Once upon a time

My life is a fairytale

I am not the beauty

I am the beast

Ugly and twisted

With no one able to love me

Eyes Wide Open

I've been walking 
With my eyes closed
Down a path 
That I don't know


Faith is what I needed
Something I couldn't remember
I had shoved it away so long ago


So I started walking 
With my eyes closed
Down a path
That I didn't know


I was afraid to fail
Like so many times before
And add more regrets to the load


But I started walking 
With my eyes closed 
Down a path 
That I didn't know


I don't want to be alone anymore
And you seem to know
Offering your hand for me to hold


My eyes are wide open
We both take a step
Down a path
That I'm starting to call home

Fight

You've never pushed me around
I've never felt the sting of a slap

But as fists flew from your mouth
They cut and bruised more
Than any punch thrown could

We stood in shocked silence
Startled in the aftermath

Love

Quiet contentment

Is how I want love to be

If it should ever

happen to me

Alone

I don’t need you

You don’t need me

Indifferent is the way to be

I don’t need you

You don’t need me

There has never been

A safer place to be
