I find myself here,
Lonely but never alone ,
Once had my direction
But now all I do is roam.
Looking in the mirror,
Seeing everything I hate.
Dying for some sleep,
But somehow I’m always awake.
I wonder every day,
Can I drown in my own tears?
The feeling is familiar,
But yet it feels so weird
My heart’s alway known pain,
Even when I was numb,
My life has never really started,
Yet I still feel like it’s done.
Had happiness for a moment,
Until it slipped out of my grip,
I wonder if I’ll ever truly know,
Any feeling that isn’t this.

The body of a man
Houses the mind of a child.
Stuck in his own world,
Never free to run wild.
Locked inside his own head,
Unaware that it’s his cage.
Does he even understand
The source of all his rage?
When he feels happiness
Does he know the reason why?
Is he as sad as we are,
That he watches the world pass him by?
Is he painfully aware,
Of blissfully ignorant of his fate?
These answers we’ll never have,
But are questions we forever contemplate.

Good deeds always punished,
Kind hearts are abused.
Funny and ironic
But I’m not amused
Most are driven by need,
Ignoring moral obligation,
Any sense of what’s right,
Outweighed by gratification.
Trying to fill a hole,
Digger deeper instead,
Consumed by an emptiness,
Hunger that can never be fed.
Trying to do what’s right,
But what is my reward?
Lived a life of peace
But still died by the sword.
The healthy are made sick
From something contagious.
In spite of the disrespect,
I try to remain gracious.
The good don’t always die young,
Sometimes they’re just shattered,
They did all the right things,
But in the end none of it mattered.

What happens
When the giver never takes?
Alway healing others
Even while she breaks
Pouring from a cup
That’s completely empty
Closing her eyes
So that others can see.
Gives the shirt off her back
Leaving herself bare,
Neglecting her needs,
To provide others with care.
Loving others
with all her heart,
While hating herself,
As she falls apart.
Living for others,
Sacrificing every day,
She is nothing
Because she gave herself away.

I spend my days wondering
If you’d have a smile like he does
How can I learn to grieve,
Something that never was.
Would your eyes sparkle,
Just like the ones I love.
Without you could I have
Everything I’ve dreamed of
I often think about it,
The person you would be
But I will never know
It’s something that I’ll never see.
You’ve never been here,
But somehow I miss you.
I live with this pain
Find a way to get through.
I dream of your face,
One that I’ll never know,
I’ve never held you
But I can’t let you go.

I can feel the desperation
Hopelessly hanging on
Like I could wake up one morning
To find that everything is gone
The more I hold tight
The more I lose my grip
I try to stay afloat
But fear im on a sinking ship
Thinking this moment
Could become just a memory
That what was once full
Could one day be empty.
How can I enjoy this
Knowing it could all disappear
I used to have faith
But now all I have is fear.

If only you could borrow my eyes,
Than you’d see yourself as I do.
How perfect you are in every way,
Truly see how much I love you.
One look at your smile,
And you’d know why I fell in love,
See that everything you are,
Makes you the man I dream of.
If only you could read my mind,
And understand my every thought,
Only than you could truly know
How much I appreciate what I’ve got.
Than you could realize the truth
That you have taken over my brain
Becoming like my obsession
One that has driven me insane.
If only you could feel inside my heart,
And how it beats only for you
And experience how with every kiss
You make it all feel so brand new
Just embrace this feeling
Appreciate that it is so intense
I know that you are part of me
That without you, none of it makes sense.

It’s liquid medicine
But it does not heal
It only distorts
What is fake and what’s real.
Tired of hurting
So I want to be numb
Afraid of feeling
All that I have become.
In the blink of an eye
Nothing’s ever the same
Although it’s not my fault
I don’t want to place blame.
Where is the strength
That I thought I had?
Why can’t I see any good
Through all of the bad?
Try to drink it away
But still it remains
I scream for freedom
As I hold tight to these chains.
My love is so strong,
So faithful and pure
But it may not be enough
To provide me a cure.

They say that beauty
Is in the eye of the beholder
But I no longer see mine
Now that I’ve gotten older
I look in the mirror
And see my reflection
Analyzing every flaw,
Dreaming of perfection
This face that I see
I just don’t recognize
Tell me I’m beautiful
But I won’t believe your lies
I’ve lost my beauty
It ran off with my youth
Others may lie to me
But I know the truth.

His eyes are ocean deep
And I am lost at sea
His smile is a lighthouse
Shining bright for me
So I try to find my way
Guided by his light
But waves crash over me
That I’m too weak to fight
Why am I sinking?
When all I do is swim
I wonder if I’ll ever
Make my way back home to him.

Broken promises
And empty words
Are all that I have
But not what I deserve.
I lived in my dreams
Until they became a nightmare
Went from safety
To feeling so scared.
Trying to forget
But it plays on repeat
Wishing that I didn’t want
The one thing that I need.
What once was beautiful
Is now ugly to the bone
Shattered to pieces
A love that was once whole.
Faking the strength
That I just don’t have,
Not ready to let go
Of all that I once had.
The feeling was real
Even if the reality was not.
One second it was here
And the next it was gone.

I miss the days when I was numb,
Yearning to feel something
But now as I drown
I reflect on the times I felt nothing.
The higher the high
Means the lower the low,
But pain is easier to feel
When it is all that you know.
But now that I have got a taste
Of what happiness really is,
I can longer enjoy ignorance,
No longer can it be my bliss.
Can’t pretend to be blind
After all that I have seen
I’m not at the beginning or the end
I am somewhere in between.
Found a place to belong
In the heart of someone,
Now I’m left wondering
If my search has just begun.

Always running out of breath
Even when I’m standing still
I tell myself that it won’t last
Even though I know it will
The weight of the world
Is being held in my chest
My heart is tired
Never getting any rest
Always uncomfortable
Like I just don’t belong
Nothing feels right
When everything is wrong
Even when I close my eyes
I can still see inside my mind
As I search for what I’ve lost
I’m afraid of what I’ll find
Always racing through life
But never getting ahead
I’m falling apart at the seems
Hanging on by a thread.
I try to make sense
Of things I can not control.
I’m a puzzle with missing pieces,
So I will never be whole.
Always feeling embarrassed
Living with my shame
Everything’s forever changing
Yet somehow it’s still the same.
Forever asking questions,
But never finding out why,
I am stuck with the burden
Of just trying to get by.
