You

You give me something no one else can give
You make me brave
So that I think
We could make something out of this
Life could be so beautiful
But I shouldn't think like this
And yet, I've never felt so seen
So thoroughly understood
You meet me where I stand
And lead me to a higher ground
Just by being you.
Your gaze pierces through me
You unearth me.
I trust in every word you breathe
Your heart has earned my fealty
It's sometimes hard to breathe
When you're there beside me
Thrilling but also comforting
I lean into you so effortlessly
I never worry anymore
If I'm choosing right
Or thinking straight
You're the best bet I could ever make
I like you on the inside as much as out
I like your heart, your mind, your actions too
I understand your pain
I know about your fears
I see the broken parts that you try to hide
I've never cared like this
Not really on the inside
I'm selfless now and unafraid
Finally - I know how it feels to love.

The angry woman

I am the angry woman I'm bleeding white-hot rage My fury of tears will drown you You should all feel afraid.  My tongue is poised for lashing My feet are here to crush My lungs are filled with fire I cannot stop the rush. My skin is scalding ashes  Of a burning, ember heart My words beat down like hail My screams are lightning darts. Watch me drink the poison And wait for you to die I am the angry woman But you all think I lie.

The others

I only change for those who let me But they're too quick to forget me Already out the door As I want to give them more I'm only as happy as I choose But everyone tries to make me They're always trying to please me Instead of telling me what's wrong Am I too sentimental?  I don't ask too much.  Do I sound too certain?  They worry I will get resentful.  All the things they ask of me When in the end, I let it be I've never been one for convincing But they all say I'm a charmer It's only because I run warmer Than what they knew before I don't fake my emotions I'm no manipulator And if you got to know me,  You'd see I'm not a taker I don't fight, I won't fight I just laugh and I cry And I try real hard To make it look I'm alive.  Maybe I hide too much They can never tell my bluff I'm not misunderstood The moment they get me They're not sure if they should. Hope by hope I drip away Fading colour on my lips One by one I lose ...
