I'm an asthmatic.
Sometimes, I really struggle for breath.
And I have to stay calm.
Can't be mad or fanatic
That way, I walk to close to death
To very dangerous harm.
You treasure seconds
You store …
I don't know why, but sometimes, I'm scared of being replaced.
And I'm scared that replacement will be able to do everything I can
That if one day I was just suddenly erased
My replacement could just…
I had one of those rarest moments today
It was clarity, like a single word in ink
A moment of great rareness and sparsity
A moment where I could actually think
The feeling was enlightening
A release …
In this world of Monsters,
We're either charlatans or freaks
The charlatans, they try their hardest
To be seen as neither 'weird' nor 'unique'
The hide every imperfection
Every blemish that they per…
Ok, I'm about to speak about something
To which every reader can certainly relate
I'm talking about when you're talking
And plough straight on, and don't hesitate
Oops, see? You've done it now
You'v…
I was there on that most beautiful and fantastic of dates
A summation of two such painful and intertwined fates
Despite efforts to separate, the decided it was far easier to join
As two opposing side…
The paths you've taken are yours and yours alone
These paths define your current personality and tone
And lead you to where you are right now
Now while you can never take the same path twice
To revis…
I sometimes wonder what first impression I give
What criteria people judge me with
How I'm perceived, and how much the impression sticks
How long an impression takes to break, how many clock hand tic…
It's not to hard to find the pressure against you
Feel it building up and becoming immense too
These pascals are building up high
Units increasing not passing by
It's quite tough. And it comes from s…
Dear Sir, you've been nothing but obnoxious all evening
And normally, naturally, I'd just be enquiring as to the time of your leaving
But this time I feel special discipline must be enforced
Why are …
I've never needed to artificially produce a high
Never really done drugs, let me tell you why
Life is so thrilling and fantastic as it is
I don't need to do anything drastic for a fizz
To some peopl…
Goodbye.
It's a simple word isn't it.
Yet it contains so many different connotations and meanings that it can mean almost anything at all.
The simple goodbye,
For a friend you know
You'll meet again …

Hey, I'm just a fish in the sea
And guess what, there's plenty more of me
Always has been and hopefully always will be
But we don't taste the same, we're quite unique
See I'm aware I'm the subject of…
The world revolves at a steady pace of 360 degrees a day
The sun will rise and it will fall. But it will never stay.
The stars in the sky will eventually burn and change how a constellation is arrang…
Right now you're not the only person on earth
Right now there's a grandfather dying and a mother giving birth
Right now the world is spinning, and it's only one moment you may find
Right now is one m…
I think one of the scariest moments of my life, was when I realised I couldn't do it alone.
I could never be truly independent, never could do it just on my own.
From the moment we are born, we need …
It may not seem true, but everything has been leading up to this
You were born, one day long ago
With a world to explore with so much to know
So much potential, so many paths to explore
So many reas…
I've started to grow distant from some friends of old
And it's always painful when I realise that this is the case
That we've neared the end of our story to be told
We're still running, but no longer…
When I was younger, I used to look at the night sky and see nothing there.
It's just blackness and nothing, as substance-less as air.
And while that may have been true, it wasn't in the way I intende…
