people misunderstand my silent thought as a personal offense but never could they have thought its true meaning self defense for open to interpretation means open to be twisted open to be contorted open to be in discomfort for entertainment i think that public speakers know how to roll the dice with every polished word it is clearer my certainty that i have to pay the price they don't for faking a smile is an art an art in being public an art in masquerading an art in knowing how to leave your true self at home i admire it but an imitation can never be the original so i won't throw a fit if they interpret me as predictable

tabula rasa
im a stranger in all places even those marked as home a quickly passing thought in the minds of those I love nothing but a fool who thinks the bartender cares or that my parents want the best of me worrying about my "phone usage" more than my obvious unease i would like to be alone with no one to percieve me because the only thing I've seen Is villianization of my speech twisting my apparently foreign language into mistranslation as they please i am a fool that chases after the indifferent out of envy for being born caring but when the distraction's done everyone is the same for the loved and the forsaken alike life is a miserable game

stranger in all places
When I open the black mirror In the hopes of dark escape It becomes ever clearer I'm throwing my time away In pursuit of the drug I see the ghosts Of those living dead raving mad Snarling, drooling, biting the others I fear I will become them If I remain this empty glass It's hard to stand by and not be absorbed by the mass I try to sing but I am still in the search for my voice But blundering and plucking I'll find my way As long as the black mirror doesn't **** me in today

the rabid ghosts
It was there in the loud room that my heart went quiet The vibrant chattering was a sight I observed But no one noticed how peturbed I was Or that I had realized I would never fit in Everyone saw through my facade of being the major puzzle piece When like a slow car on the highway Around my head the chit-chat dodged As if it was agitated by my prescence This is what I am running away from In my desperate sprint to flee from this place I do not like it here because this place seeks to evict me To remove a stranger from its midst

sights from the rocking chair
the cool night air tangles itself around my short hair nostalgia of summers lost to the tick of time it reminds me how temporary the orange and pink passionate sunsets are and how the blue hour fades to the tone of a calm bass but i'll miss l'bleu heure more than I'll miss those unrequited loves and by love I mean those sorrowful admirations searching for validation but with this new season i bid the past goodbye as i bid goodbye to l'bleu heure

l'bleu heure (autumn)
(intro)You wanted my eyes when I needed a metaphor It's time to cut the splitting cord I cannot afford to crave In the way I hungered before (Main poem) I crumbled when I saw you clearly Not that I still care dearly But the wasted time is a knife tearing slowly into me I had an invention that soothed my wounds Salt of my tears to a sorry night's croon But the bitter spell is broken And i'm afraid I was never sweet I find it hard to trust Because I worshipped dust And I wonder why I looked at the ground when the stars were so beautiful

For the feeble
You've walked off the stage Thinking you've left warmly I'm still standing here While you think the ending is a victory But I'm alone and still performing Rehearsing the lines you didn't say You're out in the real world gloating How this play was good, you'll start a new one in a soon-coming day So I'll say it all here because you'll never find this You never saw the truth in my eyes so why would you look for it now? I miss the you I made up in my head It would be easier if you hated me Then at least I'd have jumped ship sooner There'd be no new wounds to heal Your kindness haunted me Cauterized the old hurts into scars But opened new wounds on my skin And no other person can swing around and deal with it But how can I? How can I heal when there's no one around when I cry No one to wipe my tears, to tell me it'll be fine When you said it, it was a lie But at least it was a lie I could keep in me heart as mine I'll have to do it nonetheless Now that the issue of you has been addressed It's time for me to go, to abandon this old show I hope someday you'll know How you helped me But this is goodbye, Sorry I don't need to be around

Curtain Call(how you helped but hurt me)
I'm looking for my next era Backstage, on deck But as I grasp for my script I find there isn't one Perhaps I'm not cut out for being the main character I wish to be a knight but I can't find any dragons Without knowledge of a sword, where's my adventure All this creative energy And nowhere to hide It's all pooled up while I'm sitting here passively dead What to do? What to do? When you don't really feel like living a life

interlude
I woke up today a zombie Walking around with dead eyes Legs dragging through their course Feeling like dead weight without useful force I miss a girl For her hugs and the fact she pitied me She was warmth to my dead body But she didn't actually want me It's been a year and she doesn't know I thought I had close acquaintances But they just laugh at me The familiar clown pacing unknowingly The hanged man and the fool Everywhere I go it's always the same I get up each day hoping for change But something's gotta snap me out of it As my happiness is an illusion painting I go up, and suddenly it's down Never right, no one understands my frown Or anything I ever do at all But no one says anything as they tower over me so tall The council has decided Decided a slow sentence A delusional death Penitence for a past life's sins

Penitence for a past life's sins
I noticed. How you said hello A smile and a glance To see if I watched you go I noticed When we talked the room went quiet A room full of people But only visible was you and I I noticed The wondering glance So much the same as mine But over things I seemingly cannot define I don't know What you think What you want If you care I don't know When I leave Will it destroy you That I'm no longer there?
