Imposter Syndrome
I just need to vent a minute,
Explain imposter syndrome I exhibit,
Afraid you'll see what I truly am,
An inexperienced, scared, li'l lamb.
I'm sorry to all the people I've hurt,
I've treated you like dirt,
I talked to you, then let you go
Without a word to let you know,
What I'm doing,
How we're doing,
How much I secretly still care,
That I miss you being there,
I've got a blockage to laying bare
My heart, my soul,
It's haunting me, taking it's toll.
I'm driving a freeway with no toll tag,
This is...

The Filament
There was this invisible thread
I know that’s so cliché really
But there it was, only perceivable in the right light
For me it was moonlight
For her it was sunlight
But oh how it shone
So bright everyone could see
Could see us, us together, us happy, us bonded and bound to one another
Us
We felt like it was strong, so strong
Like maybe if we went fishing it could reel in a shark
Not even the shark would see it coming
For me it felt like sturdy concrete
For her it felt like a sailor’s rope
Strong for me, flexible for...

SOMETIMES YOU HAVE TO WALK AWAY
It's a shame that we have to take sometime to see the differences, between what we thought and what we have in someone else. For example sometimes during a relationship we come across a man child or woman child, who has no idea what is maturity as it comes from experiencing different types of relationships. For it is necessary to understand that we have to separate ourselves from the past of our pass relationships and not bring the old with the process of creating a new. For it is the truth about ourselves that sometimes we fear as, we don't see ourselves becoming afraid of opening up our...

Daydreams of Daydreams
She sat there in her golden chair,
Her long, wavy, golden hair,
Draped over a cream and gold, crepe and silk gown,
The loveliest woman in town,
...The loneliest woman in town.
Her square neckline accentuated her necklace of gold,
Her virago sleeves, with patterns of old,
And her wide skirt, draped over delicate, resting legs,
A languishing heart, in life's dregs,
Longing for a better life,
One without strife,
One where she's the wife,
Of an older, faery king,
Where she can be free to dance and sing.
And so she...

Draped over a cream and gold, crepe and silk gown,

And her wide skirt, draped over delicate, resting legs,

Of an older, faery king,
Where she can be free to dance and sing.

Reminiscing Past Life
paint a picture, picture perfect, yea I pitched to well
just like jack did for rose, only time will tell
your assets got me thing about my past life
nearly broke my neck when you had to pass by
you can have my heart share like the last slice,
gave you my heart, we can share it like the last slice
anything you want , ain’t gotta ask twice
I can be your dude, but seems you want a bad guy
cross my tee, dot my eyes, like a poltergeist
it coulda been us, but you were addicted to your past life
obsoleted mine, wonder what, what that’s...

Forest of Soul
I don't want to be a burden to you
Don't wish to be a cloud on your sunny day
I wish I could silence my shadows
For at times they just seem so loud
I'll never be as bright as sun light,
I'll never match the rainbows in the sky
My darkness lingers throughout my soul
Always hiding in the cracks of my mind
Tangling my feet at every step forwards
I'm sorry that I make you sad with my story
I try to hide my tears but so often I fail
Going from rain to hail in one small glimmer
I crumble so often under my own expectation ...
Don't wish to be a cloud on your sunny day

Always hiding in the cracks of my mind
Tangling my feet at every step forwards
I'm sorry that I make you sad with my story
I try to hide my tears but so often I fail
Going from rain to hail in one small glimmer
I crumble so often under my own expectation ...

SHE
She was there
Walking in silent steps
Leaving no trace
She was ever there
In your bed
So you woke up
Alone and listened
But all you heard was quiet
She wasn’t there
With all her fire
Breathing life into your lungs
But she’d be back
She always came back
But did you know that when she left
She left with her thoughts
She never left them on the hook
For you to find
And did you know
She took with her all tears that she’d cry
When you left and left
Her all alone
She was there ...

She always came back

When you left and left

A Lover and the Lack Therof
I saw you out of the corner of my eye
I barely noticed you at first,
My god, you really look different around your friends
I could tell you hadn't seen me yet
Your smile was undeniably bright
(As per usual)
And your laugh sounded gregarious as ever
Always the center of attention
Easy to be cool when you're the only one old enough to buy alcohol here
I happen to linger a bit too long
And suddenly our eyes meet,
You a deer in headlights
My heart nearly exploded right out of my chest
Both of us clearly terrified of the...

Him...
It was him. After all this time. After months of enduring pain. He just shows up. For what? Why? Should I blame him? Blame him for the pain that I have. It was always just the two of us. Us against the world. But then he just casts me aside like I’m nothing, just a waste of space. So why, why is he here? I want to scream and yell at him for everything he’s done. But in truth he hasn’t done anything wrong. It was my fault. Everything that had happened had been my fault. It was all me. I’m the reason he had to do what he did. If I hadn’t done that maybe I wouldn’t be here. I want to go back....
