It can end so quickly, so easily. While we are all trapped in this miserable place, teaching ourselves some valuable and grotesque lesson before we can move on to something better, it is really very simple to escape. But I'm curious. I want to know what happens next. But I don't. I don't want to feel anymore of the terrible feelings associated with this life. I want to feel joy, not vast, deep sorrow. I want to be understood, not misjudged. I need to feel unconditional love, affection, not have to burden someone with wanting to. I know that when I decided this life I was to learn a valuable lesson, but I don't understand why I must feel so much pain.

Remember when you were a little kid running down a big hill? And you weren't really sure every single step that your feet wouldn't just collapse out from under you, leaving you flat on your face, with the smile still permanently glued there, laughing into the soil, inhaling its sweet aroma... but you kept going because, the rush was so much that even IF SO, you would have ran right back to the top and did it again? Remember when the fear was SO worth it because the way down was EXHILIRATING, every terrifying adrenaline-packed second, and the entire time you thought, "This is it, THIS is when I'm gonna fall," but you didn't, and you conquered your power, again and again? And every time you did feel the least bit unstable in your footing, you snapped back to bliss, how much fun you were having, why you were doing it, and what you were getting out of it, and the high was more than the fall anyway, the journey was the destination, because in reality, a mouthful of dirt and grass was a tiny price to pay, to FEEL something outside of yourself? Yeah well, there's someone out there, they're going to make you feel like that, infinitely, without conditions. Wait for them.

your enigma is draped over every part of me as if the perception through your lens a handbook to my darkness prose installed into the mainframe applying solace and wisdom to the futility of existence so how curious it is how suddenly that reality ceases to exist i am adequate when i am not enough i am whole when i am incomplete i am valuable when i am worthless i am complex when i am nothing

walking on a silted riverbed the sun comes up flowers push through [whispering, 'go, go'] the rain falls down in straight sheets of black the colours, [though broken], shine through [purity] [innocence] no harm or foul no tears or pain no hate or waste the white noise rings let's cut it all down from the web in the sky that tells us all how our lives will all end the damage will ensue everything will fall [everything but me & you]

Let not my eyes close for truly resting; I shall not sleep until I return home. Until I am aware of your presence Before me, then I shall cease to exist. In future, come clarity upon me, That it may give me the strength to go on With life and hope, as I wander, endless, Until the day I shall return to love. Though my insides quake with fearful hoping, I shall not falter, for you lie waiting. True to my word I’ll remain undying And honest, until the day our eyes meet. A lips’ sweetest kiss doth long awaits me, A promise to never part as we have.

Homesick, Heartsick
She's so cold. So, so cold. So ******* cold. He's afraid. So, so afraid. So ******* afraid of her. She's his methamphetamine. Shoot, drug, high. So terribly comfortable. He's withdrawn. Sick, sober, low. So horribly real. A shiver down his spine. Chills, fear, shock. It will never end. And she just lays in her box. Her big black box. Fucking black box.

Teardrop
the wind rustled through the leaves the birds didn’t make a sound we just stood there quietly looking down upon the ground and we didn’t know ‘twas you only one of us perceived and they still don’t know ‘twas you still alone, only me i take back all the things i said though i know you don’t mind i sit here all alone in my head only in time as i walk upon the earth with each footstep on the ground i look back at you and say, “now i never will be found” but your heart was always calm and your soul was always pure now you look at me and say [with loving eyes] “now you never can be sure” i take back all the lies in my head though i know you are here i still risked all the words that i’ve said oh, never fear and i feel like a house that’s burned down one nobody wants to buy but i feel that your heart’s in my hands only in time and your soul still speaks words that can’t be repeated for suffers consequence or our hearts will be mistreated and my lies were told and our time has been competed but i’m no longer cold and i love you, i love you i take back all the things i said though i know you’re still here i’m no longer alone in my head i never fear now the wind rustles through the leaves and the birds don’t make a sound we just touch, now, quietly with our feet upon the ground

Awake. That feeling can mean many different things. Sober. Sick. Irrelevant. Alone. Empty. The feelings sometimes accompanied with awake. An emotionally painful sort of awake, where waking up at all is torture. The sort where you go about your business, and continue playing underdog to the system. Where you fabricate the surface of your existence to please the wants and needs of others. The outside. The part of you that everyone interprets. The part that you fight so hard for, but never really matters in the end. The human distinction.
