I wake to the streaming of tears don't think me down on my luck I am only gently stuck hands begging to be free guided by sirens who sound heavenly the caress of yesterday's misery with a cup halfway filled sitting in the filth waiting to be spilled they aren't friendly these imposters in my body don't take them seriously we used to be apes hanging in the canopies where the waves cannot reach a shared home no more but we climb around getting stuck while losing ground a few less fingers pointless to blame the talking mind completely inhumane the swords hold us high the sky kisses us gently our lord and savior humanity

Mop
Stuck in my head with this sickle hanging low Within the forest of music Nestled empty under a cradle of nature Empty chest choked with the guilt Quivering lips forget the words Left incomplete as you go The tranquil grove is no more As the stars rain down like tears often do The light shining above me is nothing special This razor extinguishes the pain The swirling blue embers reminding me of you But you are not here by me And now I swim in the creek The current is pulling me into the abyss I see no reason to comply And the sanctified caress of the grass is warming All I ever knew was you, and now I don't know myself I don't want to go What choice is there in this grief Surrounded by the maggots and butterfly Shrouded in your vibration Your shoulders are so strong I wish this was all I had to be The anger is so primal and unforgiving You are coming to terms and resenting me Why should I try at the cemetery Crawling around I'm wasted in the undertow What was it you had to say I just want to feel normal Now it's too late I'll hang onto those murmured words Even though in this twilight I am to blame

Incompletely Here
society the suicide disease aware of proliferation following the reaper abused substance synthetic chemicals trailing behind god melodic tone perceptions tears high value low long will it hurt loved ones go drapery over eyes shadow plays youth is growing old give something to behave only here is now find the dead hanging around the head lidless crossed eye it's okay reaching so high falling so deep precious human soul you walk ever closer taste the doubt dying on your blade subject to be aware visage of pain

Kissing Shadows
In days of emergence and growth... Hidden nestled confusion identity; April blossoming evermore subtle. The felled tree rooted staunchly. Stuck within syllabus. Bound by a soften hand, gently caressed and unsure. Phasing the conception of man. Regardless of strength to endure. Microcosm of macronutrients; stunting the intellectual growth. Ideally opinion held limbo. Dreaming remaining upspoke. Trees who are felled, still crying the sap. Forever stuck in this rut, a calamity of traps. Hence of alteration. Out of this body, with little mind. Trickling down the web; and upon my spine. Addiction, headaches, sleep walking. Cocktails of the past. Stuck in relapse, with little to know. Or how fast.

Switching
If I could harness anger, I would be feared? If I stood at the precipice, I would be strong. If I was related, who would call home? If this has meaning. where do I go? Jaded with loneliness. I weep alone.

Isolated Toxicity
My identity is in question; for as long I am to sit. And; long will I sit. Not a single murmur. Just as I wish. Nothing more, not a thing less. I provoke answers. And, **** for them fearfully. I question; why? Empathy or compassion? Acceptance over judgment? Turbulent or assertive? What is correct in the end of all things? Conscious. Bountiful. Polarizing. Silence. The answers are clear. The practice is destructive. Will I ascend? Or, I may never awaken. Maybe no one is there. Am I? Pick up and trek on. Spiraling in this loop downward. Angst; feeding upon ego. With only two eyes to mourn. This identity is to forsake. Peace be but a dream. Long will I sit.

Intimacy
Cloistered momentary sanctuary Meditating adjacent action Instancing outside existence Breathing irritatedly Situation seemingly undone Overburdened concentration Gathering what can be Searching floor and sky Nothing to be found Bound to this place Where we are to die

Bound
In this segmentation I am idle I see the blossoming of the Sun The regret to change is right in front of my eyes I recall this trance and it's not a dream A different place unable to relate a specific time I see the insanity of my actions The reason why I am lost The purpose of my animosity A  delegation to self loathing And then I see you You are a mirror Gazing into my eyes With a bubbling caress You boil my blood Tightening my chest Glaring into my shallowness I gave it all up Because i'm some ******* fool And playing coy is simple You sit next to me And I have little to say But the feeling remains I disapprove of this acceptance But cannot reject the offer So I wallow in my jaded destiny Crying with the sadness of desperation Accepting every reason why You gave me what I wanted And only provoked the taste I was hungry and you didn't care Now I feed myself upon the emptiness And question all of the actions Only to be conflicted You sit with the Moon at your back And I never understood why But now it's so clear Because the Sun never bloomed And a piece of me will always be lost Just a reminder of who I was

Because of You
I know it's hard. Feeling the things you do. I have those feelings. As if the world is against you. It's not sadness. It's not anguish. I know it feels hollow. I know it feels empty. I relate to how you feel. And, it's hard to try. Sometimes you're depressed. Feeling there is no reason why. People tell you it's a phase. People say it will pass. But you don't belong. Honestly, it will last. Sometimes it hurts. Sometimes you cope. It's all meaningless. You'll want to choke. You are important. A importance they cannot understand. There is a uniqueness. A uniqueness they don't comprehend. Just because you fall behind. Just because the weight is on your back. Doesn't mean you're garbage. Doesn't mean you're useless. Quite the opposite. You are traveling through darkness. A journey that takes a toll. The average person won't recognize. They truly just don't know. Please don't give up. Please stay yourself. Don't let them change you. Because, they will. You are the conscious. The feelings of this world. Though they delude you. You have to hang on.

Between You and I
