Take me
Take me to the rooftop
And let me see the beauty
That for so long I’ve been unable to see
Take me to the rooftop.
Take in a breath of air so fresh
I come alive again
But soon decay with pain
Take in a breath of air so fresh.
Take me to the edge and let me feel the thrill
Adrenaline means my heart rate elevates
But soon that feeling dissipates
Take me to the edg...

A mother’s mask
My mum is so beautiful, the flowers are angered.
A picture of health, the doctors cowered.
Her voice so tuneful, birds shy away.
Her soul so perfect, to their dismay.
But look closer.
Her mask is coming away.
She can no longer hide it; from the world, her lover and from her daughter
My mum is so tired, but refuses to sleep just yet
So ill but won’t get h...

Senses
Help me I scream
but no one hear.
Fix me I write
but no one sees.
I’m full of pain
but no one feels.
I stink of suffering
but no one smells.
Words on my tongue
but no one tastes.
I’m alone I whisper
but I cannot function.

Expectations
all the demands, pressure and expectations are far too high for someone so small to grasp.
Reaching so deperately to something I canning clasp.
Would you you care if I gave up and walked away from my dreams?
because surely they’re more yours than mine, that’s how it seems.
If if I just stopped longing for acceptance and decided to ‘do me’.
Would you force me to continu...

Mum
My heart is slightly broken,
and I’m afraid for you to see me cry.
The thought I fear the most,
echos what if you shall die?
I wish upon a thousand stars,
and every rainbow too,
that God almighty with his strength and power,
won’t leave me without you.
But if alas he does,
and I don’t know what to do,
just promise that you’ll hold me,
very near to you.

Dear Society
Dear society,
You don’t see the floods of tears behind my bedroom door
Or the way I gasp for breath desperately wanting more.
Dear society,
You see the cuts on my wrist that I try to shield
And no, its not just for attention ‘cus I wish I could be healed.
Dear society,
You don’t see the texts I’m sent
The ones with the unapproving and self-deprecating content.
Dear society,
You see...

Jumping for peace
I saw the pain in his eyes as he closed them for the last time.
I could almost hear his thoughts, as he continued to climb.
I saw the fake smile that was crookedly painted on his lips.
I could almost hear the words of his family as they had to come to grips.
I saw the tear roll down his untouched pale cheek.
I could almost hear the words he was too fragile to speak.

Definition of Beauty
I used to think sitting up high and looking at the city was the perfect release.
If I just stopped and watched the world, all of my pain would cease.
Its my perfect definition of beauty,
Blocking out the world and only focusing on me.
How was I to know that isolating myself would cause such pain,
Because I swear, if I knew, I wouldn’t have done it again.
I unintentionally...

No longer
The birds still sing,
but it’s a sorrowful tune.
A friendship once cherished,
now gone so soon.
A heart once happy,
now a heart of regret.
The loss of a friend,
makes me oh so upset.
The birds no longer sing,
and there are no beats from my heart.
All because your selfishness,
dragged us further apart.

If only
Your imperfection make you perfect
Your flaws cause me to love you.
Seeing you brings a smile to my face
if only the feelings were reciprocated too.
My my heart flutters with excitement
All I can do is smile.
If only you loved me too
Then you could perhaps hold me for a while.
The array of cute jumpers you own
and tight jeans you wear.
Cause me to fall ha...

Help me
I constantly get asked the same question "how are you today?",
And I subconsciously give the answer "thanks for asking I'm okay".
But is it really okay,
To think day after day.
That the only problem is my life,
And it can be resolved by a very sharp knife.
Is it normal to come to the resolution,
That all your friends just feel confusion.
At the fact you would ...

The only difference
The only difference between you and I,
Is not you wish to live and I to die.
But you live to cause pain and sorrow,
And I'm just trying to make until tomorrow.
