American J. Alfred Prufrock and Phaethon.
It started as an ache, An ache that always whispered: "You'll never belong" but then It became an obsession of finding that belonging but always knowing that I won't. So what am I to do? A lost American With generational displacement. Do I keep searching or try to find it in her (whoever she is) or just mask it... Until I die Creating my own culture of melancholy

10/30 @ Noon
Drinking alone, I feel so happy. Noone to judge me and no reason to try to race home. I'm not bored but I feel at peace and that's the goal when you're trying to drown your past So the plan came to fruition just hope there's no hangover.

The Plan Was
At this point I'd rather just be completely alone. Because then there's no facade that I'm never not alone. And that's the thing that hurts me the most. It's like I'm telling myself a lie always, to cope with my hidden fear of being alone. "Yeah you have this and that" but when I'm laying here alone in the dark trying to sleep all my thoughts creep and I know I'm truly alone. And that's the only thing I need answered: Why do I constantly feel this way?

Why Do I Feel So Alone
Rosary touch Clutch Rush-ing Is my new religion I plead and beg You're Lazarus But I'm still dead Rushing Is my new Religion I read you Over and over I please you We're over We're over Rushing is my religion It's not new to me It's new to you Nightmares from a bottle While I hang on a rood Rushing is a religion But it's just not new Why?

Is it worth living if you have to tie a noose? With each passing day you make a new knot on a new rope With the hope that you'll live. But in reality you already have one on your neck And each day you're making more and more To look at. You see all your mistakes, Each rope spelling your Flaws, tears, fears, And yet you press on. You create an illusion A world where you're happy You see yellow and green and all those other happy colors And do everything because you Want to see everyone smile. But you're gasping to stay alive And then all you feel is blue.

Noose on My Heart
The one question ive been asking myself What is love? Is it the moonlit walks that give romance a name? Is it that feeling of a fire building deeply inside? Is it that butterfly that flutters when they call your name? Is it the tears that flow down your face like a river? Is it the shield that stops a bullet from piercing your skin? Is it the choice to wake up everyday and say your feelings haven't changed?

Nothing can compare to the feeling of her. Nothing matches, she's one of a kind but with like any flower you have to let it go when it's dying. You can water it more, expose it to light but without the right grounding it'll wither away, and we both know true love stays. No matter the day or the feeling. True love never leaves, it will grieve it will sting but it'll never leave. It's like a fire it burns when you touch it and its hot when youre close but the more you're exposed the more it feels like home. Love is that I love you at the end of the day. Love is that argument that keeps you up all night. Love is compromise and making someone a priority. That's why love is so coveted because not everyone gets to experience the true nature of love. There is no finger pointing there is just ears ready to bear whatever noise you make, and to take every punch thrown. Love is beautiful, I do love you, but I don't think the love is mutual. And that's okay.

Discrepancy
Scream over and over but it relaeases nothing. This hurts and I hope my seed wasn't planted. I hope it doesn't grow to be me or you. I hope it becomes its own and stands taller than me or you. I hope it knows both of us, and I hope it stays true. Stress stress stress none of it is cool.
