Elaborate LieHappiness is a fickle thing
It flits in front of your eyes for a moment
And then it is gone
You reach for it
Claw the empty air
But nothing greets your fingertips

But it’s easy to grab a fake off the shelf
And drape it over your shoulders
It’s rough and ugly
But it is all you have.

Empty smiles and laughs fool everyone
Tell a joke and they think you’re okay
A fake smile is all you need
And you can move on in the world
An empty laugh covers up the pain
So you can suffer alone
And pretend to be stronger than you really are
Can’t you see through my disguise?
Can’t you see I’m on my knees?
Begging
Plea
Beautiful SilenceAll is quiet
In the house of night
The blackness creeps in my window
and cloaks my room with its body
I am lying on the ground
looking at the ceiling
Wide eyed and unblinking
Counting the stars in the sky
The carpet under me is thick and red
My heair is spread around my head
a silky brown halo
Beautiful
Nobody speaks
Nobody moves
Nobody breathes
Because nobody knows what I have done
When they wake up
and the light fills my room once more
I know what they will do
they will call my name
open the door
and fill my beautiful silence
with screaming
ShadowsDo you see me
when I walk by?
Am I noticable?
Do I catch your eye?

Or am I a shadow
That means nothing to you?
Because when you look at me
you just stare straight through

I know I am here
I'm in front of you now
But you don't notice me
and I don't understand how

How can you not see
my small shattered core?
Am I not good enough?
Do you really want more?

Do you not know
the things that I've done?
All the cuts that I've made?
All the lies that I've spun?

No, it's not that you don't see me
It's that you don't care.
You don't want to see the girl
standing right there

That small crippled soul
That took one hit to shatter
But that is alrigh

It took me four tries to draw that damn spider. Those stupid spindly legs they have are a bitch to place and make them all look right. So really I totally understand how hard they are to draw. GRRR spiders.

Thank you so much for the comment!!!
