i live my life alone, everything around me is so beautiful yet i hate all of it. nobody gets what they deserve. laguna beach a place so lovely yet unenjoyable for me, endless thoughts of a neglected childhood. haunt me. there is no closure with a lacking family but acceptance with a wiser child. im turned on and off, seeking a person to fill the void that gradually gets bigger with every disgusting thought nobody can fill a void quite as big as mine not my father, a figure who was never there. and doesnt have to be. who loves his children with doubt theyre his children. he walks to the bar then goes to his house. halfway house. he loves alcohol because it fills his void to the brim. not my mother, who failed to raise me. who gave me up. actions speak louder than words, she gave me neither. back and fourth rahab pulled her in like a rip tide she stuggles till she gives in. 7 years of my life spent together only to give up again. she dances around reading the bible then punches me in the face i can see her brain tangled in confusion she loves drugs because it fits her void like the perfect puzzle piece. not my grandpa who raised me, filling my void a quarter full. a man of few words cancer drains the quarter filled rest in peace, the greatest man i ever knew. not my grandma who raised me, so compassionate and humble. she flys as far as she can go struggling and alone she spends every penny she receives she cant help it. she fills my void less and less with every minute she grows older unable to hold a conversation, she cant remember. i love her so much. not my little brother, whos unable to talk to me. shielded by a thick layer of our moms alcohol induced breath, he doesnt understand and doesnt have a chance manipulated hes dragged out by the rip tide by my moms side. 3 years pass by, not a word spoken, not a picture seen. i feel his void brewing only to awake when he is a wiser child not my bestfriend, who grew up on the sidelines who does whatever she can to help and comfort me who shares her house and bed with me. nothing is ever enough and i hate myself. my one night stands overfill my void but i wake up with it stretched out and empty only to feel sadness roll over my entire body like a soft expected wave of freezing ocean water i get tense and sick from my recent meal. i collapse onto my bed, im a wiser child but an empty one laguna beach am i living "the life"? i can see the sun set behind the ocean from my bed a beautiful view but i hate it. 76 degrees and sunny the weather feels like ****

Autonomous you don't wanna miss Synonymous with anonymous Alcoholics drinking like the glass is bottomless Lost confidence and gained higher consciousness Now doing opposite to avoid consequence Pertinent providence prominence Profits from the pompousness of old profits of our fifth They were out prophets then Now it's promises Back to provenance of our populous No predominance More contentedness with our documents with what's cognizance And the monument of spiritual opulence Wheather hypothesis Or is what it is To remain in the violence Or turn optimist All your perogative Wish you well Wish you rocket to the fourth dimension **** But most of all wish you to close your eyes to hear what it says Cause that you don't wanna miss It could be your bliss Reminisce but remember they're remnants Fragments Resentment you keep in your sentence Is your penance What you recieve is your resemblance No regrets for pass but remembrance Your true presence is endless Practicing temperance Life is tremendous

my sadness feels like home the only part of me that's stayed every part of me gone except sadness, all ******* day it welcomes me in the morning when i get out of bed it gets me ready for the long ******* day ahead it waits patiently for the best time to sneak into my mind to remind me why i cry all the ******* time my sadness lets me know when its not safe to come out so i stay inside without a doubt knowing im only spiraling down a pitch black hole to a future without a soul my sadness makes sure im enjoying my time a smile on its face as i try to unwind whats already untangled- nothing adds up. ill never be good enough it tells me in my ear. my sadness is my home, for the rest of my years
