The Questions of Your Words

You tell me to just let it go and forgive,

Yet whenever I try, you remind me of my sins,

I just want to let it go.

But you can’t help but call me crazy,

Say that you can’t save me,

Am I really that far gone?

“Of course not, baby”

But do you really mean it if the next day you’re yellin’ at me for bleedin’?

For grieving who I used to be?

Like I want to be in pain,

Like I’m the one to blame,

Now you’re callin’ me insane.

“You’re wrong, Daniela”

Do my eyes deceive?

So what to believe?

You with blind trust?

“I did it out of love.”

So what is love?

And what is life?

Am I a mistake?

Or did I just stray?

  • Demons

    If I'm being honest,

    I'm not sure I'll survive,

    These demons,

    I battle,

    Fighting for my life.


     

    They find me at my weakest,

    Where no light shines through,

  • Learn to Fall

    I get it, you have it worse,

    I get it, you're in pain,

    I get it, I don't matter,

    Not to you, anyway.

    So when you call my name,

    I shall fast come running,

    Leave myself behind,

    Even as I'm losing time.

  • What a mother should be

    I'm tired of the yelling,

    I just wish that it would stop.

    And I'm tired of the lectures, 

    Saying all I am is wrong.

    I’m tired of the bruises,

    And these voices in my head.
