No one
You must gaze into 

your pool of fears 

and dive.

If you fall into a well 

of corpses, blood, and bones

sew your carcasses together,

and climb the rotting ladder.

If you fall into a tiny box

with no light and no air

close your eyes and do not breathe

let your soul melt out peacefully.

If you fall into an ocean

and find sharks and no way up

make sure you feed the sharks your limbs

then command them to swim. 

If you're lucky, they will carry you to shore.

If you fall into a pit

of high mountains and clouds

jump off the cliff and reach towards the sky

put your head back and say your goodbyes.

If you fall into a room

with no one but yourself and the silence

scream at the top of your lungs

until someone cuts off your tongue.

If you fall into your own home

and see the one you love most

**** them before someone else does.

Hopefully by then end,

you'll swim out as more than a ghost. 

And you'll know what you need

to do to make the most.
I loved you for the longest time
Way before I knew who you were
Well before I knew what love was
My heart ached and yearned for a love like yours... A love like ours
I craved and begged and ached for it
Along the road I gave up
I accepted whatever scraps life offered
Beggars can't be choosers
And I chose to accept what I got
As the saying goes "we accept the love we think we deserve"
You've shown me I deserve more than I ever knew I was worth
Not to discredit it all
Every bump in the road, every depression, every manic episode put me right in your headlights
But I won't run, I won't jump, I won't budge unless it ends with you in my embrace
My sweetest dreams in human flesh
Bless you for falling for a fool like me

The writers who dare put thoughts to page
which might be loved, hated or worst ignored.
The unrecognized millions of us who dare to
speak our truth against tides and say **** it.
I admire us all and will always say **** it.
Rip our tongues out and we write in blood.
a condition
not a direction
He claimed another life today,
That horrible thing called Death.
He took their beating heart away,
He took their final breath.
You know what hurts,
you’ve been through hell

you know what pains you,
you’ve been through stress

you know what breaks your heart,
you’ve been through grief

you know what darkness is,
you’ve been through depression
but,
you know what happiness should feel like,
that’s why you give it so freely
Break my bones;
cut my throat.
Pull me open,
learn the ropes.

Breath me in;
taste the fear.
Shank my skin;
stand and cheer.

Kick my head;
let me bleed.
Unbolt my veins;
enjoy the read.

Gouge my eyes;
punch my face.
Wrap me up
in your embrace.
Get to know me like I do you; inside and out.
