Hey so I don't post that much but periodically I get a random surge of inspiration and voila! But yeah there could be huge gaps between postings and I'm just warning anyone who newly followed me because it might be a disappointment
You don't know fear until it's 1am and your close friend texts you that he wants to drive his car off a bridge and you want to scream but it's 1am and you're supposed to be asleep. You don't know fear until you're 12 years old and your father comes to pick you up from a great week of camp and you demand to know where your brother is because, well, he promised to come get you and it's only until you're driving home that you find out he's in the hospital because he almost hurt himself irreparably. And you don't know fear until you're ******* around on the tracks with your best friend and don't notice the train and you scream for him to get off and thankfully there's two hearts pounding on the gravel as relieved laughter echoes across the emptiness and not one. And believe me, you don't know fear until the girl who means the world to you tells you that she's not okay, more not okay than you initially thought, and the only ting you can do is feel the tears start to pour as, for the first time in your life, you pray to someone out there that she'll be okay. You don't know fear until you find out so much about a close friend and you go through every day terrified he'll end himself and you won't be able to stop him. You don't know fear until something happens to someone you love and there's nothing you can do.

Fear
I get butterflies when I see you But they're not peaceful, content to merely flutter around in my stomach and make me nervous. No, these butterflies are aggressive , Unsatisfied with staying inside. These butterflies demand to be released from the prison of my larynx. These butterflies travel up to my lips and force their way out in the form of stupid little phrase and mumbles and stutters. Only when they're outside do they realize they should've stayed trapped. Their wings brush my eyelids and lower them. They crowd down my throat, tightening it. Only when they're safe inside Do I dare look up once more. It's a relief to see you laugh it off, ignore it The butterflies calm, waiting for another moment to rebel.

Butterfly
There--she's standing right there. Just do it. Just say it. Deep breath. It's okay. "Hey so I know we've talked and stuff and I know we're just friends and I KNOW we're really different but....I like you and...I...I mean....forget it." No. The nerves come again and I leave her standing there. And another day will pass, and a week, and a month And even if I've recited it so many times in my head I never tell her because it feels so wrong Because every time I've done it before in the past We grow more distant than before. So I'll leave her be and wait quietly on the side Hoping....that, for once, she'll come for me.

It's sweater weather, hoodie weather, crush-the-fallen-leaves weather It's colder weather, bleaker weather, grayer, foggier, quieter weather It's darker weather, creepier weather, don't-go-out-alone-at-night weather It's long walks weather, graveyard weather, almost-Halloween weather It's fading weather, dying weather, eerie, empty, silent weather. And yet....I've never felt more alive

You...are my drug Not in a good sense You get me high, higher than the sky but it's the crash, the crash that I remember. I see you and it's like you're injected into my blood. And at first I don't feel anything But then.... Then comes the dialation Perspiration Quickening of the heart There's a quiet thudding in my ears and I can't quite concentrate It feels so great to be around you but when we separate I crash. I hate myself for wanting you The eyes contract to normal And the cold sweat dries The pounding in my ears goes quiet and I'm left with my thoughts, Thoughts of loathing. I hate how you make me Happy. I hate your side effects, you ****** drug, And I Hate You

My Drug
With soft pinks and oranges and purples a sunset is so pretty Whenever one is exceptional People will stop and stare. "Wow!" They go. "It's stunning!" They'll drop what they're doing to go admire it. But sunsets fade. They always fade to black. Yet somehow in their fleeting glory, everybody loves a sunset I think someday I'd like to be a sunset.

Pretty
Sitting here, amidst these ruins Waiting for something to come Be it train or deer or people I hope it's soon--I'm going numb I wish there'd be a gentle breeze To stir the moisture in the air Then, perhaps, I'd concentrate On poetry, not sweaty hair An hour passes, perhaps two Or maybe only twenty minutes? I can't quite focus--this is hard I might just listen to the crickets But I'm not quitter--this'll get done All I need's a bit more inspiration This oil well of creativity is running dry My artsy engine's suffering from dehydration Guess I'll dig and drill and dig some more Until I hit a vein of ingenuity Perchance the topic'd be of love Or of some ethereal obscurity Yet pen to paper doesn't click No matter how it's written Not love, not pain, not anything Appears to simply fit in So after several hours here I think I have decided To simply base this poem on What life now has provided.

Inspiration?
What do you do When everyone around you is falling apart And you can't keep them together Even though you so desperately want to?
