You were always willing to love.
You always cared about me.
I wish I had known you were miserable.
I wish I could've eased your ache.
I guess I can only wish you the best.
You're much happier now, I assume.
Promise to remember me, as I will
treasure your memory.
I know that you're a dog,
but they make the best of friends.
I know that you'll make new friends now.
Though I'll still miss you here.
Rest peacefully. I love you so.
Two sides. Two options.
Victory or defeat.
Relief or else grief.
Life versus death.
Which do you choose?
Flip the coin, the double-sided enemy
The one to choose our fate.
Wait for the coin to fall,
For our fate to call us over.
To tell us if we won,
Or that we lost.
Sometimes, all you know are the things you don't know.
Sometimes, the only thing you can do is nothing.
Sometimes, when the world is ending, you can only turn and pretend it isn't.
That's what I've come to understand.
Sometimes, the most confusing questions have the most simple answers.
Answers so simple, sometimes they might seem irrelevant.
Sometimes, you're scared to learn the answer.
Sometimes, you're scared to know the truth.
Sometimes, you're scared to trust others.
Sometimes, you're scared to trust yourself.
On occasion, you're scared to know yourself.
You don't always want to know who you are.
Sometimes, that's the hardest thing o
I'm spinning and I'm weak.
I'm dizzy, I can't speak.
I don't know what's going on.
I don't know where I belong.
"Don't be scared," they always say,
but I'm sure I've lost my way.
The woods are thick and much too wide.
I've lost myself, I've lost my pride.
Words weigh down my heavy chest.
I'm pretty sure I've failed the test.
I'm not strong, and about to fall.
I hope I'm not losing it all.
Black and cold, scared and alone,
Though surrounded by a broken home.
Broken people and broken dreams,
Dark and empty as a hole can be.
A friend watches her struggle from afar,
Wishing she could help heal her scars.
Feeling so useless and very afraid,
She hopes that her friend can get through this day.
This time, I think, she'll be okay.
A mistake, a trap, you never forget
The strings of lies, the webs of regret,
Woven together in a blanket of shame.
You wish nobody could remember your name...
Sticks and stones may break one's bones,
But words leave wounds that never heal.
Insults, name-calling, and rumours
Make a person afraid to feel.
Maybe they don't know it hurts,
But it works just like a knife.
Sticks and stones may break your bones,
But words might take your life.
Another F, another D.
Do you care? Can't you see?
You can't continue, honestly.
Are you stupid? You're not scared?
Don't be useless and just stand there!
Why would you think you're being fair?
You're worthless and you're ugly, too.
No wonder why you're so confused.
... Sometimes, the biggest bully is you.

True Story (names changed)
"Don't you understand?!" Her voice rang throughout the house. I had never seen her like this before. It hurt me to watch her, so I looked at the ground instead.
"I understand, Anna, but we don't have much of a choice," Mutti replied. Tears choked her voice. I knew how hard it must be, for Mutti to try to stay strong the way she did.
"I'll do anything!" Anna begged. "I can't lose him. I can't." My eyes stayed firmly on my knees. I felt kind of useless, like I should have done something, but hadn't. Tears slowly started to form in my eyes.
"I'm afraid there's nothing we can do." Chrystine was the only one in the room without tears in her eye
I'm hiding words I can't express.
I'm hiding thoughts deep in my chest.
I'm sure they're harmless, but I'm scared.
Of your reaction, I'm too aware.
My failure is too big to hide.
Why do you still, in me, take pride?
I've done nothing but let you down.
How could you still want me around?
The life I've led, the lies I've told,
Not satisfied with what unfolds.
I'll try to turn myself around
So I no longer let you down.
