I want to take a knife to my chest
Cut into the mounds of flesh sitting there.
They are lies
A false identity.
They cannot be hidden
Like what's below the belt.
Under every shirt
There they sit
Visible to all.
No one will ever know
That you're not what they see.
How can an emotion
Cause the heart
To feel a strong sense
Of pain?
How can
A simple thought
Paralyze
The whole body?
How can one thing
Have so much control
Over one person
And their life?
She hides in the clothes she's supposed to wear. Skirts and shorts with girly sandals and flowing tank tops. She feels so wrong, like she's committing a crime. Yet no one seems to notice.
He hides behind her. Never to be seen. He wouldn't fit in. Cargos and flannels with Converse shoes just wouldn't work out. He has to stay back, out of sight.
She smiles and laughs, but on the inside she is dead. She doesn't want to exist anymore.
He cries and pleads to be free, in the light. He wants to exist.
She thinks she's hideously fat. She is constantly on the scale, trying to please the people around her.
He doesn't care how he looks. If he could
You're right there. Oh my god, you're right there in front of me.
You reach your hand out to me. "Take it."
I go to grasp your hand...
And my fingers go right through yours.
Damn it. A dream.
Always a dream.
I want to hold you, kiss you, touch you.
But reality isn't always reachable.
I want to kill the butterfly
Shred it's wings
Mutilate it's small body
This parasite is killing me
Sucking at my heart
Tearing at my soul
It's a beautiful creature
Very deceptive
Easily steals your love
She's a vixen
She's a rebel
She's not mine
I'm not okay
I'm not okay
I'm not o-fucking-kay
She lets them go
From her tiny hands
Lets them fly
She takes a stand
Little girl
All alone
No one to love
No one to hold
She walks on by
Shedding tears
Forever silent
Always in fear
She lets them go
From her tiny hands
Lets them fly
She takes a stand
She passes by
The park one day
Watches the children
Laugh and play
Looks up to see
Some heart balloons
She steps outside
of her cocoon
She lets them go
From her tiny hands
Lets them fly
She takes a stand
She buys a few
She starts to smile
Sor once in her life
It stays for a while
She thinks things through
Sorts them out
Letting go of her treasures
She begins to
The ache in my limbs
Grows stronger each day
The weight on my heart
Continues to get heavier
This depression is killing me
All these things are slicing my skin
I'll bleed to death
If it all continues
