I went to church today I don't know what I was trying to find Hopes? Dreams? A figure to follow and some worthy morals? I wanted advice, I wanted to feel alive I left there with these words resonating in my head "Homosexuality and suicide are abominable" a short phrase that sums the fancy and elaborated speech of the preacher Only the sinful suffer, and I guess that's why I am troubled. I've thought of suicide jokingly and seductively more times that I could possibly count I have kissed girls and I am openly attracted to them I am not afraid of saying it and with respect, showing it. According to the bible; Lesbians and gays was a punishment for not obeying God Suicide is a way of controlling your faith And the only one that has power over you is the Lord. God gives you what he thinks you deserve He knows you since before you where born and because of that he is more responsible of yourself than yourself itself. Your brains are too small how dare you to contradict the all powerful one with such disturbing thoughts? He created all and everything, all and nothing He knows what he is doing, and in no way you can try to question him I felt more small and insignificant than ever, How did a invisible figure matter more than my logical arguments? Can't I decide what I want? Isn't it my body and my emotions the one in play? There's other 8 billion people and you try to guilt trip me because I want to end it all? Sinners will suffer only the prayer can save you, you can't save yourself, God will save you. Isn't it better to try to put myself together? Wouldn't I be learning more with that experience? Instead of repeating words of prayers, shouldn't It try to save myself or solve the problems? How dare you to contradict the all powerful one with such disturbing thoughts! If God chooses to give you what he believes is right Then why am I the one in so much pain? Why good things doesn't happen to good people and to the bad ones bad things? Is it because the bad ones will always pray? I went to church today I tried to find support, I wanted to confess "Hey, I want to **** myself" I thought that well... If so many people could feel happy by worshiping I didn't loose anything by trying I instead ended up gaining: guilt, trouble, and a feeling that I will burn in hell

In that precise moment Locked in a hot sweaty tedious classroom the words stopped making sense and my thoughts took control In the middle of a Sociales class is when I realized… I am wasting my life, it is dripping through my fingers I am wasting my time, with a useless lesson after other, I am wasting my energy, (the little I have left) I am wasting it, and the hours that pass won’t come back It surprises me how can no one realize the direct and -not even trying to be hidden- brainwashing They say “think outside the box” but here’s what outside the box should be. And no one cares, and no one tries, if not, everyone solemnly obeys. I try to raise my voice but I’m shush I try to express an alternative opinion but I’m shush I try to fit, but I can’t and once again I’m sent to shush. I try to cry for help, but no one comes. I spend my nights working, taking another sip in my ever lasting coffee, writing essays, solving equations, answering questions I won’t sleep, there’s no time for that, I need to finish But for what? I finish my work, I get the highest grades But for what? What’s the point of it? What do I get in return? No sleep, another headache, and tons of papers to finish due tomorrow. That’s all, that’s what I’m supposed to be, another efficient machine. And no one cares if you cry or yell, if you cut or punch, no one cares, But if you finish your work, if you write the 2000 words. Then it’s alright, because you are doing what you are supposed to do. Because no one cares if you **** yourself, they will care when they see your motionless body, when there’s nothing left to do. Then they care, and the 2000 words don’t matter anymore Because you are already gone.

I'm gone (a poem about education)

