F No one knows I write here
I remember feeling deep sadness. One that clings to every limb, holding you down while you fight, fighting for one more chance, it was everything and nothing all at once, color didn’t exist, choirs didn’t sing, children didn’t laugh, it was everything and nothing all at once, dictators grabbed their power, an honest man told a lie, I tried to stop it but it was never the right time I remember I was in my bed. My phone was the window, the lights stayed off, there was no reason to live a life I couldn’t control, it was everything and nothing all at once, youth looked desperate, a disease without the cure, I asked a simple question “what am I supposed to be fighting for?” It was everything and nothing all at once

...all at once
when it happened it was a surprise like opening a birthday gift from someone who didn't know you well you're only grateful when the moment is over but the moment never died for some reason it eats where I eat sleeps where I sleep hides where I hide it has taken over he had no right to get close to trap me in a single moment if I was a sun then I am not anymore because his touch burned me somethings shouldn't be ignored

when it happened
Those who write for love Have felt pain The road was rough And they'll never be the same They write metaphors Comparing their love to a bird But I am where they were before Trapped by ghosts Comparing my sorrows to outer space Deep and expanding I am not writing for love I am writing for those Who are trapped by ghosts From a past that's hard to escape

writing for love
If you can’t feel anything You’ll never hurt If you go on a trip You don’t have to come back I know I speak nonsense Improbable things Make your meals Eat your money Then repeat Until the ending They say go to bed on time Because time is not my own I have no control One tear resting On my piano alone What if I died? Who really cares? These questions Whispered at night It’s me who does this I’m self aware What is poetic? This is not what this was supposed to be These are midnight thoughts Thanks for listening? Missed you all It’s been a minute Life moved on I came back Because I missed u in it

Miss me?
I think a lonely night is made by you Leave my high and dry No consequence finds you A whirlwind of questions Why put my love in one place? Where’s my green light to go? Can’t you hold on to what’s enough? Leave tonight or leave forever Pick a fight or work together My lover is not kind And I refuse to be clever -J.R

One Lonely Night
I am a possessive creature I am held together by passion Fear me when I am mad Love me when I am motivated I am a jealous creature I will love you to the moon and back Break me and I will be vengeful Kiss me but touch no other Not one stroke Not one glance I want my name tattooed on your heart Because yours is burned in my brain I am a possessive creature but so are you -J.R

Possessive and Jealous I Am
Oh mirror I believe you were made to taunt me Few see beauty and peace Most see something they can never be Wanting is a burden Having is a crime What do I say to that? Just give me some time Paralyzed I stare Oh mirrored me Talk to me sweetly Tell me "wear and tear is normal just confide in those who cry deeply" I sigh alone fractured by despair I walk outside and I see mirrors everywhere -J.R

Mirrors
I only know how to walk with tears To learn something else is my biggest fear The slamming of doors is all I hear Stories of heroes but none come here Will anyone care when I can’t breathe air Or will they stare and watch as the end is near I only know how to walk with tears Because life is maze made of fear -J.R

Walk with Tears
Control me With my emotions Control me With my dreams Control me Because you can Control me And cause me to bleed My life is not my own Because you sit on the throne But once you turn around My strength will be so keen You’ll want to take back The times you controlled me Control me And watch as I succeed Of making you think That you once controlled me -J.R

Control
I feel like the shattered glass in my hair A million little pieces wondering nowhere Before just a fracture Waiting in complete despair Is now a mess Once no one dared to care Now they surround with fear Trying not to step on the glass that is everywhere Do my haunted eyes tell them How it is I feel? Or do they compare me to before? Before the mess Before the haunted eyes Do they see me through shattered glass? -J.R
