The pretty girls are nothing compared to you
I've dealt the snarky remarks, but never to you
I've been on your side of the room
I've always cared about what people have said
I've committed the crime
Home is the last place I'd want to be
I've been alone: physically, mentally, emotionally, in the crowd of people, their thoughts, and their emotions
I've felt surrounded, but never truly wanted
I've cared, but you've never hurt me
I've imagined life without me
I'll always find a way to do everything wrong
I'm the guy whose presence will make a glass tower fall apart
I always want to go back and do things again, better
All of my accomplishments are more like participation awards
I shatter the glass, and it can't be mended, not even with your help
Everything around has shattered and finally I retreat into my heart, only for it to be easily torn apart by you
But when you can't take it, you can lean on me
For there is more strength in numbers
And everything will get better
Atlas simply requires a helping hand every now and then
And he needs someone to protect him while holding up the world
Someone who will let him rest safely
There are people around who are alone as well
So why not join them every now and then
Cry out to them
Lonely is as lonely does, so those who wouldn't want to be broken even further will not break you down
Sometimes
Sometimes it's forgetting about tomorrow
Because today will last as long as you're with that person
That person who, when talking to you, is smiling
And meaning it for once
Someone who listens, advises, soothes, laments
Sometimes it's forgetting
Sometimes
It's telling yourself
Simply
BE OK...
I Get You
Similarities and differences
Those are the things that connect us
The Thick and the Thin
The White and the Tan
The Broken and the Crushed
The Closed and the Shut
The Heart of Gold and the Heart of White
There's a difference
But you can't tell which is which
I Get You
Because I'm like you
I AM You
And I am lucky to be You
For you are beautiful
Inside and Out
And you have preserved the pages
With no torn, bent, or wrinkled corners
