American shut your mouth and open your eyes, / if it's answers you want, / look up to the skies.
your kisses fall short upon my cheek not in number or in passion, but in the words i find difficult to speak. see i need a love filled with compassion not time spent together in rations. i get wrapped up in thoughts, seems like my minds a little lost. wondering if you've been sent to find it, or if you're searching for someone to commit. its like you already have your future planned. you want a queen by your side, to rule all the land. you want to work with your pride, raise a family, and always provide. i don't know that i'm ready, to be with you and go steady. distance makes it difficult, each example shows a similar result... failure, paining me like a harsh insult.

yeah, i'll probably have to admit you know you had that game all you had to do was spit chasing paper, success, and fame materialistic, chauvanistic, might as well be a no name still between your fingers, you had me a little tangled

I see you lengthy and thin. On your neck, a discolored patch of skin. A light little speck, above your eye and terrible cowlick yet I wish you were mine.

im not in love with you
you all gave me glares as i walked through the hall ways yeah, i gotta admit thats what i questioned sometimes while i stargazed i was never pretty enough, cool enough, or good enough but you all had me fooled for just about a month when my mom died in april, yeah that **** was tough but you all dont even realize the extent of how rough i had it, we had, you set us aside like a bunch of losers we sat back and watched you all become alcohol abusers, marijuana users, and back stabbing accusers ***** you to the girl that wrote i was *** on bathroom stall cause at the time, it was in love with youre ex that i was trying to fall and ***** you to the boy that said i was fat does the size of my britches really matter to you ******* or does my body scream judge me like a ****** welcome mat ***** you all that ever made anyone feel low cause we all know theres only so much one person can undergo all we wanted was to be accepted not labeled, ostracized, and/or rejected but i can't help but smirk a little smile when you post that your life is a cluttered unhappy pile for the sake of all "losers" i hope you look back and wished you had maturity that then, you lacked but let this jingle in your mind the hell within us that you created has not dictated a thing, it has dissipated

I want to pull out your spine just to make you a little more mine I want to rip out your cheeks put them in my mouth and savor them for weeks I want to carve out your heart so not another girl will get the chance to rip it apart I want to take your thighs so we will never have to say goodbyes I want your peel off your lips just so i never lose the feeling of your grips But mostly, I need a new pair of eyes for me to realize that you're really just another one of "those" guys.

lust is pain
write something find the words that stick to you and tear them from your flesh let your mind start the first line and let your heart do the rest write about the ocean and about how your life is compiled of waves of emotion write about birds in the sky and about all the places you'd go if you could fly write about love and about all the boys you've ever felt unworthy of write about the warmth you feel and about all the things you believe even when you're told it isn't real write about anything, but most importantly always write about yourself because the path to self-discovery is the most important book on the shelf

i pour myself another flask tilt my head to the heavens and choke it down as if to say 'that one's for you mom' the gulps of jack honey that kiss my stomach become a bitter reminder of the things that i relinquish in sobriety they ask me about my coping skills and lately i nit pick, mock, and overanalyze see, i am much more bitter than the poison i swallow yet it will never occur to anyone that i have a void in my heart the size of kansas i take another swig, feel the whiskey warm my cheek, and close my eyes to imagine my mother's hands cupping my face as if to subtlety remind me that i'll be alright but that never corresponds to the way that i've felt since that night i stand in front of the mirror bearing a shocking resemblance of her my eyes tilt down a little and my lips are thin, just as hers were
