Cold Hearted

Cold hearted

How could you be
So happy to see me leave?
How can you just act
So calm and collect 

What did i say
What did i do
For you to feel this way
The way that you do

How can you be so cold
So thoughtless
So cruel
Knowing of my feelings for you
Is it just a joke to you?

My heart breaks
My heart bleeds
With the pain
The shame
That you have thrown upon me

I’ll never know why
It was so fun for you
To make me cry
I will never understand
How you could be
So cold hearted and mean

Label Me

I have a label which is called BPD
It basically reads “don’t help me.”

Everyone will say and talk
“they are not ill, it is all in their heads.”
“they are taking up all our hospital beds.”

“they just want attention and nothing more.”
“There is nothing wrong with them, that is for sure.”

“Lets not help them at all, and why should we?”
“It is not affecting you or me.”

“She is just a nuisance.” I hear them say
“Oh she is just having a bad day.”

I so wish you had my label for only one day
Let us see how far you get, along your way!

Life is not simple with BPD
It is just a label that says
“Don’t help me.”

Infatuation, Self Deception

INFATUATION, DECEPTION

INFATUATION, SELF DECEPTION
WORLD OF LIES CROWDING MY SOUL
THINKING IT WAS REAL
THINKING IT WAS TRUE

BUT IT WAS JUST A
SELF DEPRECIATION A 
MAD INFATUATION

I THOUGH IT WAS LOVE
FOUND OUT THE TRUTH
YET ANOTHER INFATUATION
HITS HARD JUST LIKE
AN ADDICTION

UNHEALTHY FOR MY HEART
WEAK TO MY SOUL
CLINGING ON IN MY MIND
UNSAFE AND UNKIND

Warped and Twisted

WARPED AND TWISTED

HARSH WORDS, VIOLENT BLOWS
HIDDEN SECRECTS THAT NO ONE KNOWS
EYES ARE OPEN, HANDS ARE FISTED
DEEP INSIDE I’M WARPED
I AM TWISTED

SO MANY TRICKS, SO MANY LIES
TOO MANY WHENS, TOO MANY WHYS
NOBODY IS SPECIAL, NOBODY IS GIFTED
JUST WARPED AND TWISTED

SLEEPING WHILE AWAKE
CHOKING ON MY DREAMS
LISTENING LOUDLY TO
A SILENT SCREAM

CALL ON MY MIND
THE NUMBER IS UNLISTED
LOST IN SOMEONE SO
WARPED, SO TWISTED

DOWN ON MY KNEES
ALIVE BUT DEAD
LOOK AT THE INVISIBLE BLOOD
I HAVE SHED




I’M NOT DEAD
MY MIND JUST HAS DRIFTED
DO NOT EXPECT TOO MUCH
TOO MUCH FROM ME
FOR I AM WARPED AND TWISTED

BURNT OUT, WASTED
TODAY, IS YESTERDAY’S TOMORROW
THE SUN DIED OUT, THE ASHES SIFTED
YET I AM STILL HERE
WARPED AND TWISTED

Don'T Tell Me Not To Cry

DON’T TELL ME NOT TO CRY

Please don’t tell me not to cry
Don’t tell me there is no reason why
You do not know what I am feeling
How my mind is constantly reeling

You don’t understand the way that I hurt
How I feel worthless, like a pile of dirt
I know I should get on with my life
Let it go, forget about it, end my strife

Well you see, there lays the catch
My mind ignores all common sense
My head won’t let me listen and pay heed
It just plays tricks on my heart that hurts and deceives

This blackness that seeps across my heart and mind
Make it impossible to shelter my weary mind
I am lost, scared and I feel alone
There is no one to turn to, the seeds have been sown

All I ever do is make mess after mess
And I have to tell you, I must confess
I am not smart enough to deal with this
But I am not brave enough to slit my wrists

I am not clever enough to understand
I am sure not worth enough to hold my hand
I am not rich enough to run away and hide
Not strong enough to turn this tide

Trapped within this living nightmare in my head
I truly wonder if I would be better off dead   GDC2014

Crazy For You

CRAZY FOR YOU

I am crazy for you
Crazy enough to jump off
A bridge for you
Even though I’ve only seen you once
I am crazy enough to die for you

