25/M/Detroit
When the clock strikes twelve in a quarter of an hour, it shall be your special day The lady of the hour. I want to tell you happy birthday my sweet, pretty flower. To see you on this special day I'd do anything in my power. I want to say that I love you I pray to God you still care I want to say I miss you so much There's no one else like you anywhere. I want to say that I'm sorry I never meant to push you away We used to fight sometimes It hurt a lot sometimes But I still want you back anyway I think about you every day There must have been a better way I need you right now more than ever Please tell me this silence won't be forever

What I Wish I Could Say
I'm not sure if the sun came up I haven't seen it shine There's something wrong, I think I'm stuck I'm running out of time I'm not sure if I'm still awake I think I might have drowned There's nothing here, it feels so fake I think I'm falling down

Resuscitate Me
Loneliness. Just my shadow sits beside me. Monotonous. Not even the birds, nor the bees. Uncertainty. I don't think I'll ever change. Insanity. My God, I'm so deranged. I need something to keep me sane I don't know what it is I just know I am not the same Such a shame it is. I think I dropped my feelings in this well of murky black I hope someone can help me find them before I have a heart attack.

Losing Control
Outside, it's cold as ice But I can feel the blistering heat around my neck. The burning grip, I can't escape leaving me mutilated as I cease to breathe These are the hands of a murderer inhuman and inanimate I thrash through the embers in attempt to escape the vicegrip that leaves me bleeding, gasping, burning amongst the flames I am a brutalized, bleeding corpse. Pain and indifference drips onto the floor with every worthless step that I take The demons have stabbed me repeatedly I've lost every drop of humanity I had Everything I've ever loved has been destroyed This is not what was meant to be It's me and my demons, and I've just lost it Someone's going down, and it's not me Today I will tear the hands of my demons from my brutalized, mutilated face I will pull the devil's crushing deathgrip from my lifeless corpse. I shall watch the blood pour from his body, Listen to his bones begin to shatter, and the screeching sound of his inhuman, brutal wretching like the squeals of a pig. I'll set him ablaze and watch him burn. The devil's vice-grip hands couldn't hold me down. I'm ready to start my mission. I'll tie my demons to a tree and do unto them what they've done to me I'll tighten these chains around their neck, Just like they tried to do to me. I'll watch them suffer, struggle to breathe Then I'll tighten these chains some more. and when they think they've reached the end I'll stab them with knives a hundred times. Soak them in gasoline, light the match I'll watch the flesh fall off their burning bodies. And I'll do it with a smile on my face. This job will not be done until each and every one is wholly unrecognizable, Skulls shattered into a million pieces, Bodies thrashed, cut up and burned They thought they were certainly stronger than me. But they would soon meet their demise. I put a bullet in all their heads and they all hit the ground, dead. They should have listened to what I said. Should have ****** with someone else instead. I put bullets in all their heads. Now they're all ******* dead.

Do you lie awake at night wondering about when the pain will go away and when you'll see a better day? Have you ever thought maybe you just aren't good enough and you're bound to live the rest of your days depressed and distraught? Did you ever say this is just too much when you hit rock bottom and didn't know how long you'd stay? This is a message from me to you Don't forget that you are you and of all who roam this world there are none the same as you Don't ever think for a second you don't matter, or you aren't good enough Your mere existence is something special There's more to this than you can see If you've been hoping for someone to tell you I hope I can make my message clear Set the blade down, please don't disappear The world wouldn't be the same if you weren't here It's not much, but I hope this is what you needed to hear I know you're stronger than what you fear

Don't Fall Away
Here I present to you A single deck of cards. I cannot tell you which card is on top nor the second, nor third. But if we flip one over, One by one, And stack them into a new deck, soon we will know the face of every single card. So let's take some time to wander through these dark, dreary places And we'll sift through these cards, Jacks, Queens, Kings, Aces.

Patience
I took a step inside your mind and found a place I'd been before It's nothing good, this deja vu but I'm right here, and I'll help you I see your thoughts inside your eyes just like when I gazed through the mirror at mine I know your smile hides what underlies But you and I, we'll walk this mile So allow me to shake the hands of your demons These beasts are hardly strangers to me I'll guide you through this maze of burning trees just like the angel who was there for me I need you to look into my eyes as I tell you it's okay to cry And I'll walk through hell with you if it makes you feel alive

If It Makes You Feel Alive
These are not human beings flourishing amidst their modern backdrop of screens and social media and likes and retweets and the like These are not smiling faces aboard the train on their daily commute heading to the job they hate so they can come home to the family who doesn't love them These are not happy marriages packed with love and affection, But more like a failure just a worthless, shattered piece of glass that we grind beneath our shoes on the floor These are caffeine and adderall-driven bodies holding guns to their heads as they **** down a coffee right after getting no sleep for the millionth night in a row so they can go to work and contribute to society Society that is cutting-edge Society that is the greatest yet Society like a train with broken brakes Humans like robots These are silhouettes with their souls ripped out of them These are dead bodies murdered

redline
A Friday night. A slippery street. A man, intoxicated. Sitting in the driver's seat. A family. A man and his wife. A young child. Worthy of life. A young adolescent. A night with a loved one. Never thought for a moment It might be the last one. A poor decision. A light turned red. A delayed reaction. Head-on collision. A first responder. A face, bleach white. A shirt stained red They've lost their fight. A stretcher in an ambulance. A paramedic on the call. A dreaded flat line. They've tried and lost them all. A police officer On the phone, against the wall. "Hello, this is the police. I'm really sorry I have to make this call." A funeral for a family Every casket closed. Everyone is asking why. They never got to say goodbye. A female kneeling at the grave looking down with bloodshot eyes "I love you and I want you back, I hope you hear me from the sky" That poor decision was a choice You said it wasn't worth catching a ride And you can't ever take it back now These are families torn apart and dead inside

vehicular homicide
I planted a seed I watched it grow. I watered it daily I loved it so. Every morning I opened my eyes So I could admire you. And you used to look back at me and you admired me too. But I looked to the horizon, and I saw death in the sky. Then, the storm took you away from me and I couldn't understand why. It's been a long time since I lost my sweet, pretty flower Sometimes I want to plant a new one But I don't think it will grow. Sometimes I feel like I've already planted one Other times I feel like I never did. Maybe I planted it but never watered it. I don't really know. I want to ask you to be my sweet, pretty flower But I think I forgot how.
