"people like you don't get to give up-
you have a due to pay."
i want to live, with my lost empathy.
"i don't need easy
i just need possible."
i don't want this feeling - this forgetfulness - of the existence of those who really do matter.
"i cant do this,
but I'm doing it anyways."
i want to be good again.
emotions thrive too fast-
latch on to the affection-starved
and the switch off never works the same again.
in the dead of night
in the depths of their eyes
no light shone there.
(the parallel made me uneasy)
in lakes reflection
(you'd think i'd know me best.)
pain-
a way to live.
this abuse suffered to lonely ones
i was just a kid-
i am just a kid.
i can be good again.
(or at least, lets hope i can.)
