I'm not lost I just haven't found
My place in this world,
I'm not tired, I've just no drive
To get out my words,
I'm not torn I'm just not
Completely in one piece,
I'm not trash I'm just not
As precious as I could be,
I'm not whole, I think we know that
I'm missing some parts,
I'm the Tinman, I've been left
Without a heart.
I'm not weeping, I'm just leaking,
Emotions seeping through,
I'm not sad I just
Can't quite smile at you.
I'm not bleeding I'm just
Bearing my soul,
I'm not pointless
I still have my goals.
I'm not not making sense
You just don't understand
If you knew what it's like to wear my shoes
You'd take my hand,
Yes I'm a chain that has a chink,
I'm hello without goodbye,
I'm a pail that has a leak
And I reserve my right to die,
I'm at peace while I'm at war
With the demons you can't see,
I'm yin and yang, a living breathing paradox,
That's what's become of me.

Face Of No One
I'm grasping for air but there is none. Once again This fucking emptiness has won. The battle of worthlessness. Simple. I'm nothing, I confess. Shadows I embrace. It's still clear.

Ocean Tears & Thoughts
My tears roll as rough as the ocean waves down my face. It's only so much I can take. The emptiness and loneliness hurts, and the people laughing at you. The voices inside my head.
I Am
I am happy, I am sad. I wonder how life started. I hear raindrops on the window. I see love all around me. I want world peace. I am happy, I am sad. I pretend I'm always happy.
