I believe in John Lennon because he told me all I need is love, & to me that seems pretty accurate.
I had planned on saying goodbye. But I hate goodbyes, so I'll leave you with this: "Time you enjoy wasting, was not wasted." - John Lennon..
Your feet crunch loudly on the ground. A retched, hollow burning sound. In your chest your heart does pound. You are the lost waiting to be found. Your skinny legs continue to sway.
She is the girl that you first see, The diamond in the room. She is the one that everyone knows, Attention is her perfume. She is the girl that morphs herself Into ugly, raging lies.
You stomp on sacred graves, Taking more than you can bear. When you don't claim victory Your obscenities fill the air. Your veiled eyes make it hard to see The damage you have done.
If you have no place to run to, I will make one. Mold it from the shape of my heart and hands And ship it to you, so far away. I promise the night will never come, And your mind will never fail you.
You can try as you will, But I'll do just as I please. I've never been one to bargain, So don't go begging on your knees. Don't ever tell me how to live, Or what to think or say.
Loneliness tears at you, Scrapes you inside out. Broken, buried dreams Cause you to scream and shout. You cower down in fear, Fear of what we've all become.
"You can build a future out of anything. A scrap, a flicker. The desire to go forward, slowly, one foot at a time. You can build an airy city out of ruins.".
He always stands up straight and tall, As he is never allowed to fall. He cannot show that he is weak, Even if his life seems so bleak.
I'll dig you up from your roots, Then you can sing the blues. Analyze every note So that you keep in tune. If I dig you up by the roots, There's no way you can break.
You used to not have a care in the world, I loved how you looked so free. But your spirit gradually began to fall Because of what you saw on tv.
I've made so many mistakes, dear, I've earned your distrust. I've lied and sinned and stolen, And now I'm covered in thick rust. I know you don't believe a word I say, But what I whisper now is true.
Once upon a time, There was a fragile girl. She wasn't locked away in a tower Or destined for world. She wasn't daughter to a king and queen, A pride of all around.
Yes, I am a teenager, But I'm not just what you think. Don't stereotype what you don't know, I'm not some missing link. I don't drink or smoke or party too much, It's fine if you don't believe me.
You sit upon a broken chair, Don't you move, you wouldn't dare. They tell you exactly what to do, Never know what they'll say to you.
Enough is never really enough─somebody always wants more. The hunger for power, money, fame...it always gets you in the end.
You stood so far away. I didn't know what to say. I couldn't find the words. But maybe I will someday. You stood in a stranger's spot. I think you've become lost. So far from who I remember.
How much would it take for you to break. How many drilling lies and fakes, Could you stand before you drown. Before they pull you down. How much pressure would it take For your mind to bake.
A man of many words, Yet all of them are harsh. A grouch for all he's worth, Picks you clean apart. Like a troll under the bridge, Always lying in wait. For prey to pass above, Relying plain on fate.
She tried to tell them, "I'm hurting," But they only heard, "I'm fine." She pretended she wasn't lonely, None of them read between the lines.
Sorry baby, but the media says You weigh too much and you look a mess. Sorry baby, I heard it on TV, You're clearly depressed if you're that skinny.
Gossip is all I hear from you, It drips right past your lips Like water, only it's not blue, It's black as your fingertips. I'd like to stick you with a pin, To see what's really inside.
I just got on opuss to realize that I went from a rank of 19 to a rank of 104. I was actually sad about that.
I have watched you in your misdemeanor, My disturbed face is getting greener. You're at the mirror for an hour, Your thoughts are getting unpleasantly sour.
The emotion police are wreaking havoc inside of me, Handing out fines to all of my organs Because they are underpaid and fear unemployment.
I crawl away from my mistakes, But you pull me back into your embrace. And it makes me say "home" Though I deserve to be left alone. No, I don't want you to go, Because you stand me up when I'm low.
"Oh, court jester, please do something new, Better entertainment is what you need to pursue." The puzzled clown was already worn out, Searching for something that didn't make the king pout.
I pledge my life to the skull and bones On the flag above our bloody thrones. There is no light to muffle my ways, Because I lurk in the night and drift past the days.
They whisper that I scream and kick, A hopeless case the meds can't fix. The invisible nurses surround me, Oh, don't take me from my reverie.
