One, Two Part Three

Can't get too attached. 
For when I do, it all goes
Wrong. One of us gives up, 
And it just falls apart. 
Even though my heart is needy. 
I'll have to fight it for control. 
Or else I'll make a hasty decision. 
One that'll ruin my soul. 
Leaving it more broken than it was
Before. My walls, my "protection", 
Isn't strong enough to keep hold. 
It'll all fall apart with just 
One single blow. Two things will 
Crumble, just when I think I'll 
Be fine. It all tumbles down. And
Emotion after emotions bombards my 
Broken, now unprotected heart. Do you 
Understand why I can't go through it again?

Lost and Given Up

I've finally lost 
my self-control. 
No longer hiding 
All of my anger. 
Or all of my emotions. 
Given up on everything .
No longer going to 
Fake my happiness. 
No longer going to 
Act like I'm fine. 
Nowhere else for 
My demons to hide. 
After everything, my 
True self has died. 
So many scars mark 
My heart, body, and mind. 
Given up on being loved. 
Even on my happiness. 
Can no longer find the 
Strength to smile. 
But I'll keep on acting, 
Pretending that I am fine. 
That I'm okay. For I 
Have a reputation 
To keep and save. 
To keep them from 
Finding out that I'm gone. 
Tat I've finally gone insane. 
My demons have gained 
Control. And my 
True self has disappeared. 
No more fights. 
No more fear. For I am finally 
forever, TRULY, free.

Another Day

Another day gone by
Another space I've wasted. 
Dreaming of blood. 
I'm swimming in it. 
New lines to be drawn. 
More promises that will be broken. 
For another thing I have had 
To leave unspoken. 
My heart's a trap. 
For those unwelcome. 
So beware, you could get stuck. 
I've drowned myself in pain. 
No longer a hope for life. 
I've been dead for so long 
What's another night. 
Cause I gave up this fight. 
Too weak to ever be strong. 
And that's why I long 
For my own serving of peace. 
Which I only get from 
Each line that is drawn.

Leading

I'm leading a new life. 
Not of love, but abandonment. 
That's all that has ever 
gotten me by. 
I've had to rely on myself. 
And never on others. 
Taught myself to be guarded. 
To put myself first. 
And others second. 
My needs come first. 
Then the others who are hurt. 
Because to me, everything,
EVERYONE, is a danger. 
I'm still human. 
So I also need love. 
But it's a last priority  
These puny crushes never last. 
And with them, my hope dies. 
So I'll just keep relying on 
Me, Myself, and I.

My Needle

I sew my needle in 
And out of my skin. 
Each a punishment for
All of my sins. 
Some for what I wish 
To say. Some 
For what I want(ed) 
To do. 
Can you follow all 
That I am saying. 
For each is it's 
Own story. 
Each one kind of 
The same. Each 
Saying that I am broken. 
Shattering. Slowly, 
Disappearing. 
Fading out of existence 
All it takes is one blink. 
And then there I go. 
Gone.

An Expert

I have become an expert. 
An expert of pretending. 
I've fooled so many people. 
Made them think I'm so good. 
That I'm okay. That I'm fine. 
That I'm happy. 
But really I'm not. 
For I am dead inside. 
I tried for so long 
To act like I'm okay. 
Lied to myself for a long time. 
Tried to make myself believe it. 
So now I don't care. 
I'm finally accepting it. 
And there's nobody who 
Can stop me. 
Cause I'll keep pretending 
For the benefit of others. 
Just to keep my secret. 
For I am forever gone.

Two Swords Part Two

The fight will be long. 
In order to gain control. 
Rage, will leave me broken. 
Sadness, will leave me choking. 
Hurt, will cut righr through me. And
Love, will be my only tokens. 
A locked box will never be enough. 
For They will tear right through. 
For They don't want to be left unspoken. 
A race to win my mind, but 
Still I won't give up this fight. 
It will leave my crying and confused. 
But I refuse to be broken. Curse 
These wretched emotions. You 
Won't gain control of this mind. 
Two swords in my hands, both made
Out of Love. The only one that can 
Hurt me the most. And yet, I 
Must still keep Them close. 
Because if I must go through with 
This war, Love si the only token 
I'll have to win this fight.

Two Sides Part One

Uncertain about honesty.
To tell the truth could hurt. 
Not only me, but also you. 
Can't display my emotions
To the window shoppers who pass by. 
For they'd sk me about the look in 
My eyes, and all I'd have is lies. 
Sheild my mind from those 
Unpredictable thoughts. Can't ever 
Let them get to me. Or allow 
Them to control me. Have to fight, 
Got to protect, a sensitive heart 
And a troubled mind. On the very 
Brink of insanity. Can't accept 
These feelings. Don't want love, I 
Just cant help but to still need it. 
Want acceptance, but I'm still 
Wishing for independence. 
Two sides to every emotion, 
Now which side will be chosen?
