One for all the Torture Poets!

This song is most definitely pop since when I was writing it, I had TTPD and My Boy Only Breaks His Favorite Toys stuck in my head.

Verse #1:

My experiences

Transpired into poetry

Expressing my feelings

Never thought they could be so poetic

Didn't need a therapist for misery's affliction

I came up with the solution

No need for a prescription

Poetry

Tragedy's life saving medication

Pre chorus:

So why do I still cry?

Tears pool in my eyes

Is it really a good thing to reflect on the pain in my life?

Chorus:

Someone should take this pen away from me

Exemplifying my misery

Uses my scars for inspiration

My sorrow,

The paper's ornamentation

Try as I try I can't stop

Once you start

It becomes a part of you

For better or for worse

I'm a poet anew

Verse #2

Be wary of the things you say to me

Don't want them to join my collection

Transcribed into tortuous poetry

Emotions and heartbreak are the seeds

But the soil where the flower blooms

Is within me

Takes root in my heart and makes sure I can't sleep

Spreads to my lungs

Now it just happens when I breathe

Pre chorus:

So yes, I do cry

Tears pool in my eyes

Not sure it's a good thing

Chorus:

Someone should take this pen away from me

Exemplifying my misery

Uses my scars for inspiration

My sorrow,

The paper's ornamentation

Try as I try I can't stop

Once you start

It becomes a part of you

For better or for worse

I'm a poet anew

Bridge:

Oh

I can't breathe

My sadness took root

It's in everything I see

Oh

Tragedy

Can you imagine

A time when she was happy?

Oh

Save me please

Someone take this pen away from me

Ever since it started I can't sleep

Too busy with lyrics and imagery

Oh

Not sure it's healthy

At least I'm expressing my feelings

Instead of letting them stay inside me

A ticking time bomb

Only stays dormant for so long

Bound to explode someday

Might as well happen in safe place

Notebooks can contain the explosion

A vessel for my internal torment

Pre Chorus:

I cry

Tears pool in my eyes

Picking up this pen to write every day and night

I cry

Tears pool in my eyes

Maybe that's a good thing

Chorus:

Please don't take this pen away from me

Exemplifying my misery

Uses my scars for inspiration

My sorrow,

The paper's ornamentation

Try as I try I can't stop

Once you start

It becomes a part of you

I'm better now that I'm a poet anew

Outro:

I cry

Tears pool in my eyes

Picking up this pen to write every day and night

I cry

Tears pool in my eyes

Maybe that's a good thing

Having a time where I'm not pretending I'm all right

I wrote this one so quickly and it's definitely one of my favorites!
