If you saw me right now, would you be disappointed or proud?
If you knew what made me who I am, would you avoid the future?
Would you claw your way out of your skin, or would you make the same mistakes I did?
I'm sorry for what we are.
I'm sorry for what we've done.
We're deteriorating, and I ask just that you forgive me.
Forgive me for growing these horns.
Forgive me for the way my skin tu...
Dear little me,
I’m finding it harder and harder to see
if there’s light at the end of the tunnel
or if there’s somebody waiting for me
Dear little me,
I’m finding it harder and harder to breathe
School keeps getting harder but at the top is where they expect me to be
Dear little me,
I’m finding it harder and harder to seem
as though I’m happy and healthy and fine when all I want to do is leav...
Dear past me,
Guess what?
I finally feel free.
Yes, my friends aren’t the best,
But I can tell who to trust and who I left.
Dearest past me,
Yes we still yearn for life in stories,
And it this reality is still boring.
But when you see where we are now,
Everything had fallen and we can take a bow.
Dear Past Me,
I love me.
Finally....
your eyes are clear,
mine are blurred
your smile is bright
mine is fake
your ears hear music
mine hear swears
you taste the icing
i taste the tears
your heart is full
mine is shattered
your soul is beautiful
mine is…
mine is…
mine is…
i will go through all of this
so long as you have that
i will take all the bad
if you take all the good...
don’t look.
just stay with yourself.
don’t try to think about where we are now
just stay there.
i can’t see your cry
or i’ll fall apart
just stay there.
feel the sun on your back
the wind in your hair
the rain on your body
remember joy
so full and bursting
remember happy
so excited and smiling
remember this
stay in this moment.
before they make you leave....
