Burning
I'm burning
I'm burning myself out
And I will take everyone down with me
All my relationships
Myself
Burning
I want to
Just lose it
Just say what I mean
I'm so tired of this
I'm burning
I'm burning myself out
And I will take everyone down with me
All my relationships
Myself
Burning
I want to
Just lose it
Just say what I mean
I'm so tired of this
"Yeah I get it".
No you don't.
No, you don't!
Like fire
My temper
Everywhere.
I haven't been truly angry in a while
Not that I'll ever let you see.
Angry that he
The brick
The songbird sings of hope
Hope it does not own
In pure silence, it copes
Aching all alone
It ensures joy to all
To all but itself
These metal bars trap me
But they will never catch my mind
It sees things others can’t
If they someday do, they will find:
An endless, magnificent sky
I hate that all that's left
of your memory
is a couple of Polaroids
A couple of photos I snapped because I didn't know what else to take photos of
I hate that.
Nothing could ever capture your spirit
Clumsy
Clunky
I've had bad days but not like this
Why isn't it falling into place?
It feels like I'm forcing my fingers to move
And they're not in sync with my brain
the room smelled sweet
sweetness a mix between
the sterile and calm
a sweet temptation just out of my reach
Teenage love is different from adult love,
we love hard,
raw.
We love with the hopes that we will find the one,
innocent to the ways that the 'one' will change over and over again,
Looking at you two
as you "dance" on the "dance floor"
which is really just an empty spot on the ground
as you hold hands awkwardly
though enjoying it
as you experience feelings that I've never experienced before.
I've recently found myself back in my shell
Pretending to be someone I'm not
And I think I know why.
I've pulled back from people
Only interacting with animals and strangers online
This is from a much longer story in verse I'm writing, so it's quite out-of-context, but I really liked how this stanza turned out. Sometimes, like today, just one perfect-seeming part lights up my day.
Two kids
The song
The beat
The rhythm
You know the rhythm, don't you?
Pulling you up
Pulling you to me
Out there
I know it's scary
Couldn't we let go and not care
Just for tonight?
