-Words flow onto paper
As tears fall like rain
And though we are all different
We are all insane

-Thoughts swirl around in my head
Forming lines with words
And as they flow out my mouth
They are seen, not heard

-They expect me to be perfect
They expect me to be the best
But then I realize that my own expectations
Are higher than the rest

-Pushing back your problems
Pulling on your words
Laying on your emotions
Standing on the curb

-My confidence is delicate
In me I do not trust
I have my own low self esteem
Beneath my layers of dust

-The rhyming scheme is all the same
I do not know how or why
It just flows onto the line like this
All in the blink of an eye

-I do not know how to do it
My confidence is too low
I am too scared to deal with it
But my fondness it does grow

-My words do not make sense
They are but of my thoughts
Do you really understand?
For these are battles I have fought

-I want it all to happen
It sends my heart ablaze
I know it will not happen
For my own heart is a maze

-They don't realize that it's hard
I can't just go up and ask
So I'm reduced to sitting here
Writing about my task

-I do not know or understand
What I am feeling or saying
I don't know if it's true or not
But this feeling is insane

-I'm going to tell him today
I'm hoping he will understand
I'm trying to convince myself
That it's all worth it in the end

-My life hangs on a string
Swinging to and fro
And one mistake might end it
But then the tears will flow

-The walls enclosing me are white
My vision fades to black
The voices are inside my head
And there's no going back

-These people understand me
They are going through the same
They know my life more than I do
They have gone through the pain

-His smile is the brightest
His eyes are like the stars
His laugh is my existence
So what am I waiting for?

-These words I do not think about
They just flow from me
I do not know what they are
But I do know what they mean

-Time ticks away in this world ****
We have but limited time
Sitting here our time is up
The clock now it does chime

-The constant chirping of the birds
The music slowly plays
I can not think of a better way
To spend my dwindling days

-My mind is like a story
I am reading my own book
I do not know what happens next
For my world is being shook

-Still the clock chimes for me ****
That forever ticking tock
Time does not wait for me
Neither does the clock

-Darkness is all around me
Yet light is what I see
The darkness tries to enclose me
Not realizing the light is me

-Words are for the weak
Yet words are for the strong
Words make up your death note
And your favorite song

-My mind is a machine
My body follows along
They are always the same
Working from dusk till dawn

-Dreams are my enchantment
Real life is the curse
Why would I want to wake from a fantasy
To live in something worse?

-Everyone is different
Yet everyone's the same
We all expect from others
What we ourselves can not tame

-I do not understand these things
My emotions are all mixed around
My feelings are not what I want
My world is crashing down

-Everyone is happy
Everyone I see
Everyone is happy
Everyone but me

-I have you to look forward to
A brand new day awaits
Everything is amazing
So let the sun shine on your face

-Smile because you're beautiful
Laugh because you can
Cry and let the tears fall
Your life has just began

-You stare down at yourself
You hate all that you see
Society is pressuring you
To be what you can not be

-Stars shine bright in the night
Illuminating the world below
They are the flicker in the night
Giving their audience a show

-The problem with the world today
Is that it does not see
It does not see the the beautiful creations
That we have turned out to be

-Blood is just stained water
Tears are but salted smiles
Words are verbal wounds
Life is a turning dial

-Music soothes the weary soul
Filling the heart with glee
It tunes out the rest of the world
Leaving the soul to be

-Floating on the water
Out into the sea
Nothing is pulling me back
So here I will float free

-You comfort me in time of need
You make my smile grow
You're always there to comfort me
That's what best friends are for

-The world has grown different
It's not the same as it was
Things are constantly changing
Stupid is as stupid does

-These stories do not match up
These lies I've heard before
You tell me that you will leave
But you always go back for more

-Today will be amazing
Tomorrow even more
My life is full of miracles
Since you showed up at my door

-You are but a flower
Growing gently with all your might
One mishap might break you
Yet you will make it through the night

-The grass sways gently in the breeze
The clouds move to and fro
The sunshine feels nice to touch
I do not wish to go

-Rain cuts through the sunshine
Rainbows cut through the rain
Clouds cover the rainbows
Now here comes the rain

-I tried to forget about it
It torments me every night
The monsters of emotion
Now have won this fight

-Take it literally
See the soul for all it's meant to be
Shine some light onto this place
Do not cover up your beautiful face

-A daydream is a yearning for fantasy
A place your own where you can run free
Everything is real is that vicinity
Yet everything is not what it seems

-Take pleasure in life
You never know when it's gone
The breaking of a heart
Is covered by a new dawn

-Everything controls me
Decisions decide my path
Why not make a different life
It's better than going back

-The soul sower collects the souls, shattered and left behind
Dreams remain untarnished, yet dusted over time
Cracks and splits within the soul still let the hope shine through
Even though they were abandoned, they are just like new

-Love is a butterfly landing on a flower
Love is a pebble skipping across the water
Love is a glass bowl shaped by the fire
Love is a shatter of a heart's desire

-A paper shield encloses me
Not letting me be who I want to be
Cut the paper and let me flee
Only then will my soul flow free

-You're lips are closed, silent still
You say it's nothing, quieting kill
Something is distracting, on your mind
Its going to be okay, everything will align

-Everyone here is different
Stories told by lies
They scream to be accepted
Then lay down and die

-Muffled cries and silent screams
Money pocketed from random streets
Calls to home that mean nothing
The pretty birds no longer sing

-You're worth it to everyone but yourself
You think that you're nothing still you cry out for help
The crying calls will hope to be found
Bound by ropes into the ground

-I'm killing myself from the inside out
Does anyone care what I'm all about?
Nobody cares enough to see
I want to be somebody's everything
