Broken

Everyone slowly leaves me at times I am in need
This is why i take my knife and cause myself to bleed
I have nobody to talk to and it's getting quiet here
this pain i have inside me screams way too loud to hear
Every time I try to speak I always seem to drown
My once happy bubbly smile now turned into a frown
This pain in my heart hurts way worse than a bullet
I have the wire around my neck i only need to pull it
The faces I see never seem to be proud
this sea of people is getting too loud
I hide in the dark since the light just is too bright
They think that I am strong but I'm slowly losing my fight
these emotions are so painful and they only kill my hope
I guess the only answer is to be hanging from a rope
It's not like I am faking it it's not like I don't try
but every time I look in the mirror... i just want to cry

Love Is Love

You see the one you’ve been looking for,
they’re here but they seem so far out of reach,
They are different than your family had hoped,
they break you down, sucking hope like a leech,

Why can’t they understand your heart,
why can’t they understand how you feel,
you tell them this is who you love,
but they reject you… it doesn’t seem real,

Why Should It Matter?! 
Love is Love
Always follow your heart! 
Do Not Be Ashamed!! 
LOVE is LOVE
And Be Who You Are From The Start!

You feel uncomfortable in your own skin 
but your parents don’t seem to care
You wish to be who you are, 
you change your apparel and hair,

You are beautiful no matter what, 
always be who you are! 
Do whatever you feel is right, 
because you are a dazzling star!

Why Should It Matter?! 
Love is Love
Always follow your heart! 
Do Not Be Ashamed!! 
LOVE is LOVE
And Be Who You Are From The Start!

You come to find you like two the same,
They question which one you like more,
Why don’t they get it? you like BOTH!
There IS NO either or!

When you try to explain they don’t seem to listen!
Don’t let them bring you down!
Ignore their bull and be happy!
Keep that smile! don’t ever frown!

Why Should It Matter?! 
*Love is Love *
Always follow your heart! 
Do Not Be Ashamed!! 
LOVE is LOVE
And Be Who You Are From The Start! 

They don’t understand how it works 
Sometimes you want it but sometimes you don’t
Sometime it seems they try to understand, 
It’s either they will or they won’t

Some days you wish they would leave you be, 
You get tired of explaining, 
They always seem to piss you off, 
no wonder you’re complaining?

Why Should It Matter?! 
Love is Love
Always follow your heart! 
Do Not Be Ashamed!! 
LOVE is LOVE
And Be Who You Are From The Start!

Love Me

Why couldn’t you ever think?
Of how your words hurt like a knife?
Why’d you have to ruin my life?

I could have left you… 
but still I decided to stay…
For Way Too long, 
I hoped you’d finally changed…

Maybe I was too stupid? 
Maybe my head’s in the clouds…
Maybe I ran into Cupid?
The one who was messing around…

You never truly cared…
and all the time I was scared…
You would push me around ‘til I was down on the ground…
And each time I should’ve prepared…

I could have gotten up
I could have walked through the door…
There were always people who had loved me more…

Why can’t I kill all the feelings…
That are causing me pain through it all…
This is why I can’t trust you… can’t trust anyone at all!
Your anger hit me like a brick…

If I ever felt love…
I thought I could trust you
And if I ever felt fear…
I would hide the feelings that were true

You would call me a ‘good girl’
You would say you were proud…
But you didn’t think I’d hear
Your rumors spreading around 

I would open my mouth…
Try to calm you down…
I’d tell you the good news
But you just shut me out

And as the light fades away
I think of begging the good times to stay
When you would actually love me
instead of acting so damn fake
