Asking what he's meant to do, When the truth's just another path to choose, 'Cause he's fallen to my knees here, And he has everything to lose. We shouldn't be trapped in lies.
Today I washed my make up away, so the mirror could see my face. I wanted all my pain to portray what my words could not say. Because I'll never be good enough. They see my tears they call my bluff.
Heart and mind are never in sync. Try as I might but there seems to be no link. Mind says go and heart says stop. And I am just stuck and can't reach the top. Heart and mind both cause me pain.
*All credit goes to 3 Doors Down* I really love this song, it relates to me so much. If you've never heard this song, look it up.
You ask if i’m okay. I lie. And say i’m fine. Plastering a fake smile on my face. I bite my tongue. Before I can change my mind. You ask if i’m okay. I lie. And say i’m fine.
Grey skies invade my horizon they're shutting out my sun. I'm feeling deflated, don't like it, and from it I want to run. Darkness falls stifling my optimism, preventing my smiles.
(This is a story a friend and I started a long time ago as elementary students that we never finished. Here's the first chapter we wrote. I hope you all enjoy.
I hate to see you so sad and falling into a pit of depression. I want to pull you out and wrap you in my arms. Don't go I'm here to help, I'm your friend you can trust me.
If I close my eyes tight. And block out the world. Then will everything be okay. If I pray and pray. And wish on my lucky stars. Then will everything be okay. If I put on a smile.
If I hide beneath my quilt, Maybe it will go. If I bury under sheets, Nobody here will know. If I smile and wave my hand, It'll be just like I'm fine, If I laugh along with you, It'll be as if I...
I awoke only to find my lungs empty. And through the night, so it seems I'm not breathing. And now my dreams, are nothing like they were meant to be. And I'm breaking down, I think I'm breaking down.
Beautiful liar, why are you so shy. what do you hide. for what do you cry. Beautiful liar, don't you know it'll be alright. don't you see you'll be fine tonight. can't you tell you don't need to cry.
You rise, rise, rise up, Like a puff of smoke. A saffron fire Wrapping me like a cloak. You are ignorant Leaving me below. I'm suffocating, You continue to grow. I yell out to you Listen to my plea.
I have felt it once, I don't wish it on anybody. I have felt the sadness, Threatening to pull me under. I know how it feels, Like a knife to the heart. The neverending darkness, Creeping on my life.
I'm trapped between my heart and my mind, My mind telling me what's wrong, My heart telling me what's right, My heart telling me to stay because I love her, My mind telling me to move on.
She's my best friend. She's my everything. We do everything together and tell each other everything. We get into trouble a lot and are total idiots in public. I know how I feel about her. I love her.
It's a crystal like feeling Of pure emptiness. Hollow on the inside, There is nothing to be caressed. It means nothing at all really. It's just like being glass.
She's not looking for someone to tell her that she's pretty, or to hear their pity. She's just looking for an escape, this world is not her fate.

It's getting harder to stand tall All I want for now is to just fall It's not self pity and not a desperate call Never done them and don't like them at all Just want to hide for a while Get under my...
Laying here awake while you slumber All I do is lay here and wonder Why am I so gullible for you Why do I believe what you say is true I want to punch a wall But what will that solve You'll still...
It's that feeling you get when no words come out, When all you want is to forget that you even tried, The palm of your hands sweat and you start to jitter, When yet again you know that you're still...
