Broken Smile

May 29th, 2005

I see the girl
With the broken smile
She’s in the mirror
And has been lost for a while
She’s disappeared
Into an empty dark place
And the only thing left of her
Is her picture
No smile on her face
No evidence to trace
I’m the only one who sees her
Nobody even wants to be her
Her broken smile is on her face
Her shattered heart beats one last time
And that broken smile on her face
That broken smile’s mine

Not Feeling Too Well

February 2nd, 2005

I’m not feeling too well
I wish that I could just slip away
And fall to hell
Feelings are growing too deep
They’re so strong
And the sound of your voice
Makes me weak
I’m trying to stand up again
But I keep falling down
I’m jotting down the first thing on my mind
Why does life give us eyes
Only to make us feel so blind

Burning

August 13th, 2018

I’ve been siloed
You’re triggering my depression
I don’t know how to handle
All your passive aggression
You corned me
You robbed all my possibilities
You left me with nothing
But your hostility
Your actions differ
Then what you said were your intentions
When I wanted you to notice me
I got your inattention
This feeling is ineluctable
I’m overwhelmed by your censure
This building is filling
With nothing but tensure
I’m gasping for air
I need to respire
But this feeling won’t resolve
If I don’t step out of the fire
