Tell Me

Tell me again how your life is so hard
As you weep in your ivory tower
I'll listen to your superficial complaints
As I struggle on hour by hour

Tell me again how you groan and you ache
How your years have seen nothing but pain
Perhaps I'd listen if you knew how it felt
For tears to be common as rain

Tell me again how you've lived through the worst
And how no-one else has it so bad
Well I'll tell you right now that you would be wrong
And your moaning is making me sad

If you'd close your mouth and listen for once
Then maybe, to you I'll confide
For some of us don't like to tell the whole world
But bottle our angst up inside.

Turtle

An unforgiving heart, Paired with broken eyes, Is only the start Of emotional demise. Sneaking brownies in the dark, Silly me. Won't cure an aching heart. I just want to be left be.

Rambling

I'm looking down, realising. I've reopened wounds from before. Not just from the past week or so. But from all those years ago. That time when I thought I knew how it felt. But now I really know.

Judgements

More and more people are getting hurt because of other people. People judge too harshly when they should realise they only know a persons appearance and name not the story behind either one of them.

I feel like screaming right now. If I don't defend myself then I'll end up defenseless. If I don't scream over the noise and state my cause, then I might as well become mute.
