The ticking of the clock leaves me on edge Another second wasted, trapped inside these bare walls I am getting better, am I? I no longer desire the rush in my veins I desire, no, I crave fresh oxygen to the brain I can't breathe, I can't breathe These walls are closing in This is the price I pay for the ultimate sin I've fallen ill from my own sickness My candle is burning at both ends I never thought I would have to bring myself to this place again But here I am now And here you are not I asked to to remember me, and you almost forgot

Untitled, Unfinished, and Unedited.
I have a trinket I hold the world in my palms And in the world i hold a woman who owns a voice that calms This trinket is not magic It's a godsend in disguise And it harbors the words of a woman With bright blue sky eyes Now the distance is quite an issue But it won't hold our demise There are many miles ahead And time is on our side So I'll just lay here awake Chatting away with someone in which i confide And maybe one day I'll get a package Marked precious cargo with you wrapped up inside

Trinket
Though there have been harsh words in the past i miss you more than id like to admit. I no longer feel the chains that bound me to your anchor but like any other choice ive made here i am filled with regret. Regret for what though? Being used as a convenience? I honestly cant believe it took me this long to see this. Thats love though, shining a light so bright in your eyes you cant see whats on the inside. Im sincerely grateful we didn't end up as one because the things you do to those who you "love" would shatter my perception on who you actually are. You hide behind the beauty and tears. Running from your fears while tripping your loved ones hoping itll take them instead. Ive never quite known someone like you and i hope i dont again. I wish nothing but the best for you "friend."

Convenience
The future of warfare Technology is different but the mentality is the same Human beings will continue to be slain But people will do anything to claim That we need them Because profit is the benefit of fear We’re told to fear those “terrorists” When truthfully that word doesn’t mean **** They’re different from us, sure But that doesn’t give us the ******* right to Claim that every single one of them is a murderer Aiming these weapons at them just makes us what we’re trying to claim They are Politicians will tell you it’s just protecting our “security” When all it does in reality is make us less safe They see us the way we see them This is a big problem and this is why war exists Assumptions, stereotypes, and ******** Made to sound pretty and patriotic by militaristic dipshits Isn’t it time we learn that the line between enemy and fellow citizen Is one that doesn’t really exist The only difference between them and US Is location and the names on a map Their culture or religion doesn’t make a difference None of it gives us a right to point a drone at them and go “zap” Let’s start a conversation Before we have another useless war They’re just as human as we are

Drones
I HEARD SOMEWHERE THAT THE LIFESPAN OF BUTTERFLIES IS ONLY A COUPLE OF MONTHS BUT IT'S BEEN ALMOST 7 AND I'M PRETTY SURE THE ONES RESIDING IN MY STOMACH ARE YET TO PASS THEIR STAGES OF YOUTH

you're the best thing in my life
My life Is a constant cycle Of chasing sleep And getting tripped The moment I finally Catch up.

Insomnia.
I feel so pathetic at times like this Eyes closed but mind wide open into the sharpened abyss I see you passionately making love to another man I see a silver engraved dagger shaking in my hands I creep quietly through the room Both of you know not of my existence As you layed there before me The knife glides right through him and into you You don't even gasp its like you knew the fortune before the torment its like i could understand what our clothes on the floor meant i couldn't bare to see the sight i saw As the words seep out through the wounds just underneath your jaw There couldn't be any witnesses around to see Me murderer the man i used to be

Out of Body
If only I knew the price I'd pay Living the same cycle day by day The blood in my veins would soon run cold The spark in my heart would abandon my soul The comfort of my skin would wear away The color of my city would turn to gray The blood in my head would drain from my nose Spending dime after dime left me out in the cold If only I knew that I just had to try Doses became higher And so did I Till I finally screamed, threw myself on the floor I punched I kicked Couldn't take it anymore Dose after dose I couldn't see from my eyes I laid on my back and looked up at the sky If only I knew it was all part of the ride Just a bunch of ****** up kids With bloodshot eyes Chasing our drinks instead of the sun Only God knows the battle I've won.
