I took a stencil and outlined every person They fit the page but they all lacked contentment Building walls just to tear them apart Reconsider everything that you are I found it easier to go down the hard way Everyone's talking but you don't hear what they say Falling away from everyone that you've known Not seen as tragic, just the way that it goes I picked a page and watched it burst into ashes But left myself to rot away in the past tense And when I come back to this place that I've hated I'll let myself go cause there's no one to save this Falling away into the hands of a stranger The lights go out, illuminating the anger I took a pencil and outlined all I had left It fit the page but the meaning lacked purpose Emily Shives Nov. 11th 2009 |

"Building walls just to tear them apart Reconsider everything that you are" "I took a pencil and outlined all I had left It fit the page but the meaning lacked purpose" This hit me squarely. |
