“Skeleton Smile”
Tomorrow is always unpredictable.
My heart’s running on empty.
Sometimes everything just collides.
Everything crumbles at my finger tips.
Uncontrollable havoc unleashed.
Here I stand in the eye of the storm.
I cover my face and hide.
Perfect days are only in dreaming.
I’m so scared; I don’t know what to do.
Am I supposed to apologize?
I want to run and cover my eyes.
I don’t want to witness this.
Expecting the worst and multiplied by rage.
Sorry being me and being alive hurts you so.
You can’t lock me in a cage, you’re not me.
But the things you will do or say,
I’m afraid to wake up.
The candle burns rapidly.
I’m still waiting.
Thin, lit ablaze, pursuing me.
What will happen when it’s burnt to zero?
I want to step into the abyss.
I’m not all you make me out to be.
Don’t be unreasonable.
I won’t desecrate who I am,
I’m not going to demote myself,
So you can be happy with me.
The darkest of times open up, a little.
And it makes you angry.
Jealousy so unfair and so childish.
Gaping wounds come to a close.
I’ll murder myself.
Take my smile and throw it to the ocean.
Sink below the shadow of a dream.
Look how I used to.
Act how I used to.
So maybe you’d be comfortable being my friend.
So that you can feel better about yourself.
At the expense of my blood and tears.
I know it’s what you want so tear me down,
And shut my mouth.
