Hey, stranger

I catch glimpses of him in mirrors

That strange boy

He's so shy, but he's so loving 

Yet most treat him like a toy

 

He wanders the empty streets alone

No one can see him

He is there

But a chance at viewing him is slim

 

He puts on a dress,

Keeps his hair long

He hides who he is

Yet he knows he could belong 

 

The fear he carries is unmatched 

A sense of dread accompanies it

What if I'm wrong?

With those words, another fire is lit

 

If that one boy could see him,

He wouldn't be so afraid 

He wouldn't hide his face 

A new person would be made

  • Nothing anymore

    For years when I would look at your face, I saw my future, my life, my whole world in your eyes, but today I for once just saw your face. The same lips that I had once longed to kiss, the same eyes that I would get lost in, yet I felt nothing.

  • Counting backwards

    I'll push my dull heart down

    Anytime you need me to

    And you'll never hear me

    Beg you under my breath 

    Not to leave me

     

    You looked at me

    Like I'm a horrible 

    Burden just now

  • On a scale

    I look in the mirror 

    Like any girl my age

    But I'm repulsed in horror 

    At what is on stage

     

    I look at those numbers 

    Wait for them to go down again 

    114, 113, 112