I thought that for once my luck was reversed, That this time maybe a lovable smile could be painted on my normally pursed lips too late I realized it was a mistake, happiness wasn’t here to stay, it was a trick, a sick joke visiting me, only wanting to touch the temple water or my sadness To see that the ocean was sweeter than my sour tears. to verify that the light couldn’t reach the dark spot where my mind resides. To check that I might not be made for happiness or any derived of such complex emotion, There’s just too many scars, too many cracks Emotional wounds constantly open and not properly disinfected, that need little more than words or looks to hurt me with the “remember” malicious bugs that eat me from the inside, delighting themselves with tinny bites, tasting the rotting parts of the place where my soul use to be alive. My heart has already perish, burning all at once and consuming itself on the fire of the moment Feeling too intensely drove me to an -not even entertaining- insanity, I decided not to feel, not to trust, not to be here, only physically I was forced to stay but emotionally and mentally I was gone, far away, At least that is what I like to think, believing that a long time before I used to feel, But I know it might be another lie, inventions of my subconscious mind trying to make my existence a more bearable experience, since looking back to the “remember” I can firmly assure that I’ve never enjoyed anything, not once or ever I was another lost soul, aimlessly wandering with no defined route, not a goal nowhere to go, I only could follow my train of thought, that firmly abstracted from the original rules Anything that tried to be implanted on me was wrong, I believed in no trusting anyone not an author, not a religion, not codes nor social norms. I couldn’t trust no one. I was -I am- alone, trying to follow my heart, that hastily died, Leaving me once again alone, without even having myself as a miserable company, lacking of wit and humor I was, -I am- not a bright thought passed me by, I was – I am- surrounded in darkness trying to find a light to turn in Something to illuminate me and scare the monsters that so fondly bear with me. I like to believe that everything changed, that I’m strong and I did overcome it but I’m weak I must admit, and everything is the same, the faces have disfigured into other strangers, the original names have been lost, and the surroundings have acquired different shapes and forms, But everything is the same, I’m still an unresolved mess, I haven’t changed no matter where I run and how much I delve and with desperateness I search I’ll never find my absent souI, I have lost it a long time ago,

You are all the same You all **** off and ********** you cry and laugh and with pain you “smile” You are all tired of your own sad life Working in a mediocre job that barely pays off Married or not, complaining for both “You changed!”, you yell to your average looking wife “Why am I alone?”, you ask to your fat and fuzzy cat You complain because of what you have You complain because of what you lack You complain, and cry, and claim that happiness you deserve Life doesn’t own you nothing, you darl Better learn it now or suffer some more. Money, price, fortune that’s all you need Cash makes you rich Happiness will only bring a smile To your ugly looking face “It’s ugly enough, the tv told me that I’m nothing compared to Brad Pitt Nor Johnny Deep.” “I need no smile to ugly it a little more I can have cash and my own Ferrari buy” -A world full of meaningless words and wasted hours,- You all live in a constant rush to eat, to **** to live Running up and down rushing to send the papers and talk to your hated boss But at least money is getting it. Or in the other part we can watch the opposite band The full of stress grown-ups And the careless young mans. You are locked on a king bed “Exercise? why move? I have a tv controller hiding under my sheets, also have you seen my chips?” Reading is a lost art no need of books when computer are at with shinny screens and password locks “Why read words? when you can research the intricate plot in an instant or two” Are you happy? Can I even ask Or have you lost the meaning while you loosed the habit of reading? Is that the only thing you lost? where did you virginity go? Oh “drunk as **** So you decided to **** Sounds pretty smart, Where are the neurons at? Ahh I understand, getting high everyday. Yolo, right? I’m only describing reality why getting offended? Did I hurt your feelings? Did you feel connected?

There's a wall in between    You                             and                                   I            a barrier made of unspoken words       and misinterpreted gestures,            where loves drips through the cracks             of a broken, yet solid barrier                           Where tears prevail and like           glue they stick the division in the middle of         You                                   and                                    Me             a set line between of the rest of the          World                       and my untouchable and comfortable                 Innocence   There's a war in two                                                                 sides Between no one else than Myself                              and                               Me an internal fight that never ceases A quiet war, with no more guns that explosive words and untraceable wounds Maybe that already set wall is the one that encloses myself in my own private space Alone I will remain, because no one else, the barriers dares to even try to surpass.

With a childish joy you reach for the light “it shines, it shines” with glory you cry But the shinny light to death it will drive you come too close and your sight it blinds You feel your skin slowly heating you blood is slightly boiling and your soul you are loosing Don’t you see you are too close? Seeing is not an option anymore! You have to stop, you need to stop striving for a light.. …that you’ll never come across. With a childish joy you reach for the light “it shines, it shines” with glory you cry Your main concern stays between woman, *** fashion and profit -”Man, just lose it”- You hear those screams The obnoxious sounds that have become the voices that dictate your life your fears and lies. And then you whine, and you whine when the game of life has closed the doors to your troubled and selfish soul… But the shinny light to death it will drive you come too close and your sight it blinds

