I’m not entirely sure on how to start,
Other than I have depression,
I feel like I’m falling apart...
This isn’t exactly how I wanted it to be,
But we don’t always get want we want,
I’m just trying to let you know, let you see.
I’m always shrugging my shoulders,
I can’t seem to really get used to it?
But I’m not getting any bolder.
It’s like drowning,
Chained to a rock, i’m Sinking.
I can’t stop, i’m Always thinking.
Crying out of nowhere is fun as well,
It makes me wanna give up my soul,
Literally feels like I’m living in hell.
I don’t ever really talk about it,
No one really... cares?
I don’t know how anyone feels about it...
I just sorta... sit in this silence.
Waiting for this weight to go away.
I don’t like it down here,
I don’t wanna stay.
But I gotta, because i’m Chained.
My mind is insane, constantly strained.
I just wanna go back into your arms,
Where I feel at home.
That way... I can feel some sort of comfort.
I know this is probably not the best poem to explain how I feel,
But it’s the best I could do, I finally broke the seal...
I had to talk about it...

“Friend”

Why do you leave,
When I lose everything?
Why do you get all the attention,
When I do all the work?
Why do I receive no credit,
When all you do is lie?
Why do you spread rumors,
When I was the one happy and alive?
Are you jealous of me?
What did I do wrong?
I’m trying my hardest to be loyal.
I’m doing my best to keep you.
See, my biggest flaw...
Became your secret weapon.

All I wanted was a friend.
And i’d do anything to keep you.
Even if it meant ruining myself.


You’re my friend.
And I’m supposed to put you first.
...right?

“Sex”
Retro Nov 2018
I blew my cigarette smoke into her face,
Both of our faces held smiles.

Both of us held our breath in the back seat of my car.

The windows were fogged up,
Her hand prints smeared across the glass,
Creating perverted pictures.

Our voices cracked slightly, hers high pitched, mine more of growls and grunts.

It was just your everyday ***.

“When I’m 18.”
Retro Jun 2018
When I’m 18, I’m moving out.
Away from this home, Without a doubt.

It drives me insane, unable to be who I want to be.
Controlling my life, keeping me from my dreams.

When I’m 18, I’m going away.
Away from this home, I don’t want to stay.

It’s not that I’m in danger, I just want to leave.
Start up my life, I want clean air to breathe.

When I’m 18.
I’m going away.
Away from this home...
That has made me astray.
Kept me for years,
I’ve shed so many tears.
I just wish to leave,
And that’s all I believe.

For when i’m 18.
I’m finally going away.
This is sorta how I feel at them moment and I’m hyped to go through the rest of high school and start up my life. I really wanna be myself and just get out into the world. I know it’s hard and it’s not what it seems, but I suppose I want to experience everything as soon as possible and get a head start. I can’t wait to be 18.

“Meteor Shower”
Retro Aug 2018
I love looking up at the sky,
Staring up high, wondering why...
Did you just decide to leave one day...?
Is that how it happened..?
I don’t understand... I never have.
When you left that day...
It felt like a bullet to the chest.
A knife in the back.
I couldn’t bare the thought of losing you.
The thought of never kissing you.
The thought of never seeing you again.
It hurt.
It stung.
It burned.
But I.
Did my best.
Gave it my all...
And you just left...
And I’m still here.
Still under my thick ink covered sky.
Looking up at the Stars...
And watching my meteor shower.

You knew what you were doing.

You knew exactly what I would become.
You’re a Thief.

You knew exactly what you did.
You lied to everyone.
All because you’re a selfish criminal.

“Abstract”
Retro Aug 2018
There’s this person that watches me at night.
Spray painting the walls in the moonlight.
I don’t know his name, but he just sits.
And he watches.
I hide my face with a respirator and hood.
Hoping I don’t get caught.
I love the smell of the paint, I wonder if that’s why he watches me.
He enjoys what I enjoy.
Hopefully, one day.
We’ll cross paths again,
Fully intact.
And enjoy these nights.
Where we felt so Abstract.
Just a little story I decided to write.
Retro Jul 2018
I came home to a horrific sight.
Blood everywhere, my screams filled the night.
A note beside the body, it was a suicide,
My stomach drops, his eyes opened wide.

I Should’ve saw this coming, I knew his smile was a Lie.
I always heard his fake laughs, but I kept letting them slide.
The guilt washes over me, it’s all my fault...
i should’ve known that he was having trouble, that it was difficult.

But now... he’s dead.
And all we can do is feel the dread.
We can take on the sorrow,
There’s always a better tomorrow.
It’s going to be Grim,

But we must stand strong for Him.
But sadly... His casket will soon be sealed.

And i’m in the back.
Not a single tear,
My mind has been obscured.
I’m not crazy at all, I don’t need a cure.
But what I do know, is that time won’t Heal.