"Are you okay?" They pretend they want to know. I see right through their façade But I don't tell them so. "Are you happy?" If it satisfies them, then yes.
I would never really know How empty you could grow Until you were nothing at all. I would never really hear Your cries, so pained and dear Until the quiet that would befall.
In my chest are pins and needles, My hands and feet are painfully numb. My mouth is sewn tightly shut, Stopping the words upon my tongue. My eyes, I'd rather were blind, My heart is split in two.
I remember the night when your blood ran cold, Shivered in shock at your vacant soul. The black endless night when you said you were fine, Because you never thought I'd read between the lines.
The wind whistled through the trees, Reviving them with its song. Coaxing all the droning bees To guiltily sing along. It danced upon the flowers, Enchanting in its ways.
Please don't wake up, darling. The sky is falling down. In a world where unknown people. Will always push you around. Please don't wake up, darling. From your untroubled dreams.
I admit that I thought there was only me, Please don't ask me why. I won't tell you it was what you said To make me feel so undead, Because without you, I won't die.
Ask me what I'm thinking, Ask me who I am. Ask me if I've lost my mind, Of sanity, I'm not a fan. I can assure you, you don't know me, So please don't assume a thing.
Still four to go, but fourteen down I'll finally get away from this town Everybody that had wished me away Will happily celebrate on this day Fourteen down, now four to go Get me out before I'm too...
The blank white page was staring at me, Burning a hole into my skin. Begging me to reveal my secrets Of all I've ever been. I took my pencil to the reflective page, And wrote out my full name.
I used to know a troubled girl, So careless and naive. She let endless people into her heart, Never asking them to leave. It didn't matter what they looked like, Only what they said.
Last summer we stole the ocean, Kept it away in a jar. That way when we left the beach The memory wouldn't be far. We watched it swirl and crash around, For only our eyes to see.
She was standing all alone In the middle of the crowd, While everybody pointed, Made jokes and laughed so loud. I saw tears sparkling in her eyes, But she was silent through it all.
Rumor's in the air, Whispered through the sea of tales, Hope it won't reach you..
They told me I couldn't, so I proved them wrong. They recited their speeches while I sang a song. Told wicked lies to move me to tears, So I opened up and showed them my fears.
You'll never know what I have to say, By the time you do, I'll have faded away. Falling Flying Plunging to foreseen defeat And the unknown thoughts you soon will meet.
"People say I make strange choices, but they're not strange for me. My sickness is that I'm fascinated by human behavior, by what's underneath the surface, by the world's inside people." -johnny...
You're burdened and scared, And don't know where to go, But you can always call for me. Your heart stops short, And your lungs cave in, But I've seen far worse than you.
Crash. Burn. Fall. Hurt. Broken. Failed. Done. Stop. Up. Crawl. Walk. Move. Run. Free. Escape..
A thick, pressing dust covers every inch of my world, as far as the eye can see. It chokes me, makes it hard to breathe. But I am used to not breathing.
The moon looms above me, A blinding and lonely guide, The only thing I can see In this forsaken, wretched world. This place no one has ever been before.
If you lay down and shut your eyes, The world will still revolve. Though it may bring final peace to you, Not one problem will it resolve.
I am five again, When time was on my side, Staining paper with crayons And the nonsense phrases of my imagination.
You hide behind your concrete wall Of shameful memories, Dreading all the things that made you fall And lose your sense of ease. An endless sea between your heart and head, Impossible to cross.
It prowls inside of him, Lurking in the darkest places And hunting his heart. Rakes through his stomach And claws up his throat When he thinks he's okay.
A thousand eyes glare at me, A thousand hands push me down. A thousand lips scream obscenities But I don't hear a sound. Pulled in every direction, I can't handle anymore.
I see her only because we are standing face to face. I stare at her and she stares back with the same eyes, But I do not know her.
"So I’ve decided. I’m not chasing my dreams anymore. I’m after a heightened reality.
Time after time, I am knocked down. Fight after fight, I end on the ground. The air of life is pushing on me, Is it too much to ask for room to breathe.
Wake Up Quick. They are coming, coming, Blood in their eyes. Gunpowder on their faces. Fire in their hands. Destruction in their hearts And your house is the target.
There is a man outside shedding his skin on the street, Because no one has told him his life's on repeat. Society tells him he likes it that way, Sketched black and white, void of gray.
