Im not much of a poet. I write down my thoughts every once in a while and i felt like sharing.
They ask me where I'm going I say north south A bitter taste left in my mouth They ask me where I'm going I say east west I'm on house arrest I'm staying here Or I'm moving in a straight line I'm sorry That I don't know what the **** is going on in my mind Please take me away from here Before I drown in myself Give me true love or maybe some beer I'm sorry I left But I'll eventually circle back I think of leaving you And I have panic attacks But you don't love me I guess I should take a clue You ask me where I'm going I say north south I've wasted my youth You ask me where I'm going I say east west I failed my acid test I'm sorry that I'm leaving But the air is just so heavy And I'm having trouble breathing Ill circle back again

Stuck
My words caught in my throat and as they clumsily tumbled from my mouth They fell heavily on my shoulders And stung my eyes As I tried to swallow them A few hung in the air While the others fluttered in my stomach Beating against my ribcage

Confession
My thoughts are an ocean They stretch farther than the eye can see Scary to all Beautiful to some Vast and full of questions with few answers The deeper you look the darker they get They come through in waves Large masses charging in from the horizon Crashing against the rocks behind my eyes Disintegrating to sparkling sea foam Before I can grasp them The waves come to life Pummeling me Grabbing for my throat I slowly drown in myself As they carry me to shore My body finally feels the warmth Of the sun
