Sins

I dont know why
you like to hurt me

I cant understand
the joy you find in my pain

what I hate the most is
I deserve it

Private Hell (Daddy Doesn't Know)

i crave it like blood
trickling down my throat
in some self redeeming pain
that washes away the evil
as i consume my own hell

i feel the faith at my fingertips
the light soaring from my throat
the shimmer of fire in my heart
then i remember,
nothing beutiful can come from me

closing my eyes and focus on emptiness
breathe in the solitude
breathe out poisonous gas...
no wonder they all left me

Hush

fall back into place
scream without fear
smile in your pain
pretend you dont notice my eyes
disecting you

Forgetful

i sing gospel hymns in the season of surplus joy
all i feel is my voice straining to reach the high notes
they never seemed so high
i forget the purpose of singing praises to god

Refusal

im so sick of sitting solitary
in this stupid sinking hole
take a little bit more from me
just a little bit more
then i'll be my own hole
screw this veiw you thrust on me!
i dont need your opinions to grow on me,
im too busy

What Really Matters

how can i sit and idle
the world is turnning
im trapped with my only window,
my guitar and my pen
i reserve them
grades are my parents priority
therefore mine
pointless
that i sit while my heart
runs through dreams
and skies
and nightclubs
and dj's
and songs delayed by this
this sickening schoolwork
consuming me
numbing my mind
my heart cannot be swayed
that easily
i will rise
like the moon
to look out on thousands
and sing to them
their applause making
everything worthwhile

Kissing

how exciting kissing is
for the children of my time
it is completion that is exploited
more heavely than christmas

Regret

   Realizing
   Everything
   Great
   Really

All The Paper

when i think of all the pages i have used
or wasted
writing out my fears
insecurities
passions
hatreds
just to be ignored and pushed away
i cringe
no one understands
even introverts get lonely

a series of small untitled thoughts:

figuratively slap me on the wrist

would you at least lie and say
im a good girl
but you dont notice that
that would make you too happy

my entire life i have searched
for a place where i could belong

thank you to everyone who loved me
when i didnt love them

i told you my insecurities
then you took advantage of them

im stupid
he says

is this what it feels like to die?

you never said i had to
justify my actions

i think
i miss
you

if you only knew
what your absence
does to my soul

maybe it was me
who was lying
all that time
