Alive, Breathing
Is this whole thing a lie?
Like Peter Pan,
Will I float away to Neverland
And meet someone new and exciting?
I always feel like I’m dreaming
Even when I’m awake
Alive
Breathing
How?
I don’t even understand myself
Much less him
Much less you
Did you have to run and hide?
Life in my paradise broke
It went sour
I want power
This world will end someday
What do I care?
I’m just a girl,
No one special
Not beautiful
Not smart
Just here
And loving every minute of it
Tell me when my veins go black
And there’s a moonbow overhead
I’m waist deep in thought
When I think of you
I’m not so alone
Don’t hurt me
I’m already bleeding
I’m already cracked, broken
Don’t hurt me more
I am me
You are you
Help me
Save me
Alive
Breathing
Stop
