From The Ashes

***Trigger Warning - Mental Heath Issues***
I open up and the love
Pours through like a season real
But it’s like my soul is a steal
And everyone’s vying for the highest bid
So I found a cavern and hid
And some call it the activity room
I call it the shelter from doom
As they discuss my mental state
I could tell them off but it’ll have to wait
Coz at that time they had all the power
And I was a princess trapped in a tower
By a horrible man
And I can
Only hold my head up high
Because the spirit in me is not gonna die
Or get broken in, wild horse on the loose
You won’t lead me to the noose
With your talk me down farewells
And your sympathy with some kind of hell
You have constructed
I had it all and you think I fucked it up
But I was just waiting for a more peaceful plain
For the phoenix in me to rise again

The Trauma

Does the pain go by the name of trauma
And are we just flora and fauna
In the Garden Of Eden
What do you believe in
Coz I know you’re atheist
But it doesn’t erase the trust
I have in the Divine
And if I say I’m doing fine
It would be a lie
Coz people die
And I try to stem the flow
Of holding on to let go
It gets ripped from you
Out of the hands it once poured into
And you hit me like a smash and grab
And I know you’re not just a lad
Who’s down with the girls
I uttered; “you are my world”
And you balked
I almost wish we never talked
Coz it landed me in hell
In an all-but-name kind of cell
Where they were super nice to me
But tried to change me by degree
By offering medication
So I might change the station
But I am the screen
The pictures that move are the dream
But I can convince no one
So I just let the drum
Beat me til I’m nothing new
But I can’t claim it was for you
Coz I let go the true
In a sunset kind of hue
That wakes to pay it’s due
I faked the sleeping thunder blue
