People Will Never Appreciate The Things You Do

What is wrong with some people.
He did everything for us, if it weren't for him we wouldn't be where we are today.
And now that we've "grown up" we know better than he does? You think he is no longer needed?
He is our greatest asset.
If you ask me that alone proves that we have only "grown up" in the numerical sense, and our minds are still full of ego and we are still as stupid as we where when we were young kids.
And how dare you criticize him, I don't see any of you getting up and trying to better our surroundings and teach our children.
So until you have actually attempted to do something other than point a finger at someone, you have no right to tarnish his name and condemn his actions.
Well you wanted him out of the picture, and courtesy of you, he has stepped back.
I will greatly enjoy watching you try to do everything he's done with your limited knowledge and time.
It won't work.
And it will only be a matter of time before you begin to regret it.
Maybe then you will learn.

And I Will Not Put Up A Fight As You Push My Head Underwater

Open your eyes, I mean really open them and look at the person standing before you.
I understand that I am not who you want me to be, I never have been nor will I ever be.
Stop being hostile towards me.
I will not allow you to live your life through me.
I will not live out your dreams, I will live out my own.
I don't need your approval.
I'm tired of hearing you complain about how you no longer want to be alive and how nothing in your life has turned out the way you wanted.
Then I have to deal with that look you give me that tells me the " thing that didn't work out right " is me.
Well guess what?
We don't get perfect lives, neatly gift wrapped and waiting on our doorsteps.
You just make the most of what you are given.
And that is where you fall short.
I don't want your mediocre life.
I don't want your angst.



I need your affection, maybe even your love...

The Cold Sets In So Deep, I Don't Think It Will Ever Depart

"Vanity, I tell you. You're gonna sit in front of a mirror and use the crown as a pretext to look into your pretty eyes and see if you find anything. But you won't."
I don't think I ever did.

I'm a mess of insecurities
Please tell me that I'm a turn-off
An Ugly, a Nobody, a Clone.
I'm the epitome of narcissism
Please tell me that I'm amazing
Beautiful, a Star, a Cosmetic-MTV.

I think... I used to love you.
The old you, the one who showed me the art in the world.
Now I come home and smell dirty sheets.
Sometimes... when I look at you, I can almost see your eyes flash, When you look almost alive again.

And The Children Cry As Their Loved Ones Leave

Some times I wonder if this will be the last time I ever see your face.
Everytime you leave, this is the one thought that is sure to enter my mind.
Thus far, it hasn't been true.
You leave and then you return.
One day i know you won't and when that day comes the gap in my heart will never fully close.
I watch you walk away.
I close my eyes and let the warm tears comfort my soul.
