“Why are you upset?
Why are you so angry?”
You never treat me fairly
Or kindly for that matter
Oh great I’m fu***** crying
If my mother truly knew best,
then why is it that my father is here
and not her?
You keep telling me that I should trust in my mother,
BUT the second I do,
it gets thrown back in my face, ten-fold.
You ask me for a moment of my time
Like you think I’ve made a shrine
Of our long-lost memories
Here you are asking for anniversaries
Like we didn’t break up a family
How juvenile you most be to hold that which you hate so closely
You call me companion when, in your own mind, that word is synonymous with scum
You are the true "companion"
Rest in no less than peace
I told you that you took my breath away;
Little did I know that you were suffocating me.

Who is this woman?
She looks like my mom
She sounds like my mom
She smells like my mom
But she doesn't act like my mom
She is mean and cold and harsh
My mom is nice and kind and loving
When you've got something,
like a parent or something,
or maybe a pet of some sort.
you like it. and stuff.
And then you lose it.
And it suddenly becomes the most important thing.
We need to have control.
Not control on how we’re taught or what we wear,
but on the weapons put on display to be seen everywhere.
SometimesI am a lost causeSomeone who is Too depressingToo anxiousToo broken Too far gone In the silence that isMy own frayed mindAnd you don't wantThat mind receiving
It really sucks when you like a song.
No, when you love a song.
But you share this song,
with someone not worthy of the song.
I find it
Fascinating
The tiny
Futures we
Envision
With one
Another
Despite
Knowing in
An unsettling unrest in a country known for peace.
Manslaughter but not if the cop was confronting someone of color.
I am sad
but never mad
no one knows
why
I dont get how
people can smile
when they see
people cry
I've tried evading the situation
but I have bled for too long
and I can no longer be strong
My heart has called for a confrontation.
The betrayal is quite tiresome
I grew up, expected to be an adult I went through rocks and stabs I know we all fought People watched as if I was a cast No one gave me a hand we all grew up we all went through the wet sand growing with all of my lumps and dumps No one can se
why do I keep trying,
why do you want me fighting.
I am stressed
with myself.
Why do you want me here?
are you really in fear?
I'm the ugly sweater,
I'm just there so you may laugh
I'm the ugly sweater,
I'm here on your behalf
I'm the ugly sweater,
I've always been the same
I'm still the ugly sweater,
Came in a text message I couldn't do nothing but stay still in silence thinking it's a joke
I felt used where the values of my heart didn't have no artificial price tag
Thanks for showing me that I don't fucking need you,
That I should not have been so naive
I should of known you can change your mind whenever you wanted
That the sweet words you said were just to get you by
Losing love like this and that
I'm okay, though my mind's off track
Trouble in store seems to get me where I'm at
Complicated world
And that's a fact
Humans all can behave the same.
We can look similar,
But we are different, obtaining fame.
Some not, though you think we're all familiar.
We come from everywhere.
From apartments to streets to the hotels,
I'm trapped
Inside my body.
I don't belong
Here.
Nobody wants me.
Here
Nobody understands me.
Here
I need an escape from.
Here
I'm trapped inside my body.
My heart beats fastAs the tears cascade downStaining my paperWith utter disappointmentFrom shattered hope.
Sitting here alone and blue
with just my thoughts of you.
Looking into the skies
all I see you blue eyes.
Wishing you were here
for I could hold you near.
Like a funeral in an hour glass,you wonder, how slow can time pass?Soon the sane will dissipatefulfilling the end you anticipate,but not soon enough.End? I call your bluff!This will go on forever.
How are you?
It's awful I don't know.
Where have you been?
Not in my life; that's for sure
Why did you leave?
I can't seem to find you.
Why am I still here?
You left me behind you.
