Funny how all these problems
Seemed so small but I got older
And now they look so tall
Wonderin' when they tip over and fall
If I get crushed will I regret it all
I wish that time would pause
What a hopeless thought
Trying to shed my flaws but it's a lost
Cause hospital full of gauze can't wrap
My scars all alone with my thoughts
And my twisted mind starts
Would I do it different?
Can't change but the thought
Is so persistent knowing that I shouldn't
Next page then I see that's all that's written
Over and over like all my other thoughts
Are forbidden that ink is permanent
Erase and erase but it's there again
Peace is a remnant each day see my
Pages panic setting in notebook and
I one in the same but I want it cut to ribbons

And one chapter turned to two
Friends stayed the same while I grew
I look back now see the truth
Stuff I didn't in my youth
Perspective changed it is new
Words are profound those you choose
Reveal friends I thought I knew
Do I revert to the old me?
Or grow up feeling lonely
I been deciding slowly
Plenty of time to get worried
Thoughts go up beat not good upbeat
I would if I could be
Happy don't look like me
I could but I would see
Someone else entirely
Stare blankly eyes look at me
I'm good never could be
Just me and look truly
Lively my book if it took from me
It would only put stormy
You look every nook and cranny
Might lose standing feet
When you see my loose sanity

I don't know what to do or
What to pick each road I see is
Only full of risk I hate for that which
I cannot predict I wish someone
Prepared me for this all confrontation
I always panic each time without fail
Like it's my patent unable to move
I just examine wish I had control
With my hands in growing up is a
Fight you can't win things will change
Prepare for on a whim I say these words
But don't know if I can feel out of place
Where I stand mind says feeling better is
Banned but I been making demands cause
