Just trying to get by.
Just trying to get by.
Just trying to get by.
We were a lightning strike,
We were so broken,
But then we found each other,
And I never thought I’d have to worry again.
I thought I had you,
I was sure,
But then you left me,
Without a word,
It breaks my heart so hard,
I can’t glue it back together,
It’s shattered and ruined,
Just like my life.
I cheered for you so much harder
Than I ever did myself,
And I knew things felt hopeless,
But I thoug...
Sometimes, when it’s dark, I slip outside and stare up at the sky, the stars, the moon.
I can hear the wind rustle the fallen leaves, and I can hear you,
Your sweet, soft voice, whispering to me, if only I could make out the words from a living ghost,
Vanished, by choice.
I cannot feel you with me anymore, I can no longer read your thoughts, feel your feelings, mirror you.
The silence is soul cru...
You’d think death would be late for lessons,
But it seems to be the perfect time,
For the living,
And the left behind.
It runs in my head on a constant loop,
All the things I should have said and done.
I cannot forgive myself,
And I cannot move on.
Maybe one day when I die,
I’ll finally be back by your side,
Just know each time I think of you,
I can’t help but to cry.
I knew better,
I was selfi...
Go outside, it’s great weather they say,
They are trying to melt me with this summer’s day.
And to avoid going out there I do suppose I hide.
School may be out but the bugs are out too,
I can’t believe we want them but I guess scientists do,
I don’t wish death on many but bugs aren’t what I’m about.
I can’t wait til it cools down,
Or until I can move out,
To the place I belong.
I’ve never done ...
I wonder if you are really listening,
Can you even hear me?
I’m drowning alone,
And you don’t seem to see.
I scream
Into the void
But you don’t seem
To hear a word.
You’ll never believe me,
You’ll say it’s all in my head,
That I made a bad choice,
So why am I not dead?
Or am I?
Not quite dead,
Not quite alive.
You still can’t see it from my side.
You don’t hear a word I say,
You don’t really e...
You say you love me
But really you don’t.
You’d put nothing above me,
Except cash, cars, and homes.
You say that you love me
But really you don’t,
If you really loved me,
You’d do the things you just won’t.
You say that you love me,
But won’t let me go home,
Where it’s happy and lovely
Not this hell I’ve always known.
You say you accept me,
But I know it isn’t true,
Instead you reject me,
And p...
Wherever there is light,
The flowers will find it.
When the clouds part,
The sun is able to shine.
It’s a beautiful day,
Like a work of art.
Every day you wake up in West Hollywood,
You’ve arrived,
And now you must fight
To stay alive,
It’s hard just to survive.
Money would be nice,
But I’m broke as a joke,
And I’m losing all hope,
Cause I can’t stand this place,
It only brings pain,
So don’t even...
I knew I loved you before I met you,
I’d been alone for far too long,
And you were a rare breed,
One that could never be
Capable of hurting me,
And saving me all at once.
When you died,
Most of me did too,
And I can’t get over it,
I can’t get over shit,
Forgiveness and I are just not a good fit.
And I can’t control myself when that feeling hits.
I wish I had been there,
As you took your final br...
Hope is the bridge between despair and joy. Hope allows a lot,
But it also derails
And as it unravels,
The joy begins to rot
And you’re back to despair
But it can’t be repaired
Life isn’t fair
And maybe God doesn’t care.
Don’t give me hope and then take it away,
Do not get up and leave
when you’ve told me you’d stay.
I can’t take any more pain,
I’m sorry to complain,
But I cannot breathe
When I’...
Beauty is rarely black and white.
Beauty can be seen even in the absence of sight.
Most people and things are beautiful,
If they put forth their heart and soul.
With more love,
We could rise above,
And see the truth,
And call a truce.
One person’s trash is another’s treasure,
And I will just want you for more than forever,
You’re the definition of goals,
You always sparkle but you’re better than...
