American I write about things.
Ignore me in all forms For someone as wonderful as you I can only be washed up in your wave To crash upon the shore and cough up my dignity Struggle to breathe in your love Gasping gasping Every breath growing desperation Please allow me to drown Drown in the ocean you embody Succumbing to your being My choice would be to die To fail or to surrender Because to be with you means to **** myself I can never be all that you are I can only be myself myself that isn't strong enough to swim in your waves To be refreshed in your care or to be thrashed in your maelstrom Ignore me please I'll sink into the abyss of your trenches wildly flailing all the way down without hope of getting out defeated and deprived I'm not strong enough To swim against your currents or even wade in your tides so please leave me be I don't wish to die in your tempest

ocean
lukewarm night with your charcoal hue pervaded by unnatural light my eyes quake tired but restless forced to stay open a heart wide awake these mud brown pupils swimming in irritated red crickets ringing mocking can't fall asleep can't fall apart can't fall again thump thump thump sweat sweat sweat please let me rest legs stick together moist and warm uncomfortable neck won't stop itching scratch scratch scratch red irritated skin matching set with eyeballs humid air feels yucky in my throat discomfort and displeasure tummy rumbles not sure if empty or full brain can't stop thinking not sure if empty or full eyelids slip eyeballs quake rinse and repeat teeth feel coated in soda worst kind of coat wanna brush teeth don't wanna get up just wanna sleep toss and turn face in pillow no good sleeping face up feels weird back pain in the morning anyway but please let me sleep now tired eyes of mine anxious heart of mine uncomfortable body of mine please let me sleep

I absolutely abhor you you wildcard you do what you want because your wants change by the day I only do what I do because I adore you chained to obsession I can only linger so far until the links tighten and pull me back towards you yet I have to watch you caress my face and tossle my hair kiss me sweetly then walk away to do whatever it is that makes you happy but when the only thing that makes me happy is you it becomes a real burden like a happy pup I wag my tail and tap my paws when you give me your attention leave me and I'll faithfully stand by the door waiting for your return so I can smile again I may amuse myself around my limited world but at the end of the day nothing makes me happier than your presence and so I suffer when what you want to do doesn't include me some days I like to pretend like I hate you like what you do is awful like I deserve better but truthfully you do you should be able to love me in the way you want not the way I demand I should be able to love you in a way you can handle not become rowdy when you can't understand me we want different things but we both want each other because when it comes to finding people you like there are a few you can spend every moment with and those are the people you can never fully let go so I'll ignore you when you want to see me but I'll go because I need to see you I'll act indifferent when you want to hang out but I'll be happy to be around you I'll do what I can to make you think I'm not crazy but my heart won't stop racing until we part I love you and that's why I hate you

get out of my head you sapphire eyed beauty don't pervade my life with that wondrous smile leave my heart alone with your infectious laugh stop with the enjoyable quips of your life back home the more I know, the more I care, and the more I care to know if you give a mouse a cookie, he's going to want some milk if you give me too much attention, I'm going to want your love and to love you is the mistake that'll be my end to spend my time thinking about the cute way you say y'all to fantasize about the taste of those supple lips or to become lost in hearing your rambles about life doesn't matter what you're talking about I'll eat up every word becoming an anxious little boy every time you suggest getting together losing my silver tongue whenever I'm in your presence words like daggers when you talk about the men who covet you it's more than your skin which radiates of marvelous florida beaches it's more than those ivory teeth which reside in that five star smile it's more than those azure blue eyes which captivate my greedy peepers you're special to me not because you're an angel you're special to me because every moment with you is heaven so cast aside those charming glances and do away with your silky voice sheathe those killer looks and put away your honest conversation stop asking for this dance once I get lost in the motions I'll glide through the steps enthralled by your being spare me the trouble love

