23/M/Riverside, CA I follow the flow like a drift wood.
I don’t know why people think I’m upset My ex is gonna get married and I am going to school Financial support is just for fools who don’t understand that our days are numbered in this checkered landscape Sometimes you might jump over a pond and fall into a lake, but that’s just life learn to swim for another day Sure I was upset, but was is a pas-tense word Just like the love I once had. It’s in the past.

unknown territory
At odd ends it’s crazy, seeing how we used to be I must be the lazy one, always looking out at sea You see I never ignore the shore, I love to explore the floor call it a tour I’m not even full of glee, the magic is never as bright as it seems You’re supposed to be my best friend, yet you’re gone cause of some salt water in your mouth I want to stop the doubt but I recognize that someone has been influencing lies; Saying we’ve done worse things at one time, that She’ll be fine, and I should let Her go this is a sign I sigh constantly stressing, I don’t know if this is a trial, a testing, cause right now I have nothing This is harder than I ever thought it would be, this is the pain in my train of thought I think about You in more ways than I ought This isn’t about You though I am just letting off steam but You’re a main factor in this head full of dreams Broken and bashed in my spirit is trampled, I’m left confused for this was a harmless joke Am I just a muse for your little gag, at least I came to talk to you after the fact But the thing that hurts the most is you lied, and I gave the chance yet you denied said you were gonna apologize together despite you’re suppose to be my ride or die? I don’t know anymore telling the truth, I’m more alone now seeing the route I’m not being used these are my honest computes In my mind the only solution is quitting this contribution .. it doesn’t feel like you’re the same like you’re not trying And this is punishment or maybe you’re showing your true fangs, this is just lame and I don’t know why I feel forced to apologize constantly for that security without a gain My circle is small, and I’m gonna close it, I’ll see your outside with the same face I froze with

There’s no way that my being is defined by clockworks, sure we see time fly by and things come and go But my being isn’t defined by that amount I know, I refuse to let my time be dictated by the endless tick-tocks I can decide when to face anything and everything when I want to, and that is not destiny casting a choice at me Credit is given where credit is due, I have more things I need to do, and so little... Time? No, I have so much time and so little freedom to get it done, I would love to sit and play, and laugh the day away Although there is a balance that creates an income, of questions and I don’t have answers until I am presented self-control: guilt, ignorance: awareness, doubt: confidence, [I am going to make a lot of changes, sorry if you get left behind in the storm. The ocean is a provider, and I realized I haven’t been left out to drown...but to learn to swim on my own. I forgive everyone who has recently done things to me and made me feel a certain way. I forgive you but won’t forget.] I am here on this earth, created by God. I am here to live a life that isn’t just guided by Jesus, but to enjoy the gift given to all I am here to make mistakes, sometimes I’ll fall, I am a man and will provide and stand up, and be tall, I am fighting so much because what I want isn’t mine, I am going to get it soon, I image it daily I am visualizing the day you might find me Nowhere close to the past behind me I am a being with so much potential And will always be riding the flow of the ocean as far as she’ll take me.

I don’t think anyone takes me seriously when I say I’ve try to commit suicide. I don’t think anyone would truly be affected if I did. Sure a lot of sad people and only body dead, gone from the earth, yet spirit rose again. Noise canceled in my own box, sly sleep now sneaky fox. Two tails no heads, always at odds lengths. Drowning in sorrow walked off the ledge. I’m okay, don’t worry about me. This is me just venting, I never get sentimental. I want to get outside my own head, but what’s the point when you’re dead. Is that too morbid, did I say something horrid? Then I’m sorry you feel that way, And here I lay.

Seriously?
The darkness clouded my head thoughts of sad misery casting a forecast of despair and mercy I saw her, that night with a pack of many, she explained to me she wanted nothing to do with me I chose this path and plenty of time escaped the gasp of breathes within me The reality I sought out for was right beneath me, I refused to see it I refused to know the feelings of the one I called home I turned my back on her on my own, Now I have nothing a black sunken hole, I did that to myself I chose to take a path by sipping the poison-filled glass How long will this feeling last? He said eternity I would rather die, but she takes away the ability I would rather really die, no lie; Is the fine line with no strings attached? The pain is buried in my chest...the anxiety layered note shoved inside a bottle I bottle my feelings every day. No one knows how I really feel...I lie, I cheat, I steal, I envy, I regret so much that I let it take me to the edge I drowned at the beach and the sea spit me back out, to endure the hot sands, sinking on land is the defeat? I asked how she was and they said it's a blessing she's feeling the best she can right now Moved on in a months time why didn't I see her in my right mind I refused to even budge only relied on resources outside of me Listening to the voices of others as I lost my main focus

