Brace For Impact
Bare with me, you see I never experienced death you see.
I was living my life in the hundred acre woods,
Eating honey sipping lies, Believing life was all good.
Failing to foresee the red sea slowly engulfing me.
Life comes at you fast.
Death hit me with a upper cut, jab cross
Took out one of my brightest lights
I had no chance.
It was only 3 seconds into the first round
I was leaning, I couldn’t stand.
Grim reaper told me I was his inn keeper
Dropped his bags at the front door
He appeared eager
I became weaker ...
I was living my life in the hundred acre woods,

I had no chance.
It was only 3 seconds into the first round
I was leaning, I couldn’t stand.
Grim reaper told me I was his inn keeper
Dropped his bags at the front door
He appeared eager

Shattered
My girl was there and pretended to care
As long as it looked good to others
But when things became tough
And the roads became rough
I seemed to become too much a bother
The drink and the drugs
Filled the void of a love
That no longer seemed to matter
Then piece by piece
Like broken glass at my feet
My life became incurably shattered
Shattered like a window
After innocent childhood play
Shattered like a puzzle
Thrown away in dismay
Shattered like a bottle
After each and every...
As long as it looked good to others
But when things became tough
And the roads became rough
I seemed to become too much a bother
The drink and the drugs
Filled the void of a love
That no longer seemed to matter
Then piece by piece
Like broken glass at my feet
My life became incurably shattered
Shattered like a window

Shattered like a bottle

Lost
Passing words and backwards glances
Winning shots on second chances
Meaningful words that just don't matter
Going nowhere a whole lot faster
The darkest hour never comes in the night
Battling yourself you'll always lose that fight
Fragmented thoughts just swirl around
Screaming so loud without making a sound
Run away run away
Forget it all and survive another day
Winning shots on second chances
Meaningful words that just don't matter
Going nowhere a whole lot faster
The darkest hour never comes in the night
Battling yourself you'll always lose that fight
Fragmented thoughts just swirl around
Screaming so loud without making a sound
Run away run away
Forget it all and survive another day

Mind my malign stare
I am aware, but not here
Gone. Lost what went wrong
I am aware, but not here
Gone. Lost what went wrong

The prize
Sitting, thinking, reflecting
Pondering, reviewing, surveying
This is my life, the life the universe has freely given to me
Who am I to say it's right or wrong?
Who am I to say its not for me?
I will embrace all that I've received, make it mine,
Live my destiny, embrace, nurture, evolve
Freedom will always be my prize
Pondering, reviewing, surveying
This is my life, the life the universe has freely given to me
Who am I to say it's right or wrong?
Who am I to say its not for me?
I will embrace all that I've received, make it mine,
Live my destiny, embrace, nurture, evolve
Freedom will always be my prize

Social acceptance
Social acceptance
I’m sick of expectations
The manifestation of ideation burned into our minds from adolescence that the meaning of life is to have social acceptance
Your life is based on sizes
Size six is too small size fourteen is too large but if you’re in between you’re too slim or too harsh
There’s no way for people to win
We celebrate all shapes and sizes when we post it on Instagram but when we turn off the phone we make fun of those people doing their confidence dance
Society is a scam
There’s...

sleepless
sleepless nights and hopeless dreams
thoughts of death slip into my head
can't be left alone again
forcing me to take pills so i'm "happy"
but what is happy anyways?
they say they wanna die as a joke
they don't know us well then
suicidal thoughts are common with us
gabe, zach, aubri, helena
weird but
why not trust the weird ones?
they keep your secrets better than miss gossip girl does
are you okay they ask
really? you're asking now, after you notice i've been cutting?
what is wrong with some people
you tell them you...

Me
I open my eyes
And i close them again
I want to leave
But im in ice, im frozen
Stuck in a glacier
Of deciet lies and hate
Stuck in a pit
Tied down with weights
Im lost in a struggle
That i will never win
Crying to god
But it seems im lost to him
I reach for thee sky
But im losing all hope
I dont know what to do
And i cant seem to cope....
And i close them again
I want to leave
But im in ice, im frozen
Stuck in a glacier
Of deciet lies and hate
Stuck in a pit
Tied down with weights
Im lost in a struggle
That i will never win
Crying to god
But it seems im lost to him
I reach for thee sky
But im losing all hope
I dont know what to do
And i cant seem to cope....

my little game
I started my little game
when I was twelve years old.
It goes a little like this,
everything is controlled.
everyday is the same
constantly dreading a meal,
always calculating calories
trying to achieve the ideal
my curly thick hair
and my glowing skin
both things I gave up
just to be thin
the pounds fell off
and my bones began to show
"only one more pound"
I said ten pounds ago
I picked up new hobbies
I run everyday
in hopes that it lowers
that dreaded number I weigh ...

Like A Feather Fallen
Separate from her comrades
She cannot soar, like they do
Cruely detached and condemned
To drift Inevitably toward
The darkness of the forest floor
Alone and cold
With bitter sickness
Filtering into damp decay
The leaf litter begins smothering
Precious light, away from her eyes
Awash in melancholy thought
Tendrils of chagrin
Drift through her psyche
Like a noxious smoke and
A soft contempt grows
Until the one day
She will be lifted up
To see the light,...
She cannot soar, like they do
Cruely detached and condemned
To drift Inevitably toward
The darkness of the forest floor
Alone and cold
With bitter sickness
Filtering into damp decay
The leaf litter begins smothering
Precious light, away from her eyes
Awash in melancholy thought
Tendrils of chagrin
Drift through her psyche
Like a noxious smoke and
A soft contempt grows
Until the one day
