3AM and I wonder
If I'm good enough for anyone
Can happiness reach me,
When I'm in a really dark place
But I'm done waiting
There's no prince charming
Nor a fairy godmother
Because now I know
That I am my own hero
And in order to be happy
I must take action

Sweep me away with your words,
And with your daring actions
Show me that you're willing
To wait for forever
Together we shall explore the world
Through bookstores, and antique shops
Let's travel aimlessly, but with a purpose
Unravel the mysteries of this world with me
And take my breath away
But make sure you're ready to catch me,
When I fall for you

Books, video games, TV shows
For others it's only for fun,
But for me it's my life
Because I would rather spend my life pretending
To be a character with an amazing adventure
Than face this ruthless demon called *reality

Emptiness

I look in the mirror and I see flaws
I see the things that I try to conceal
with make-up, fake smiles, and friends
Yet it never fills up the void
As empty as a dry well
And as deep as the ocean
I can never fill the emptiness within me
So I use pain to find control
Because in this chaotic life
I cannot find what I need nor want
So I resolve to pain and sadness,
But pretend it's alright
Because it's much easier to say I'm okay
than say the reasons why
To someone who won't understand

Who are You

A conundrum, that's what you are
I thought I understood you
But I was wrong
You were a mystery, even to me
A question without an answer
I thought you were my mystery
But I never owned you
Were I able to break through your walls?
Or did you just rebuilt them again?
I stretched my arms
But you never reached back
Did I really know you?

— The End —
