American grow up, kid.
on my mind at all times my brain filled with emptiness a single word to hold on to: seclusion isolation from anything that can be felt in any way I want to be alone

I am numb
how much trauma can fit inside of you between the gaps before your nerves begin to fail and your ventricles collapse; a leash pulling your thoughts behind a barbed wire fence a muzzle to control your words as a last line of defense; a defective, broken down body stemmed from a tortured mind equals an futile unfinished sculpture with a hollowed out inside

coping
trust me when i say the stains i left on your teeth were intentional maybe the rose-colored blood on your hands will teach you that you can’t claim me because i am not yours to pick

raspberries
rotten apples and roaches covering the ground that she sleeps on and dreams about the day she is found weighed down by the cement he’d poured in her veins that hasn’t yet dried since it constantly rains past the ****** skies beyond the apple tree the girl with the heavy heart calls out to me i can’t help but watch her as she struggles to survive when her body starts to decay and she’s eaten alive

angels can hurt you too
they called me a whirlwind of tragedy and affliction, a life controlled by suicide and addiction. a corrupted mind plagued with over-reliance and self-doubt and that kind of self-destruction the doctors have warned you about. a constate state of numbness the kind of sadness you don't see all i wish for is what i will never have: some sort of stability

autopilot
my brain is a broken record of memories i'd like to forget my mechanic heart that has lost all ability to feel, now only focuses on beating. i've become a machine living in routine just to keep myself alive; i'm simply a pulse and brainwaves with emotions to the side, a cluttered and broken device with an almost robotic lack of enthusiasm to keep me under control; constant regulation to make sure i stay numb, to hide from the overwhelming pressure to deal with my inferior humanlike thoughts; pull the plug

covered by thorns and hidden by vines but you’re still attracted to the light that reflects from my broken sides you want to swim alone tonight but I know you’d let me hold you down Velvet rose petals and shattered glass don't mix but still you’ll love me anyway despite the scars I've left on you you’d lay with me on dead grass and let me point out your fading colors you’ll excuse my relentless attempts to bury you under ground. “you're destructive and reflective, I see myself in you” As my ridges rip you to shreds you stay with me, a ****** mess and a lonely swimmer, another garden destroyed with wasted raindrop tears

raindrop cottages
My body can't take the damage- millions of drops of acid rain are drowning the light in my brain; My doctor gave me a bottle of pills to help water the flowers you killed, but I think a professional like him should know that even weeds need sunlight to grow; I had a garden growing inside of me what else does it take to be happy?

raindrops and dandelions
they say she's a rainbow but all I saw in her was a million shades of black and gray; she's more like an earthquake, destroying everything in sight with one bad decision based on a million thoughts. she may have been beautiful but she split the world in half with trembling cries and sliced wrists. she's a natural disaster, no one saw her coming