wondrous
the days pass by like leaves in fall some days yellow some days red but you breathe life into my dull routine whether you mean to or not you are the blooming spring amongst my life's winter so I will adore you till my heart bursts and my smiles decay like the leaves that fall in the autumn breeze to empty my branches and reveal my wicked form you make me want to flourish and yet you don't mind when I'm barren the seasons pass slowly when I'm with you and the winter's frigid ice is melted by the hearth of your being be my spring and I'll be your blossoms you are the summer wind and I am the gentle waves kiss me with your warm embrace and lead me towards uncharted shores

fairweather love
Time once again for the mind’s late night talk show, and what better a time then under the moon’s late night chalk glow! The time for the mind to run rampant with fear, depression, paranoia, sorrow, ailing feelings coupled with thoughts quite unclear Run away little boy, from the shadow of a man, from the shadow of your desires, run away if you can Hide under the blanket, the pillow, or a smile. No comforts can save you from yourself, a toxic dream factory most vile Lose yourself in the light of your distracting mundane phone, it won’t stop the nightmares that plague you when alone Toss and turn as the poison seeps and your heart weeps, the discomfort is delightful as you squirm while the fog creeps Shrouded in the mist, paralyzed at the legs and tied down at the wrists, the romantic interlocking marks that a weak mind and horror kissed May your terrors come to life, and your heart fear the worst. May you flinch at every strife as your soul is now cursed. Once again the boogeyman comes to toy with your mettle, your courage being whittled down petal by petal When he gets to the stem, he shakes you at your core, instilling the mayhem until you can take no more Before you cried at the world because to the world you were small, now you are enveloped by dark where you are nothing at all Insignificant to the empty void of black, an abyss with no break, chip, or crack But why are you bent on the judgment of vacancy, why should nothing make you ashamed of complacency Why have you given up on challenging your fear, why would you rather be anywhere but here The nightmare isn’t the bloodied visages of the ghosts and the ghouls, nor is it the paranoia invading the minds of madness stricken fools Single out all the devil’s playthings and the mind’s erroneous states, add in the bad luck which binds all of our fates May I face all those dreadful barbarities in a convenient sum, for the weight of their abhorrence would fare better than living in the shadow of who I could become

What does it mean When my breathing hastens to quick desperate spurts What does it mean When my heart engorges with terrified anxiety What does it mean When I feel so utterly helpless My eyes fried from hours of entertainment, journeys of heroes and salvation All the stories I’ve been told where the brave man perseveres through anguish and strife Yet not all heroes virtuous, flawed as I am and just as helpless at times In the end, they are always saved, rescued by powers above them But for me to depend on powers above myself, I feel so selfish Who am I to deserve the attention and aid where it can be better spent on those who help themselves better Those who stand themselves up and avoid travesty before it befalls them The wise who stand tall where my knees buckle, and face righteously at the perils which intimidate my weak mettle Other endings include heroes whose cunning or hidden strength prevails Yet I feel exhausted, my melancholy tears bear no fruit towards further courage No skills to boast or helpful traits to fall back on, just a mind bottled in with emotions of despair and gloom; shaken periodically for good measure There also exists interlocking stories, where answers lie in the unity of friends, a jovial resolution where people create happiness together Pride and embarrassment prevent me from a similar fate, as it is not in my interests to bring a wretched mind to the feet of my humble friends Tainting their bliss and tarnishing the image of myself in their eyes, all sullied over a dejected mentality which may not be purified by their hands Should Darwin’s theory prove true and I be trampled among the ill-equipped to excel in such an unfair reality, I’d be satisfied in knowing that I fulfilled my mission To be beaten down and erased for the sole purpose of proving that the inferior cannot survive, to that point I would at least have served some use Right now in limbo, where I must decide what kind of story my life defines, existentialism besets my feeble pathetic mind Others live their stories, miles and oceans away, struggling through hardships infinitely more terrible Here I whine and sob at the follies of my character and injustices I cannot control, acting as though the weight of the world were ****** upon my shoulders Burdens weigh what they shall affect of a person, issues ranging from ant-hills or mountains, snowballs or avalanches, rain drops or tempests However, I am cursed with a worrying disposition which magnifies my feeling of horror and desperation Then the question remains What does it mean When I find myself, face in pillow, hoping to be clumsily pranced along to the next scene in my life like a miserable marionette What does it mean When I disappoint the people in my life, and have to bear the weight of their sunken faces What does it mean When I pretend everything will collapse upon me just because things haven’t gone my way What does it mean

