Failure is scaryIs it Because of laziness?Is it my fault? Am I dumb? And then I listen to “Wavin’ Flag” and I feel my head lifting I know I can make it through I am determined I am strong

I am free. no fear can bound me.

Holes, Holes, Holesoh, how they scare my soulThey make me feel so itchy,I get uncomfortable to a point of being bitchy.

spiders, spiders, spidersew so creepy crawlyThey make me feel so twitchyI get uncomfortable to a pt of being lashing out

sitting there in a cornerthere he sat,looking at mecovered with bruises, cutsand wearing an angry facehe said:“I am you and you are me”

That’s just a little bit creepyThat’s not really me.I hope, but I don’t know.Because there he sits,saying “I am you and you are me.”Just a little too creepy.

It sucks be last for lab,to realize 7 hrs have gone by studying for that chem exam,to see that friend surpass page 17 in half the time you spentand to feel like you’re a failure.but it’s OKwe try our best sometimes it sucksand sometimes we cheer upmaybe one day I won’t

Mixed signals, mixed emotionTaking words the wrong wayStubborn beliefs in righteousness and justicecausing world’s problems

You never know what lingers in the dark.With the creaks, thumps, and whistles it is hard to see beyond you.The unknown is frightening.The uncertainty is terrifying.

Mixed feelings, mixed understandingsMisrepresenting right and wrong.Clashing of opinions and thoughtWhere to go now?

Tik tock, all you hear is the beating of your own heart.sweaty palms and racing Thoughts, What is going on?The unknown is frightening.The uncertainty is terrifying.

I fear alienationI don’t want to feel like I’m from

an enemy nation.Where no matter what I’d do I’d be aloneAnd I’d be singing a lone tone

Maybe it’s trite but if we stop we can see“Alone” is “all one”– we’re all our own nationsall alone togethershould we be isolat Do we need to feel isolated all alone, together?

there once was a girl from orange countywho appeared to always be frowny but she wasn’t mad sometimes she’s just sad and people a l seem terrifying

There once was also a girl from the lone star stateWho also seemed to have the same fateThen the two girls metAnd they had a great fate.

This doesn’t rhyme… -_-

A common fear we all have

But we all face in life

Can you guess what it is?

It is that most basic fearA fear we fear in lifeThough we it is never fulfilleduntil we can no longer fear it

Sometimes I thinkwhen I’m walking through the hallor brushing my teethor putting on my shoes:What if something happens now?An earthquake– a crash–

Going through lifeHappiness, stress, confusionUnaware of possible trageties

…Damn

spelling

I fear when someone won’t return.If my mom doesn’t come back home around 5 from work.Did something happen?Is she late because of an accident?If she’s dead,What will happen to me?What if it’s just car troubles?As a child I sometimes pressed a finger to my mother’s wrist, to check ifto feel her warm pulse, against my finger tips watch theovals of her nostrils slowly dilate as sheslept. the possibility of deathnever outside the realms of my imagination. As her chest rose and fell next to mine, I sta my eyes lifted to the ceiling. imagining all the possible deaths–

In the wide expanse of an empty room the walls closing in curtains wrapping around my body like gauze.paper, scattered on the tiles solitude– the deafening sound of my own silence.The silence keeps ringing and doesn’t stop.The silence extends far into the future.It goes beyond the grave and into the generations that come after me.The empty room disappears, but thesilence continues.
