People will tell me
Love is built of trust
But darling, I must disagree.
For simply trusting
That he will not lay a hand on you
When he slams the door in your face...
Trusting
That he will never mean it
When he says he will do you harm...
Trusting
That his words, although echoing,
Will never transform into a fist,
Willing to do anything in order
To get the things
He craves...
That is not building love.
People will tell me
Love is formed from accepting flaws
But, oh, dear, how I disagree!
For accepting the way he screams at you
When you talk to people
He doesn't approve of...
Accepting the way
He looks into your innocent eyes
And touc
Daddy, don't lie to me, I wanna know
Where is she hiding, and why did she go?
Daddy, don't lie to me, please, pretty please
It's like I can hear her voice within the breeze.
Daddy, don't lie to me, where did she run?
Daddy, I know all the things you have done.
Daddy, don't lie to me, I've seen her scars
Hidden from me like the faraway stars.
Daddy, don't tell me, I don't wanna hear
I'm hoping these thoughts are just worries, just fears.
Daddy, don't tell me, I can't stand the facts
I just wanna think this is some silly act.
Daddy, I love you, you know this is true
But honestly, why do you do what you do?
Daddy, I saw you when you pushed h
So many have it worse than you, so don't be so upset.
Depression is so stupid, just the same as false regret.
Anxiety? Oh, what a joke. You just don't want to fail.
Hallucinations? What a crazy, funny little tale.
Darling, you're pathetic. Take the blade off of your skin.
You're such a little wannabe, don't let your sorrow win.
Suicide is stupid, and a sin, oh, don't you see?
Come on, just respond, love, why are you ignoring me?
...
Today I heard you passed away. I'm sorry for your pain.
If only others knew the way I did-- you weren't insane.
If only you had known, my love, how much your soul was worth...
But honestly, you should've smile
Music is all around me.
I can't escape its ineffable absorbency.
I am suffocated by the sounds of my own melodies.
I am embraced by the sounds of everyone's rhapsodies.
I am constantly under the influence of my own personal experiences.
Music doesn't hide from my entity.
It doesn't don a mask.
It constantly shows itself to me.
And I unknowingly befriend it.
I befriend it in the hopes of making myself better.
But I don't get better.
No, I only get worse.
I stagnate even though I can improve.
Everyone else around me can't help me.
I am all alone, left with my musical demons.
Music is all around me.
I can't flee from its endless abnormality.
I'm aching,
trying so hard
to watch the world spin
without my sanity beginning to spin
as well.
I'm breaking,
struggling to see my beauty
without basing it
off my own
insecurities.
Perhaps I've built myself
a complex puzzle,
and simply lost
too many pieces.
Perhaps
I made my life a battle
knowing I could never
win.
I'd rather lose myself
than be
lost.
I'd rather
stop looking
both ways
than be
afraid.
I used to fear shadows,
and now,
I wish to be one.
I used to fear my disappearance,
now I want to be gone.
I'm aching.
Trying so hard to watch the
world
spin.
But unfortunately,
my sanity
started spinning
too.
You say that I'm all these different things that I'm not.
So, if you don't mind, tell me this, then:
Am I a loser who lives with and is a spouse to a cousin even though we're not married?
Am I a freak who can't speak, is morbidly obese, and suffers from a severe mental illness?
Am I a waste of life who constantly gives other people a bad impression even though I mean well?
Am I a pedophile who masturbates in public while carrying a Build-A-Bear plush in my left hand?
Am I a nagger who constantly asks for your permission to do things despite knowing that I'll get the okay anyway to do so?
And what am I to you?
Maybe you should look at yours
Sometimes, when I'm sad
I remember that one time,
All I had to worry about was
If the bubbles I had blown, were about to
Disappear.
Sometimes, when I'm sad
I remember that one time,
I began to worry about the day that
My childhood would simply
Disappear.
Sometimes, when I'm sad
I remember that some day,
When I'm sitting with my husband
In the old old house... my days will simply
Disappear.
And that day,
The day when my heartbeat is
Silenced...
The day when my breath
Truly gets taken away.
That's the day
When my worries, my concerns, my fears...
Will simply...
Disappear.
