Maybe I'M Invisible

You speak but they can't hear
All of the times not being aware
That you've secretly shed a tear
Maybe I'm invisible

They look but they can't see
The bird that wants to be freed
From the cage that takes away its chance to be.
Maybe I'm invisible 

How different would life seem
If they joined me in their team,
But a dream is just a dream.
Maybe I'm invisible.

If only a friend
Could comprehend
My existence and send 
A hug of comfort to mend
My lonely heart.

But its easy to see
 And its easy to be
Invisible

Change

If the stars had eyes to see,
Would they look down at me
Would they like how I've become?
Or would they prefer to look at the sun?

If the wind had lungs to speak
Would they tell me that I was weak
Would they sing me a melody
Or would they make me sound like nobody

If the rain had a heart
Would they split mine apart?
Would they choose to fall on me 
And give me love as a new start?

If I were to look upon myself 
Would I still look like the person in the picture on the shelf
Have I changed so much that I can't even recognize
The person I now look upon, terrified.

Change shouldn't be a bad thing
If your heart wants to harmonize, let it sing,
You shouldn't change for anyone 
But the heart of only one

Yourself

Fear

Its a disease of the mind,
Where some people find
Its hard to breathe.
Its hard to see
Its hard to know whats around you.
Your body gets stiff
And you feel the need to grip
On to anything surrounding you.
Your eyes search for a light
But its out of sight
Because your eyes are shut with fear.
Fear
Fear
Your breathing is uneasy
Your stomach gets queezy
Fear
Fear
Muscles tight
With all this fright
Fear
Fear
Emotions are high
Tears ready to cry
Fear
You can't get rid of this fear.
