Short hair died almost blue,
you make everyone look at you
They wonder what has gotten into you.
But you are exhausted --
you don't want to be like them too.
Over the past years
I have felt you grow
and now I feel you wanting a bit more.
A bit more attention,
your name is all you wanted them to know
But they tricked you
into this dilemma that is now you
by spreading horrid stories about you two
Now you and Laisha feel stuck
and you do not know what to do.
And as the moon creeps up by your window
you feel your punk posters staring back at you
and you hear their wuthering whispers,
whispers that float across the room.
They come and dance next to your ears
so you hide underneathe your blanket,
behind your tears
And after crying, for what felt like years --
You hear the clock strike 3
Time to face your fears.
You go and stand in front of that mirror by the basin
and you tell yourself --
"Just a little bit.
Just a small s l a s h across the wrist."
But wait, Akira!
Don't do that please.
Your wound might banish your pain --
It will heal, but my Story will start to cease.
Hear me out, Akira!
I feel like I'm disappearing
into an oblivion which does not welcome me.
Towards the gate of nothingness
your demons are pushing me.
Don't let go of me, Akira!
Don't let them win the War
A war that cries for peace
Peace you can only attain
if you just listen to me.
Listen to me when I say
They are sadists,
they like to cause people p a i n.
They think it makes them bigger
but we both know, that logic is completely insane.
Insane like the night
that is spreading over your heart right now
You need to Fight
and you need to show Laisha how.
Please do not care what others think of you
For there are a million better things
you must hold on to.
So, be who you are
and do what you really want to do
Even if that means --
Colouring your hair BLUE.
