I am not happy with myself
How can that be so?
Are not myself and I one of the same?
Yet still
I am not happy with myself

Perhaps there are two

Many times I make choices and decisions that don't reflect what my true intentions are. This shows a gap between the self I want to be and the self I am. Hopefully I can someday merge the two.

masks

often i can see the sadness
through the smiles and the jokes

laughter can only drown out so much

WE ARE JUST WATCHING PAINT DRY.

please take my bones and press them to dust. take my heart and crush it in a fist. wrap a cord around my neck and tie me to my grave. give me something to feel that isn't just the longing and waiting and fearing . rename me insolence, save i die gentility; as quiet as the almost we shared.

Skate

Your words glide
Over my
Heart like a
Skater skates
On ice lakes.

Slowly you
Wear me down;
Carve your words
Onto my
Heart with blades.

One time you
Will cut through
And fall in
Through the crack
That you made.

You will try
To climb out,
But you are
Stuck in the
Void with me.

Now you'll know
Just the harm
That a few
Words can cause.
Can't you tell?

Ouch

Everybody's pain
Looks a little different
You know it's grey
But not the shade

disposition

sometimes the words
won't fall in line
disobedient
unruly
others though
they just appear
as if they have always been so
