black screen


I am a black screen 

I am someone who is afraid to tell you who I am 

I am hiding in the dark 

I am the darkness that is trying to break free too the light 

I am a black screen 

I am an eccedentesiast 

Who hides faking their smile for someone who acts as if they care 

I am afraid 

I am afraid of what you'll think of me 

I am the person whose light just won't shine bright enough for you to see 

I am the trash on the floor waiting for someone to pick me up 

Im waiting for someone to acknowledge me 

Im am a black screen 

I am the light but when will  you stop being scared and light the fire 

To set me free

Don't you care that im hurt 

Don't you care that im lonely but not ALONE 

Where is your heart because im trying to find mine 

I just can't think to talk to you 

I am a black screen 

IM giving you signs but you're ignoring them 

The melody is the curse of music is what keeps me sane 

The colorful screen is what keeps me away 

I am a black screen don't turn me away 

Miles away feet away now im here don't walk away 

Im asking now so don't get mad 

I wish she was here so  I don't have to ask.

Why does it have to be this way 

Why is my life so blank 

Does it have a purpose 

Why am I a bundled blanket 

Why can't I uncrumble 

I guess will just have to wait and see…
