The Same Changes

Some things never change. 

And some things you thought would never change, do change 

and then you're 

free. 

The Songs In My Head

all the cities with the bright lights, they're not all pretty on the inside. 

where am i going. 

The Brave.

Be strong enough to leave it 

behind you. 

The Wolf In Sheep's Clothing.

Uncertainty leads to opportunity, so they say, but they never told us that the opportunities laid down aren't just for us.

They're for doubt to sink into our minds,

negativity to gnaw at our bones,

unbelief to settle in our hearts,
fear to control our choices,

self-loathing to poison our souls,

isolation and distrust to run our lives.

The opportunities belong to them as much as they belong to us. 

So take action quickly, my love, 

before they ruin you. 

The Lack of Air

Sometimes the memories suffocate you the hardest when you're letting them go. 

Let go anyway. 

The Morning Madness

Mornings are the hardest part of my day.

I wake up and all my defenses are down and I feel every bad emotion all at once. 

Fear

Depression

Anxiety

Reluctance

Sorrow

And I remember all the memories of you that I want to block out. 

Some days it's harder to get the defenses back up. 

Some days I just feel too tired. 

The Coffins Are Empty But The Graveyard's Full

People don't have to be 6 feet under in order to be dead. 

You can turn anyone into a ghost,

so it's easier to just pretend you're dead. 

Sometimes I even forget. 

Jane Doe

"The autopsy report came in", he said. 

"What was the cause of death?", she asked.

"His name, etched and bloody on her heart", he replied, "She never had a chance."

The Refusal

I don't want to love you anymore, so I took it all and buried it somewhere in the confines of my being. It's under lock and key, I never let myself feel it..

But that doesn't always keep it from seeping out. 

I hate the way that feels. 

The Empathized

"Don't rush into anything.

Don't listen to people. 

Everyone handles life at their own pace. 

Sometimes you just need a minute. 

Just to be 'okay'."