Last night
I’ve thought about you all day today, This day is significant, it’s a special day I made macaroni and cheese..it was my first time To think I would have gained something more impactful than pasta To think I’ve lost more than myself these last days To think I could heal wounds with words and sincerity I think I think too much. With shaky hands I adjust the instrument of my addiction Was it fact or fiction, I breath in, in, in.. Eyes flutter as the waves of pleasure hits This feeling probably is a better option than to slit my wrists To twist my lips and take a sip To sip my dreams and blow it into life, You speak what you want into the universe and it’ll provide You were my drug of choice, I know you’re no good for me And thought I swear my lips will never touch you again Here we are, I listen to voicemails hearing your sweet words caress my smoke I am nothing more, honestly a joke. I claim I helped you when you were in darkness murk Yet I am the one sloshing away, **** pathetic how I miss what this day means Regretting everything, I hate this reality I chose for me Your chemical abandons my brain and I hold my head in my hands I cry, like a bottle of water splashing onto the floor The bottle is empty and I am the same It’s incredible how stupid I am, how I lost so much, and gave so little to the one I loved I stare up from the bottom of the bottle occasionally, but lately I’m just drifting

High-C
I am too nice, My strongest point makes me the weakest, Regardless of my height, being too kind is where the peak ends I don't mean by being respectful is where I've lost the fight The scraps and bruises come from those beneath my mighty branches, those who keep taking chances The one I constantly provide for, the one that see my bark as supplies, my shade as protection, my time as what I only provide And I'm way too nice, She knows all my secrets, how to pick at my wounds How to get me to leak information, how to deepen past feuds With more ammunition that I never planed for because I am not the type to protrude and push someone down when their lost or confused See there's a big difference between helping someone who actually needs it, And someone taking advantage of the help you give It's hard to see the difference, Like a misspelled word in the dictionary Is that truth or fiction? Is is reality or a depiction of what is being preconceived.. Those are thoughts I now think about as the text is being received Her words and phone calls I can't tell why I feel so relieved When I speak to her, even if I am being deceived.

You want my honest review?
Black dirt lays on my hands The soil that lays there is where I advance It smells, its manure I’m the farmer, the one, the grower I pick a plot Think of thoughts Things go by in and out of my mind I’m stuck to choose where to plant the roots of time My time cannot be wasted Like the soil, the dirt, I taste it I can taste it in my feet The ground I stand on Perhaps I’m the plant that my life has cared for To water, to bring sunlight, that constant care To talk, to be there, my life to cheer on I’m but one farmer in this world of carefree To be or not to be, I cannot please all, so do I become the enemy? The land of the free, from which I stand all Planted my roots, and that I’ve prayed on I was born here, a seed like others that were planted I grow out of the help of others, I shouldn’t take the help for granted Though like others I may fall on the granite…pavement, blacktop, and sidewalk I make my own way; Things I may say, The things I may do I’m not a bad person You can tell by the view Well maybe if you trust me I’m no stranger than you Overall no matter by my color A flower is a flower At least smell it first Judge after… No, why judge at all Get to know instead of pushing away That’s really all I’ve got to say

The Seed I Planted
Butterflies This is something I'm going to have to get use to Our memories fill up the shot glass so fast I have to take two hits to clear the zone Just to feel normal like I use to be I don't want the taste to make a fool of me But I'll still swallow the pain fluently the bartender blended the drink "This is life when you're alone" What's left to give when I gave you my all? Why did I feel the need to crawl? To get on my hands and knees When my best friend is the wall. I beg and plead Cradling me from behind. As I reassure myself from the inside I want to wander off to sea and drown in my sorrow. I want to die Mix emotions come to me and collide on the side of Why did I choose to hide... Always running away from my problems is this the same guilt I'm swinging carelessly in the ring, can't even strike or hold the hilt I'm the pinball machine, motioning the tilt Can I get an edge around this anxiety Is there no other variety I'm just sitting there silently sorting out my sanity What even is reality?
