American I write stuff. A portion of that stuff is poetry.
Trees look the same when you say they're just trees Food tastes the same when all you do is eat People look the same when all you do is look Music sounds the same when it's verse, hook, chorus, hook

I’m falling like the leaves Plummeting into an unknown area Things are changing all around me And changing inside I don’t know where I’m going But the wind will take me there I haven’t discovered my final destination   Or the meaning of my fate But it’s different from then And I know that when The timing is right And my heart isn’t fickle I      will        be            happy.

Fall
This coffee’s burnt my tongue And now I can’t use my mouth The toast feels like sandpaper But the butter’s slowly melting Give me back my mouth Give my back my voice I’ll open it up Let it go in And the words come out

Give Me Back My Mouth
I waited for you An avalanche of good intentions I’m waiting for you Here’s to nothing We’ve made it there

If I could be anything I’d be me Whatever the **** that is If I could hear anything It’d be you Calling my name If I could be anywhere It’d be home Again, Where the **** is that?

The Importance of Being Nobody
The atmosphere changes So does the temperature so does my face I see a room of faces A sea of things that look just like me Nose, eyes, hair, lips But none of them look like me None of them are me I don't know what I am doing I turn to leave but the doors have all been locked There are no windows I feel the heat rising The faces multiply I can't move So I stand in the room of faces and I wait Wait for something perhaps nothing to save me from the dread that my reality may be the future of everything

Room of Faces
I remember a time when I ate the world You were there too One bite was all it took For all the dirt and water to be fully consumed I think I vomited afterwards

The Night We Ate the World
A heated car is humming in the driveway You can see that the lights are on from outside It's dawn The sun has not been fully shown It's still dark But the light is rising Wet leaves adorn the pavement I'm at your front door My heels on wet wood You're not fully dressed You're eyes, not fully open I'm waiting for the words You are as well I've been waiting for this moment all of my life For you To come with me Our lives to start The ones we have planned And now I find myself at a familiar place Again I am waiting The car behind You in front And the inevitable sun slowly rising above this all

The Waiting Place
I won't leave now I'll cry when it's a mess I'll keep on pretending  I'm a ********* I guess To the pain of my own life I can see how this ends It ends with you walking, Me crying  Of course you won't change You never have I never could But I'll be wallowing With the tears, I'm swallowing And in a way I'll be happy With the way This was meant to be
