The best art comes from the heart, the best music comes from the soul.. And the best writing comes from both being broken.
I've made so many mistakes So much ground to cover Trying to right my wrongs Only to uncover another They say you get what you give And I know that to be true Because I'm fighting to repair I'm struggling to undo All the years of negativity Alcoholism and drugs Making headway out of this pit That I have quickly dug Change comes with time This path of correction I must follow So much I must repair For a better tomorrow A little at a time, I can finally see the sun Blinded by the brightness, from which I've always run To stop acting like a boy To finally become a man And stop wallowing in my pity To make my final stand Against this heavy darkness I have allowed to take control I am ready to be better I will not be swallowed whole. One day I will look back On the mess that I have made The war to right my wrongs To be worthy of being saved.

Karma
I lay awake, I close my eyes I try to count those fuckin' sheep I toss and turn I can not sleep All I am.. Anxiety Paralysis comes, I am encumbered Forced to see you in between This reality and the land of dreams I cannot run I cannot scream You play these stupid ******* games And run away the second it rains Leaving me alone to drown in pain And every girl is the ******* same.

Monotony
Another sun sets I watch the night creep The color is ****** from the world Vanishing before my very eyes I crumble to my knees and beg I wish only to be Like the trees and houses That vanish within The tidal wave of darkness.

Depression
This reflection in the mirror Is it really me? I touch my face, he touches his face Surely this can't be. I remember thinking of the future Of the man I would become Time flew by so fast it seems I've completely come undone. I stare into his eyes His dark and angry eyes.. Deep inside.. Goosebumps arise Every tortured, desperate cry.. The past floods me so vividly Takes the breath right out of me Denial rears, choke back the tears The hate pours right out of me. In a fit of rage I strike him I can't take this anymore Covered in blood and void of love He falls in pieces on the floor I pull shards from my hands And the rage it slowly fades He must be me after all His eyes share my mistakes.

Reflections
Why does this always happen? I am trapped in a loop I can hear her laughin' The world has lost its colorful hew Returned to sender Nothing new.. People say, its time to move on But I feel so lost I feel so wronged I wait, forever for her to call In this giant bed I feel so small Why does this always happen? Trapped in this loop I hear her laughin'

Loop
Hello, I am me I love full tilt Full time Immensely You blew into my life Like a wild fire Flames soring ever higher Untamable I reached through the flames And I will never forget Your name Thank you My world was cold and dark Many nights alone Feeling lost You thawed my world Life began to blossom Feelings I thought extinct Hit me like a plague That I would burden always.. It is too soon For my mouth to speak The words I wish to.. Desperately.. Not Because I need you To fix me.. Simply because... You make me a better Me.. I love you.

Me
She will hold my hand in public Fingers laced, Smile placed She never backs away When I offer her my face, When I look into her eyes My demons suffocate Deep pools of baby blue Her entire being radiates Every time we touch Feels like I can get no higher She's more than a flawless face For she is a soul on fire. *I stole the last line from a meme

Kaite-
Down by the market, past The only stop light We would walk, and talk Make out all night Forbidden love But it felt so right Go to sleep early Sneak out all night The winter was cold Friction warmed us both Enough to get naked Make love in the snow Until we pocket dialed on Your old cell phone 2:30 am your mom was home I wish I could see her face When she first heard you moan Havent seen you in years But this I know You still smile Whenever it snows. If thats true You're not alone Because I'm cold as hell And popping up a bone.

Look inside it's quite a view A radiant light Emits from you Take a breath Hold me close to you I can always find The light in you

Radiance
In the mirror What do I see? Just a monster Staring back at me It has my face It has my eyes Only I see What hides inside Just a monster
