College Boyfriend: High School Girlfriend

Honey can't you see I'm trying here?
Honey don't you understand I wish I were there?
I know you want me home but I've got my classes here.
Honey I'm having so much fun, 
making new friends and all.
Honey I wish you were here with me.
Things are changing here and I wish you could see.

Baby where'd you go?
Baby won't you please come back home? 
I know you have your classes, 
but baby so do I.
Baby I know you're having fun out there,
gaining new experiences and all.
Baby I miss you back here at home.
Things aren't changing here and they remind me of you.

Honey I swear I miss you just as much.
I know this is supposed to be such a fun year for you,
but this is all so hard on you.
Honey I love you so much,
I wish we were the same age.

Baby I swear it's getting harder.
This year is so stressful for me,
I feel like I'm loosing my mind.
Baby I love you so much,
I wish we were the same age.

Honey I'll see you so soon,
I want you here. 
This is so hard.

Baby how soon is soon?
I want you here.
It really is hard.

Honey I miss you.

Baby I miss you.

Dreamer

Why can't I live with my head in the clouds?
People like me,
We live with our heads high above the clouds, 
And that is where we, where I, thrive.
I'm a dreamer, 
Comfortable in the dreams for the future,
In hopes of possibilities,
In hopes of improvement.

The "now" is where I'm reduced to a hollow of a person,
The "now" is where I shrivel.
I can not live in
The "now".
I must live in the clouds.

Crash In Motion

Heart breaking,
Hands shaking,
Body quaking,
I move through the sea of people.
They laugh,
They smile,
They walk by not knowing,
Not seeing that I am drowning.
They're all just waiting around...
While my world comes crashing down...
But I keep moving,
Forward,
I am a crash in motion.
Standing still could mean breaking down.
Force a smile, 
Hold back the tears,

Fake it.


Fake it.


Fake it.

Alone In a Black Sea

The waves come and go,
Always crashing into me.
I fear I'll drown
Each time a new wave comes crashing down.
My head can stay above water,
But only for so long 
Once the waves start to hit harder
All hope is gone.
I forget how to swim,
When the black water swells.
It is the shadow I never see coming,
Then the black is grasping at my ankles.
I fight the fight that is rarely won,
I battle the waves of depression,
I hope I'm not the only one.

Not An Escape

I want to feel again,
I want to be myself again,
I want the pain to leave my body,
I want the self hate to leave my body,
I want to leave my body.

The window is open,
I lean out,
I take the leap,
I land on my feet,
Like always.

For now I do it for a high,
Perhaps one day I'll do it to end this life.

Out and In

On the outside I smile
On the inside I quake with sadness.
On the outside I laugh
On the inside I burn with pain.
On the outside I am plain and normal
On the inside I face epic turmoil. 

People think they know me,
But they only see the outside,
Never the inside.
