If I die today
That will be okay
Because I know longer care
Who I ever was
What I ever did
I live my life because
I must
And today I am free

life
Another place and time
Today I rise with hope
Hoping things will stay this way
Hoping that this time
I will have a hand to hold
There is so much more to me
Then one story to be told
There are many layers
Many scars beneath my skin
If you want to know who I am
The story starts within
I am shaped from betrayal
Pain and many lies
Shaped by those who have come and gone
With no need for goodbyes
If you look at me
I will show you what lies beneath
But only if you take my hand
And wander with me today
Only if you take my hand
And accept me as I am
Broken but still breathing
Mended here and there
I have dreams that keep me going
When it hurts I take myself there
To another place and time
That exists inside my mind
Come with me and you will see
All that is left of me
Nyx
A place for us
Deep within my soul
I know there are pieces left
Parts that will one day make me whole
Someday you will see
That there is so much more to me
Then the girl who walked away
There is so much more to me
Than just one story to be told
One day when I walk the earth
There will be others behind me
I will show them the way
I will show them where there is land
A place for all of us
It exists inside my heart
It is the home of the forgotten
The ones who were once lost
The ones that thought they were dammed
All they needed was compassion
I give to all of you my hand
With all my love,
Nyx
We are what we will ourselves to be.

Hope
I saw myself in someone else today
I wanted to take her hand
And give her hope
I wanted to tell her I understand
Nyx
A shadow
I exist
As a shadow
I float through the world
They hear my voice
But I do not let them see through the smoke
As I flow through the air
Because I know that I can switch it off
And no longer care
A blessing and a curse
Forward than reverse
I long to be whole
But maybe this will never be
All I can do is hope
Nyx
Let go
I barely make it through
Everything that I do
No matter what I have done
I have yet to feel the sun
It does not shine upon my face
There is no warm welcoming embrace
As I find myself here
There is no one near
No one to wipe away my tears
No one to soothe me
No one to shield me from my fears
So, I just fall
Further into the dark
I see nothing in this place
So, I close my eyes
And let go
Nyx
Quote for today
“There is good in everything, if only we look for it.”
— Laura Ingalls Wilder
Need to pretend
I would rather suffer
In any other way
Then feel the things I feel
Every single day
It does not stop this cycle
Will it ever end
When will I find peace
When will I no longer
Need to pretend
Nyx
For them
Tomorrow the sun will rise
As I close my eyes
I see the world turn black
Sometimes I want to stay this way
Keep them closed forever
There are a few things that keep me here
So I will open them again tomorrow
Push past the sorrow
And walk out the door
Not for me but for them
I will fight until the end
Nyx
