Schizo (10w)

It

help

if. . .

I could tell,

(So what. I cheated, but Id like to call it more of a loophole)

Human v2.0
Jeremy Bean Apr 2018
Set me up for failure please
Sell me into slavery
keep practicing apathy
as a cog inside of the machine

Bombard me with redundancy
imprint me with this disease
teach me only of dependency
keep your eyes fixed upon the screen

Leave your mind idling
stay blind to everything you see
be deaf to what you are hearing
life is made for forsaking

Influence my way of thinking
following robotic dreams
keep the lemming mentality
pray to non responsive deities

Do not dare to break the mold
stay calculative and cold
unless you wish to face the scold
by those doing what theyre told

The Long Walk
Jeremy Bean Mar 2017
Pretending not to care
seems to be
the easiest route
for those with bigger hearts.
Although,
you come to find
as you walk that road
the pitfalls are much more dangerous.

Still Here
Jeremy Bean Jul 2014
Fate has its ways with you
I cant deny
Where some have dumb luck
others easily die

You could **** an elephant
with all that Ive done
Some summon death
only to become numb

I believe in destiny
it gave me the strength
to accept easily
the throes thrown my way

Unrequited
Jeremy Bean Jun 2014
I tire of this twisted game
where everything remains unchanged
With all I do just to get through to you

All the things you used to say
that your actions did not portray
and like a fool, I averted my gaze

No longer love your heartbreak
No longer love this mistake

Its time to make new memories
instead of dwelling within these

Even though you told me it was real

No longer love the heartache
or the way you forsake
all the love I gave away
without return, without display

A molten mess,
     this flesh once made of steel.

Those awake
and those asleep
at battle with conflicting dreams
Jeremy Bean May 2014
I knew I was far from perfect
  as were you
to everyone else
  when it came to
US
  I can not say
you were the girl of my dreams
  it would be an injustice to you
considering you surpassed
what I could imagine,
but I suppose despite
what we consider perfection
whatever our conception of it might be
remains to be imaginary

The Dead Part of Me
Jeremy Bean May 2014
Every time I swallowed my pride
I let down my guard
I exposed myself
all for one person
it killed me inside a little more
yet it all was intensely perfect
your presence
that ran electric current
through every tip of my being
the taste of you
forever on the tip of my tongue
returning me
to the nape of your neck
all these words spoke
that can be used against me
remain worth the sacrifice

To the part of me that dies

Insecurity
Jeremy Bean Apr 2018
My heart hurts
and Im not sure whats worse
the pain that remains
or that I disperse
I try not to spread
that which is in my head
should I try to ignore
or share the ache instead?
Who would that make?
Is that me?
Why can I not shake
this discrepancy.
I hide with a smile
questioning the worthwhile
I feel like a fake
just an unsure child
Have I known
who I am?
Whats left to be shown
should I give a ****?
I have built a wall
and Im still adding bricks
wondering if this all
I should just submit

Odd Man Out
Jeremy Bean Aug 2013
Perhaps I went too far
I have no excuse
nor any regret
for it led me to the truth
If I never took that step
that went beyond the line
I would still be left
with all the empty minds.

The Biggest Con
Jeremy Bean Sep 2014
You were
the biggest con
I ever pulled
but something happened
and in between that time
we were too deep in the charade
for me to be honest
and believable
at the same time
and I played into your score
teasingly
just to see who was better
two thieves
in love
and afraid
of each others powers
even though
we saw it all
from the beginning.

All that attracts us,
             repels us.
my only edge. .
is that I've given up the game.

Familiar
Jeremy Bean Mar 2014
I see your shadows without light
I hear the echo of your whispers
I know what you dream at night
and what makes them occur
I know the star you wish upon
and what those dreams are
I know all your imperfections
and every single scar
I know the fears that you face
and which ones give you chase
I know the truths that you embrace
and the ones that you deter
I know that which you reject
and that which you prefer


I know you
you know me
I am you
you are me

Mike.
Jeremy Bean Aug 2014
Mike works at my liquor store down the street
I see him almost every day
in my stops on the way home from the shop
He has basically known me for most my life
back when I was buying sodas and candy
instead of cigarettes, and alcohol.
I can basically walk in and say "A fifth and a pack"
and he grabs my Crown Royal
and my Newports
I might as well just use "The Usual."
but he is always polite enough to ask
"What are we doing today Jeremy?"
knowing that I switch it up time to time
I've come to realize the routine
all too well
and just wish sodas and candy
still did it for me.

Not Enough
Jeremy Bean Sep 2021
Love is not enough
Love, is, not, enough
this is not a bluff
this flame in which you snuffed

Love is not enough
Love, is, not, enough
just too much to rough
I have broken its cuffs

Love is not enough
Love, is, not, enough
this final rebuff
cuts at every tuft

Out of Touch
Jeremy Bean Jun 2014
I only envision you in my mind
  because I cant see you with my eyes
I'm only with you in my dreams
   because its not a reality
I only hold you in my heart
  for our reach is just too far apart
Maybe I should let it go
  these memories become my throes

   Yet still they seem to make me whole.
just as they did so long ago
