Freedom

Why,
Why do grow up so quick?
Why do we wish to be an adult?
Why do we wish our childhood over?

Freedom.
The answer is freedom...

How can we enjoy out life between walls and gates?
How can we experience hurt and regret when our parents keep us hidden?
How do we know what us right and what is wrong when they tell us?
How do we love someone when we are trapped inside a house?

'Why do you do this!?'
'Why are you rebellious!?'
'Why won’t you listen to me!?'

Freedom...
It’s all in ask for...

Let me live
Let me get drunk till in vomit
Let me get high
Let me go out with my friends
Just because in have a boy as a friend doesn't mean we're sleeping together
Let me live my life and experience things on my own

Freedom,
It’s all in ask for

What Is It

What is it?
Is it the jealousy we feel?
When we see you with a girl?
Is it the non-ending love?
I have when in see your message?

What is it?
Is it the trust I have?
When trusting you with others?
Is it the sadness in me?
When in realize that you're far away?

What is it?
Is it the thoughts taking over?
Telling me I’m not worth your love,
Telling me I’m just going to mess it up?

What is it?
Is it the fear of not being the one?
Or just not being the best?
Is it fear of being to needy,
Wanting to know in matter?

I want to know,
What is it?
What is thing feeling I’m feeling
What the hell is it?

You Care

When I see your eyes, 
I see you care
When I see the way you look at me, 
I see you care
When I see you trying to get my attention, 
I see you care
When you rub your face on mine, 
I see you care
When you come and lay next to me
I see you care
When you cuddle with me
I see you care

You may not be human
you may not be able to talk
you may be very small, 
But I know you care

When you see a tear, 
you come straight to me, 
purring in face and neck
Demanding attention
you show you're there

When you hear me cry, 
you look me in the eye
Making eye contact, 
and telling me,
'I love you!'

You may not be human, 
you may not be able to talk.
You may be very small, 
but I see you're there...

I can see, 
my little cat, 
I can see, you care

Forgiveness

How can I do this? 
How can I forgive you?
After all that you put me through…

How do I take your apology?
And forgive what you did to me?

I know it’s hard
And you know it takes time to forgive

I took time

And now I’m ready.
I’m ready to forgive you.

I’m sorry I took my time,
But it’s all over now.
Forgive and forget?
I can forgive, 
But not forget

Goodbye To Me

The blade,
"Use me!"
I can hear it scream
Just one cut,
One deep one,
And over it is

The pill,
"Drink me!"
I hear the voice in my head telling me
Just a few..
Maybe 15 strong pain killers?
Maybe an overdose on insulin?

The gun,
"Pull me!"
I can feel my fingers pulling the trigger
Its just one quick move
I wont even feel it

The powder,
"Smell me!"
I can feel my head going closer to it
Just one line,
And addiction it is?

The voices,
Its getting to loud!
Its taking over...
Let me go!

Just one deep cut
Just an overdose on pain medication
Just one move of a finger
Just an overdose from the drug...

Just those and my life,
Well...
It wont exist

Relapse

DO IT!!!
There is no more use
Your skin,
Just make it bruise…

Nearly a year
One…
It’s just that one relapse I fear

Just one line…
That’s all I want!
Would that be fine?

It’s the disappointment
From them all.
Just because of that one fall

Its Just a Dream

Don’t worry,
It’s just a dream.
Don’t cry,
Don’t scream

Don't worry
It’s not true
It happened,
There's nothing you can do...

Don’t worry,
You will wake up
And all that,
It will stop

And when you wake up
You'll see,
That it wasn't a dream...
But a nightmare,
You'd wish to forget

I'M a Teenager

Let me stay in my room,
Let me sleep till 11 o’clock
Let me go to sleep at 2 AM
Don’t be mad when I’m in my room all day
I’m a teenager,
Let me do teenage things

Leave me at the mall with friends
Leave me on the Wi-Fi for the whole day
Don’t tell me to block my online friends
Don tell me to,
‘Get out of the room’
I’m a teenager,
Let me do teenage things…

Yes, I swear
Yes, I would like to smoke
Yes, I have tasted vodka before,
And I liked it…

Let me drink
Let me experience with drugs
And see how much they ruin life
Let me try stuff out for myself!
Don’t tell me what to do
Don’t tell me to get of the internet,
Or you’ll block me from the Wi-Fi

Don’t judge me when I tell you my sexuality,
Otherwise I won’t open up to you again…

I’m a teenager,
Let me do teenage things…
Please

Don'T Leave Me

You mean so much
To much
Please, 
Don't leave me, 
I'm begging you

It may seem like the best option, 
It may seem like the easiest option
Hell
It may be the only option,
But please,
Please don't leave me
I'm begging you

You mean so much
To your friends and family,
To me...
You are worth so much
Please,
Please don't leave me

Boo,
You mean so much to me,
You are worth more than any of this crap you're going through
Boo, you are amazing,
And i love you so much

Please,
Please don't leave me

Freedom From Within

Free from my mind
Rest and peace are what I'm looking for,
Eager for the freedom of my brain
How do I get out?
Anything I'll do!
Is it so hard to ask?
Carry me out of this,
What I call my horrible past
