In the abyss
Floating
Arms like tendrils of hair in the thrashing sea
Body suspended
supported
Suspended.
Feeling no pull
Having no direction
eyes Open but seeing nothing
mind Quiet and numb
a Breeze
it blows you away
you've lost Yourself.
with only the hope of finding It again.
Sweet Nothings From a Head Full of Somethings

What Makes you Better?
Why must you be the best?
Isn't it lonely at the top?
Why do I have to be skinny?
Won't that make me a hollow shell?
Why can't I get your approval?
Don't you ever want to be loved?
Why do I care what you think?
Aren't you just labeling me for convenience?
Why am I not good enough?
Why do you need me to be different?
Why is there always something wrong with me?
Why do I sit alone at night and feel this way?
Why do I let you in?
Why don't I just shut out the world?
Why not just refuse to feel?
Why?
Because I'm stronger
Because I'm better
Because I will do what I can to make things right.
I will never be what others want me to be.
Therefore, I will only be what I want to be.
I want to be free.

A song
Impassioned I live
Disheartened I die
Perhaps we should try to live our lives
in a way that disqualifies
All things from hate
to change our current state.
Perhaps we dare
to come together and share
Take as much time
to notice the sublime
Perhaps it's time to find
a certain peace of mind
A place that will love
without a push or shove
Perhaps we should come to know
exactly what we chose to show
To those that we care for
for whom we will always be there for.
Perhaps you should ask
if it's not too great a task
Why is difference so bad?
what can I add?
Perhaps it's time to stop
all of those words that seem to pop
The bubbles of safety
pointing out others' insecurities.
Perhaps it's time to take a stand
make it known through all the land;
I am more than your projected image
i will always hold an advantage
Perhaps it's time to teach,
sit, and listen; and not to preach
Let those that make our future
be less concerned with haute couture
Perhaps we need to think
bring back the power of ink;
Let our brains have a field day
While we return to the right way.
Perhaps we learn from those who die
that all's not lost, we'll all get by
That we should live our life
with very little strife.
Perhaps it's time to end this song
for it seems to be a tad too long
But do not leave this stagnant
just take a stand and please be adamant.
Perhaps I can make you choose
to always Love, and never lose.

Him
I don't know if I can tell you,
(I really wish I could)
The feelings he's hiding
Are not things he should
I don't know if I can tell him,
(I don't know if I would)
The feelings I'm hiding
Just trying to be good.
He doesn't know if he can tell them,
(He knows that he should)
The feelings he's hiding
For fear of being misunderstood.
(I really wish I could)
The feelings he's hiding
Are not things he should
I don't know if I can tell him,
(I don't know if I would)
The feelings I'm hiding
Just trying to be good.
He doesn't know if he can tell them,
(He knows that he should)
The feelings he's hiding
For fear of being misunderstood.

Sonority
I have no arms
No hands, no fingers.
I have none of these
Yet, I touch you.
I have no physical strength
No tactile ability
Yet, I move you.
I reach deep into your depths
Finding your joy
Your pain
Finding it all
Drawing it out
Making you feel
Forcing you to remember.
All these things I do;
And more.
Never was one so strong
Music can conquer all.
No hands, no fingers.
I have none of these
Yet, I touch you.
I have no physical strength
No tactile ability
Yet, I move you.
I reach deep into your depths
Finding your joy
Your pain
Finding it all
Drawing it out
Making you feel
Forcing you to remember.
All these things I do;
And more.
Never was one so strong
Music can conquer all.

Uncontrollable.
A mind
Totally uncontrollable
Thoughts come from everywhere, and cannot be stopped
My mind
Is uncontrollable
Stresses, ideas, emotions, commands, demands, everything coming in split second motion
To stop would be peace
To stop would mean death
To slow would be appreciated
To slow would be ridiculed
To speed would be productive
To speed would cause destruction
I must go on
I must press on.
Think, breathe, think, move, think feel, think, speak, think, calm, think, Scream, think, cry, think, ache, think, breathe, think, love, think, help, think run, think, see, think, share, think, think, think
Think.
Uncontrollably
Totally uncontrollable
Thoughts come from everywhere, and cannot be stopped
My mind
Is uncontrollable
Stresses, ideas, emotions, commands, demands, everything coming in split second motion
To stop would be peace
To stop would mean death
To slow would be appreciated
To slow would be ridiculed
To speed would be productive
To speed would cause destruction
I must go on
I must press on.
Think, breathe, think, move, think feel, think, speak, think, calm, think, Scream, think, cry, think, ache, think, breathe, think, love, think, help, think run, think, see, think, share, think, think, think
Think.
Uncontrollably
