I don't know what to do
I just don't understand
so now I keep on running
I'll never comprehend
these feelings I can't handle
emotions uncontrolled
everything's gone crazy
I just can't get ahold.
I'm sorry I'm this way
I hate myself for this
I hope you'll all forgive me
or you I'll dearly miss.
There's something wrong inside
I just can't tell you why
don't worry about me
I just need to cry.
Each tear's not about you
believe me on this one
they are because of me...
my feelings aren't fun.

 

I once knew a little child
she would run barefoot in the soft green grass
with the sun glistening in her eyes
and her hair flowing in the wind

She knew of no pain
her sweet innocense radiated from her face
singing her gentle song when the sun would go down
waiting for the next day when she could live again

Yet something happened to that small child
she was forced to grow up
the tortures of the world were exposed before her eyes
and her radiance was gone

She no longer ventures into the world
instead, she prefers to stay alone
counting the tears that cascade down her face
staring into eyes that resemble nothing but empty darkness

The beauty has been replaced
the sweet simplicity gone
the sun has gone down forever
and she waits in eternity for the love she needs

My heart felt her pain
hearing her soul cry out in agony
I put down my pen to help her
when I realized that the girl was me
 

Dreams gone
hope shattered
my soul throbs with pain
my tears cry out in agony
darkness envelops my sight
laughter rings in my ears
evil swarms around me
taunting, pointing
clammy hands touch my face
restricting my breath
I gasp for life
reaching out for a glimmer of light
but all is gone
lost forever
the pain numbs my senses
I cannot fight back
helpless against all...
silence

 

ME
You look at me
and then decide
'Oh she's ugly'
I'm torn inside.
You think you know
you really don't
It's just not fair
but care you won't.
My cheeks turn red
tears wet my face
I turn away
I'm a disgrace.
Beauty inside
that never shows
tries to come out
tries hard to glow.
You don't see it
don't understand
but it's okay
I need a man
NOT YOU, YOU JERK!
 
THE STORM INSIDE
On the outside I'm smiling
but on the inside I'm not
and you don't realize
all the battles I've fought.
Inside I am crying
fed up with everyone
I feel like no one cares for me
this feeling isn't fun.
Cuz I'm surrounded by beauties
and geniuses too
but where do I fit in?
Certainly neither of these two.
I need to find a place
a place where I can be free
where I love everyone
and everyone loves me.
