Please don’t leave
I’m not sure my heart can take it
It’s fragile like paper
yea, a paper heart.
Worn down to a single layer
so very thin
it’s torn at every edge,
soaked in the tears
that have bled from my eyes
for years.
it’s bruised and scratched
and struggles to beat
so please I beg
don’t give it a reason to stop

Feel your heartbeat
and listen to it say
I love you
Let your hearbeat feel you
and listen to you say
I love you

Can you fix me?
Why do I have these feelings
For something I can’t find in myself.
Am I truly broken?
Why do I feel like I’m running off of a battery that has run out of energy?
What am I missing?
My screws are unscrewed,
My bolts are missing.
I guess I am just broken.
And I don’t feel as if I have
Enough hope to keep going.
Maybe someone will find my missing bolts and give me new batteries.

Nature is surprising.
Seeds turn to trees,
and that buzzing noise is a bee.

They all have a purpose.
Without rain there’s no flowers.
Without bees there’s no honey.
We thrive and survive off of nature,
Yet we destroy it.

It’s pretty amazing,
How it all works,
And most people don’t notice it.

When I was little,
I thought the world was on my side.
Now that I’m older, I’ve realized
It’s me against the world.
Society is going to try,
To tempt me, to hurt me, to destroy me.
And so far I’ve tried ignoring it.
But now, I know it’s out to get me.
As a child, the world would hold me close,
And told me it would keep me safe.

The world has opened my eyes,
Drowned me, and made me realize
I can only trust myself.
It’s alright, I’m okay.
Or I’m not, maybe I’m insane.
Maybe the world is just the world,
And I just can’t accept it.
Maybe I’m searching for a deeper meaning
To my pain.

The burning sand sliding in between your toes.
The breeze making you feel weightless.
The salty-smell filling the air.
Seagulls flying above.
Once touching the refreshing sand in the ocean,
You’ve become it.

Be like
A mirror,
And reflect.
