't make the deadline
Low presentations
Now my life is on the line
My eyes overflow
You scowl at my tears
You hit me, then crow
One too many beers
Your fists raining down
I'm lost in the onslaught
In darkness i drown
You grab a knife with no second thought
Your eyes full of rage...

Behind Closed Eyes
I close my eyes and all I see
Is the memory of you walking away from me
I open my eyes and all I feel
Is the pain you inflicted, my hurt revealed
I miss the light in your eyes
And the joy in your smile
I miss the love in your touch
The comfort of your hugs
You left me here bleeding
A sin life keeps repeating
It's like a game fate plays
Build me up hIgh and toss me in the waves
Flailing in waters way over my head
My eyes reflecting whats been left unsaid
Lungs filling with my salty tears
I'm letting go, after all these...

A sin life keeps repeating
It's like a game fate plays

Flailing in waters way over my head
My eyes reflecting whats been left unsaid
Lungs filling with my salty tears

I miss you
Those days, you saw me and a smile hit your face
These days, you see me and you turn the other way
All I have to say?
I miss you
These days, you see me and you turn the other way
All I have to say?
I miss you

True Love
Roses are red
Violets are blue
You hate me
And I still love you
Violets are blue
You hate me
And I still love you

No Title
I look in the mirror
And all i see
Is a girl full of fear
And hatred for reality
I see the eyes of a stranger
I knew this girl
Her life was happy and lacking danger
She believed in the world
I look at my scarred heart
I struggle to smile
Myself and i are miles apart
What a poisonous vial
I look back to those eyes
And a fire starts burning
What a jarring surprise
Something is stirring
There's s
There's something dangerous inside
A feeling i've longed for
A passion for life?
I brave the...

Confusion
Sometimes i feel like i don't really belong here
In this world of normality
I've always been the outcast
The one who messes up a group
Being accepted
The concept scares me
I don't accept myself
Why would anyone else?
Please, just throw me aside
Into the world i've grown up in
Please, i don't want to reside
In this place where my confidence dims
I feel more comfortable in isolation
Nobpdy can hate me or love me
I'm truly my own person
I'm the type i hate
Please don't say you like me
In this world of normality
I've always been the outcast
The one who messes up a group
Being accepted
The concept scares me
I don't accept myself
Why would anyone else?
Please, just throw me aside
Into the world i've grown up in
Please, i don't want to reside
In this place where my confidence dims
I feel more comfortable in isolation
Nobpdy can hate me or love me
I'm truly my own person
I'm the type i hate
Please don't say you like me

Inside and Out
My body is tired
My mind is sick
My heart is broken
My spirit is brooding
My face is smiling
My eyes are shining
My insides are churning
My confidence is burning
My hands are working
My words are encouraging
My conscience is dying
My hope is fading
My arms are embracing
My ears are listening
My questions are many
My answers, confusing
My voice is caring
My knowledge, i'm sharing
My laugh is empty
My life is messy
Me outside is bright
Me inside is dying
My mind is sick
My heart is broken
My spirit is brooding
My face is smiling
My eyes are shining
My insides are churning
My confidence is burning
My hands are working
My words are encouraging
My conscience is dying
My hope is fading
My arms are embracing
My ears are listening
My questions are many
My answers, confusing
My voice is caring
My knowledge, i'm sharing
My laugh is empty
My life is messy
Me outside is bright
Me inside is dying

It's short.. but hey (:
Laying here abandoned
You left this cold and empty soul
To fend alone
In the darkest of unkowns
I know you say you just aren't ready
But can you try to speed it up?
I'm afraid that if you don't
Some less broken girl will snatch you up
You left this cold and empty soul
To fend alone
In the darkest of unkowns
I know you say you just aren't ready
But can you try to speed it up?
I'm afraid that if you don't
Some less broken girl will snatch you up

Let Me Go
Maybe it's all a lie
Maybe i've been misled
All these questions
They drive me insane
How can i love in a community filled with hate?
How can i be authentic where pretending dominates?
How can i praise with a throat raw from screaming?
How can i sleep when it's nightmares i'm dreaming?
How can i lead when i've been left behind?
How can i help when i can't do anything right?
How can i care if i've been betrayed?
And how can i smile when my joy has decayed?
All of these questions, i just want out!
I invested my life and now i'm in...
Maybe i've been misled

How can i sleep when it's nightmares i'm dreaming?
How can i lead when i've been left behind?
How can i help when i can't do anything right?
How can i care if i've been betrayed?
And how can i smile when my joy has decayed?
