College Student. Writing brings me back to life on a daily basis. I believe there is good in everything- you just have to find it. Be yourself, be confident, and know that you will get through your demons. I have. And I will continue to live for myself. No person, no illness, no struggle can define you. Believe that.
**Our souls met long before we dreamt of ever setting eyes on each other, otherwise why does it feel like I've known you for a thousand years?**

If You are always sorry When You think back And You only worry When You think ahead Then You will only find Your Peace of mind After You are dead WIZDUMBs BY JA 414

PEACE OF MIND
I close my eyes and picture my funeral. I drive and contemplate every possible accident. I stare at the window as if its an escape And buildings as beautiful, cruel opportunities that I keep passing. I ******* hate the way my mind works. I have nothing that detrimental in my life- yet i keep searching for an exit. Why have I been like this for 3/4 of my life? Enlightenment is appreciated Intellectually thinking, I’m grateful that I understand how much pain this invisible demon is on my chest. Empathy is what is driving me and killing me. I love you all so much. I am sorry I cannot be stronger. Ignorance to my issues is making me sick. Why the **** can no one leave me alone. I don’t want you here. My door is never ******* closed. And yes, you have imposed. But i will keep my mouth shut Offering advice and smiles but You won’t do the same for me. Im glad you’re so easy to please as i nod and smile at every word you people mutter to me. The sighing, the crying, the huffing and puffing what the **** is wrong with you? I keep running away but I’m running in place. I see a hope thats hard to find But i won’t run away from it. I want to end it all but guess ******* what!! I don’t want to hurt anyone. But laugh it off, cause thats what i would do, right? Make a joke out of it. She won’t actually do it. She would’ve done it already She's all talk She is always smiling and laughing. Theres no way she is serious. I hope that every single person who has said that to me, remembers that as they pay their respects to me. I do not want them to be filled with regret or feeling naive. I just hope they understand now. How easy it is for someone to break Who was never really that much whole.

Darkness calms me. Knows me. Quiet, alone. Daylight is a mask. An illusion. I try to be bright but I'm ******* burning on the inside. Craving the shadows, yearning for silence. My mind screams; voices remain still. Loving the pain. Dreaming about my solitude- alone

2-2-14 .1:54am.
I never can be alone This dorm room is a revolving door When my phone lights up Anxiety fills Just leave me alone. Even while asleep I am being woken by the Bodies that fill this small space I am forced to live in. The pointless conversations are nauseating. Listening to their voices Imagining I am elsewhere. Can they not tell I just want to be in solitude? I cannot act bothered. My empathy for their problems Is killing me slowly So draining. They have written my death already. Just by nagging someone who is Just too fragile. But I will continue to be there for them. If they only knew what went through my head… I know they would be there for me. So lend a hand.

Conflicting
How do you look your parents in the eyes Knowing last night you took so much **** In hopes of never waking up again? How do you respond to your friends? And loved ones? When they say you light up a room As you drown in guilt knowing every second Spent in that moment, you wish it would end. This is what you do. Tell yourself these feelings will pass. One day you will gaze upon the highway Not imagining a tragic accident. You will see the road in a brighter sense You will close your eyes and not imagine an end. I promise you.

You're Your Biggest Obstacle
I'm happiest at 4:25 in the morning few cars on the highway and fewer voices in this space something about being alone in peace and quiet provides me with the solitude and time for reflection that keeps me sane I never know what keeps me up but I know what keeps me away The noise of the day is approaching And while I can feel my heart getting heavy i long for the next time 4:25 and I meet again.

425 AM
That stiff manor And the lifeless grin was enough to Freeze me. Love is not supposed to be pulling teeth To be noticed. You taught me that mediocre exists. The love before you Taught me passion is not just Drunk tears at 3 am and Deceiving words. I went from burning hot to freezing cold. I don’t know what normal is and I don’t know if I ever will. I learned to set my own temperature. I am in control of my own degree of love. To find a happy medium would be ideal But I have come to the conclusion I chase after extremes. Whether it is extremely boring, or extremely exhilarating It gives me life.

Lessons Learned
Feelings of accomplishment are short-lived. As are feelings of pain. Pipe in hand, to lip, smoke in the air, short-lived. The rain drop ripples forming on the surface, short-lived. New buds of Spring, pink and green, short-lived. Even the trees warming my home piece by piece. I'll walk once more around the pond before bed.

Short-Lived
Cheap flowers in the sink A card with lies cast in the bin Beers are frosting in the freezer Shivering next to the ice cream I scream You scream The neighbours bang the wall A framed photo whizzes past my head A family behind shattered glass I turn to leave Insults fly I want you in my past Exit hysteria Outside another world The curtains twitch across the street What are they looking at? Life? What have I become Sirens in the distance Run you idiot run Door crashes behind me I spin to see that maniacal grin Thrusting your fists toward my gut Something sharp breaks the skin The world slows on its axis Just like the first moment I saw you And as I slip from consciousness Your enraged blood splattered face has never looked more beautiful So full of life Farewell my valentine
