Believe it or not, you've inspired,
Something inside with which hope can be acquired.
Despite the memories burnt in the fire,
I'll always remember us and reach ever higher.
Next time I think I'm too tired,
How will you know when it's finally over?
Who will you be when you no longer exist?
What will you do with eternal freedom?
When will you begin to accept the present moment?
Where will you be when you wake up dead?
What exactly am I trying to hide from myself?
Why can't I feel good without chemical help?
What is so terrible about being sober?
Trading it all, is it finally over?
I haven't felt so relieved in my life.
I want you gone forever.
Leave and don't return.
You asked me if I remembered
all the good times we had,
and I do.
You say you need me
you want to be with me
you love me
or do you
But... will you love me
when I’m awake at 11pm,
and 1:30 am, AND 3 am
Shaking, crying
rocking back and forth
Warm feelings
Memories of smiles
And outrageous laughter
With silly wiles
And for some
A happily ever after
Drowning in ecstasy
Waves of joy
Washing over me
Crushing me in bliss
The first time I was bullied I was in elementary school
"freak,"
"weirdo,"
"loser,"
they would call me
So I ran to the teacher, tears burning my eyes
She told me to get over it
March 25 2012
When I was 6 years old I lost something
It wasn’t just anything
Not something that can be replaced at a store
Not a thing
But a who,
At just six years old I lost my father,
I DO THINGS FOR OTHER PEOPLE
JUST TO MAKE THEM SMILE
OR LAUGH
BUT DEEP INSIDE I KNOW IM NOT HAPPY
I PUT UP A FAKE SMILE ALMOST EVERYDAY
MY FAKE SMILE MAKES ME FEEL WEAK AND WEAKER
Pessimism, be gone!
Disappear,
like evaporation.
Get out of here,
go!
You must-
have to.
I COMMAND it.
I am stronger than you,
no matter what you say.
You've crippled my mind,
Saw you again today.
Made me insecure because
I didn't know which I wanted to do more;
I don't want you in here
You don't belong here
You DON'T LIVE HERE
Just stop
Walk out the door and close it behind you
At least shut up
I'm ignoring you hoping you will leave
Strangers.
Circled in a dome.
Mentally,
Phyically Open
Mentally Closed.
Emotions fall out
Tears out of control.
Imprisioning ourselves.
The shackles break
Love
May I lay with you?
It is not to fill in my void, gutted by loneliness.
Nor to feel a sexual pleasure.
Though I can, it would not be to tell you my life story.
Down her face streamed the tears,
Of 20 years.
Of 1,043 weeks,
Of feeling weak.
Of 7,304 days,
Of being in a daze.
Of 175,316 hours,
Of thinking, how are
We supposed to go on from here?
Your mind is roaming, so full of thoughts. You cannot stop thinking, your mind is so wrought. Constantly doing something for others, expecting nothing in return. Silently seeking happiness and someone elses concern.
Fireflies dance beneath the moonlight,
Their little bulbs flashing bright.
The crickets sing their favourite song,
Encouraging me to sing along.
The smell of flowers tints the air,
Thinking, hoping, praying,
Wishing, wanting, saying,
Needing your friendship, your love,
your want, your trust.
You're everything to me now,
And I think I've got it all figured out...
I don't know whether it's pain or pleasure
but it hurts
But it hurts
so exquisitely
There's something wrapped too tight around me
and i can't breathe
but it hurts
So I pull it closer
It started with a man and a dream
He held his dream high in his right hand, for the world to see
It screamed, it yelled, it burst into motion
Its message was “Set me free”
There was no room in society for his dream
My spirit at rest
My mind at ease
Now
Finally
I see
You for me
and me for you
This is how
it was meant
to be
finally
