American i don't know how to write. seriously.
All I needed was a reason To see you, to talk to you Who cares if you were more of the one who spoke a ton At least my life isn't anymore so blue

Little Joys
Sweet torture Inescapable fate Running through stems of veins In ounces of amount Yet It isn't blood Which easily comes and go Dies and immediately replaced It isn't oxygen Which sustains And very much desirable But this we crave This we are cursed with True, a blessing it may be To others But to some It raises envy Hate Longing Because it comes In all forms It varies In state, most of all Visible everywhere Have you guessed it My dear friend? That thing we both behold? It's life So Can you tell This dear old fool Why we are grateful for it Why we believe it to be a grace For is it not What I worded it to be? An inescapable fate A cursed fate It is but a traitor Our friend Dear and true That eventually comes And stabs you in the back Not once Not twice But countless times Innumerable periods of time It ****** Digs blade into you Molds you In the most painful ways Why? Because we've done An effort in living it And for what reason? When it always ends The same eventless manner Death For does not life Come with death? We do not remember But we know We've experienced it Many times Stone age Victorian periods Warring eras Like the saying goes "Been there, done that" So do pray tell What is the purpose Of existence? Of even trying? When we actually understand That it always ends the same

If I told you that You'll be okay in a month's time, Would you believe me? Because you will. You're stronger than you think you are. (Not a dismissive I'm fine, either, But 'okay' in the genuine sense.) Lost in your grief and pain and anger, You've forgotten just how resilient you really are. Every time you hit rock bottom, You discover a hidden strength in you That you never knew. When your worst fears come to pass, You discover that there's life after the storm, That the boulder seems more like a pine cone in hindsight. The pain comes and goes like the tide, But each onslaught will be easier to withstand, Until it's nothing more than a faint murmur. You will get back on your feet again And dare to love and hope again To dream new dreams. You think this hell will last forever. It won't. None of this makes sense now But it will soon enough. And that person who did this to you Won't even cross your mind. When you do remember, The pain fades more and more each time. So love yourself. Remember who you are, What you're made of. God won't help you - He already gave you that power. Do whatever it takes. Go out Or stay in. Hit the gym Meet people Read or cook Write and write and write Make poems and stories Make good art, Like Gaiman said. Whatever it takes. Your recovery comes first. You can do it. I know you can. Things will get better, I promise you.

Dawn
I hate you You have everything You're smart You're talented You're athletic Everyone knows you Others want to be you You have the perfect family The perfect life Beautiful features Sufficient finance I hate you Not because I'm jealous But because You seem to think nothing Of this You weep You whine You sulk As if it's never enough I see you I can read you Then again I hate you Not mainly because of these But because you don't seem to want To do more You weep You whine You sulk Because you've never Known true friends Utilize what is given to you See the endless possibilities that is Your life Maybe I don't hate you I pity you Maybe I don't hate my life I just end up comparing it to yours And now that I know the truth It seems I'm not the one Who can't be saved

Can't Be Saved (Ver. 2)
No matter what I do No matter how hard I want to try and reach you Why is it that I can never get any closer? Don't you see how much my heart aches Everytime You try to suppress the tears Place a facade in front of everyone Hoping to whatever gods That no one ever sees the true you The you that will never be satisfied The you which is drowning In the abyss of your mind No matter what I say No matter that fills my gut Why do you still hide Why do you deny the hands reaching towards you? Don't you see how much more you can be? How much better your world actually is compared to mines? Maybe you can't But I do I'm just sorry I can't offer a hand It was burnt Severed years ago in a fire I'm sorry I can't comfort you I was born mute Speechless throughout my childhood I'm sorry I couldn't ask anyone to be with you I never had siblings My parents only left me here Separated before I knew it No one able to visit me anymore I'm sorry I can only watch From this crisp, white bed -my death bed- Watch you shed tears For friends Who left you one by one I'm sorry I can never come closer And merely stay immobilized Within this sheets I can only wish I would be by your side soon Hoping for the ten percent chance I will survive the operation an hour from now I can only wish I'm the only one Who can't be saved

Doubts
It starts with consciousness Wrapping my mind, flowing through my fingertips There is a sense of calm Silence within my mind But these are all Merely traces of gentle sleep Sooner or later There will be noise There will be emotions There will be screaming There will be hate Alas, consciousness is such a shrewd thing For it reminds us of another day we've lived Another day we've survived But that is all it knows Does it realize what we wake up to? The destruction our eyes gaze upon? Of course it doesn't It just knows It opens the doors to One more day

One More Day
What is perfection, for that which we crave? We long, we desire? Does this not cause envy, hate... Division? For don't we often embody this "perfection" in a person? Our aspirations to hope Similar fates. Perfection is balance And yet We exchange morals for such a thing Is there really such a thing as perfection? Every means of obtaining as such Does not immediately make you believe it There will always be a compromise to this Something that will continually obstruct it For perfection is but a lie Hidden beneath the mask Of deceit and desire

Perfection
Sweet in its own form Unescapable but brilliant To lose yourself into it Throwing away The moment or a day A satisfying drug A guiltful pleasure That leaves you desiring Craving Longing For that one thing Which despises reality Because you as well Wish to end it
