Masked

What is this feeling
This feeling deep down in my soul
Eating away at me
Threatening to tear away my flesh
And unmask me as someone completely different
Than who I pretend to be

When you’re constantly worried
About being exposed
As someone who you think no one will like
You can’t focus on who you really are

Life is no fun
When you are not letting your true self out
If you constantly hold yourself back
Hiding from the world
Pretending to be tough
Pretending to be a person
Who is not bothered by their words

So let your hair down
Be the person you want to be
Who cares if they don’t like you
You are worthy of their love
If they can’t see that
They’re blind 

Let yourself cry
Let yourself feel the feelings that you always denied
Let yourself be who you want to be
Don’t be the person you think they will like
Be the person you will like

How Can It Be

How can it be
That you can feel so empty
And yet so full of emotions
At the same time

How can it be
That every option seems a bad one
Nothing in the world seems right
I want to fix everything
And yet I have no motivation

How can it be
That it is so hard
To get excited about anything anymore

How can it be
That I want to stop existing
Yet I do not want to die 

How can it be
That no matter how hard you try
You will feel pain 

How can it be 
That no matter how hard you push
Your feelings push harder

Let Her In

You think that you are
Some giant mess 
You think no one could ever
Love you for who you are
And who you will become

You hide yourself from the world
You hide the fact that you
Are slowly dying on the inside
Each part of you breaking and snapping
Until you become a pile of broken dreams

 But someone loves you
Someone understands what you’re going through
And every time that you pull away
You break her heart more and more

She wants to help you 
She wants to share your pain
Every feeling that you hide from her
She wants to help with

She can be your shining star
And she can show you the way out of the darkness
