Too much on my plate Tried to meditate Couldn't concentrate Had to self medicate Make a wish and; Tempt fate Hopefully some date We'll quit the self-hate

Relapse
We work so hard to gain love, Go flat broke buying stuff we can't have, stuff we can't afford. Just to gain friends we can't have. We **** at interaction, fake attraction, act like we got options, yet deep down we crave affection, and try to get it from applications on our smart phones, Follow for follow, like for like and get all caught up creating a facade, just to escape how our lives are bad and sad. We try so hard to please each other, Neglecting our very own. Mother, Father, sister, brother and act like it's no bother. But do you wonder, if this breath was your last? Who would be so downcast that they shed tears first? Who regardless of your past, loving you was a must? Who'd pray and fast, for your resurrection when you passed? We think we got it figured, don't we. Go to school, get a good grade, go to college, get a good job. Get a car, a wife, kids, and maybe, diabetes. Okay, not really, but some other lifestyle disease.

Funny life
As I come of age I can't contain this rage So had to write a page And share it on stage

Time
Maybe it's the warmth Or the delicious aroma of burning meat But I wanna go to hell And smell Don't know where I'm going with this But oh well, Time will tell.

Go to hell
It started with a smile As I walked down the hall Hard to resist and for you I did fall So I wrote a letter, saying it's your heart I was after And though you were out of my league, that didn't matter. Day by day harder I fell. From my head to the core of my cell, And deep down I could tell, That we were meant to be And love you I did, Got hooked on you like **** Late night texts, Prolonged goodnights Good morning texts. Like a jig saw puzzle, pieces of my (love) life were finally falling into place. From dusk till dawn, you filled my dreams, From dawn till dusk you filled my thoughts. It was beautiful, till you said you felt differently, That we were better of as friends, And I know you had no obligation, to feel the same way, But still, I hoped i'd be the apple of your eye. We never really coupled up, But it still felt like a breakup. Though it took me a really long time, I finally moved on. Moved on from the fantasy, that we'll ever be, And accepted the reality, that we'll never be

Love. Unrequited
Don't judge a book by its cover, But it's so hard not to judge, when all I can see is the cover, And the cover keeps pulling me over, And I think not I can recover. I would love to open the book, and read the words inside. But I'm afraid I'd crease the pages, and I'd never get the book again. Just a book, You're like a book, a book I want to borrow, and never return. A book I want to hold close, and cherish like a lover. A book I want to read cover to cover till I am over. A book I can read and say I love her.
