Two sides

It's easier for you to just walk away
Than it is to reach out to me
It's easier for you to just turn around
Than to see the depth of my despair
It's easier for you to just look through
Than it is to see the "real" me
It's easier for you to distance yourself
Than it is for you to care
It's easier for me to just look away
Than it is to see the betrayal in my eyes
It is easier for me to cry
Than it is for me to speak
It's easier for me to walk alone
Than it is to face rejection
It's easier for me to keep to myself
Than it is to create a new projection
It's hard for me to smile
When Im hurting
It's hard for me to talk
When you don't understand
It's hard for me to reach out
When I need help as well
It's hard and wounding
Trying to get up without a hand
If only once you'd really look at me
And see who I really am
If only once you'd really listen to me
And only try to understand
Why I want you to care about me
Without asking why
Then maybe you'd validate my feelings
And realize why I cry

 Your stray bullet
 When I think of you
 Untitled
 Unbreakable Foe
 Two sides
 Truly are a star
 Tomorrow is another day
 Tiny soldiers
 The Thief
 The Scenic Route
 The Message
 The Game
 Talking to the mirror
 Someone Just Like You
 She Doesn't Get It
 School Ends
 Rewind
 Rainbow
 Pretend it never happened
 Our beloved tyrants
 Only God knows when
 One Wish
 One wish
 Ode to the Green
 October Leaves
 My silent cry
 My Lucid Dream
 My Fav. Color is green
 My dream
 Misery in the Heart
 Maybe this will be the morning
 Maple Leaf
 Like an angel, you're wonderful
 Life
 Keeping a Night Sky Alive
 Its Over and She's Gone
 If She Only Knew
 If i could be..
 Idle Before the Motionless Lights
 I will come to you
 I long for the day
 I hope it's you
 I have never seen farther than you
 I Hate You
 I cannot seem to let you go
 I call my thoughts
 How happy she made us
 Home
 Girl of the Wind
 From point A to point B
 For you
 Far and Near
 Falling leaves
 Everything good goes away in the end
 Eraser
 Empty Hallway
 Don’t you ever
 Deja Vue
 Clones
 Being a Man
 Appreciate Beauty, Appreciate Life
 Angel in Disguise
 A Woman's Smile
 A Road So Covered in Snow
 A Dreamer, in years to come
