I’m falling to pieces in my mind
And it breaks me down every time
I can’t deal with this much longer now
It’s only a matter of time before it all breaks down
I’m hanging by a thread and I’m just waiting for it to break
There’s only so much more I can take
The pieces fall down and everything’s so out of place
It just seems to be getting worse day after day
Nobody really cares because it could always be worse
Someone out there will always have a more extreme curse
What can I do to prove I’m in distress
It’s a rough existence I really must confess
I stuck it out for years and years hoping f
A lot of times we wonder what we’re good for
It’s like everything’s restricted, like a closed door
No one lets us in, no one lets us out
Sometimes we wanna scream, sometimes we wanna shout
No one hears us, so what’s the point of it
We feel trapped, locked in a pit
Sometimes we wonder if we’ll really be a shining star
Sometimes we wonder who we truly are
We are, we are, the kids of the world
We are, we are, speaking out for all the boys and girls
We are, we are, crying out for consideration
We are, we are, about to hit our destination
We are, we are prone to hesitation
We don’t really know who we are
We
VERSE 1
I keep trying to make sense of life
But so far all I'm doing is wasting time
Because I know there's no way to know
Where we'll end up if we get lost in the flow
On this spinning ball of green and blue
It's always hard to know what to do
CHORUS
Chasing ghosts never solved a thing
It just added salt to the sting
Hunting demons shouldn't leave TV
Because it won't shape us into who we should be
They recall all of your offenses
And there will be consequences
Beware; chasing ghosts has a price to pay
You'll be haunted to the end of your days
I keep trying to make it through the night
But for all I know it's a losing fight
Because there's
There’s something about seeing the Milky Way on a dark dark night
That leaves a magic in the air every time
And I think the universe knew what to do
When it led me straight to you
I often dream of the day when our forever really starts
And we’re connected for eternity in our hearts
It’s way too early to see if things will work out
But right now isn’t a time for doubt
Life’s too short to focus on the things that get us down
And when we’re together we can take the town
With you I feel unstoppable, like there’s nothing I can’t do
And that’s part of what describes my love for you
I’ll
It’s a beautiful night
The stars are dancing in the sky
But all I want any time soon
Is to be under the mistletoe with you
It’s a lovely day with the sun shining bright
I feel refreshed in the warm light
But all I really want to do
Is be under the mistletoe with you
Holding your hand makes everything alright
My stomach jumps when you squeeze it tight
The only thing that could make things better
Would be us being under the mistletoe together
Since you made me yours you’ve never left my mind
Your love is all I’ve ever hoped to find
Words cannot describe how much I love you so
But maybe I can explain with a kiss under
You’re looking in his eyes
And you seem to be falling for his lies
You can’t seem to see the secrets behind that smile
You don’t know that honesty isn’t his style
Run away fast, and do it now
Or you’ll be in a maze
And you’ll never get out
Once you get sucked in you won’t get out alive
Once you’re inside you’re stuck for all time
It’s a maze that has no end
It’s a maze you’ll never leave again
Take two steps back, then run away
Don’t stick around, don’t stay
If you don’t step away you won’t get out
In the labyrinth your body will never be found
Y
You're so cold it makes me wanna cry
Saying I'm okay is slightly more than a little white lie
I'm so pissed off, and yet so sad inside
I'm locked in a fight I just can't win
I wish you'd try to be civil now and then
I'm sick of spinning in circles again and again
I don't want this tension and pure hostility
I've tried time and time again to stop it to the best of my ability
I don't like this fight that we've gotten into
It's like we're in a standoff, anticipating our next move
Well I'm alright with your silence toward me
But not with the overwhelming icy heat
I don't know how this went down, who fired the first shot
We're in a standoff, like
I was reading through that summer’s journal today
What went down still blows me away
Even then I think I knew deep down in my heart
That you were the reason I fell apart
It’s mind-blowing that I ever loved you
When you couldn’t even tell me the truth
All you are is an asshole with nothing to show
While I’ve moved on and am going with the flow
Despite it all, I can still recall the way it felt
When I was in your arms and wanted to melt
I recall it with the knowledge of hindsight
Knowing we would lose that fight
I wish you’d have told me what went through your mind
When you kissed me that warm June night
Nothing
When I was, 15, going on 16
I swore I’d marry that boy someday
Then things happened and the curtain fell on the scene
And he stood up and walked away
There I was, 17, nearly grown to 18
I couldn’t let him go
It was too hard to accept defeat
And I looked back fondly on days so long ago
Here I am, 22, almost to 23
He barely crosses my mind these days
When I recall him I don’t look upon it fondly
It was always a matter of time before we made our own way
Someday I’ll be 25, closing in on 26
And he’ll be left in my brain’s rubble
I should’ve known we were oil and water and wouldn’t mix
And that be
When you look at me
I think of the mistakes I wanna undo
Everytime I think of you
I think about the bridge I burned
The lessons I learned
But then I continue to look back
Wishing I could erase that part of my past
This is what happens when you tell a huge piece of truth
So this song’s for you
Here’s to everything I wish I could undo
Here’s to you and your immature attitude
Here’s to all the pain that you put me through
Here’s to all the memories that are fadin’
Thought it was meant to be, guess I was mistaken
Wish I could tell you what’s running through my head
But right now my heart feels full of le

