Baffled, bewildered How one can care so much About myself more than I But the sad fact is That I never really did I never really tried To put in the effort You have it set You made it Don't you realize? You could be my idol You're not an actor But more important You are the director From my pessimism And it's a sad thought That even if I tried I could never ever Be the man you are Today

For Dad
I often dream of acceptance of who I am, of who I could be the people and places I've seen are just that, people and places. Empty buildings, and emotionless faces. I am in fact living in a world of terror the hospital bed I laid with visions of the outside. The window they used to watch me sleep, but I was in fact awake for the third time. My troubled mind bleeds sometimes when I see pictures of you. It might have bled today because I thought I'd drowned in the bed I laid but quietly I fell asleep. Sleeping was the worst part for at night I had to relive the past and hear my parents cry. I wonder if I'll grow old with someone one day. I wonder if the world will stop turning and making me feel this way. I decay.

Troubled Youth
I. You told me you still had Those roles of film, Undeveloped. The ones that you took of me In the summer. II. I wonder If you will ever see me again As I used to be. III. I wish you had a darkroom For my soul; For all you've ever seen Have been scratched Negatives. IV. I miss looking at your features Through viewfinders. V. You were the whole world Inside a tiny glass frame.

On Film
Black shades, duck through the dark and then decay. He's popular, but nonetheless he's the least bit brave. He sings sad songs of love and death, he speaks of good and not the rest. Black jeans and paint chips on his vest, he never smiles even at his best. Tell me a story before you fall into dismay, tell me how you threw the world away.

Hunter
Walk with me, to the cemetery tonight. Your hands so cold, in the warmth of the night. Step over tombstones, and lonely graves, I left my heart at sea, caught in the waves. Grab my hand, show me connection, show me love and show me affection. And while we danced, you turned to ash, my memories will remain at the cemetery at last.

Cemetery
Dear Nobody, how could you neglect me? I would like to reminisce the past, if you would let me. Dear Nobody, where have you gone? I see you in dreams sometimes, yet it's been so long. Dear Nobody, please stay the same. Maybe one day you will be somebody again.

Dear Nobody
Decaying walls If only they could talk Dose after dose Nurses come in flocks They took the strings from my sweater "I'm not sick!" But I knew better
