Saving Lullaby

Hush little voices, please don't cry
This is my saving lullaby
The things you say are just not nice
Just go away, let me live my life

Hush little voices, please be still
The things you shout are cruel and evil
You cut me up and put me down
The way you see, I want to drown

Hush little voices, please allow me sleep
You're bad for me, just let me be
Your words taste like a bitter pill
The way you think is making me ill

Hush little voices, please go away
I wish to live another day
And with the mocking bird's wings
I shall fly higher than you can sing

Lost In My Mind

I am lost in my mind, sinister snake,. Swallowing me whole, it begins to take,. Sliding me Anxiety a bit of depression,. Infecting me with confusion no chance for retribution,.

Silence

Some say silence is golden, But to me, silence is killer. I'm not sure why, But I can't stand silence. I can't sit it either. Silence and I are mortal enemies.

Anxiety

I'm sat all alone. Here in my chair. No ones inside. They've all gone out there. I'm to afraid. To move off my seat. The people they scare me. The ones that I'd meet. I'll crack and I'll crumble.

Happy?

I've read around and I hear you say, That today is Opuss's happiness day. I fished around, and found my smile, I don't wear it very often, it ain't my style.

In My Head

There's a thing. Goin' round. An' it don't. Make a sound. Make's me scream. In my mind. Never leaves me. Behind. It's a voice. Human like. What it says. I dislike. Tells me things. In my head.

Pain

Battered and broken. Someone outspoken. Light turned dark. Forever the mark. So much pain I'm gone. Tears now all done. Living in the pain. The tears the rain. Everything flew away.

Pointless

Today, I woke up feeling murderous. I want to hurt someone, or just laugh out loud at someone else's misery.

Fading

I could just fade away for a few hours no one would notice. Maby they might realise their life became easyer. No one would care. I wouldn't be able to fade away i have too much colour.
