i know theres something out there.

i just havent found it yet.

just like me.

I want to save you cause you're just like me.
youre losing control already
before you were strong and steady
and now you're just like me.

I want to help you cause you think like I do.
before you could do it yourself
now you always need help
you're only thinking like me.

I want to catch you cause you're falling like I did
you kept a steady pace
We all thought you were safe
but now you just fell like I did.

I want to save you cause you're just like me
I don't want you to see what I see
I want to help you
I want to catch you
I just want to save you.

lie to me, and i will not trust you.
but look me in the eye, and i will believe you.
push me away, and i will let go.
but keep me close, and i will stay.
hold me down, and i will fight you.
but let me be free, and i will not go too far.
cover your ears, and i will yell at you.
but listen to me, and i will speak softly.
tell me i am useless, and i will fade.
but tell me i am worth it, and i will shine.
leave me, and i will not come look for you.
but stay with me, and i will never leave you.

fix me, because i do not know how to.

tell me who to be, because i dont know.
tell me what to say, because im afraid to mess up.
help me, i have taken a wrong turn.
tell me when i have made a mistake.
let me know when i am wrong.
help me speak, because i want to talk to you.
help me listen, because i want to hear you.
help me write down these words, because i want it to be powerful.
catch me when i fall, because i have scraped my knee before.
i want to mean something,
i want to be happy.
i want to be like you.

empty lines.

ive got no inspiration anymore.
times come and go when i can make something good out of nothing.
a blank white page,
staring up at me,
its empty lines a reminder that i have nothing to fill it with,
like your empty eyes.
i dont have anything to give you.
you should know that, above anything else.
all ive got is this remainder of a heart, and its not much.
not enough for someone like you,
someone with a full heart, ready to give it away.
i am not what you need.
you deserve more.
its ok.
consider me the odd one out.

unfinished. lost train of thought.

you say youve come cause you wanna be heard
then why havent you said a single word?
you say all you want is to just be alive
how have you not drowned in your ocean of lies?

how can you look in the mirror and say that youve changed
when we can look in you face and know youre the same?
we're tired of throwing the rope out to you
when all you do is pull us in too

population: you.

theres no sense in moderation
if youre still staying the same
and theres no use in pointing the finger
cause you know that youre to blame

you dragged me around, you pulled me down
this never ending hole
now the only thing i can do is laugh
because you have nowhere else to go.

youre a liar youre a coward
how can you live with yourself
youre a cheater youre a runner
oh how can you live with yourself

tell me where is your safe haven,
well who do you run to now
who's on your side, who will fight for you
who's gonna carry the tons of baggage
you always have in tow?

i hope youre happy with yourself
welcome to your personal hell.
