<p>Go ahead. Critique them as much as you want. Rip me and my creativity to shreds. Oh and there are probably various grammatical errors sprinkled throughout, I've written most of this in the Notes app.</p>
<p>I'll put one to start:</p>
<p>I'm so afraid of all the things I'll never be.
Cast away in an ocean of anonymity.
Lost and misdirected, help isn't here.
My only hope is gone, this is the end of my year.</p>
<p>I wonder how the world would feel,
If I left one day and never came back.
Rolling through the hills and fields,
I'll never know the things I lack.</p>
<p>And I slow down.
And I slow down.</p>
<p>Everything that I could be,
Is lost inside a world, save me
From obvious informant lies
Your face serves as your one disguise.
I work so hard to see this through,
When enough is enough I will have you,
But only in the end will I succeed,
The lines are what you cannot read.</p>
<p>So slow down.
So slow down.</p>
<p>I'm afraid.
I'm afraid of this.
This monster that I feel inside,
It could kill but I would hide,
Without a reason or a place,
I know that I will win this race.
The dark is where I feel at home,
The light will shine but I'm alone,
I speak to those that I can see,
But only so that I can be</p>
<p>Happy.*
Happiness is hard to find,
Not in fame or hollywood signs,
Happiness you cannot see,
All the things you'd give to be,
The things you'd give to have a taste,
Of joyful thoughts and no disgrace.
You keep your eyes trained on your back,
Because no one's there and that's a fact.</p>
<p>Isolated, imitated,
I'm so alone.
The words they float around my head,
Putting them on paper my minds ironically fled.</p>
