Sometimes I feel like I'm loosing it Sometimes I feel like I already lost it But there's that little hope I have deep down in my pocket I don't try and hope I don't try to expect because every time I do I get let down from it So I just keep it distant from my actual thoughts And I'll keep trying my best but hope is what hurts me Hope is the let down of the century You can't hope for what you can't control And you can't control others so should we hope? All we do is make wishes Hoping there's a higher being above us Hoping we die hoping we live forever It's this constant cycle of hate and self loathing . Sometimes we all feel when we're lonely But it's you in the end and you can't hope for success you work for it only you can change you Only you can judge you Only you can make yourself happy And hoping isn't really healthy

Unhealthy hope
I painted a picture A picture for you With elegant colors The perfect stroke My paintbrush Painted itself My emotions Drew it all out Patience As I take time With each line The shape of your face Seeping into the canvas The perfect picture In my mind As I get closer to The finish line My patience become Unnoticeable I forget to go slow And my lines become Scribbles and It doesn't look like you anymore I spent hours Driving myself insane Hoping it would be perfect When I put it into your hands Now you'll never see it And I wasted time again Trying to paint the perfect picture The perfect picture for you.

The perfect picture
The window was my television The carpet was my bed The only thing I looked forward to was you coming in I couldn't care about the food or how comfortable I was All I could care about was hoping you'd come home I'd cry and I'd cry But it didn't do much I yelled at anyone who came in my path Because, it wasn't you. I'm tired of this window This carpet needs to be cleaned My stomach is empty I have nothing to eat I was worthy to you Your not worthy to me A mans best friend But a friend doesn't leave And never come back. Rip to me The dog You didn't care about

Overthink the things you say I can't believe ,any day. I can't believe what I see I can't see the real from the make believe I just hope and Ill just see but, what if what I see isn't reality. That's the ****** up thing you cant always believe what you see So what is trust without proof. What if what I see can't be proved. I love you Sincerely , Me to you

Hard to see
I dont even know where we are honestly. Scared of the death of your car battery Were unfocused Street signs unnoticed Though you were in the game sh*ts been over. What will we do with our lives as we grow older. Days turn into nights it gets colder Do you feel like a badass always looking over your shoulder? You have been used so have I. As I look out the window just me and you I realized all the things we have been through. Wondering why we both take the abuse thats what love tends to do Gets us confused Sometimes in silence lonely in our rooms its never a goodbye always, “see you soon” As we drive down the street fighting or not. You're always going to be my first thought. No matter how much i see you its never enough I can never get sick of your love.

The game
Piece of paper slowly drifting in the wind At one point that paper had life to it. The rain washed it away and the wind let it go What was on that paper no one knows You left a note, it said goodbye That's when I realized things get left behind. There's no need to cry It happens all the time Took a journey on its own To a place unknown With different people, different faces Things leave to different places I took the note you left me Threw it in the wind Told it to never come back again Were you went no one knows I'm still at the place we called home

Meaningless paper
I'm trading sticks of cigarette for a poem Bottles of beer for a few more Whiskeys make me forlorn Why not a few more poems So I scribble and scribble some more I'm trading my loneliness for lines Rhymed or rhymeless, why should I mind When the please the eyes and tickles the mind I sure will memorize and mimic them like a mime So I'm still scribbling on this torn paper of mine I'm trading my hearts pain Trading it for a paper and a pen Like a painter ready to paint I deep my petite paint brush in a bowl of paint Dap dap, little dots, strokes and dashes as I dare to paint Little by little the whole picture is becoming plain I'm trading all love's tears Tears shade in secrecy for a poem shared publicly Though seemingly absurd but poems brings this inconceivable peace. So I'm scribbling and scribbling my way to serenity. I trade it all for a piece of poem I may not have made the point But I've washed clean my plough And starring at this beautiful not-so-beautiful poem I have read and reread it that it is starting to sound like a song. Reading one last time, "my best trade ever".

My Best Trade
Take me to the hospital I think im overdosing I couldn’t take it anymore Good thing they diagnosed me. He lied there and cried from those pills Thought if he died he'd be something real    Scars are not always visible Beaten with words, never felt so invincible He’s quiet but, his mind is screaming Tried to figure it out, life has no meaning They all say its a phase he'll be better soon. In reality he never was, now what do they do? __ Chorus    Nobody takes him seriously Some kind of conspiracy When they find out It will be too late You cant stop The constant beating Of self hate __ Give him a chance to speak Give him a break from everything he’s seen. If no one picks him up   He will forever be in our dreams No more reality Life just isn't what it seems    Another pill popper, a maniac, a **** smoker, addicted to crack. When they’re gone you can't bring them back   The state he’s in its caring he lacks No one gives him confidence so,   He slacks and he slacks. No job to pay the bills, just a drug dealing act You can't make money when you ingest all the profit. When its too late there's no way to stop it __ chorus      Nobody takes him seriously Some kind of conspiracy When they find out It will be too late You cant stop The constant beating Of self hate __    He was too young, and it was too soon. He can't fix what he already consumed. Sitting all alone in his room. He was satisfied. For that one moment he felt alive. He said he'd be happier if he died.    Yes we cried but, we all moved on    For people like him, I wrote this song

I am not scared and I will be strong. I’ve been lonely for ten years and now, I can see what has been gone. I am taken to a different place, far from home. The plane took me high and soared until things got low. I walked down the hallway of doom and distress. This wouldn't be a problem if he had never left. Walk into a room thats plain yet, engaged in activity. A conveyor belt and tags that say names, scrambled in my mind going their separate ways. I tell myself to focus and find my bags from here. The voices and the noises distract me, nothing has been clear. I see my name as nauseous as I can be. My stomach has taken a turn on me. I find my bag and look around my vision is blurred and I can not hear a sound. I see his face threw the sea of people. Wearing the same flannel sweater he had ten years ago. He dominates the atmosphere with his torn up pants and his messed up hair. He looks the same but his hair is receding. His face is drooped down like paint that just won't dry. He grew tall but skinny like a plant that has withered. His face is pale but his eyes are rich brown. He has a genuine smile with teeth that had fallen out.    I walk up to this man I haven't seen in years we looked at each other and, we burst out in tears. Even though I don’t know him, I remember his face. From ten years passing by I’d imagine he's changed. He use to be plump and his face well rounded now it looks like he had been beaten by thoughts and loneliness. I can tell when he seen me his life already got better. He couldn’t stop talking like he was gone for forever. I talked right back to him because, I know how it feels. I look back on all the years without him and realized we feel the same. The difference is he made the choice of being alone ,I had no need to be left. I felt lost my whole life, until he came back. Lost from what I can’t quite figure out. I just needed to feel the feeling of him being around. We walked out the crowded place and, went on from there. No one really changes, he still smelled like beer. You think someone would give up the little things for something so big. I left a couple days after, and haven’t seen my dad since. He chooses to be lonely and, I still suffer from it.

They all say its a phase but we know that's bllsht . For many years we cry about the same old sh*t. That the adults always clearly miss. We are stuck in our minds with no way out. Stuck in the thought of getting better somehow. Its not a phase we just can't get over what's been in our minds so long. We make ourselves unhappy because we can't stop thinking about things. We can't just forget about it and move on. Hapiness doesn't just come. Escpecially when things that make you happy always tend to dissapeer. We ignore things until it all builds up. Then we cry about everything that's so messed up. They all say is a phase but its never changed things can't always change when your not in control of changing them. We just have to live with the fact that things can't be perfect You can't always fix what's been broken.
