Low self esteem is cute, when you’re lonely. Hovering about, in some boneless pose. My invariable stream, of thoughts has ceased, I wait. Higher functions diverted, until You’ve arrived. Aloofness abounds, it thickens the air Awkward, in the skin of you towards me, cuts progressing our bodies shrink, everything contracts Towards the invisible, Except your eyes. Beautiful and deep, A different sort of infinite They only expand

the accentuated (self) consciousness of the recently noticed
It’s all a matter of time. this whole time, was a matter of time. one after another, then the next Look at all the different kinds, pretty in their way. It’s almost interesting. until it’s all the same It’s all the same. It’s all the same. monotony takes hold Hold it tightly. it punctures through My Beautiful Brain as the sand falls listless I stand and wonder, what am I losing? Nothing important I hope just my time, apparently endless

The Cost of Living
Isn’t it Wonderful, The suffocating love of a hundred people They want you, what’s best for you What’s best for you, what is best for you? Rejecting them means rejecting love, but you are in short supply of you As demand increases, so does price the price of you the price is you. Sanity sets in, escape’s let out every night let it out, beats staying in Some are in short supply of love ******** Not you The suffocating love of a hundred people let you know Across the room, across the country a hundred people can’t help shedding ‘bout one sixty does only, you have to shed it anchors only work when attached love it pulls your judgment, mind from its foundation wants to make your choices wants to make your coffee you start to save you, in a container with a seal the shiny latch makes a pop noise You can see through the otherside No one can get in, Not with the pop noise Its where you keep you in the house, Close the door pressure mounts let it out in drops, thoughts and blood watch it heal, know you’re better lets you know, you are better, you are better You are Better, better isn’t with help, it doesn’t come with age it’s a choice you make the suffocating love of a hundred people they pile on blankets, keeps you warm but at a hundred blankets deep you aren’t moving move. Don’t think about me, don’t think about him Just move and keep moving, roots and anchors Learn which is which Remember which is which Act on which is which you grow roots, anchors are placed upon you usually around the neck region. Box up all the memories, store them if you like But don’t stay attached, burn if necessary Anchors only work if they’re attached You can’t ‘be ready’ for something that’s already happened It’s the past in those boxes, the fond death of past nothings, Life only exists in the future, Not to be too dramatic but we’re dying, right now in the present we breath out life out as we speak Only the future has life, stored as potential just take the steps cut out the cancer if you want to be ready for something, be ready for what’s next

I had a dream of a woman A dream of a tattoo This woman with a tattoo With a thin black line from her mouth From her mouth to her throat, straight down From her mouth to her thighs Two halves carry the line Separate her body Down her ribs Through her body Thoughts and blood Her heart is two Her throat is two She is two One can One can’t She can’t, but wants to She doesn’t want to, but will Half a mind to Marrow and melancholy Bright eyes Dark hair Blue veins Red lips Beautiful like a dream
