My God! My God! My most Loved God! The same one that I sought Doth strike me down Upon this Holy ground And lay my body here to rot Fill my body with a fire! Run smoke into my lungs! I shall lay here Confused by fear Till I cough up all my blood

in a church on Sunday morning (9/2/18)
i don't like the thought of leaving i suppose i never did they had to pull me out of my mothers womb by my feet as i was reaching at the inside walls of her stomach trying to grasp onto something that wasn't there. that's probably the first time i got this feeling you know the one that you get at the end of a trip when it feels as if your stomach is eating itself. and that's the feeling i'm feeling right now as i sense an ending being near, the end of some sort of chapter and it's scary with the knowledge that i'll never get those months back. and it's ... /frightening/ today at lunch my dad told me that when he was my age he was married, paying for an apartment, and going to school. i wish i could let that go. instead i've been looking at my dead end ******* job like a coffin with my name on it like i'm gonna die the same way i lived in the food industry bury me with mcdonalds soft serve and a chicken jr. from burger king. and i can feel myself grabbing for the inside of my mothers stomach and there's nothing to hold on to. and without any sort of warning i am pulled out of my warm bunker and i'm tossed into the cold dark world and all i can do is cry and let go.

crying
there was a time in my life where i didn’t feel i needed you but it’s safe to say that was before we ever met and though i wouldn’t label it as an obsession by any means still an infatuation nonetheless and now it’s not that i need you but more so i want you because i believe i can survive on my own well, i think that then here comes my medusa to look me in the eyes and turn me to stone.

the night i first found out he might be sick it rained. i ate manhattan's favorite rice-a-roni and tried so hard to feel something to be fair i was very upset but i didn't feel it. all i got was a headache from forced tears and a sleepless night. three months earlier near the time of my birthday i was having a terrible day per usual, when i received a birthday card in the mail. it was from my sister and on the bottom of the card it said from: then their names followed but in the biggest font, right underneath the rest of their names was his, 'Elijah,' written by his own hand. I smiled at the thought of him smiling while writing that.

the last time we had *** i gave you rug burn on your back. it stayed there for some of the months to follow and remained painful as i broke your heart. in the moment i felt bad about the red scabs that protruded down the outline of your spine. but looking back i'm glad i could give you a reason to think of me. as horrid as it sounds i'm glad i could give you discomfort in your sleep, just as months later you would do to me. and though i wish you the best now, i hope that when you wince as you sit back in a seat you think of me and only me.

my love for her is strictly platonic, because what else could it be? I sit on her couch and smile at every single word she says. Her soft hand touches my knee, exposed by my shorts, as she laughs. Out of nowhere she states, “I like the idea of heaven, but only if there’s not a hell.” I realize then what triggered that statement. we were talking about religion, ironic to me is just that, we were talking about religion while I worship the ground she walks on. My love for her is strictly platonic, I worship her, but only as a friend.

what does it feel like when you have a panic attack? it feels like i'm running it feels like i'm running downhill and i just can't stop myself and i feel my knees lock up and i feel my legs go weak but i just can't stop i'm like a car that has been put in neutral no i'm like a car whose brakes have been cut because i have no choice to stop and and and i start apologizing i'm sorry i say i'm sorry but it's not working i'm not stopping and so i start getting angry don't ******* go to sleep don't ******* leave me can't you see that i need you? why would you ******* leave me when i need you? why don't you love me? why don't you ******* love me? and with every word my pace gets faster i pick up speed and the hill gets taller and steeper until it is a ninety degree angle and i'm falling i'm falling to my destruction why don't you ******* love me? i keep repeating why don't you ******* love me? until i hit the ground with a boom so big that it could destroy an entire city and i breathe and i look around at the destruction and i keep breathing why am i like this? i ask myself what's wrong with me?

often times when i go into restaurants with my parents that have little candles in the middle of the the table i always check to see if its a real flame in case i need to burn the place down if my parents try to ask me about politics.
