(2013)
I’m like one of those people Who says that music is my soul Except it’s not Because music is meaningful And music drowns out noise
I pretend I know everything, Or that I can do anything, But I don’t, And I can’t. Sure I may act
Ten times more They whisper hate And I wish they would stop Because of late I’ve seen these people
People walk Down the streets, Seeming happy As can be, Or maybe sad,
Sitting on the bed And sometimes laying down The chill from the AC Is too uncomfortable I recoil from the breeze
In my ear, Ana whispers And tells me just Be thinner, dear But I fear
Long thin lines Across skin Placed there Upon day’s end Old ones pink
Scars on legs And scars on arms Incisions on bodies And stitches for sealing Cuts and scrapes
Eyes are shifting Slowly sifting Through the darkness Of the scrying glass, Hours spent staring
I want to be the one You tell your problems to, Because no one else seems to liste… I want to be the one Who understands you,
I’m like a broken plate That you threw on the ground Because you were upset But no matter what you do You can never fix it
You dance to the angels’ Song of life Completely unaware That God choreographed Your whole existence
I put in my headphones To listen to songs And I listen to sad things Which tend to make me cry And I listen to screaming
Passing Time I spend my days Falling through the glass That is our fragile world Chasing something
Sometimes I feel myself Willing to cry And sad over nothing I can remember That would make me upset
