Love me
It’s all I want
Love me
It’s all I need
Everyone is welcome
Love me
It’s all I want
Love me
It’s all I need
Every day I have doubt
I feel that I’m never good enough
I question why you’re with me?
If I deserve your love?
Every minute of no news
I feel so insecure
Thinking that maybe you’re mad me
Thinking I’m a bore
Then I hate myself
For just being there
For just existing
Blankly just to stare
I sometimes just wonder
Why I feel this way?
My demons taunting me
They’re family, here to stay
Impossible to explain away
The tears cannot be kept at bay
The angst, the weight of it all
Just too much when you feel so small
Want to shrink to disappear
Even that hope eaten for fear
Life so cruel as loved ones perish
Feelings you held on to and cherished
Finding a way in a foggy abyss
Invisible footsteps path is amiss
Questions unanswered for many years
Searching the truth oh so near
But it cannot be found what matters most
Passing your hands as if you’re a ghost
It almost seems too good to be true
Finally wounds start to heal
Even the knocks are temporary
Demons remain strong with prying claws
Ever so piercing in every swipe
But the wounds will eventually heal
Determination the healing aura
Searching for the garden fauna
Feeling camouflaged if just for a while
To gain one’s strength, eventually a smile
Even every false smile comes to an end
Desperation feeling easier with a friend
When happiness and sadness tend to collide
Our morale seems to always subside
Taking each day a step at a time
Taking solace in beer and in wine
To drink and drug the problem away
To hide from life, keep the demons at bay
Sink or swim to never be sure
Looking over our shoulders forevermore
Negative fights with us every minute of the day
Time to sleep always kept at bay
Shame full force, looking in the mirror
Fogged up glass, nothing is clearer
Can we breathe this dark oxygen?
Or should we just leave this life of sin?
Evasion is sweet
But it’s only temporary
For in the end
You are stationary
The voice is gone
As you just give up
Take what you want
I have nothing much
The barriers put up
In defence
Merely diversion
At what expense?
Sell your soul
To the devil opposite
Don’t ask forgiveness
He doesn’t give a shit
.
I’m so happy
Not to be controlled
To know what I want
Not to fold
To look at things
Really as they are
To be proud of myself
Love every scar
For every one tells a story
I love you
That’s what I tell myself
That’s what you should do
Ignore the haters
Their voices have a mute
You have the remote
Negative does not compute
I feel good
When did I last say that?
Say it now
Make it a fact

There was one thing you said to me
That stuck in my mind
I don’t remember your profile
But I remember your eyes
Upon kissing your lips you made me feel whole again
Just talking to me feeling as if you’re a friend
To feel good in myself to appreciate life once more
To feel wanted, not just nothing for ever more
To look into your eyes appreciating you there
To run my fingers through your long hair
To clasp your face with my fingers and thumb
To melt in your regard to go all numb
To glide my fingers over your palm
To trace your freckles feeling so calm
To count each time our lips touch for every kiss
To float as if in heaven in a cloud of bliss
To our final goodbye missing one thing
Holding you in my arms till the birds sing
I sit alone on this chair
Do you see me, do you see me?
I sit alone on this chair
Do you hear me, do you hear me?
Do I exist in real life?
Does my suffering count?
Do I exist in real life?
Can you hear me shout?
Why do you just walk by?
Why do you let me cry?
Why do you not care?
Why do you just stare?
I love hearing them laugh
It makes it a little easier
When life is just so meh
It gets me through the day
My obstacles are all made by my hands
My mind tells my mind you cannot
Why do we hit self destruct?
In a normal day I have to make everything impossible
But upon reflection and taking a step back to look through the fish bowl
I see it doesn’t matter
If I don’t have someone for the right reasons
Why should you force yourself?
Ideal is ideal
But it’s improbable
Life is too short for this
I’m gonna be imperfect
I’m better that way
Because imperfect is perfect
