Confidence is key.
Where would I be without this essential trait?
Building my own confidence has been a huge challenge.
It starts from my chest
And begins to bubble up
Until it escapes
My frozen lungs begin to melt
and the words begin to spill
My burning heart relights
Walking down the hall
I see so many faces
Faces of people I know
But never speak to
And the loud girls
They make friends so fast
But the shy ones
What chance do they have?
You ask why I go against the grain
It is because it I am above it
I am more superior then those who make rules
I am not a follower I am a leader
You cannot stop me from doing what I want
Your lifeYour choiceYour bodyYour voice
You can say noYou can yes
In the end, you live with the mess
It's your lifeYour choiceYour bodyYour voice
The pale moon floats in the sky
I wake up in the dead of night
These are the nights that I despise
Where there is no hope, no light
It is always Dark

Countless thoughts
Afraid I’m the only one
Remember back then when I said I was all for me yeah I lied Writing this at 3 am with my pillow full of tears that I've cried Why did I lie maybe because I thought saying it to myself would make it real
You think you broke me with what you said.
You think you broke me and left me for dead.
THOUGHT I'd be submerged into your idea of beautiful.
THOUGHT I had to change to be considered normal.
