I'm a liar
I believe I have forgotten how to cry The pressure builds in my chest But nothing comes out I can feel the frustrations going As quickly as they came The indifference sinks in And I wish I could go back to the time Where I was okay But the more and more I think about it I don't know if that time ever existed I have always felt left out of everything I have never been in the loop I have never felt like I belonged within all the groups I wish I could drop it all And leave without a trace I don't want these toxic feelings I don’t want the toxic waste I wish I was back in humboldt Where I could go days without trouble Everything was so much easier But everything was not much better Why cant I be happy?

What is a threat to validity But a validity to threat The constant need of reassurance that everything is forever When everything is nothing And nothing is everything And anything that is everything will come to an abrupt End. We fear the inevitable When the inevitable is more constant than the evitable So why run?

I thought I was addicted to social media But it was you that I only followed So I deleted my Twitter I deleted my Instagram But I couldn't delete you Now, I wait for the 24 hour span To see a snap of your life And for those 5 seconds A ping strikes through my heart Every day I try to convince myself I have no capacity to love But in reality I have no capacity Because you took up all the space How do I delete you?

Dear Modern Love,
I don’t love you anymore yet you plague my thoughts like a bubonic wave and my mind is rotting in an attempt to **** you off I don’t love you anymore Yet your name grips onto my tongue like a loaded gun ready to shoot at any chance it gets I don’t love you anymore but I secretly hope that you still might love me

I feel as though I am constantly chasing after love but the only thing I’m chasing is the bitter taste it leaves behind. I can’t stop.

Dear Alcoholics Anonymous,
The ocean bodies resting on the shores of my eyes every blink seeming to happen farther and farther apart I am the abyss at the bottom of the sea I engulf the darkness keeping all the monsters the ugly the things no one knows exist i feel so heavy

Heavy
I dated a poet once who thought my eyes were brighter than the sun. I was his muse, his life revolved around me. He gave me a poem once. He was nervous the note was moist in perspiration. The brightness in my eyes made him see I was the one. But oh, little did he know the fire burning in my eyes was not for him but for something more. I was his sun and he dared not to stray from his orbit. I thanked him and walked away because what I wanted he could not offer. I dated a poet once, who does not write anymore. I took his fire with me, forevermore.

The Poet
"its actually you-" he laughed "surprising enough." Me. The poltergeist. "Yes you. Your image." My image. "You are the ghost." That will haunt you forever. "I wouldn't mind..." I am chained to you. "I feel alive in you" Like the constant energy amounted in a sea of stars. "Almost like how two objects have a gravitational pull with each other." To separate would cause inevitable turmoil. You are mine. Always have been, always will be.
