Reluctant

I like to hide
In conspicuous places
So I might be found
And inquired as to what is wrong
I want to tell how I feel
And what is wrong
But I want it coaxed from me
As if I am reluctant
To burden the world

Fall

A fierce red flame
Dances before my eyes
Is it growing larger
Or is it a trick of light?

A desert out before me
As daunting as it seems
No one stands near me
As I'm haunted by my screams

A darkness overhead
And no stars to be seen
This is the weakest
I have ever been

A grit is building inside
Rubbing my insides raw
I'm not sure if I will
Get up after I stumble and fall

Pain and Memory

I've been let down
I've been lied to
I've suffered for others
I've suffered for days

My pain makes memories
That I wish I could forget
My pain shows my weakness
That I wish I could forget

I've been set on fire
I've been left to die
I've lost my mind and soul
I've lost my body and life

My memory makes me broken
And I'll never be whole again
My memory makes me fearful
And I'll never be whole again

I Hate You

I hate you
And I've never met you
But you've trespassed against me
And I don't know how I'll forgive you

I hate you
And I've said I won't
But you've injured me deeply
And I don't know how I'll get over it

I hate you
And I'm stuck with you
Being some small part of my life
And I don't know how I'll live with that
