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 boy who was (never) good enough

I may be off-base But I think I recognize it This desire to give As a way to provide Yourself with a pleasing identity. A way to be loving A way to be loved Giving up your own needs  For the sake of harmony. Did you have a mother who was always sad? Were you the one to delight her? Did you face the pain of choosing a path That took you away or made you unkindly? Was your brother the asshole And you didn’t mind it Because it meant you could be the one To fix feelings all around you. And when you were older Did you pick girls that reminded You of the woman who was always demanding? And did you feel good  When you provided  All of the joy that wasn’t inside her? But when you messed up Were you the same disappointment? The boy who was (never) good enough But couldn’t stop striving. I hope one day you see That you’re worthy of love Without needing to give Or be perfect. Above all I hope you reme...

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.