So I saw the letter that I wrote to you
Back when we were 3 years younger.
I made up my mind so many times back then
That I guess that it will never end.
Counting piles of melodies of grey and blue skies
Not ever to expect they’d change.
Carefully I settle through all over again,
‘Cause you just assumed we’d still be friends.
No I can’t forget, but I won’t waste time.
I’d stay awake until the feeling dies.
No matter how sorry I feel.
No matter how sorry I feel.
And though I take no blame, forget me not.
Still old things fall to the ground
No matter how the way you feel.
No matter how the way you feel.

Shall I compare thee to a midsummers day?
Nay, for that line is too cliche.
And I dare not to an eve in winter,
For your personality is far from cold and bitter.
Your soul is like a crisp spring morning,
Fresh dew, green trees, sweet scents, and beautiful songs
Like a stream or brook, cool and refreshing,
Calming and peaceful, taking all the time you wish;
Like a volcano filled with fire and passion and
With the rare eruption, a distinct beauty.
You remind me of the clouds, light and true,
And the sky around them, a beautiful blue.
All these things and more, in you I see.
Like a minstril, you are a muse to me.
I don’t know how to fall
Sometimes I forget how to speak
Only laughing at other people’s jokes
Just waking up and falling asleep
Reading when the letters were (only) ink
Existing through noise, living for silence
Silence is Golden.... by IntricateSunlight, literature
Literature
Silence is Golden....
It feels like it has been ages
Yes, so long
Pens fill up notebook pages
Too far gone
Words fade to obscurity
Between hushed lips
Against an air of withering vitality
A wounded ship
Silence is golden except
When gold is in the heart
And there is a one footed step
Walking in circles from the start
Straighten the path, two steps at a time
Move forward and patch the wounds
Heal the scars, see the sunshine
Spoken word knows no bounds
No limits.
Here I'll Stand
You may not know,
or even care
but here i will stand
with my soul bare
Indeed like a rock
planted in the earth
here i will stand
until the new earth
If God calls me away,
late i can't be
for He is the king
and His knight i'll be
This is the one,
yes this is the reason
that i will stand
through every season
My heart's not the best
i know i've failed
but i can stand
because He was nailed
on the cross so rugged
He looked on with love
and stood upon the nails
to bring life from above
my orders are clear
i will stand in the light
and though the pain is great
i pray for His might
so here i will stand

Don't be scared, darling. by MikkiMarie, literature
Literature
Don't be scared, darling.
We're going to try something new
Eating our meals, and swallowing each bite,
Not hiding the chewed up remains under our tongue,
And not making ourselves vomit through the night.
We're going to try something new,
Bringing the liquor down from our lips,
Not turning to the alcohol for comfort,
Until the addiction rips.
We're going to try something new,
Throwing away the needles, the pins, and the blades
Not searching underneath our skin for emotion,
Watching the wounds and the scars fade.
We're going to try something new,
Darling, I challenge you, I dare you.
We're going to try something new...
Darling,
Why does that scare you?
I broke my ankle on Monday so I won't be out and about much. But that may mean more time for writing; not sure how inspired sitting on my ass on my couch is going to make me though.

VERSE 1
I feel like a neuscence, like I don't belong.
I feel like I do everything wrong.
Nobody seems to want me around.
Nobody seems to care that my life is crumbling down.
What's the point of life if the nights never see...
