It's weird I moved out of my parent's almost 8 months ago My room was made to be a play room sortly thereafter That never phased me It was still mine Today my parents are finally repainting my room Painting over the unfinished manic work I had done My touch-my mark in my space It is finally hitting me that my room is no longer my room My parent's is no longer my home It is just a house And my room is just a room Which remains in that house that is no longer my home Moving away, moving on My eyes are opening to the reality I decide where home is What home means Why I need home And when it is time to find home I now begin my journey In understanding that I am my home

Home
Specks of light that linger, darkness consumes A hushed prayer, muffled to silence Only gloom remains in a world gone astray Fallen tears, crystalize to chilling ice A living Hell that we cannot escape Fear that teases the weak and strong Loneliness creeps around laughing Broken dreams, suffocate inspiration Is there any hope for a place of pain and sorrow Lies drown the truth, beneath murky waters Ashes storm around in whirling winds Secrets hide in the shadows of oblivion Was it vein when love was shattered No lust was just the envious pleasure A demented joke is being played Look over there, a way out Open your eyes and see the past Torture is but a vacation away Or is envy palpable

Reading Grief
I’m sorry I forgive so easily and never forget Do you remember that time? The time I took the blame for you. I forgave you for doing it again and again. I still remember it, like it was yesterday. Actually it was three years ago. I’m sorry it takes so long for you to anger me. You can’t stand my self control. The way I smile through pain and laugh at your effort. You wish it bothered me, but it doesn’t I’m sorry I’m not perfect. That I make mistakes, lots of them. I bet you heard the time I took those pills. It was selfish and wrong. Honestly I don’t regret any of this. Sorry, not sorry. This is who I am. I don’t want to be anyone else. My flaws make me, me.

That's Just Me
The Broken Tears run down my puffy red cheeks I wipe the tears away replacing them with blood Scars and fresh wounds cover my arms The fingers wrap around the dangling rope I look at my arms To Be or Not To Be The stool stands under my fate A knock comes from the door I flinch and look behind me A sigh slips from my lips I step onto the stool Goodnight I close my eyes my head slips through the loop that tightens around my neck the stool falls and slowly everything fades

Turning Tables
Wearing the same clothes I wore yesterday I open the cabinet and pull out my mask Pull my hoodie sleeves over my arms Sling my bag over my shoulder Open the front door quietly Trudge to the bus-stop Sit in the very front Close my eyes Escape New clothes Wearing my smile No need for any sleeves Wanting my looks to be nice Skipping out the front door loudly Dancing to the bus-stop singing happily Sitting in the back with all my closest friends Open my eyes and realize again it was all a dream

Escape
I stare at my map My map to nowhere It's a simple map My map to nowhere Some people follow My map to nowhere Don't be fooled by My map to nowhere For it is not real My map to nowhere It's just a reminder My map to nowhere That anything is possible My map to nowhere I follow my heart It's my map to nowhere

My Map To Nowhere
I'm fine Slips off my tongue A simple lie But it suffocates me I smile It's painted across my face It hurts me I don't let it show I'm fine That's all you know

The Mask
I'm walking home One foot at a time 2 years have come and gone I never thought I would go back I left them in pain Said I would be something great I would be famous I failed though How will they react I should just turn around But I have nowhere to go I'm scared There is a key under the mat But I'm just walking home

Walking Home
Her soft lips merge into mine My fingers weave through her golden hair Then I awaken from slumber
