Lick my lips
Cradle my face
Gaze into my eyes
And tell me I'm safe
 Mar 2019 Akwana Wa Odera
-JCM-
I wanna be the one
The one that breaks through
With walls so high
Bulldozed love
I’ll knock em down
Break through to you
Build you up
Make you feel new
Never feel blue
If you let me get through to you
The one

-JCM-
Inside my static dreams
Are acid screams

A sphere of broken glass
Spins
On alone a string,

If you pull my cords right,
You'll make me sing

Something whispers deep inside me
"You are the apocalypse."
So I set my pipe beside me
And think "I'm too high for this."
i dread the day you learn
for the first time that
you can't just love all
the darkness in me away

and no matter how much
you care i will still toss
and turn at night and scars
might still appear on my skin

i dread the day you realize
that you can't cure me
and sometimes all you can do
is stand next to me and
hold my hand through fog
pouring out of my ears so black
and thick we can't even see
each other's faces

i dread the days i can't
get out of bed
the days you want to
take me out and all
i can manage is a prettified
shell of myself

i dread the day you learn
that sometimes no matter
how hard i try i still can't
pull myself together

the day you learn that
there isn't an answer
you can give that will
save me from my fears

you aren't the first person
who has tried to love the
darkness inside away
my family and friends
have given it their all
but someday you too will learn
that if love could
cure mental illness
the world would be
a much better place

I took a step back,
and I watched as you cried

because if I took a step forth,
I would have watched as you died

How was I supposed to be aware
That our time was running out.
But really we are born with expiration dates so why am I surprised.
Dry
.
It
is
true,
you are
totally right.
I'm as dry as
a desert, I'm a dead
empty land. I used to be
a  jungle  when  the  clouds
where by my side, and now that
they are gone, my trees, my dreams
they dried and died. Because of this,
nothing grows inside of me, there is
only silence and despair. I can't feel
what  I  write,  I  barely  feel alive
I want to feel human again
Oh god, I really miss
the rain
Es frustrante tener  las palabras pero no el tiempo y luego tener el tiempo y no recordar las palabras
When words fail me
I imagine myself as an artist
expressing all my hopes, fears, dreams
through paint
on canvas
but the end result
would just be chaos
an explosion of color
an endless knot of lines
incomprehensible designs

because chaos is whats in my mind
Do you ever just feel like you like too many people,
that you are going to get judged.
its okay i know the feeling,
i feel the same way.

feelings are hard to understand,
sometimes they drive you mad.
they can hurt you,
drive you mad.
Still adding more as i think
