American Originality suffers contradiction.
I don't speak my thoughts, I only write them down, Only because I can't speak out loud. When I speak, I stutter, or barely make a sound. -speaks my thoughts- "I don't like that." "No, you're right. I'm sorry."

sad thoughts
Break me down for I am broken but I've been built up again. Your strong force has held me up through the storms and the wind. It's been a terrible hurricane season and I'm glad the sun decided to come out. Oh love, you are mistaken, you are the sun itself. You're the fortress that surrounds me, You're the thing that's keeping me around. Run me over because I'm falling and I'm not sure where I'll land. My heart has been cut out of my body and has been placed gently in your hands. Oh love, you are the world. I would not harm you and if I could, I'd set myself on fire just to feel your pain too. Trace the outlines of my hands on your back, Take me with you when you leave. I want to be the whisper in your ears, I want to be the wind blowing in your hair. Follow my footsteps when I go home so you can follow me to my bed, Take off my clothes and explore the fields inside my heart. Take off your shoes and stay the night I need you by my side. Oh love, you may not know it but I am a fool for your eyes. The way you smile reminds me of warm summer forests, I could explore it for hours on end. I love you, Goodnight

if you can't sleep:
I'd tell you I love you but I'm not sure if it will hurt me, To open up like a window and let all the insects fly in once again. For it took a while to get them out. I do not like the chemicals from the fumigation, And I surely don't like having these organisms inside of me. But there is something about this weather we're having that is very tempting. I feel myself letting go of all fears and inhibitions, I feel myself opening my windows. So if I let you in I know you will hurt me, And if you come inside I know I might hurt you. I might close the window while you are still flying in, Snap you in half and nearly **** you, But I at least let half of you inside.

You are the sliver of navy blue in my crimson and golden colored sky. You might not be very noticeable, but without you the sunset would not be complete, and I could not properly transfer it onto a canvas. You are the warm sun on a fresh spring afternoon. I don't particularly like spring, but the glimmer of light is enough to put a smile on my face, and it may even make my day a bit brighter. You are the mint after a cigarette. Small, refreshing, and relieving. You are the warm breath on soft skin, The goodbye after a long day, The hug you've long desired. You are the sunrise, **** the sunset. You're new and exciting. You are the first droplet of rain. You are the mistakes, the compromise, and the solutions all in one. You are promising. You are possibly the most magical thing I have ever seen. You are possibly what I need.

You Are
There are things that **** us, like cigarettes, bad food, and deodorants But we still abuse them and take advantage of their existence. There are things that help us, Like parents, fitness, friends, and lovers But they'll still **** us anyways. Life is not life without death by its side and I'm not sure if I'll ever figure out why. And if I **** myself with my tar filled lungs and tendencies to eat terrible things on the weekends, Then so be it. While you sit there and eat all of your organic greens and go to the gym three times a week, You'll die just like the rest of us. We all have things in common, things that bind us and things that blind us, So why is it that our way to die is what defines us?

I tried watering a plant to find it was already dead She spoke to god but found out his voice was only in her head I cut my hair in hopes of reinventing my appearance She sliced her wrists in hopes of losing her existence I sang songs to the ocean hoping someone would hear me She tied a rope around her neck trying to set herself free I washed my hands in hopes of making them clean She often wonders what it's like to be buried 6 feet deep The thing about death is that it's always on our minds, It's just a matter who's ready for it and who's wishing for more time.

The snow can't hide your ashes It can only bury them if you smoke the night before So if I smoke in the morning, it's going to show. I tried using it as an ashtray, But the evidence was visible. I felt bad for tainting the beautiful white glow. I fell in love with the landscape, Even more so when it was covered in white. I fell in love with you face, Even though I don't know where it's been. I fell in love with the footsteps, Walking to where I stand. I fell in love with the rooftops, And the people who let go. So if I use my lungs as an ashtray, I know my body is covered in snow. I can use perfume to cover the evidence, But only time will let me know If this morning cigarette was worth it. If the messages were worth it, I'll probably never know. So if you see my reflection, In those snow covered hills, Just remember it when my face was white and pure like the freshly fallen snow. I can't keep falling For people and landscapes, But I can keep trying If my lungs can withstand it. So take my voice and remember it For all that it was. Take my heart and keep it Away from the cold.

marboro red, 9 am
Your lips were a pinch of color smeared on a blank canvas And I wanted nothing but to find the exact hue. I clung to you like the know is clinging to the branches, But I'll melt away eventually. Your voice was like the melancholy tone of my old guitar, I adored the sound but I always wanted more. You and I, we are like cups of water. People drink us when they need to feel clean, They drink us when they need to feel satisfied. They use us in recipes and to cleanse their bodies. But never are we their favorite drink. You are the water to my body. You make up 75% of me.

The sun has hidden behind the clouds again and I am questioning myself more than I ever have. Who am I Why am I here Why is right now my time to be alive? People come and go and I don't know why Do they see through my exterior? Do they know how torn apart I am On the inside?

5 more inches
I can't help him when I can't even help myself anymore Because days have turned into months and I'm just dying to crawl Out of my skin and out of this world it's full of sadness and carelessness and misery and doubt And I had you back for a moment and now you're walking back out And I can't keep apologizing for stupid little things And giving people advice when all I need is an embrace To let me know I am human and that it will all be okay But I'm sinking in sorrow and the snow just keeps falling And I can't help but wonder what would happen if I laid down on the ground And let this white blanket consume me Would I die and be reborn or Become absolutely nothing
