Lost At Sea

May 29th, 2011

The look in your eyes
Became my demise
I get carried away
I can’t hear what they say
The feelings still there
The butterflies everywhere
I’m melting inside
From you, I can’t hide
I don’t know if it’s real
I don’t know how you feel
This isn’t me
I’m lost at sea
This lifeguard can’t save me
I think I’m going crazy
They have my devotion
But I’m drowning in your ocean

Trash

December 2nd, 2020

Mascara settles around my eyes
Into crevices like dust
Excuses litter around me
The trash you never picked up
Yet I’m swept under a rug
And the thread’s coming undone
Only so much left to lose
Before I must succumb

The Prison of My Skin

January 4th, 2010

The dark surrounding followed me
This is something more
The spinning room is haunting me
No exit and no door
And everything is moving
And I can’t make it go away
And after all this time
I’ve lost track of all the days
And laying down I fell right through
There’s no stable place
So weak and just so dizzy
But this is something I have to face
This is nothing that I knew
I’m learning by the time
And I can’t hold on to what matters
Because nothing’s ever mine
And no one’s ever honest
And no one ever cares
And the more it seems I need someone
The more they’re never there
And I mess up and make mistakes
It’s who I’m trapped to be
But lately, I just feel so lost
I hate to know this is me
I hate to face my mirror
I hate how I feel inside
I hate being trapped in my body
Because there’s nowhere I can hide
I can’t escape this prison
My skin just fits too tight
And I’m searching for emotion
But nothing ever just feels right
I hate looking the same
I don’t reflect my soul
And every time I need someone
I let that person go
I never hurt the right way
I just can’t feel the pain
I can’t make myself happy
And I can’t keep myself sane
And here I am inside
I’ve been dying to be free
I just need to move on
Because the girl in the mirror’s not me
My skin is closing in
I can only feel the guilt
Because I did this to myself
Because I dropped the walls I built
So I’ll put them all back up
And I’ll set myself free
Because I can’t hold on to my sanity
In a prison built for me
