And it's like,
you always have to be so strong for everyone else.
You're always the first one to ask if they're okay.
But sometimes, they forget to check in with you.

And it's like,
you never know who's going to leave
and who's going to really stay.
So in the end you just push them all away.

And it's like,
people think you're bulletproof.
They think their shots will do no damage.
But really, every day they cause more cracks in your broken heart.

And it's like,
I want to be okay again.
But I've fallen so far and I've become so damaged;
that this is me.
And damaged is all I will ever be.

Nothing will ever be okay again.

Everything falls apart;

and soon...

there

will

be

nothing

left.

*Because nothing is ever going to be okay.

Daddy found the website.
He asked me what it was.
I told him that I didn't know.
I'd never seen it before.
Sweet lies rolling off my tongue so my secrets wouldn't be poured out like sour milk.
So that's why now I've changed my name.
I'm still the same writer, same person, same girl.
I'm just full of hidden damage.
I've been torn apart by this world

I really wish you would have been there.
I wonder if it would have made you proud.
To see me back finally starting again.
I wish you could have seen me finally make my free throws.
I wanted you to see the look in my eyes when I made my layups.
Everytime I did something good,
I found myself looking into the crowd for your approval.
Only to find no one.
I'm not going to lie and say I didn't have a good weekend.
I played well.
I scored.
Got tons of minutes.
I can honestly say I feel like I left it all on the floor.
But there is one thing that could have made this weekend better;
you.
I know you didn't even have importanat plans either.
You were just dinkering around in the yard and going to the bar.
Couldn't you just take one weekend for me?
I just want to show you that I'm worth it.
That I can do it.
I want to prove to you that this isn't just a waste of your money.
I want so badly to make you proud.
*But I can't do that if you're not there.

Its funny how you say I should stop.
It's not good for me.
That you're going to stick with me through it all.
But when I try, when I reach for you because I can't do it on my own,
you're nowhere to be found.

Insomnia, always
The bewitched course of unending nights
Bitter nights swallowed in haste
I only want the comfort
Of the nest of arms to carry me
Through the tides of terror
That rise and ebb in the dark
I only want to be held
So I can endure the dreams of oblivion

I only want
ignorance to rest
upon my head
like a crown
once
again
a resurrected memory
