Trying to balance
Home and School
Is like trying
To write on a wall
You’ll get holes in your paper
And the writing will be jagged
The paper’s your soul
And the writing’s how you handle it
No matter how hard you try
Your two lives will combine
School life will include
You from home
And you’ll have outbursts at home
That comes from school
‘Cause everyone’s different
At different times
And you cannot say
There’s only one you
Because you’ve got
Many different sides
And you try to balance them
But you can’t find the divide
So one life
Turns into another
And you're left wondrin’
What happened to balance?
What happened to a life
That was all planned out
That you had created
And was never in doubt
“This life will happen”
You’d thought to yourself
But now your left
Throwing that life on a shelf
Or better yet, in the garbage
Because the life you planned
You’ll never get back
So just stop tryin’ to balance
Because it’ll never happen

Would you be the sun or the moon?
I would be the moon
No one grows tired of the moon

Imperfect body
A dark side
Often hidden
All alone
Cloaks of silence
In a sea of stars

Peeking into the soul
In its North West scenery night
Old men know when there is no light.

A sorrowful woman who no longer
has to pretend, in the presence of the moon.

I am different from the sun

But she is devoted to me
We found comfort in the darkness
Mirrored in your being

I would be the moon.
I am the moon on Earth

Done something terrible
And don’t know how to fix it
So now I’ve started running
And don’t know where to hide
My life’s topsy-turvy
Full of wonder and madness
And that’s why somethin’ terrible happened
It’s not my fault, not exactly
Hit ‘em with my bullet
Shining silver in the night
And now karma’s out to get me
Take my soul and make things right
So since then I’ve been running
And I don’t know where to
But karma’s gonna catch me
And leave me black and blue
Show me what I’ve done
‘Cause I deserve no peace
Replay what happened to them
Again and again in my head
So I’ll run until I can’t
Avoiding what I know’s comin’
So I can try to make amends
With who made me shoot the bullet

When a friend moves away
And you don’t know why
You start to question yourself
And maybe even cry
Was it because of you
Or was it someone else
Maybe even none of those
And he wanted to find himself
One day you check your Instagram
And find he’s active
So you text him and say hi
And hope he says hi back
But when he responds
It isn’t hi
It’s not what you wanted
What he said is bye
And you don’t understand
What he means
So you ask him why
And then he leaves
You don’t know why
Why would he leave
When you had started a conversation
But then you realized
That he has no expectation
Nothing that can keep him
From doing right or wrong
He has no limitations
And nothing to tell him not
Not to do what he's doing
Which is betraying you
It's what he wants to
But that doesn't mean it's supposed to do
He doesn't think of others
Only of himself
And that's what makes him hateable
Its that all in itself
So why don't you forget him
Let him live his life
Because one day he'll regret
Losing you to a knife

Somethings off,
But you won’t tell me
So I think
And think of 3
3 possible reasons
Why you’re all alone
Separating yourself
And facing the unknown
All by yourself
You’re just sitting there
And I do not know why
But I pull up a chair
I ask you what’s wrong
And you don’t respond
So I sit there and yawn
It feels like an eternity
Has gone by before you respond
And all you do is sit there
And give me a shrug
You mumble something short
That I wasn’t able to catch
But what I thought I heard
Is “I’m gonna **** myself”
I immediately said “No!
You’re way too good for that”
I ponder for a moment
What would drive her to this
And then I see her face
And I know she’s been harmed
By whom I cannot say
But what I know is true
She’s been harmed by someone close to her
And someone that I knew
He had forced her to do things
That I cannot even say
The thought of it so treacherous
It’s hard for me to say
Even the smallest details
From this account
Can drive me very crazy
And lose myself
So that day
I had to say goodbye
To someone I loved dearly
And I watched her lie
She was such a good person
And didn’t deserve to die
But this man drove her crazy
With just the blink of an eye
So now I mourn her
Every single day
Because I miss her so dearly
With every passing day
