Identity
It sucks sometimes when your are not sure what you want,
Starting to think whether I am dumb,
We are who we think we are,
But what if we don’t know who we are?
I ask who am I ?
I ask Who are you ?
Identity, Identity,
Harsh reality,
I just want the key to heaven,
What have I learn?
Music makes me high
Tonight is the night,
Jayden has two teeth,
Left the rest in room 204,
The world is going to end,
You saved me, please save the world,
Starting to think whether I am dumb,
We are who we think we are,
But what if we don’t know who we are?
I ask who am I ?
I ask Who are you ?
Identity, Identity,
Harsh reality,
I just want the key to heaven,
What have I learn?
Music makes me high
Tonight is the night,
Jayden has two teeth,
Left the rest in room 204,
The world is going to end,
You saved me, please save the world,

Love me as I am (Long)
Have you lived inside your head
for more than a minute or an hour?
Like gold, can you sift your own ideas
about your life from the junk of public opinion;
those who judge you and tell you how to be?
Does the wall across from your pillow
sometimes feel more like a friend
than the people you call friends
and then dissolve behind your blotted tears.
When your search for your public you
requires more than a morning cup of tea
when your mojo creeps away and hides
refuses to yield the words, like rubies in a mountain
On these days...
for more than a minute or an hour?
Like gold, can you sift your own ideas
about your life from the junk of public opinion;
those who judge you and tell you how to be?
Does the wall across from your pillow
sometimes feel more like a friend
than the people you call friends
and then dissolve behind your blotted tears.
When your search for your public you
requires more than a morning cup of tea
when your mojo creeps away and hides
refuses to yield the words, like rubies in a mountain
On these days...

Inside out
Life is so meaningness
Damp and awkward
Effort so senseless
Disappointment like clockwork
I wonder when it was
That I lost my Grit
Why the all thesepieces
That refuse to fit
Is it payback for Deeds
Gone unpunished
Slaughter and Theft
as i dug through the rubbish
Damp and awkward
Effort so senseless
Disappointment like clockwork
I wonder when it was
That I lost my Grit
Why the all thesepieces
That refuse to fit
Is it payback for Deeds
Gone unpunished
Slaughter and Theft
as i dug through the rubbish

empty
I eat too much.
Sometimes I wish that food made me barf so I didn't have to take another bite.
Why do I feel empty inside?
No matter how much I put into my body it never satisfies.
I eat to the point my stomach hurts but I'm not done yet.
At least not until I feel like I need to hurl.
If I don't over eat and fill myself up to the brim until I feel like I can't breathe then I'm not done with my meal.
I eat until I feel so sick that I need to take a break to breathe.
Not an hour later I open my fridge to see what I can consume next...

Stride
How do I become happy with just myself?
Something I ponder all of the time
Sitting watching my life upon the shelf
Day by day nothing changes, what a crime
Eternal, internal struggle and strife
Walking this planet with me alone
It has been this way all of my life
Oddity and rejection are all I've known
Being different from others makes me not worse
They shy from me and put me in fetter
So why feel I shunned only a curse
All knoweth I is I feel not better
So my chin will hold high
Will be bold with honor, fury...

How can I be they
Do I wreck my body to save my mind?
This is a question where the answer is mine
But I don't know the answer and I desperately ask
Is this dysphoria too much of a task
I'm reshaping my body and crushing my tits
For a more perfect imagine for something that fits
So I don't see a stranger when I look in the mirror
But all I see is my deadname and all I hear is she/her
Is cutting my hair and slouching all day
The only things I can do to keep this gender away
I'm hurting my body to the point I can't breathe
But it's still not...

Mistakes
I look beyond my scarred life
I don’t know how I managed to survive
Every choice I made was wrong
I brought this to myself so here I belong
I’m trapped inside past of pain and regret
Remorse for what I’ve done, for all my mistakes
Desperate and searching for forgiveness
Searching for hope and acceptance
All the wrongs I committed
I was numb and so co-dependent
The lies that I’ve spoken so many times
The feelings that I always try to deny
All the pain that haunts me still
And all the shame surrounding me
Is now the past...
I don’t know how I managed to survive
Every choice I made was wrong
I brought this to myself so here I belong
I’m trapped inside past of pain and regret
Remorse for what I’ve done, for all my mistakes
Desperate and searching for forgiveness
Searching for hope and acceptance
All the wrongs I committed
I was numb and so co-dependent
The lies that I’ve spoken so many times
The feelings that I always try to deny
All the pain that haunts me still
And all the shame surrounding me
Is now the past...

Spirals.
Remembering the long fall.
Into another state..
Unaware of the fate.
Of consequences.
Just spiralling.
Out of control.
Uncharted depths
No place to go.
Faces come then pass.
Much like memory.
Names now forgotten.
Truths perverted in this darkness.
Feeling nakedness.
As all is stripped bare.
Looking back.
Such stupidity.
Going nowhere.
This is real.
Born to fall.
Such foreboding.
Always knowing
Knowing it all.
Bitter ends.
I ....
Into another state..
Unaware of the fate.

Just spiralling.
Out of control.
Uncharted depths
No place to go.
Faces come then pass.
Much like memory.
Names now forgotten.
Truths perverted in this darkness.
Feeling nakedness.
As all is stripped bare.
Looking back.
Such stupidity.
Going nowhere.
This is real.
Born to fall.
Such foreboding.

Swanlove's Song
Faces of garnished beauty
How I long to be the one
To drown eyes in such paradise
Places of perfect stories
Must they only take away
Art not befalling the beast's rose
May you for the well of love
Be my soul to memory
A withering day
Gone with the blue
Bosom for a broken heart
Trapped in a world
Of every fool's fairytale
Foretold under the full moon
May you to the well of love
Be my soul of memory
Ever to me
Love creates the artist
Not the reflection
Portrayed by a tragic...

Deadline
Over caffeinated
Feel Exasperated
From the time I've wasted
Feeling so deflated
Under clocks I sit
Times slipping shit
I cant hold on to it
Tik-tok it wont stop
It makes me wonna quit
But for the sake of the next break of dawn
I march on
To brighter days
I keep the light in me
No more: if you, meant to. Wish you woulda did it
Cause you gotta admit it
We all feel this way
Gotta keep our...

My Words, My Thoughts
My words, my thoughts, wise?
Or the mere utterances of a fool?
The ranting of mediocre madness.
I don’t know.
This very ignorance my only wisdom,
this very ignorance my only truth.
My words, my thoughts, lies.
Or the mere utterances of a fool?
The ranting of mediocre madness.
I don’t know.
This very ignorance my only wisdom,
this very ignorance my only truth.
My words, my thoughts, lies.
