I Am Ready

I am ready

The time is drawing near
My body pulsing with fear

I've ordered my meal, I know it's my last
Suddenly the years in that box, have gone so fast

I am ready

It's cold in here, as they peer through the glass
My cold heart for show
Lived my life behind a mask

I am ready

It is now time, poison entering my veins
My crimes and victims
Are all of me that remains

Mania

Waking up today
What role will I play?

Rambling thoughts, pacing around
My mind is ghost, never to be found

Today is great! My soul will blossom
Oh no, nevermind, I'm back to rock bottom

Highs and lows
Excitement and woes

Will this ride ever slow down?
My life is a circus, and I the clown

Light In the Dark

Distance and longing
Worry and fear

How much longer, 
must I live without you here

Your face haunts my dreams
I still hear your voice

Why did you give up so soon
Was there not another choice

Those of us you loved
Pray you're watching from above

Had I known of your fight,
Maybe I could have been your light

Picture Perfect

Picture Perfect

She wakes up every morning
Makes him breakfast and his coffee
Packs his lunch and folds his laundry

Picture Perfect

Sends him off to work with a kiss upon the cheek
Tells him that she loves him
Even though her heart is weak

Picture Perfect

She puts her makeup on, sure to cover every bruise
Behind the lens, all is well
No one wiser to the abuse

Picture Perfect