I’m broken now.
I don’t know what to feel.
If you ever need help, please talk to a professional or call the Suicide Hotline:
1-800-273-8255
Maybe even a friend can help you, but please do not Commit Suicide. People do love you, people will be there for you, and people will miss you.
Please look at the bigger picture and understand that you will be a missing puzzle piece in people’s lives. People may follow your footsteps. Please, Please, Please. Stay.

“Sexuality”
Retro Oct 2018
It’s all my fault.
A simple mistake to a complex situation.
It’s as if someone was just waiting to lift up the curtains.
Showing everything and ruining the uh..
“Big Secret”

I’m Bisexual.
Being caught isn’t fair.
Why don’t straight people have to come out?
Because it’s “Normal”

Everyone complains about Pride month, when straights get the whole year to themselves.
The problem isn’t our sexuality.
The problem is that people like to judge other people and no one is willing to change that.

Let’s get high.

It’s so Intense...
The flames around my nose,
My eyes flickering from side to side.
This stuff has lifted me to the sky.

It’s such a Monster...
Ruining my insides,
Making me tired,
But I’m alive.

I’m higher than the Empire State Building,
I’ve reached heaven’s gates.

Why stay down, when I can just go up-
Higher!
    Higher!
        Higher!
    Down.
  Down.
Down.

Reality is a bust.
So why don’t you come on over.
And let’s climb the mountain to Heaven.
Please don’t leave, don’t sigh...

Trust me, Baby girl...

Let’s get high.

Distance.

You're 1,700 miles away from me.

You expect me to stay when you don't even try.

I always feel like I'm on the verge of going under, like the waves in the sea.

Your love is intoxicating, addicting... you're a drug.

You're the nicotine in my cigarettes, the blood that keeps my heart pumping.

I'm unsure how to proceed, I'm scared even...

I wish we could just go back to the way it used to be.

“Impossible”
Retro Jun 2018
I remember years ago,
Someone told me I should take Caution when it comes to love.
I did, I did And you were strong and I was not My illusion.
My mistake?
I was careless, I forgot, I did And now when all is done,
There is nothing to say.
You have gone and so effortlessly, You have won.
You can go ahead.
Tell them.
Tell them all I know.
Now Shout it from the roof top,
Write it on the sky, Love.
All we had is gone now.
Tell them I was happy.
And my heart is broken.
All my scars are open,
Tell them what I hoped would be Impossible, Impossible, Impossible, Impossible.
Falling out of love is hard,
Falling for betrayal is worse,
Broken trust and broken hearts I know,
I know...
Thinking all you need is there.
Building faith on love is the worst.
Empty promises will wear I know
(i know)
And know when all is gone,
There is nothing to say.
And if you're done with embarrassing me, On your own you can go ahead.
Tell them.
Tell them all I know now.
Shout it from the roof top,
Write it on the sky.

I hate myself and I honestly cannot stop.
They say that I need to learn to love myself,
But I can’t when all my hope is falling off the shelf.
I’m Nobody at all,
Just a random phone call.
I’m nothing but another face in the hall.
Just another person you Saw.
I’m nothing important, another toy to mock,
And that’s pretty much why,
I hate myself and I honestly can’t stop.

"Sober"
Retro Nov 2018
You make me sober in ways I don't understand.
The way you kiss me,
The way you hold my hand.

It makes me feel like I have purpose.
Like I can finally breathe,
As if the weight upon my shoulders has left.

Every single time that I feel hazy,
buzzed and gone,
I think of you and I can see clearly.

But I'm sorry that I didn't think of you that night...
When I clearly wasn't in my right state of mind.
The way I yelled at you, and left...

I was intoxicated with the monster.
I decided to drive away.

Little did I know,
I wouldn't return,
and the men in blue would show up at your house.
A tragic story of how alcohol can ruin someone's life and how it effects others...

“Galaxies Collided”
Retro Jun 2018
Staring at each other, awkward and confused.
Our eyes shifting, not knowing what to do.
We get close and then back away,
Feeling alone, but obviously astray.
Our hands intertwined, not caring about mankind.
We close our eyes and our Galaxies Collide.
The action quick, the feeling never ending.

Once Again, staring at each other, not awkward nor confused.
Our eyes locked, knowing exactly what to do.
Our hands intertwine, not caring about mankind.
Not feeling alone, nor astray.
And once again, we close our eyes and allow our Galaxies To Collide.

My God.
This feeling is taking over.
Clawing at my very existence,
Spilling my insides onto the floor.
The stars have left my eyes,
My hygiene has wilted.
Instead of seeing the blue cover skies,
I only see the cement under my feet.
My shadows dance in the sunlight,
Laughing and mocking me.
Slowly knocking me down,
I’m tired all the time.
I’m sick of this feeling.
Sick of the demons inside of me.
They’re never ending party goers,
Constantly going and going until I fall.
I reach for help, some type of hope,
I find myself slipping away.
I’m so sick of these demons inside of me.
The drugs don’t help,
My smile fades when you look away.
I’m ripping myself apart,
And I’m sick of these demons.
Because they’re the ones making it happen.

When you let down your arm, it hurt like hell.
