16/F/Who Fucking Knows stay a mystery, it's easier
I've become so disappointed in my generation of modern youth with a pepsi in one hand and a cell phone in the other Refusing to hold on to freedom and instead giving in to the slavery of technology And the businesses that keep it running and feeding us with false hope that we will stand out against millions of clones all around us So drink your soda and enjoy the sweet taste of millions of dollars being made off your slow descent into oblivion

Disaster Zone
keep control keep control keep control never stop never stop never stop as the adrenaline pumps and the world becomes beautiful and your eyes become brighter and the day seems clearer are you ready to begin? or are you waiting for the symptoms to subside so you can go back to school where you MUST laugh at the worst jokes because the world is clearer and you don't want to miss out on the day do you?

is it my best interest to help you? or your best interest to take me for granted?

Self
the branches sway like my walls when you are near the leaves fall like my tears when you leave me all alone

Autumn
He slapped her Hard She lay on the Dirt floor until she heard His footsteps disappear into the Safety of their bedroom. She looked up at Her yellowbrown walls. “I should really repaint them” They reminded her of Summer and she hated Summer. She wanted to cry, but didn’t. She wanted to call Them, but couldn’t. After all, this was only His First time She climbed into their yellowbrown bed which matched the yellowbrown walls and yellowbrown fridge which was specifically color coordinated with the yellowbrown drapes that she had Loved so much. She fell a sleep, her warmish body pressed against His. His being as hot as Summer. She hated Summer. She Loved him. He Loved her. He a pologized. She thought it would Never happen a gain. Never A nother time. A nother cycle. Repetition   Repetition    REPETITION Over and over and over and over and over and over and over A gain. She began to flood her river onto her too pink Cheeks Slowly Choking to Death on her own Self pity and Shame And all he could do was grant her a hug of Darkness as she quietly Drowned After all, this was only his Ninth time. She still hated Summer And she still Loved him He Loved her. She fingered her bruises like a well cherished Friend. Gingerly Carefully Lovingly She refused to buy him another Beer. She thought he might Stop. He didn’t. He Con tinued To De stroy PERFECTION They reported His Death. She stood in front of grayblack coffin, Her river Flowed faster and faster down her emaciated Cheeks and onto His tombstone. Faster and faster still until she had to break the cool, cold surface just to Find her own Humanity. She still Loved him. He must still Love her. Her Mind began to drift. Is there a God? A man maybe, with a long beard and a Wise and Kind face. She had seen Him on TV. Some kind of Religious channel about the story of Jesus. She thought she would Like to be like Jesus. She made sure the rope was Tight. The chair was just tall Enough to reach with the Ends of her toes. She privately smiled That Smile to herself. As if she were sharing a Private joke. And she was the Only one who really knew the punch line. The yellowbrown room was Hot. As Hot as Summer. She hated Summer. She Jumped. The rope was Tight. It didn’t take long. She was just trying to get to that Better place. The Place where a TV God with a long beard and a Kind face would welcome her with the sharpness of a knife. A Place where there was no Shame, no yellowbrown fridge that was carefully color coordinated with the yellowbrown drapes, no Summer, no Private jokes, no Imperfections, and no Rivers. A place of Peace. Where there were no other bluepurplegray galaxies in the Universe other than Him and Her. Because she Loved him. He Loved Her.

Cellulite
I see you Brown haired, bubbly, bursting With energy that threatens to come loose Like a champagne cork On the edge of an overflowing bottle It has always remained a mystery to me How these bright-eyed beauties Are as unknown to us As we are to ourselves She doesn’t truly know herself, you see And leaves her sweet-smelling hair To the task Of keeping you away From the treasure in her mind There is never a proper description for her So “high maintenance” is used to fill the void Produced by the simplest of minds As an excuse for their lack of imagination Is she difficult? Desirable? Or simply distant? There is no answer to the wondrous question So her heart will stay locked up forever. She wouldn’t have it any other way.

Ode to the Dancing Queen
I stood in the dark hallway Looking at the shroud of faces Staring back. If I were different I could’ve sworn these faces Belonged to actual people. They watched as I walked Beady eyes following every movement I made Down to the slight movement of my stomach That came with every sharp breath. Their shiny covers were emotionless Not a single expression was known To the blank canvas. The rain poured outside Creating shimmery puddles in the ruts of the ground And a dark shroud of a face Looked up from the water. It saw through my eyes It breathed with my mouth And for a second I pretended I didn’t see the shiny exterior Covering all emotions. For a moment For one precious moment I could pretend that the mask in the water Wasn’t mine.
