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 my chips

And only pain will stay.

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.

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 lov...
