I look up into your eyes
They are clouded with pain
I know it is my fault
I have hurt you again
You hold my hands down
I know I can't escape you
I cannot hide it anymore
My past speaks what is true
I've lied to you
I know that I did
I did it for a reason
To hide what I hid
I may regret it
But we cannot go back
I don't know how to make up
For the qualities that I lack
My life isn't bad
Though I said that it was
You ask me why I did it
All I can say is "Just because"
I never said I was perfect
Though I feel that I must
I try and I try
So I can have your trust
A long time ago
I once said "yes"
I risked all that I was
And I gave nothing less
I was scared and still am
I've been hurt way too much
I thought it would be fine
And I've told you such
I'm beginning to think
That my judgement was wrong
I love you so much
But you've been gone way too long
I hurt when you're gone
I hurt when you're here
But I want nothing more
Than you to be near
You're sorry when you leave
But are you sorry when you come back
Are you the kind of person
Who would talk behind my back?
I don't think that you are
But how would I know
I feel the world that I see
Is all a big show
You cause me pain
But that's what I like
If you cannot take it
Just take a hike
You've had many lovers
And several "good fucks"
I'm probably just one of them
Knowing my luck
I can live with that
I really don't care
All I need to know
Is that you are there
Past, present, future
And things that can't be
I care for you
But do you care for me
I dedicate this to one person and one person alone... You know who you are...
I'm not who I was...
I show who I'm not...
I hate who I show...
I fear who I hate...
I am who I fear...
I curse who I am...
I hurt who I curse...
I damned who I hurt...
I forgot who I damned...
I am who I forgot...
I was who I am...
I killed who I was...
I... I kill... killed...
Killing is fun...
Fun is good...
Good is evil...
Evil is everywhere...
Everywhere is Past...
Bleeding is life...
Life is pure...
Pure is dark...
Dark is near...
Near is Present...
Hurting is feeling...
Feeling is living...
Living is dying...
Dying is eternal...
Eternal is Future...
Past... Present... Future...
What about what can never be?
It... shall... be... because... It... shall... Just because...
...It shall...
Living a lie
Never gonna fly
Can never be me
Strong, I've always gotta be
I'm not strong, I'm weak
I'm only strong when I speak
I edit my words
So my weakness will never occur
I live my life saying "it's all good,"
Who can grow up without a childhood
I've been through more than anyone should
And if I never had to go through it again, I would
Living with a mask
And playing so many rolls
Putting my feelings last
That definitly takes its toll
Self injury doesn't work
It only ruins your pants and shirts
Over dosing doesn't work
It only makes you hurt worse
I've tried
I've lied
I can't do it much longer
I'm waiting for that hunger
I won't have to wear my mask
I can live and never look back
I can focus on my larger task
I can move, I won't have to carry the sack
My past consists of horrid stories
I've been to hell and back
I've lived so far, that is my only glory
I carry these secrets, it's a heavy sack
I've locked myself in my room
I didn't allow myself to bloom
The world is frightful
It is the furthest from delightful
This year we moved
I said, "Screw the booze"
I tried to start over
Life still isn't a four-leaf clover
This isn't mine... It is something that a friend wrote about her life and I think that it sort of applies to mine as well... I hope that you liked what she had to say...
