Ashamed to walk around with my head up high
Having to hide who i am; afraid of being denied
Always hoping for some type of acknowledgement
Of my accomplishments in my maturity

Skin me alive until my blood runs dry
And drop me wingless and incapable to fly
Or hold me upside down until my head explodes
And decifer my insides like matrix codes

You have found what makes me tick
And you constantly feed me all that makes me sick
I gather my obstruction amuses you
For it seems to be a hobby that consistently grew

To punish me and believe that it's guidance
When in fact it's my long overdue subsidence
An earthquake of unattainable relaxation
Pulling me back into an unaccomplished expectation

Hung up to be eaten away by the earth that raised me
The circle of life has finally found me
A challenge that i shall attempt to break apart from
But this increasing sensation still keeps me numb

"Think of your friends as your parachutes
We're all hoping you pull us before you fall
And if you do we're here to guide you to where you
Want to go and of course to keep you from getting hurt"

Those are the words of advice
From a friend i couldn't live without
Who with the most sincerity
Loves with all he's got

I cant help but turn to him
Whenever im a mess
He's my light when it goes dim
Always there for me, he's the best
