18/F here's to being brave
If you could read my mind, You’d see a thousand papers Filled with broken poetries And deadbeat proses Full of woeful verses With mournful pieces Of unfinished stories That are yet to be written And failed to be spoken; If you could read my mind, You’d hear horrible screams And earsplitting weeps From shattered dreams, Kept in a nasty notepad, Scribbled on a bed Of bloodstained words, Ringing in my head. If you could read my mind, You’d see the shadows That lurk within me; You’d hear the bellows, Screeching the words “I’m tired,” “I’m a failure,” “I’m stupid –” I know it sounds stupid, It’s pathetically foolish And seems like ******* If you could read my mind, You’d feel the tears I had ever failed to cry; You’d see the people That make the weak weaker; You’d see the monsters That consume my head; You’d hear the hollers That failed to be freed; You’d see the heart That still bleeds and bleeds. If you could read my mind, You’d see the face I’ve failed to show back then, The face I’ve faked back then. If you could read my mind, You’d see a character I had ever failed to become If you could read my mind, You’d be able to read A book you never wished To touch and read, But sometimes I still wish Someone could read my mind.

all i feel
here i am taking one step at a time not knowing each one is the wrong one but isn't that how we grow? with feelings that resemble smudged mascara and thoughts that feel like a car accident

my own
head's hurting mind's numbing heart's pounding I'm still awake? Why? I thought i died died and went to someplace different someplace where the light is whiter and my eyes glow brighter someplace where I don't have to sin to fit in

still awake
broken promises shattered hearts god's angels with the satan's cards masks of shame stolen happiness scared souls and burned out cigars the sad smiles the empty laughs yes indeed all is well in the world where we are yes indeed all is true and we love who we are

is this how it's supposed to be?
lonely nights city lights empty streets and starstruck sights
