I don't know why, but I feel like a wreck Life isn't bad, but it's going to heck The pain comes, the tears go The heart bleeds, and the red river flows Hours took days in my child mind Living each moment, I put the future behind Now years later, I cry at the ticking time And ask myself if I'm happy with my life Not alone in this pain, but pleasure's far away It hurts right now, but night will turn to day I resolve to get better and live to the full The past two years tired me, and I feel the toll Been through months of hell and fear So good riddance to this year And thought I cry, a waste of time The new year will be mine
Darling, sweet child of grace You will always have a place So long as you do as I say And never think to disobey I can teach you many things, dear daughter Just promise not to turn to your father He reared you, but now you’re mine Your old life was a waste of time If you want anything, you must always ask My needs should never, ever come last I’m your mother and must always shine And my light is all that will reach your eyes Here you will stay; I will never let you go Only when you displease me do my true colors show I’ll swallow the key, for I’ll perish without you But to myself, I can’t admit this is true 🕸️🕸️🕸️ Dear mother, though that’s not who you are I used to love you, but my world is falling apart Sometimes I can’t believe the words you say For certain, I’ll perish with you if I stay The buttons aren’t on my eyes, and you can’t hide I understand your pain and fear deep inside But you haunt me and I must leave I’ll bite the hand and reclaim the key When I find my way home, I hope to forgive All I’ve been through, this life you let me live Maybe I’ll find love for you, but not now Once again, beldam, I’ll have to learn how

Bittersweet Brimstone Day
Bittersweet brimstone dayIn this hole my heart remains
A smile I can no longer feign
All I hear are lies from my brain
To the Angel, my life is a game
Am I sad, sickly, or insane?
Won't this bloody fiend be detained?
All my feelings I can't contain
But I can't let Her cruelness reign
For I am not the one to blame
I don't deserve the pain
And I am not a mistake
Bittersweet brimstone day
In this hole I shan't remain
I feel a fire in my heart
One that would do anything, everything, to right the unjust
An urge to protect and an anger for mankind
A hatred for the cruel, twisted, and backwards world
My ire becomes an inferno and tears run from my eyes
But I can’t save this tortured soul from Hell’s hands
For the world is obedient to the flip of a coin
Heads or tails, blue or red; the devil can’t decide
And I can’t do a damn thing
So many voices as angry as I, so many feel the flames burn
Angry yet powerless, hateful yet hopeless
But our voices do not overpower so easily
For just as many on the other side claim injustice
War is always