Blurry Vision
I can already anticipate the unfortunate this day will be I can already feel the blood plumbing …and my motivation flunking Can I still count? The fourth, the fifth? how many have I had only this week It has become so common, part of my routine, part of me. I ineffectivly look for excuses such as the scorching heat and the buzzing sounds things I always blame, when my head starts to hurt Might it only be an inside pain manifesting in an outside suffering? an accumulation of disturbed thoughts hiding in the darker spots of my over-used mind My usual cocktail of variate pills the usual cooling pillow none of them have any effect increasing the dose has no point, no more Is there a way of curing, this bearable pain this a slight modesty easy to ignore, a undesirable company that never leaves. A friend at the door, that you can feel it’s presence and refuse to open the entrance to your lovely home but then it knocks, and it knocks The awful sound of the loud knocks that shimmer your head Nothing is bearable, not living not breathing, The screams, the yelling of the tickling pens My hands can’t avoid the shake my eyes lower, trying to close Maybe the uninvited friend will leave if the host is found in a deep sleep But no, the knocks won’t leave me alone. “Complaining you wanted company? here it is, take it”. “Don’t complain, I will be forever by your side” Oh yes, the irony of my wishes, turning back to me. “You have things to do” my inside voice yells “Remember, no time of pity, just finish your work “ “And then you might be able to sleep” Another lie, that keeps me awake another laugh of my subconscious mind, knowing that I will fall apart but wondering why, Will it be the headache caused by the torment of my thoughts? Or will it be the lack of sleep caused by an anxious mind and the pile of tedious work that needs to be done. Is this enough to break me down? “Are you this weak” laughs the cause of every headache, Your problems aren’t even problems, Family, past and friends, what a teenage ***** “You are just drowning yourself in a glass of water helped by pills”. Capsules full of chemicals in which I hope to find an answer to my inside pain. Pain, maybe I don’t even know what pain really means.

X and y together they grow or one and one together they fall It doesn't matter the change in Y Because X follows right behind One and one they are holding hands The distance doesn't changes the case For each X there’s only one Y But slutty X because more than one Y she needed to have Only one domain, for every unique range That was the only rule of the function, you fool! It is a line, of life and death and when I checked More than one was in your life And only one can be in mine. Y cutting words affected X, It doesn't work this way I can’t have you if you’re just going to graph. Whatever number comes in play When you know they can’t succeed in this always constant motion it just doesn't function!

I was supposed to do math homework.
With the darkness and the insomnia like only companions a crazy idea illuminated my mind. The idea that everything was real, doesn’t matteri f you are mute, deaf or blind. if it’s part of imagination or reality, you choose, you time to pick. With the thought of a malicious ghost in my room my heart jumped a beat, in another second the calm came back to me No, there wasn’t a monster I could see, no there was no monster that would breath But for a small instant that monster scared me, being not real for anyone than me If I could get scared and could change my state Maybe a monster was in there. What is real after all? How many doors the universe give us and how many of those enclose hope? In my mind there was a black shadow eating me alive Only in my mind it was, but with reality I strive One second of sanity lost and in a game trick I was locked What is real, what is not? Oh I guess my mind is lost. Maybe you can’t see it, maybe you don’t know It isn’t real for you, but for me with horror I though If I can think about it, then It does exists. In my mind is alive, in my mind is real, it changed me And I might never make you agree, That there’s still monsters under my bed But there is monsters in my head. And both are as real for me as anything you can feel, hear or shear.

Monsters under my bed
I will stand up all night Since I won’t do anything with my life I can’t dream nor sleep This time so late is when I can finally weep I cry and curse My tragic course The days pass and the nights end But I can only ask myself when? When would the sad nights finish? When would I find a friend, A lover a companion that will squish my fears and scare the pain away But no, the tears keep dripping And the moon keeps shinning The loneliness will stay and it’s darkness will stain The never ending fight, The never ending run Like a cycle it repeats, isn’t there a might? A chance of change, A someone to appear, or as an insomiac I am doomed to remain. Alone in my bed, with the eyes wide open Thinking the worse, in pieces I’m broken, Can someone try to find me, And try to repair my sleepy mess Trying is enought, since my hopes are less Disapointment has hit me Twice at least? More than that I am chained to this bed I am chained to this missery, to this mental trap Should I sane myself? Or wait to someone to save me Save me from me, how ridiculous can I be Maybe the pieces are in a place unseen. Maybe there’s no pieces to be found And there’s only a future to make up Maybe it is better to just sleep Will it help me to brush the pain with one blink?
