Game Of Strings.

Frustrated,
Life's complicated,
Trials and tribulations,
Spotlighting revelations,

Appreciate the simple things,
Like the happiness children bring,
The best things in life are free,
Like moonlit walks and family,

It's just today's not the simple things,
Its a game of puppeteers and their strings,
I'm the puppet in this game,
When I've snipped the strings it's you I'll blame,

When the strings are ridden,
Ill no longer be hidden,
My body won't lie limp,
Ill no longer on life scrape and scrimp,

No longer restrained by the ties,
Of the puppeteers games and lies,
An individual pleasing herself,
No longer left lifeless on the shelf.

Dont Laugh At Me

When you laugh at me. You laugh at the sea. You laugh at the flowers and bumble bees. When you laugh at me. Your just a wannabe. A girl with a treasure chest. Missing the key. When you laugh at me.

Anymore

I can't deal with it. Anymore. Won't hold me down. Anymore. Won't shove me to the ground. Anymore. Won't tell me I'm wrong. Anymore. I won't be taking so long. Anymore. Won't make me sad. Anymore.

No

I will not fall to your every command, I will not allow you to reprimand, I will not listen to your cursing, You can start reimbursing, You can't control me any longer, I've learnt to become stronger.

I'm Alive!

Nothing I say comes out right, I can't love without a fight, no one knows my name, when I pray for sun it rains.

If You're Feeling Brown...

I'm feeling blue, But that's not quite so true, When I'm feeling down, I'd say I feel brown. Brown. Am I crazed. A statement well placed, But brown, you will see, Is like bark on a tree.
