Most would say there's always something wrong with me The typical aches and pains Occasional dramas That's why it's so crazy, I find That when I want to scream out the most I lose the ability to speak To explain To reveal the real secrets behind the smile The epic tragedies masked by mundane inconveniences Vulnerability

Time is fickle Moments we shared become more fleeting The image of your smile in my head starts to lose its sharpness The lessons though? The love we shared? Those will last me a lifetime I just wish your lifetime wasn’t so short

Let’s stay together
I wanted to die tonight Death screams louder than promises I use to dance around the dream of me Now I drown in the reality How loud can you scream until it becomes silent Can anyone hear me?

Silence
it's crazy how a night cheering in a new year a time to celebrate the future has now frozen us in time will the nightmare ever end? an endless stream of tragedy a decreasing feeling of hope wake me up when it all ends

happy new year?
Sometimes I feel sad. I used to be able to write. I used to be able hold on to that sadness and feel it all the way through. A song. A smell. A memory. Just a way to feel the things that I have forgotten in my infinite state of bliss. My infinite state of lies. I’m lost and wandering inside my own thoughts unsure of where to go. These dark places. These dark corners of my mind they tempt me to be more than what I am and I no longer want to play but these spinning teacups never stop or delay. I can’t jump. I need a love that makes me feel like I do in all these sad songs or am I wishing upon a forgotten star? Rewatching all these blurry scenes from a tragedy that is my life I wonder why I glorified all these people who were honest in who they pretended to be. A real phoney. So why? Why feel so sad in a life so full?

15 years...
Vulnerability: an invisible choking hand Suffocating her from telling you everything The secrets Those inner workings of why she smiles in the face of chaos And cries while basking in the sun How freedom is a constant fleeting feeling She's addicted to the chase But she just stares at him Hoping he'll look into the depths of her eyes He'll release her from the darkest corners of her soul And he'll see her

FuckBoi Academy is Accepting Applications
They say if you have to ask yourself then the answer is probably "yes" There's such a fine line between normies and the cursed Me? I've been on both sides I can tell you that a heroine addict is an addict I can tell you some people really are sick But I still look at myself and just think "?" My life isn't unmanageable Sometimes I do drink too much On occasion I do stupid things I regret in the morning Mostly though, I'm okay Then it happens... A trigger And I'm suddenly feeling out of control My life becomes a drunken blur and I can't see clearly anymore Then just as quickly as it started, it stops Normie life resumes as if I had never gone away But is it really stopping if a pattern is appearing? If I am would I be able to admit it? Maybe I've convinced myself to logically justify a problem Maybe... Or maybe I'm just young doing what young people do Here I am back at square one again The internal struggle that is me
