A Mind of My Own (Part 1)

Your Shoes

Step into my shoes

No.

I’ll step into yours

Walk your walk, talk your talk

Sing like you, so loud

Dress like you, so bold

Act like you, so cold

Live like you, so gold

I want to be like you

I want to walk in your shoes

Beauty

Her beauty is the sun

A glow no one knows

A star so bright

The moon in the night

A light like no other

Let Me Out

Gotta go—let me out

Out of this town

Out of this city

Out of this state

Out of this country

Off this world

And into the nothingness

Let me out, let me out

Our Darkest Hearts

They say that living is the best thing in the world

They’re wrong

Living in pain and suffering on the daily basis

With only some light shining through

You want to tell someone, anyone

What is wrong with you?

What dark thoughts haunt your mind

You can’t, though

You feel like if you do, then they will think of you as abnormal or insane

They tell you to get over your depression—that it’s just a phase

You say that no matter how much you go out and do things—fun things

That when you come back home you lie in bed

You’re back in that state, depressed, not caring

They don’t understand

They never will

The darkness consuming your mind is like a drug

It can become addicting at times

The darkness is there more than the light

It’s harsh thoughts, that much is true

But that’s how it is

No changing the rules
