Take Me In
Am I right or is it wrong
To be holding on so long
To a dream in my head
Filled with all the things I dread
Will I break or will I bend
Will I ever comprehend
Why I fall to the ground
Why I scream without a sound
Panic sets into my stomach
Twisting deeper as I plummet
To my hands and to my knees
With a silent plea for release
Am I broken beyond repair
Does anyone even care?
I don’t want to do this anymore
I’m tired of looking for a cure
I need to know
I need to be sure
If I need...
To be holding on so long
To a dream in my head
Filled with all the things I dread
Will I break or will I bend
Will I ever comprehend
Why I fall to the ground
Why I scream without a sound
Panic sets into my stomach
Twisting deeper as I plummet
To my hands and to my knees
With a silent plea for release
Am I broken beyond repair
Does anyone even care?
I don’t want to do this anymore
I’m tired of looking for a cure
I need to know
I need to be sure
If I need...

Skeletons (Song lyrics)
I’ve lost my way, again
Caught between now and then
Grab my journal and my pen
Change the ‘if’ to a ‘when’
Lock myself behind the bathroom door
Like I’ve done a million times before
Can’t keep up the charade
So I hide away cause I’m afraid
You say I’m psychosomatic
Does that mean you think I’m dramatic
Is paranoia symptomatic
Can you hear me through the static
Of the tv and computer screens
And the gloss of the magazines
They’ll tell you I’m a classic case
My thoughts already in their...
Caught between now and then
Grab my journal and my pen
Change the ‘if’ to a ‘when’
Lock myself behind the bathroom door
Like I’ve done a million times before
Can’t keep up the charade
So I hide away cause I’m afraid
You say I’m psychosomatic
Does that mean you think I’m dramatic
Is paranoia symptomatic
Can you hear me through the static
Of the tv and computer screens
And the gloss of the magazines
They’ll tell you I’m a classic case
My thoughts already in their...

Wait
Why don’t my arms move upon command?
Why do my legs need encouragement to stand?
Why do my eyes need a force of will to look about?
Why do my fingers wonder and doubt?
Why does my heart question whether to beat?
Why has my throat given into defeat?
Why does my nose need a reason to take in air?
Why do my feet curl up in fetal despair?
The answer, of course, is simple to find
And lies within the twisted cords of my mind
For when a mind turns against itself and drowns itself in hate
The body can do nothing, but...
Why do my legs need encouragement to stand?
Why do my eyes need a force of will to look about?
Why do my fingers wonder and doubt?
Why does my heart question whether to beat?
Why has my throat given into defeat?
Why does my nose need a reason to take in air?
Why do my feet curl up in fetal despair?
The answer, of course, is simple to find
And lies within the twisted cords of my mind
For when a mind turns against itself and drowns itself in hate
The body can do nothing, but...

The Black Dog
There’s a black dog in the corner of my room
His eyes spelling out my impending doom
I know it’s only time till his teeth sink into my throat
And he devours what I thought was the antidote
His fur fills my mouth
I can’t breathe, I can’t shout
His eyes are filled with hate
I’m sorry, friend, you’re too late
The black dog lies at the end of my bed these days
I try so hard to avoid his burning gaze
And though occasionally he’ll shut his eyes
I’m too afraid to move in case he’ll realize
His claws pin...
His eyes spelling out my impending doom
I know it’s only time till his teeth sink into my throat
And he devours what I thought was the antidote
His fur fills my mouth
I can’t breathe, I can’t shout
His eyes are filled with hate
I’m sorry, friend, you’re too late
The black dog lies at the end of my bed these days
I try so hard to avoid his burning gaze
And though occasionally he’ll shut his eyes
I’m too afraid to move in case he’ll realize
His claws pin...

A Truth
Sometimes the worst parts of ourselves
Are the parts that everyone wants us to reveal
Because everyone wants to feel
That they are not alone
That what they feel is known, and understood
And that amidst this cacophony
Of voices telling us to hide it all away
We stand tall and say
“We are not okay.
We’re not alright.”
And as our words take flight
And grace the ears of those still fighting to hold it all in
We realize that righting a wrong
Is sometimes as simple as admitting to a long held...
Are the parts that everyone wants us to reveal
Because everyone wants to feel
That they are not alone
That what they feel is known, and understood
And that amidst this cacophony
Of voices telling us to hide it all away
We stand tall and say
“We are not okay.
We’re not alright.”
And as our words take flight
And grace the ears of those still fighting to hold it all in
We realize that righting a wrong
Is sometimes as simple as admitting to a long held...
