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
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
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
how exciting kissing is
for the children of my time
it is completion that is exploited
more heavely than christmas
Realizing
Everything
Great
Really
doEsn't
matTer
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
