I will tell you right now that when I write, I write with a sense of urgency I try to tell a story with the first thing that pops in my head and I go from there. Sometimes I write solely on the gut wrenching feeling I get in the pit of my stomach. I don't really think of how to put my words, or which word would sound better or even more beautiful than it is. All that I know is I, in particular in life have a sense of urgency. So these short stories, or poems if you would like to call them. Yet my -whatever- they are (ink splattered mess perhaps?) could never amount to that of a poem. This is an explanation on why my writings make little to no sense at all.
This isn't what I wanted. Hands gripped Eyes shut. Keep them, keep them coming. I said watch me take the nape of your neck with my lips and show you what it is like to have my chest on yours. Is this what you meant when you said I reminded you of the moon? How I escape every now and then but when I appear I take your breath away? Because baby I see how you leave at dawn to chase the sun. This isn't what I wanted. His hands tangled in my hair when all I can think about is the last time I saw you You were standing in that **** doorway, your eyes glistening I asked you what was wrong And you told me how you weren't afraid of the dark anymore.

Nightlight
This is what happens when you get too involved. Everything starts to fall apart. You lie awake every single **** night. And every single **** night you try to remember how it was. Back before you got too involved. You remember that you were lonely. You remember that you craved to stop merely existing, you craved to be alive. You got so used to craving that you became content with being lonely. You were okay. You knew that one day you would not just exist. You were going to be more. Then you got involved. You started living. You started allowing yourself to feel again. You allowed yourself to fall. You allowed yourself to be stupid and bold. You allowed yourself to get attached. But you forgot one thing. The reason why you did not allow yourself to get involved. You remembered that when you got involved, you got too involved. You started to feel too much, but not at all. You started to love these people so much, whether they knew it or they had no idea how much they meant to you, you loved these people so much you burnt a hole right through your chest. And now you lay awake every single **** night gasping for air because you forgot how to breathe. You lay awake every single **** night trying to forget how you used to be so content with being lonely. You lay awake every single **** night asking yourself why you allowed yourself to get involved because they have nothing to give back to you.

Find my way back home
I was patient It was not what I expected I can keep being patient Until I know what I feel is real

I thought it was everything I wanted
Last year I would cry because I felt so alone But now I am crying because I feel so loved and alive And I am so god **** scared to be alone again

Senior Year
you are like the sun you give off light and life to everyone around you but on the inside you are slowly self destructing

lonesome
Close your eyes Breathe in then let it out The pain, in your gut The need for something Something you cannot grasp in the palm of your hands. The need for what What what what? Tell me, tell me I beg of you. What do you mean you don't know? It hurts, everything hurts I know, I know sweet It is okay that you don't know That is why you write That is why you write such strange things Things that mean nothing but something You write what you feel And feel what you write But you must keep in mind That you have always known yourself Too little but too much

Everything is a mess
*Circle of faith Circle of flowers Flowers all in a row Dancing, flowing, crying Fleeting from the ground Crawling crawling deeply Into the ground Deeper and deeper They go Darker darker Thicker thicker Until they cannot breathe Gasping gasping for air Why why why, They scream, Did they crawl crawl So deeply? Running running Digging digging upwards To the sky Air air air They scream I need to breathe*

Claustrophobic
Leave me to be fed by the birds To fade into the ground To be found months later with a smile on my face And a heart shaped scar on my arm

He smells of whiskey And tastes of regret

Longing
My chest aches with such pain Like a black hole about to implode Bursts of stars ready to be set free Free of all of the chaos rattling inside My chest aches with such pain Like the moon each night wanting to see the sun To be able to reach out and touch her But he can't because he is scared She is full of light While he, darkness