***** white cap, once pristinely perfect but carelessly soiled by ignorant hands chipping green walls, a gentle calming color breaking away piece by piece to flaunt its original ugly palette Socks with holes, big and small, taken for granted and willingly allowed to continue in poor shape generously filled bottles of cologne, unused and untouched, a dream presentability accompanied by aroma shattered by melancholy indifference empty soda cans, an adoration for sweet sensation followed by a bittersweet regret in rotten yellowed teeth grease stained shirts, a consequence of gluttonous irresponsibility as well as a tragic reminder of one's forgotten delicate care wrinkled oxford shirts and lost pairs of cufflinks, to lose touch with formalities and absorb a lifestyle without need to dress with pride this house has no coasters, tables are decorated with ring stains interlocking, each one the same short story: "whoops" once glimmering and shining silver, tarnished and neglected, now shine dully whilst sitting idly untouched hair is a tangled mess, face is chaotically barbaric, body is an instrument out of tune, a person whose had a falling out with biological pleasantries where the ambition to improve becomes absent, an abysmal house suffers and low ambition discourages change of mindset a ***** mirror, in it the reflection of a stranger, eyes with no spark and an empty expression frankly, it would appear its visage happier than mine, our faces and our surroundings look the same but the cloud that looms over me cannot be reflected

again, I find myself awake. I’m sure you’re asleep, in his arms, wound tightly and pressing your body against his I’m sure you’re asleep, with his face in your hair wafting in your sweet aroma I’m sure you’re asleep, dreaming of the life you’ll live with the man you chose over me I know you don’t think of me anymore, and when I message you, you say you still love me but those are only words, and words don’t comfort me on these lonely nights words don’t lie next to me in this half empty bed under the slivers of moonlight words aren’t remedies for heartbreak nor antidotes for love sickness If you did love me, then why is it that you reply the next day and apologize because you were so busy with him If you did love me, why did you move in with him, how come I can see his presence in all of the snapchats you send me If you did love me, why did you choose him over me, how come you can have two hearts and I’ve nary a one I’m sure you’re asleep, blissfully unaware that I lay awake thinking of you when you wake up, your first thought will be of him when you wake up, your first sight will be his face when you wake up, your first smile will be for him and when you fall back asleep, you’ll have spent the whole day without even thinking of me once you’ll fall back asleep, and I’ll still be awake, tortured every agonizing moment thinking of you but just because I’m awake, doesn’t mean I’m not tired I wish I could sleep forever

Awake
Tonight the very notion that steals my mental devotion, is that chance play a motion in that commotion concerning whether one receives a demotion or a promotion To be lucky or unlucky! It must feel a little yucky, perhaps a bit sucky, that your ability to forsee outcomes is a tad mucky You might play your hand and find your decision be grand, or life may demand that you be reprimand, where things may not go as planned as you receive a backhand Hell you may just strike gold, where you luck begins to unfold, where your wealth was withhold, it may just so happen you behold your gold increase eightfold! People like to be upset due to all the others they've met who don't seem to sweat and carry no debt, people who fret thinking they deserve a corvette or a big shiny jet that they'll get when they win the grand luck roulette. Still I think that it shows that even if life blows, when the sky fills with crows and your luck seems to have froze, luck is just a fact of life that nobody knows With the good comes the bad, with the happy the sad, with the boring the rad, that luck is quite a fad Just know that whether you're hung out to dry or live in Versailles, whether you hit the bulls-eye or things go awry, have everything money can buy or just barely scrape by, you just can't deny your life is at the mercy of life's invisible die
