Flames

Flames burn within her fragile body.
Burns her from the inside out.
Deteriorates everything that she used to be.
Flames engulf her and everything that she is.
The only difference for her is she is reborn through the flames. 
She is like a snake shedding a new skin.
She rises up through the ashes and is stronger than she was before.
She is no longer being destroyed by the flames. 
She is the flames and they are bigger and brighter than any flames ever seen.
So be careful when you look into those fiery eyes of her, because you will be so captivated that you will forget she is fire, and you too will be engulfed by the beautiful flames that she is.

Trapped

I am trapped in the past
In all the mistakes that I have made
I am trapped in a endless black hole and I can't find the way out
I am trapped in hell where my only friend is the little red man who used to be a beautiful angel. 
He tells me that I am going to stay with him forever
He tells me that I am the one he's never going to let go.
I am trapped in a tornado of emotions.
And that tornado had ripped apart everything that lived inside me.
I am trapped within myself
And that's where I have to stay.
Because I have come to love the way my soul dances with my demons.

Used To Love You Sober

I couldn't get enough
Your smell
Your eyes
Your hair
Everything about you lit up my world

Now the only way I can get you off my mind is too keep a bong so close 

I try to leave it all behind
But every night you crawl back in
And the thought of you still stings like a million bees all over my body
You broke me more than you will ever know
And you will never know 
Because if I ever see you again my fist is going to go flying towards your face faster than a hummingbird flapping its wings
You killed me inside then acted like you were the one who had been wronged
I loved you more than the world will ever know
And you left me here alone

Now the only way I can get you off my mind is to stay high in the clouds where I know you will never hurt me again.
I used to love you sober

Let Go

Sometimes the hardest part of life is letting go
And we all know that holding on does more damage than letting go
But that never stops people from holding on
Holding on means that you're terrified to lose something
Often holding on blinds you from the things that you need to see
Holding on kills people, it rips their hearts right from there chest
Holding on is why people build walls so high that not even the birds can fly over it.
Holding on is a soul's way of saying “i'm too scared too find something better”
Holding on too something you need to let go of is like tying a anchor around your ankle and jumping into the ocean.
You're never going to be able to get back to the surface is you don't untie and let go of the anchor.
Letting go of something often breaks your heart, but it doesn't hurt as much as holding onto something only to have it walk out of your life like you never mattered. 
Letting go is the way to care for yourself and protect the fragile thing we call our  hearts.

Shes the Reason

She is the reason I don't feel anything
She is the reason I'm so cold
She is the reason I'm not whole
She is the reason why I don't trust anybody
She is the reason my walls are so high
She is the reason I cry myself to sleep every night
She is the reason that I turn to drugs too feel safe again
She is the reason why I lost my soul
She is the reason why my demons scream so loud.

She destroyed me and everything that I am, they say the worst thing you can do too someone is just dissapear without saying why.
I didn't believe them until you were gone and I had no explanation.
I was left alone to break down.
I was left alone to sit with my own thoughts and wonder about everything that I did wrong.
She is the reason why I was left alone too fall deeper into the black hole of my soul.
And she was the reason I picked myself up and continued to move on, because she had. I meant nothing too her so now she means nothing to me. 
And I can't wait for her to come back because when she does, I will be the reason that she is crying.

Scared of the Past

I am terrified of the past.
My mind has tried so hard to hide the things that went on.
I have no memory of it but I know it happened.
I can feel it deep inside of me
My mind has the memories locked inside a vault that I can't even reach.
I don't want to reach it.
I'm terrified of what is going to pop out of the vault.
The past was a dark place.
My body remembers the things that were done to me even though my mind doesn't.
I find myself pushing away the ones I love because there is something deep down inside of me that is missing. And I know that whatever it is i'm never going to get it back.
And I don't want it back because that means i'm welcoming back all the treacherous feelings that made my heart so cold

I Found the Light

I found the light at the end of my pitch black tunnel that i thought i would die in.
I found my light and he saved me
He saved me in more ways than he will ever know
He pulled me out of the darkness that my soul had come to accept as home.
He is brighter than a million suns and he lit up my world that was overtaken by the darkness.
He is kind and his touch is gentle.
His light warmed my soul that was trapped in the cold of my own mind.

He showed me that I deserve to feel the light and that no soul should have to stay in the dark.

He is my light 
He is what makes my world glow with happiness again
And for that I will never go back to the dark because my soul is now in love with the light.

Hide and Seek

As a child hide and seek is a innocent game where the children are having the time of their life.
Fast forward to the teenage years and hide and seek is no longer fun.
I play hide and seek every day.
My soul and heart try to hide everything from me too keep me safe.
But after awhile I go numb.
So i have to seek out the person that I once was.
But the sad truth is I played hide and seek so much that the person who started the game no longer wants to be found and is permanently glued to the satisfaction and comfort of the dark. 
And in the dark is where my soul and my heart died.
