Bright Lights
Eyes flutter open,
You're done feeling like you're choking,
A new day has begun,
A new song is to be sung.
Mouth becomes agape,
No sounds come out,
Just breaths,
Remember to breath.
Get up,
Stumble in the darkness,
Run hands along the wall,
Find the switch.
Bright lights,
Eyes shut,
Mouth closes,
Begin your life again.

The Last Mouthful
Deprived of life,
When love was lost.
The pages seemed to throw us off.
Hold your breath and count to three,
As I take the last swig of you and me.
Pulled apart by invisible bounds,
They may as well be seen.
To know that love has no bounds,
Seems rather contrived.
Hold your breath and count to three,
As I take the last swig of you and me.
The bottle's done,
This has become less than fun.

False Hope
Stroll down the lane one more time,
I promise everything's going to be fine.
You don't have to move,
In fact, don't even speak.
I chose you,
And now, here we are,
Screaming until you're blue.
I can try, but there's no need for false hope.
The memories won't ever fade,
The facade will always be in place,
You don't have to try,
In fact, don't even attempt a lie.
I chose you a long time ago,
And now, here we are,
Screaming until you're blue.
I can try, but there's no need for false hope.
I'll be fine.
You'll be fine.
We'll just be fine.
Move forward with the life,
You've chosen for yourself.
Without the one who watches over you,
Keep making mistakes until you're through.
Because I'll be fine.
And you'll be fine.
We'll both be fine.
I promise everything's going to be fine.
You don't have to move,
In fact, don't even speak.

Rise
The dial turns to eleven,
Before it seemed it was only seven.
The sun seemed to set,
Before it ever rose.
The windows are covered,
Before you could see the dark.
The dark is something,
Something you needed to see.
Your eyes are closed,
Before they were ever open.
You'll fail to see,
Just what needs to be.
The dial is almost at twelve,
Before it seemed it was only seven.
The sun is set.
Open your eyes,
Because the sun will rise again.
Before it seemed it was only seven.

The Comeback Kid
To write words has been tough,
Honestly, sometimes I write too much.
I think too much, I overanalyze.
And distract myself with a prize.
To watch those around me,
Fall apart too often.
They betray themselves,
Becoming what they hate.
I've promised myself,
Before it this almost happens.
I will be the comeback kid.
And it starts today.

Gorilla
When I think of gorillas,
I can't help but smile,
Because in that instant I know,
I'm better than an ape.
We may have evolved,
But some of us carry,
Unique features,
That is downright scary.
When I think of gorillas,
I can't help but laugh,
Because in that instant I know,
That you're just daft.
We may have grown apart,
But both of us know,
When we're shivering,
And ignoring the snow.
When I think of gorillas,
I can't help but think,
Because in that instant I know.
No one wants to be with,
The man in the yellow hat.

Time
You let her walk away,
Her feet dragging on the floor,
She has to come back,
This time.
But here's some news,
Her mind is pacing,
Her heart's tired of lacking,
The few words she needs to hear.
This time will be different.
You let her go,
Remember that day,
Because that's the day,
She won't turn around.
She won't swallow her pride,
Because she's right,
Though she balances you out,
You take her for granted.
Time's up.

Stop
I sacrificed a lot,
To get where I am,
And truth be told,
I'm not the slightest sad.
When I think of what I did,
To get where I am,
I don't dwell on the past,
Because life's happening now.
And all the winners,
Couldn't have done better,
To make me realize,
That who I'll be,
Is more than they deserve.
They left behind a scar,
Something that I'll carry with me,
For the rest of my life,
But when I make it to the top,
Don't kick yourselves too hard.
And all those left behind,
Could have stayed with me,
To make me realize,
That who I'll be,
Is going to miss them.
They are gone,
Something that haunts me,
For the rest of my life,
But when signs happen,
Don't ignore them, come back.
And all the lasting friends,
Couldn't have been better,
To make me realize,
That who I'll be,
Is a hell of a lot more than I thought.
They are the most understanding,
Something that I treasure,
For the rest of my life
I sacrificed a lot,
To get where I am,
And truth be told,
I can't help but laugh.
I'm not stopping anytime soon.

Winners
I've been around this block before,
I swear it's going to be the same,
WIth you as the others.
My past hasn't been an easy one,
Nor has yours.
But you have the upper hand.
So when I turned to say,
Here's how it'll end,
You stop me.
To say,
"It's about time,
You had something good.
After all those winners."
And for the first time,
In a long time,
I smile.
Something good is going to happen,
And luckily stay awhile.

