GHOSTiePOST - Hello Poetry

Broken jaw Limp wrists Why am I pretending to be weak? It's the easy way out My substances walk themselves in Now there's no crutch left to lean on Excuses as empty as my stomach I think it's time to feast I've preyed on those who couldn't speak And learned to run without feet So why is this temporary challenge My ultimate defeat Been playing victim long enough That ***** can take a seat I'll pull the chair from underneath And hope he falls into the deep No reflection in the mirror Just what's left, hollow as ever Anything that might be missing Is a piece I took With no plan to replace Self destruction comes too natural I don't want to die But that doesn't mean I want to live The distiction between the two is action Comeback season is now in session

Comeback Season

Broken jaw Limp wrists Why am I pretending to be weak? It's the easy way out My substances walk themselves in Now there's no crutch left to lean on Excuses as empty as my stomach I think it's time to feast I've preyed on those who couldn't speak And learned to run without feet So why is this temporary challenge My ultimate defeat Been playing victim long enough That ***** can take a seat I'll pull the chair from underneath And hope he falls into the deep No reflection in the mirror Just what's left, hollow as ever Anything that might be missing Is a piece I took With no plan to replace Self destruction comes too natural I don't want to die But that doesn't mean I want to live The distiction between the two is action Comeback season is now in session

Do you ever miss places? That house on the corner Those moments in time A lifetime ago Simply memories You can never revisit Just reminders Of how far you’ve come Who you were Versus who you are today That’s someone to be proud of Places of past are my terrors at night Eyelids close, now Its fight or flight But your ankles just broke the fall Memories flood & your lungs fill Drown while you crawl Lessons learned and lessons lived Applied, rehearsed & perfected until you’re fake Ashamed of the ashes you derived Who I was, made these bones ache The **** I’ve said, made my soul break So I killed the boy to become his man There’s no place like home There's no woman like mom Just a house of deja-vu syndrome Beauty in-between chaos & calm The one place it's okay to be blind Until you want to see forever There's more road ahead than behind It goes quick, keep a present ember & aware of your state-of-mind If there's one thing to remember You're at your best unconfined

Do you ever miss places? That house on the corner Those moments in time A lifetime ago Simply memories You can never revisit Just reminders Of how far you’ve come Who you were Versus who you are today That’s someone to be proud of Places of past are my terrors at night Eyelids close, now Its fight or flight But your ankles just broke the fall Memories flood & your lungs fill Drown while you crawl Lessons learned and lessons lived Applied, rehearsed & perfected until you’re fake Ashamed of the ashes you derived Who I was, made these bones ache The **** I’ve said, made my soul break So I killed the boy to become his man There’s no place like home There's no woman like mom Just a house of deja-vu syndrome Beauty in-between chaos & calm The one place it's okay to be blind Until you want to see forever There's more road ahead than behind It goes quick, keep a present ember & aware of your state-of-mind If there's one thing to remember You're at your best unconfined

Meeting a new person Is actually the beginning of a journey Between your soul, and theirs Everyone in your life is for a reason With permanent stake in your well-being Thank God for positivity Burn a bridge held by negativity Time is irrelevant, speaking in eternity So don’t miss the signs They’re often too brief I’ve made my mistakes Failure comes from turning blindly They’ve left nothing but aches Face value comes so lightly You forget about the snakes Most are ebb and flow Good karma helps you grow Little by little, piece by piece Your soul’s make up that jigsaw together With a picture underneath Every puzzle needs a partner Except for my unfinished mess Most try and end up failing They probably needed less Or give up just by looking It’s probably for the best Don’t say I didn’t warn you Save a broken chest The last thing this world needs Is one more jagged heart Who only wants to fit I’m just another missing part

Invincible My fracture lines are showing Rhetorical As if I’m the all-knowing Aiming for perfection Settling on individualized complexion See nothing in my reflection Maybe that’s all I’ll ever be Exiled misfit by objection Marked with blood-stained-sheepskin & running my mouth Instead of fitting in So keep quiet Emotionless creatures should be cast out Loyalty’s an illusion contingent on amount And my whisper is lost while everyone else can shout Traditional But you’re an anomaly Conditional Kinda like your prophecy Or my imagination Covered in sin With that **** eating grin Turns his back on God When he can’t seem to win Swallow that pride With a side of humility Choke it down Like every Sunday afternoon I said my prayers But He sent rocks to break my fall What made me think I could stand so tall? Original Not the first or the last Forgettable Just apart of the past I’m a walking contradiction Who’s become stagnate Classic degenerate So now I’m stranded And all together irrelevant Never the best But I can do better My blood’s turned black With bones ready to crack You won’t see me relapse Unless these lungs give out Or my legs finally collapse

