I've always been a thinker. The easiest way for me to express exactly what I'm thinking is to write about it. For me writing lets out the pressures of emotion. I'm not a proper poet or a professional anything so I don't really know what the 'right way' to write things would be. I'm just a girl with a lot of shit in her head. A lot of ideas beliefs and emotions. I write to capture moments that move me. I write to relate to other writers, or readers. I write to be honest. I write because it makes me feel good, and I'm addicted to feeling good. I write to remember.
Life is just a series of rooms You spend time in full of all the people You shot grams or smoked a dime with. Full of all the people You laid next to to rest your head. Full of all the people Who would end up dead. Life is just a series of questions You gotta answer to. Like how did God decide On All the people He gave cancer to? Why some things you never had Will be the best you'll never have? Why all the good things in life Gotta Hurt so bad? Rooms full of questions in my head.

Life
We all take pain In its purest form Straight to the vein Tattered and worn We are reborn They say Saints are only sinners Who kept on trying But we're all dying Trying to lick the sore There is no good No bad There is No right no wrong We are what we are Don't judge where we belong. it is what it is. And We all bleed. Sounds like Equanimity To me.

It IS What it IS
Read me with your eyes Dictionary of silence Pry me open past my lies Past my anger and violence A tiny girl who wants to cry And watch the world pass by Steady waiting for the **** Like I was born with a license To **** my self Watching my dignity fall down From its shelf Up In my mind Too busy chasing vanity,sex, and wealth. "The next feel good Will be REAL good" I kept telling myself. But I was creepin to the deep end Seeking death with a stealth.

License to ****
Ignorance is bliss and that's why you got the blues, baby. Takes a lot of pain; knowing better while you lose. We all get straight, one day, Or we get dead. In discontent; by old age. By ****** By lead. Just remember, Like I said, It's not their ignorance you choose. You got them gettin better blues, baby. gettin better blues.

Gettin better blues
Changing molds so i can force myself through a you shaped hole. I cut myself Down to the image that I think you see in me. In the mirror I can't see myself, Much less imagine actually being me. Who am I? Well, This is it. I'm a mess and a misfit. the one who's got it figured out but really doesn't know **** I'm the people pleaser who never gets what she desires and then wonders why the emptiness continues to transpire. I like to deny the fact that I'm a liar. I like to create comfortable places in my head where feelings can go unfelt and things can be left unsaid. Just a million little pieces. My faces. switched off and on in different places. Different phases. A million little pieces of you and every one I knew. Now I can't find who I am. Just what I was in my memories. I can't decide who i was ever even trying please. At ease. I pray for God to break me down to my core. To give me strength to stand up For the things I love and adore. To never hide behind lies, sit back and slip Right through your fingertips. To be true to my soul and really start to exist.

Who am I
i lie when i don't need to. i steal when i don't have to. i'm always thinking when i shouldn't. i eat drink sleep smoke **** when i dont want to. its just me feeling like i have to fill this void because i need to. but i shouldnt. i'll eat till i throw up and then admit i still want more. i'll drink so much i won't get up for days. i'll sleep all night or not at all. i'll smoke, snort, shoot all i can take till i go dumb. psychotic. numb. i'll do it over and over and YES! ill do it, all the time. and every time that i don't want to i'm just so certain that i have to fill this void splitting me open till i die.

A Dogs Toy
things are better or i stopped looking. whatever it is its working except the feelings are less 'feely' dull if you ask me. maybe just familiar with the pains so they go unnoticed, un-noted. chasing my tail in circles of ongoing obligations and im much less than satisfied.

Circles of Ongoing Obligations
I start to write. I get the taste in my mouth like I'm high again. I forget to breathe. I hold my breath and feel my heart beat in my skin. Staring past the spaces. My vision growing thin. My mind paints my face with a grin. Unsettling in. When I write feels like I'm high again.
