I hung the pressed flowers on my wall today, the ones you gave me last spring. I don’t know why I hung them because all they do is remind me of you but, they look nice where I put them and they still have a rosy smell. A way of being. As they sit there I wonder if they feel lonely like me, I wonder if they miss your touch and the way you handled them carefully, just like you did with me. They are fragile and so am I. I wish I were like a flower who deserved a soft touch from beautiful humans and baths of sugar and fallen leaves.
Soak me in love and powdered sugar

I am not as you see me now.
I stand straighter, walk taller,
I think clearer.

But just now I've shrunk back
to a fragile tenacity that can easily
go unnoticed.

I am not as you see me now.
I am so much more.
{You'll just have to take my word for it.]
We all have periods when we're less than our true selves.

Are you the sheep in wolf's clothing?
Or are you the boy who cried wolf?

Are you soft on the inside?
Or are you alone on the outside?

Dressing as a wolf only to pretend you are strong,
but deep down inside you are only fragile

Lying to the face of each and everyone
but deep down inside you are only lonely  

What if I have always been both the sheep and the boy,
Who just want to be relevant and not annoy

She was a fragile emotion.
searching for words that could be spoken
nothing came her way
she closed her mouth,
and never said a word again
because of the all the hurt that came.
She never wanted to see his pain again
on anyone elses

how you make me feel
it consumes my mind
entertains me, captivates me, holds me in a cell
my feelings wanting to break free
yet
my lips are sealed

when you ask me who do you want
I say nothing
enslaved by my own will
I dont want to speak

you know I want you
I can't hide my actions
my speculations are driving me crazy
I am trapped
I am trapped

what if I spoke
more than just a stupid joke
I would be free
I could be me

Freedom of feeling
it is liberating
also deteriorating
decorating
heart-breaking
faking


when feelings are like a fragile glass
shattered at the slightest shake

is it  really worth
risk taking

She closed the door and cleaned up her room. Her hair was done nice for when they found her, breathless and bare. Her eyes glowed less bright like the world had already left her. She looked tired- colorless and waiting for it all to end. She straightened her crooked clock and waited for it to strike 5, mom would be home soon. She raised the blade to one arm and forced it deeper and deeper releasing her pain, her worries, her sufferings. At some point she told her self it wouldn’t get better and she was convinced. Who hurt her? Both arms limp and empty, the rest of her body becoming the same. Dads footsteps up the stairs, the last thing she heard. Dads tears, the last thing she saw. Eyes fluttered shut. Pain gone away. Far away. Sadness was turned over to someone else. All the people who loved her. Gone from this world because she thought there was no other solution. - stay a bit longer I swear it gets better.

we’re all fragile underneath
this coat of armor isn’t thick or deep
when we break it’s hard to hide
the way we hurt inside

when i come undone at the seams
my heart is on the floor for all to see
do that thing that i need
wrap your arms around me

we do our best to smile
fight the tears trying to creep from our eyes
when a smile just won’t disguise
we just crumble inside

so when i come undone at the seams
my heart is on the floor for all to see
do that thing that i need
wrap your arms around me

I have found some beautiful lyrics from some of my favorite songs, I had to share them. They are so poetic and gorgeously written. I have such a passion for music!
