I Am A Closet Hanger

I never told you
what I was
Because I knew
you’d fall out of love, With me
You tried your best
To be understanding
But we’re turned away
By the thought of me
And it hurts
I think will always hurt
They way I knew you were
Always going to give up on me
And I know it hurts
I hope it doesn’t always hurt
The way you hated my touch
The way you were repulsed by my love
You would recoil
At my very presence
Like you knew
You checked out if I was present
I looked for love
In all the wrong places
Lonely laying next
To you dreaming of changing faces
The best way to say sorry
Is in your actions
We all make mistakes
Try not to repeat them.

i wear bright colours on my body to distract myself from the darkness
most of the time it works most of the time i cant feel the hurt
i smile even if i don't want to to trick myself into believing that i am mostly
"happy" and "everything happens for a reason..."
the way I dress is an overcompensation for an adolescence that i never had, i wanna get it right this time i never ever want to go back
if im meant to walk this life with a target on my back it may as well be pink and pretty, if im gunna get beat up on the street i wanna look my most garish and lovely :)

****dedicated to all the to the gifted and talented children who grew up to be loveable burnouts.
I took all the expectations
That you put on me,
and traded them in
For a new name and my true identity
And you will will always disappoint me
As I will to you
This world is disappointing
That’s what it’s built to do
Take the lies and unwritten laws you raised me on, and leave em in the past where they belong,
You wanted me to become a doctor
But I became a nurse
I still help people
But you think it’s somehow worse
I wanted you to be a family
But it was to hard
guess y
We both let each other down
I use my quotation marks gifts and talents quotation marks,
To make invisible things that no one needs

Who Do You Curse?
04:25

Who do you curse
When the trains are late?
Do you scream to the sky
Or bottle up the hate
When your driving your car
Express your frustration in a beep
Is it the other people’s fault
Is it doing anything?
Who do we blame
For all of our faults?
Or do we accept our flaws
And show ourselves love
Please don’t hold back
I wanna see and feel it all
Give me your worst and your
Best and let’s make a home

change, is it possible?
change, will you help me to?
You see me fawning
Over awful things
But You can’t intervene
“It would be wrong of me”
So I’ll just watch
The car wreckage burn
I’ll say I’ll told you so
And no body learns
change, is it possible?
change, will you help me to?
Short lil shogazer
Why are you so down?
You still think you’re above us all
Living underground
So you stay there
Alone in your cave
No one learns anything
And you think that’s ok
change, is it possible?
change, will you help me to?

A routine turns bad, you feet start to itch
You heart beats faster, You let in the stress
But the worlds come out wrong
Muddled in tension and tiredness
But all we are trying to say is
I miss you I love you I’m sorry I’m not my best
A job exploits you, you feel hollow inside
You project onto others, Before you realize
That the words came out all wrong
Lost in a haze of tension and tiredness
But all you were trying to say was
I miss you I love you I’m sorry I’m not my best
Focus on what we have
We are so lucky to have one another
I don’t want to take you for granted
You are my best friend and my life partner

I Am Rotting Out
02:14

Do you ever get the urge
To give up come on strong?
Do you ever feel like
You’ve been alive for far too long?
I’m rotting out
My face is changing
I’m losing to
The attack of aging
Do you ever feel like
Your mirror hates you?
Do you ever have a
Brain & body disconnect
I don’t recognize
You or my reflection
I don’t want to grow
Old with this affliction

No Fun In The Salon
03:43
|
|||
|
these past two years
I’ve set myself free
Of all the awful people
Standing on top of me,
but in my newfound freedom
a new set of rules,
a different type of gatekeeper
policing everything
slow down
walk please
no running in the workplace
(I know your excited, But can you plz contain it)
Sit still
Stop wriggling
No fun in the salon
Who told you that you could smile
On your path to reclaiming your body and mind
My hair
The silly things I wear
I know I’m doing it wrong
Cuz you tell me
My body shape
It ain’t so straight
According to you
I have been doing it wrong
Break out of one awful world
Only to enter another,
Every circle is poisoned by power
Even the weirdos want to control me
