Speak to me  through your broken heart speak to me  until you're free trapped in sorrow and troubling times  but i know you want to be free

My world is crashing, I start to cry. I feel as if I’m going to die. My thoughts are racing, I cannot think. My life’s a mess, a tragedy. Heart starts pumping, I cannot breath.

Why is it that the more recovered I think I am, The happier I seem, The more I smile, The more open I am... Why is it that, inside, things might just be getting worse? It's a trick,

Anxiety gripped her, Its boney fingers long. She tried to resist its grip. But it grew tighter And tighter With each futile shake.

I resent you because you resent me because I resent you. I love you because I hate that I hate you. I'm angry with you because you're angry with me because I'm angry at you.
One moment you're fine Then all the sudden It hits you   Heart pounding Palms sweating Its hard to breathe   Everyone is asleep I need to calm down what can I do?

 I am laying here in my cold, unwelcoming room  Barely tired enough for my eyes to get heavy enough start to close But my mind is so full of thoughts and questions that I can't silence I cannot get my mind to quiet down enough for me to be carried
I have been forced to live with this stranger for 16 years. It’s not fun living with a basket case. She is the reason I was shunned by my peers. It’s not my fault, they have good taste.