Lime
Trust makes her lose inhibitions,
As well as a bottle of Jose,
She'll go out to have a good time,
Just taking shots with a lime.
She makes mistakes,
She knows that,
But she doesn't care.
Life's lessons, taken with salt.
Her friends are always there,
She's the one person
That they count on,
When their life's in despair.
She'll make life choices,
But be true to herself.
As ultimately she knows,
She wouldn't want to be someone else.

Rival
To be honest,
When she walks in,
And brightens the room,
Don't pretend you didn't notice her.
You've inflicted pain,
And now you'll see,
Just how amazing,
She really is.
She'll hide the pain,
And make her mistakes.
Her cards will fall,
Where they may.
She'll carry on,
Life's too great,
To get caught up,
From your stupid games.
She's a definition of class,
But there's a side of her,
You never saw and now,
The whole world will see.
The true rival to your new queen.

Scene
I don't get it,
I don't get you,
No matter what I say,
You deem it untrue.
I could choke on the words,
But you'll never save my life,
Because you let the past,
'Cause you strife.
So do me a favour,
And cut the loose strings,
Or tie them up,
Because I'm tired of this scene.
I'd of never done those things,
If I never thought of every scene,
With you and me,
In them.

Resolutions
We all make promises to ourselves,
Ones we intend to keep.
Ones we end up breaking.
We promise ourselves,
We'll kick the bad habit.
We'll not lie to those we care about.
Resolutions are made yearly,
But we neglect to see,
That they cost us dearly.
I resolve to do what I feel,
To do what is right,
By my standards.
I resolve to stand up.
To believe, to fight.
For what I want.
These resolutions I made,
Will cost me dearly.
I just don't neglect to see it.

Platonic
I don't know where I'd be,
Without my umbrella,
Who keeps me dry from the storm,
No matter how terrible it may be.
I don't know where I'd be,
If his ears weren't there,
To listen to my "exciting" life,
And help me smile again.
I don't know where I'd be,
If he didn't sense when things weren't right,
And magically appear,
Back into my life.
I don't know where I'd be,
If I didn't have an intelligent soul,
To talk to about my life,
And give me something to believe.
I don't know where I'd be,
If I didn't know him.
If I didn't talk to him that day,
I don't know where I'd be.

Circle
I have learnt a few things about myself,
From this year of hell.
I've learnt that I cannot be held responsible
For what I text past midnight.
I've learnt that I cannot help how I feel,
For what I have fears of,
I've learnt the lesson from that disastrous mess,
The lesson of being prepared.
I've learnt that life never goes as planned,
And no one's ever what you thought.
I've learnt to not cry,
When it comes to others.
Take me seriously,
Take me literally,
Take what I write, and read between the lines.
Take what I write, and assume.
But there's always going to be,
One lesson you need to learn.
I'm the one thing you'll want but not need,
I'm the one thing you'll need but not want.
It's the circle of our lives.

Fool's Gold
I speak out,
And everything's misunderstood,
You say I mean one thing,
When I know I mean another,
My words are constantly misinterpreted.
I go to speak up,
Instead of my usual silence,
But what do I say?
Do I try to formulate words,
That are just going to be,
Twisted against me?
I may be meek,
When it comes down to you,
But trust me when I say,
Take my silence as gold,
Because this round trip is old.
Gold is foolish though.
And that you should know.

Cares
Jumping in puddles,
I don't care if I'm drenched.
Splashing the water,
Causing chaos.
That's who I am,
That's who I'll be,
Nothing, not even you,
Will change me.
The simple things in life,
Is what brings me
Positivity.
The simple things,
Like a stranger who smiles,
And shares,
Their happy news.
Or dancing,
With your headphones on,
While you walk,
Along the busy street.
Or seeing that person,
The one who made you smile,
All those times before,
It's a rush of emotions.
And the one thing,
That causes me happiness?
Is hearing, I miss you,
Because then I know,
Someone cares.
I don't care if I'm drenched.
Splashing the water,
Causing chaos.
That's who I am,
That's who I'll be,
Nothing, not even you,
Will change me.

Stay
Catch me if you can,
I used to sing,
Until you said,
This one stupid thing.
"A small heart,
You've got one,
Closed off from pain,
Closed off from me.
A small heart,
You've got one,
You'll keep running,
Until you find the one.
I'll catch you because I can,
I'll give you the reason to stay.
I'll make sure,
All the hurt goes away."
But I say, I have potential,
To be great, to live a life,
One can only dream of,
I'm not sure if I could give it all away.
I'll keep running,
Until you give me,
The one reason,
That'd make me stay.
