hey you,yes you, the person reading this?I've been there too you know.swept under by the waves of depressioncrippled by dark thoughts curled up on the floor as sobs raked through my body
Someone told me to write a song about confidenceBut it's something I have a problem withWhat's the point in believing in yourselfIf you continue to get help from someone elseI tryI cryI look up to the sky
Step up to the mic
Testing one, two, three
Center stage everyone
Wait, but there are no people to see
All of a sudden a voice is heard
“Look around my dear”
So I do, I see nothing, so I reply
I do something small
And it turns into an elephant sitting on my head
These words I hear
A hammer beating me down
I don't like myself
My insecurities screaming so loud
Nobody likes you
Dear Hunter,
The name of the person who had used the computer before me,
Had been Hunter McDonald.
There I was in the computer lab,
Sitting in front of my assigned computer,
I understand what you’ve been through
it’s horrible stuff.
I know your smile is a mask,
an attempt to look tough.
Hold me tight tonight
Don't let me go
Hold me tight tonight
As fat tears flow
Hold me tight tonight
As my sorrows grow
Hold me tight tonight
Please pull me close
Hold me tight tonight
I've kept quiet for months thinking I got better, thinking "this is fine now, I'm fine now, life is decent now." Oh a fool with eyes shut and ears covered knows just as well as I do this is long term.
How do I sound?
Through the smile I place on my face
Sometimes I sound like tears (I’m choking back)
From the strain of all of this weight on my shoulders
Out the window, carried on clouds
On a day so listless I can't hear a sound
Silence so loud no thoughts are clear
is there some unwritten law
that states crying is wrong
can we not cry in public
for all to see
is it wrong to show emotion
whenever we feel raw
can we cram it into a song
A world with no style would be astronomical
With no one caring what you wear
But life in this generation is just too different
It's not about what you like to wear
Twilight engulfs me.
I lose myself within its shadows.
I no longer exist.
I am part of the faceless dark.
I hate the night.
Beneath the moonlight
I make my way,
Clearing out the fog
From the glare of day.
The darkness tempts
But does not take.
She dances to me,
But does not seduce.
I do not deny her,
He didn't even know me.
he passed me by like a river's torrent
smoothly, he grumbled, "Nice shirt FAG!"
I am a girl who loves a girl
And believes in the Bible too
There’s a fight in my head
It’s not a fight to the death
It’s a fight to realize who
Knows what it means to love.
Man shall not lay with man