Sober as a Saint Stained like a sinner Your perception is faint Makes my spine shiver The gossip's hard to conceal It's always "who's sleeping with who" & "why am I still single" When all I want Is for you to be real Need the beauty Hate your sight Want the scenery Minus the light Clinging to reality That's the real fright & I'm sick of pretending things are alright Curves leave you contrite Kiss of a lover Personality missing stereotype Heart of a mother Makes my rate stutter Obsessed with her mind Possessed by her touch Lost in her eyes It's a little too much God **** what a rush Connecting dots Untangling thoughts She's seeing faces Avoiding places I'd like to hold her hand But I’m left wandering what’s in the other House so quaint Tongue so clever Words to the poet Limbs to the butcher Life's moving fast A car without breaks Rolling hills Blinding lights One hit's all it takes There isn't always a motive Sometimes I just wanna live Insanity on the brain They haven't splattered yet No one likes a stain I have the bar set Nothing to lose The world to gain Just try keeping up & I'll try staying sane

Head in the clouds Feet on the ground I think you’re going places And don’t forget to tie those laces Brimming with ambition Always on a mission I know you’ll see it through The road might be long But you’re so **** strong Why second guess? You’re dressed to **** And you’re killing that dress I wouldn’t expect much less Head in the clouds Feet on the ground Every minute with you is laughter bound This thing we made will always be sound Even at each other’s throats Never stays prolonged Small town girl meets big city nerd When has that ever been heard? A dull moment with you seems so absurd We come so natural But keep it judgment free With sarcasm deeper than the sea No one like you I’ll show no fear No more endings It’s you my dear Those phone calls at night Always leave my days here bright And why you make this feel alright Head in the clouds Feet on the ground I’m still happy this friendship was found You’re my fresh start Cause girly you’re just like me We stay so callous and free With love hidden underneath Reserved for those Behind that doormat from home Still fine to roam alone There’s adventures ahead With story’s around the bend And I can’t even imagine an end

If I ever… If I ever really did it I’d do it big Roses on the floor Sweets galore Under the sunset by the shore If I ever… I mean, really did it I’d bring us back Evening with the fire Hand full of wine Nothing under the wire If I ever… I mean, really ever actually did it I’d take you to that old band box diner Fake smiles until memories start to flood Move on to the people of our lives Hug goodbye, and go our separate ways

Woke up hungrier than ever They'll try to get in the way I think it’s time we sever Grow together Or die on your own We’ll build an empire You can keep that throne The world’s hoping you fold With a silver lining in sight I won’t settle for less than gold Go to bed hungry Wake up starving Can I speak bluntly? They started at a disadvantage Tried to cut my legs off *I’d be ****** too* If I was only average Atlantis wasn’t built in a day Blind eyes can lend you passage But broken bones only support decay Ambition stokes the fire Every hopeless dream is absolutely dire Expect nothing, take everything Hiding damage is the same as breathing Seeking treasures I can’t have Feed them to the sharks Throw myself to the wolves My biggest fear is to succeed It might be the life I want But not the life I need **Please **** me if I'm ever ******* average**

Same old story Blame the infected head No-name decaying territory With the familiar dead Haunted by the ghosts of my past Each one worse than the last But she wears the crown Unable to cope I had to skip town Nothing good happens with you around The worst feeling isn’t being alone It’s being alone because no one cares You barely did Just splintered bones With broken promises to spare Sick of hiding what I want Or who I’m not You stacked the deck Didn’t plan on being caught Finally showed my cards So you bet it all on a Jack Send my regards I still have that ace Almost twenty one and I miss the chase Knew you’d run for the hills She’s the next Houdini Sticking needles in bloodshot eyes Anything for her fix of cheap thrills Strike three, quit cashing in lies Can’t use me any longer We all know that body pays your bills Over thinking life Second guessing love Almost doubting anything above Still thinking of you Believed in me from the start The first to care And how you won my heart Constantly looking for a life to share Nothing compares I’ve read us cover to cover Over and over Smile at every torn up page Forever regret hitting disengage Maybe someday our story has another chapter But I’m living for the moment now Someday may as well be forever

Literally, I mean figuratively It’s all in my head Like the things never said You would of liked the chivalry Another reason your gone, clearly Now I’m neck deep Holding empty promises we said Cause you ditched the teeth To join the sheep instead Heartless, I mean hopeless Opened your mouth And out came the wolves Ankle biters at the heel Still around but their not real Nothing to conceal I just want to feel Anything but hate Let’s start with something real Haunted, I mean hunted She’s crying monster Burn the witch imposter The closet’s safe The bed is clear Mornings getting near Drop the act Grab a match And check the mirror Fame, I mean infamy Talk about a girl Talk about infinity Can you even think of her face? Not from here until infinity Try to remember end up forgetting Rewriting, it’s this one I swear One question still needs an answer here Why do I care?