Even when I know nothing of you
I am still crazy enough to
Imagine a you and I

I’m crazy enough to stand in the rain
So I might catch a glimpse of you again
Crazy enough to follow you home
So to see you are alone

And I am crazy enough that 
No pain hurts me 
Crazy enough that I would die for you
Crazy enough to offer my soul for you

Yes I am crazy, crazy enough
To say I don’t know you 
Except by site, but yet I am crazy
Crazy enough to love you anyway

Bad Luck At Love

BAD LUCK AT LOVE

	I thought it was love
But it was just bad luck
And I have come to a conclusion
My love life sucks

I’m not sure of my problem
Yet sure it is just me
Maybe I am too afraid
To face the reality

I thought it was love
But it was just my hormones kicking
And I look back now at yesterday
Saying to myself
What was I thinking?

My fingers can no longer count
The many mistakes I have made
Tears labeled why
Seemed to always end my day

And then, you enter the room
With your radiant smile
Then ending all my gloom
If I get at least some affection
No longer will I be broken

Paranoia

PARANOIA

WHY DOES IT FEEL
LIKE NIGHT, WHEN IT’S DAY?
SOMETHING IS NOT RIGHT
WHY AM I SO UPTIGHT?
WHY IS EVERYTHING BLANK
IN MY MIND NOW

I DON’T KNOW WHAT STRESSED ME
FIRST 
OR WHAT STARTED THIS CURSE
I GUESS THE PARANOIA HAS SET IN
PARANOID IS WHAT I BECOME

DON’T KNOW WHY
DON’T KNOW HOW 
THIS HAS COME ABOUT
TO ME, ON ME

BUT I KNOW WHAT IT IS LIKE
TO HAVE VOICES IN THE 
BACK OF MY HEAD
DRIVING ME CRAZY
DRIVING ME MADF

IT IS LIKE A FACE
THAT I HOLD INSIDE
A FACE THAT WAKES ME
WHEN I CLOSE MY EYES

A FACE WATCHES 
EVERY TIME I LIE
A FACE THAT LAUGHES
EVERY TIME I FALL

SO I KNOW THAT WHEN
IT IS TIME TO SINK OR SWIM
THE PERSON INSIDE 
IS HEARING ME
FEELING ME
RIGHT UNDERNEATH MY SKIN

IT IS LIKE I AM PARANOID
LOOKING OVER MY SHOULDER
IT IS LIKE A WHIRLWIND
INSIDE MY HEAD

I CAN NOT STOP
WHAT I AM HEARING WITHIN
IT IS LIKE THE FACE 
INSIDE IS BENEATH MY SKIN
CAUSING SUCH PAIN
WILL THIS PARANOIA EVER END

Schizoid

SCHITZOID

Schizoid, Schizoid
Oh no 
A life I lead that pains me so
A tiny voice inside my head
That just won’t let go

Only I can hear, people thing it is a show
But it’s no show, not one bit
The voice I hear is female, sadistic 
And full of wit

Entertaining is she 
By my shrieks for silence
Damn what a bitch
Nothing but a menace

Schizophrenia is no joke
It’s like you’re jacked up on coke
Paranoia is driving you to the end of the road
Really not something you can revoke

Please god tell me why
I am on my knees
Why you made me such a paranoid freak
This constant fear of living long
Haunts me every day at dawn

Crazy Obsession

A CRAZY OBSESSION

I WANT TO KNOW WHY
I AM SO OBSESSED WITH YOU
IT IS DRIVING ME CRAZY, 
EVEN A LITTLE INSANE

YOU HAVE EASILY MADE ME FORGET 
MY ONE TRUE SOUL MATE
MAKING ME REALIZE
ONE CAN FALL IN LOVE
MORE THAN JUST ONCE 

YOU HAVE HELPED ME
PUT MY PAST BEHIND ME
GIVING ME HOPE, STRENTH
CREATING A SPACE IN MY HEART
TO CARE, TO LOVE AGAIN

YES, I KNOW IT IS TRUE
HOW I FEEL ABOUT YOU
WHAT YOU MEAN TO ME
EVEN IF IT SOUNDS INSANE

YOU ARE THE LAST PERSON ON
MY MIND AS I LAY DOWN TO SLEEP
YOU ARE THE FRIST ON MY MIND
WHEN I AWAKE
YOU ARE ALL I THINK OF
