**Down the medicine into the hatch.**
**Bye bye anxiety, hello euphoria.**
**But euphoria is only temporary.**
**When the medicine washes down my throat I finally feel at peace.**
**But not for long as the medicines affect wash away and I’m left alone with my heads thought. Long are the days of worry free thoughts.**...
Down, down, down
Flush the pills down the drain
Now no one can tell me
That I’m mentally insane
Did your daddy place you here?
Did he call you by your name?
I could tell you what it is,
but you’d probably think I’m to blame
You see the woman down the hall?
No, cause she’s not there at all
I thought I heard her moaning
Even listened to her cry
But its not like the movies
And I can’t explain why...
What’s this feeling?
Im hurting again
My mind just spins and spins
I see colors, I’m only seeing red
I’m tired of all these voices in my head
Tired of this body and soul
This brain of mine
What’s wrong with me?
Why can’t I reside?
Leave me alone let me be
I’m tired of you all ruining me
Running me dry
Laughing at me
I’m tired
So tired
Of everything...
Why oh why, do I feel like I do the same thing on a cycle.
I feel like a washing machine, spinning and spinning.
But the evil queen put me to sleep. In doing so, my innocence was stolen.
Or did someone above protect me from them taking this from me?
Sometimes she feels like she’s lost her head.
Sometimes I feel like going to the water, the rough oceans and washing away the toxicity in me...
My tears pour like rain,
Is there a purpose for all this pain?
I don’t want all this destruction to be in vain
May my tears imbue the land and stain
The earth with their memory of bane
The earth is a witness to my heartache
My tears have memory and validate
My story, the truth
Each teardrop holds a piece of my story
And encapsulates in bitter glory
Because water is living
It sustains li...
Moments in life.
Hit like a tidal wave.
One day,
To the next.
All of a sudden,
17.
17 17 17 17 17 17….
Dancing queen.
Young, and free.
17.
Uncomfortable on my tongue
Smile stretched wider than they could.
Core memories made in unlocking.
New day; New year
Brand new 17.
Choices, to be decided
Love isn’t lost and will be more found
The scavenger hunt is
Alright
because
It’s 17...
It can easy
Easier than we might think
To be forgotten about
Washed away
Replaced
But
There’s always hope
Always hope that there’s better people out there
Ones that won’t look at us
In that light
Ones that will nurture us
Protect our hearts and minds
Learn to understand all that we are
And never
Ever
Wash us away....
My memory of you is slowly washing away
I can’t express to you how much this pains me
How much it hurts when the waves of the present comes to carry away the memories of the past
But that’s the reality of it
The more minutes that go by
The days that slip away
I’m slowly living my life without you
And as life goes on
The more memories I create
The more life I live
It’s washing away your ...
This river of offering is a home I see too often
The water rolls over my body, purifying
Wash away my betrals and sins of my flesh
Give me a new soul from the father of undying
The river filled with blood that costs a high price
A price I couldn’t afford without my father
Your offering that I do not deserve
A lifetime of pure deeds couldn’t save my worth
My soul doesn’t want to sin, but my flesh...
