I remember the bathroom door was framed by a light shining from beyond it And I heard the sound of crying but it didn't make me sad Because I knew whatever choice we made the resolution wouldn't differ And I didn't have control but it didn't make me mad It's the ending of a prophecy foretold minutes before by an orchestra of tranquil playing a serene chord sending me a message I wasn't listening for telling me to open that light-enveloped door

The Sound of Calm
I tell myself to focus Concentrate on everything else Take one step at a time Step 1 2 3 Think on subjects away from reality Perhaps to escape Or maybe to simply pretend 4 5 6 Ignore the feeling That unconceivable, heavy emotion Why can’t I just focus on the steps? 7 8 ... What’s after 8? I know this, I- Is this what it’s like? Have I wrought what I previously never believed possible? Why am I here? What is this feeling? ... ... It just feels like I’m so- So... What’s the word? ... It isn’t even raining, where’d this water come from... oh. I’m just so... Alone. 9 Yes that’s the number.

Steps
Hearts are held hostage To love once a year Forced to remember The one they hold dear With chocolates and roses And heart-shaped assortments Afraid to be lonely In love with that fear

Lovesick
History’s useless if we keep learning from the mistakes we might make in the future Lady Liberty’s sleeping, the king is a ghost The world teaches people to hurt her Is everything dead, or is everything dying Why try to help when we should be crying The bread is stale, we’ll give it to children Money will never make people listen The cycle of life The cycle of strife When does it end When will it start?

The Historian’s Dilemma
A ****** river pierces through The raw heart of society Inflicting souls of blooming youth With socialized propriety In the core of suburbia The river flows along the roads It runs into the neighborhoods And out the faucets of their homes What awaits at the river’s mouth Is a mindless understanding “Conform or be confused,” it roars “And live on forever thirsty” Most children of the world Are begging for a drink But some know the river’s tide It controls what you think To the conscious youth there lies a choice To be lonely but be free Or let the river erode your mind And be carried out to sea

The River
It’s dim enough to look the sunrise in the eye because after a long night of hoping for a glimpse of the cosmos the clouds finally just begin to recede After hidden stars hide once more only now does my spite melt away under the glow of a new day

Dim Enough
I don’t need to clip my fingernails because I bite them when I’m scared If there’s no such thing as an absolute then I don’t know why I care You need everything to be perfect, so you need to start to hurry Don’t bother, I said to myself, I only bite them when I’m worried

Nail Clippers
Once again I felt the urge The forceful pull The sudden surge A consuming lust Fulfills my drive To hold the knife To end that life Inside and out Scars are showing Blood is flowing Someone is running The fatal blow The blood red glow A TV show Made reality After the deed The passion still roams The killers creed Fulfills thy own

Killers Creed
I understand that because of my generation’s culture and environment that the quality of literature from the previous centuries shall rarely be produced at such an exceptional quality again. This revelation has brought me great sorrow, especially due to the fact that I, myself, am influenced by my culture’s toxicity.

Literary Oppression
I propel the mallet through the air To land bluntly on my hand But still I feel no freeing pain And I continue to be ****** To a world of expired meaning And a body where I cannot feel So I search for my forgotten drive By drawing blood and skipping meals At times it becomes too much to bear The weight of bearing nothing So I shield myself from expecting hearts And turn to the one thing loving A silver knife with a glistening grin “I’m always here if you need me” And once again I propel the blade And finally find feeling
