Curate, connect, and discover
Is there a reason
You feel so alone
With all these people
Surrounding you?
The sun is shining
And the birds are out
Summer air against your skin
But it’s still winter inside.
You’re locked in a cage
Made up of your mind
The monsters are out
And they won’t rest.
Put on a smile
Don’t let them see
How many cracks
You have burning inside.
You can take another day
And your lungs will keep on moving
So focus on happy thoughts
And you’ll be fine.
But now the winter air is biting deep
And it’s getting hard to breathe
Through all this falling snow
And the beasts hunting you.
You’re pounding against the bars
In this cage you’ve made in your brain
But the howling wind and the blanket of snow
Are melding together and leaving you treading
This deepening water
An ocean of silence
That swallows your screams.
Take a deep breath
And paste the smile back on.
Focus on the happy thoughts
And take another pill.
If nobody wants to hear your words
That’s alright, you’ll be fine
Keep your mouth shut, you know,
Conform and don’t be crazy-
Others have it worse anyways.
You don’t remember when
Those pills began to stop
And now your heartbeat is racing
From the killers in your head.
It’s all so much
And now you must be insane
Because nobody else says a word
About suffering like this.
Your mask is far too much
A weight you can’t remove
You’re a bird with clipped wings
A flower with no stem.
You’re chained up in your own mind
Gagged by your own fear
Pills by the handful
Just to feel alive.
Time is fading to a fuzzy haze
The only constant this endless nightmare.
You just want to smile again
You just want to feel whole again!
Cause and effect but this is effect without a reason
What’s the cause, what’s the root
Of this sickened tree?
They ask if you’re afraid of death
Chastise you for these reckless thoughts
And tell you to just grow up.
So how do you tell them
That you’re not afraid of death anymore?
The hell in your head
Is so much worse
Than any hell a religion could offer.
You’re not afraid of the reaper
Or any judgmental god
You’re afraid
Of this life.
Silence is a blade
Cutting your skin
But words make the cuts
Sink all the deeper still.
Anything to end this pain
Anything to cut the chains
Holding you hostage to the demons inside
If heaven is real that’s not where you’ll go
Because this pit can’t be climbed out of
The walls are too sharp
And trying only broke your will.
Every moment of this hell
Is too much, it’s a crushing weight
Anything at all
To end this pain.
Life isn’t fair
And god, don’t you know it
You’re so tired
And the waters are deep
So maybe it’s time
To set you free.

Shin's birthday was a few days ago and I wanted something fluffy for his day, I didn't saw a lot so I made one myself, also this is my first post so there might be mistakes. Likes and reblogs are deeply appreciated, have a nice day!

Nine in the morning, and still no answer from the man beside you. You have been up for about and hour or so, and as you lay wondering what to do next, your boyfriend turns around facing you, some drool slipping out of his mouth and a cute bedhead accompanying it. You admire his beauty for a while until you remember something very, very important, so you carefully step out of the bedsheets, trying not to wake the sleepy man. You quickly head out of the room to go straight to the kitchen of the apartment. You tie your hair in a messy ponytail and start doing breakfast, you try your best even though pancakes and coffee aren't your speciality, but intention is what counts, right? Once the food is finished you rush to the room where your boyfriend lies, carrying the food you just prepared, checking first if he was still asleep, which he was, and closing the door behind you loud enough for Shinichiro to hear, you get near his side of the mattress, calling out to him a few times until he opens his eyes, revealing beautiful black orbs, the instant you notice this movement you smile and start singing an old song, everybody knows it but it still manages to get a surprise. Shinichiro recognizes the song almost inmediately, he sits properly to pay full attention to your enchanting voice and sees the breakfast you prepared. When you finish the melody he makes a sign for you to get next to him and as soon as you do he plants a chaste kiss to your lips, so full of love and appreciation, making you feel more in love, making you remember again about what your forgot in the start of the day, and making you realize why you did all this surprise. It was his day. His birthday. A special day dedicated all to him, to be grateful about his presence in this world, and you got the first moments of such beautiful event. He made you feel in paradise every second you spent together and today was adequate to demonstrate how much you loved him. So as the kiss ended you brought closer the pancakes, on top of them where 23 candles waiting to be blown out, to be wished upon. With a smile you said to him "Happy Birthday my love", to which he responded with another smile and a blow to the candles.
