is this is my life?
Day Apr 2019
Eyes open
Phones broken
Alarms on
Cars warm
Show up
Clock in
Do my work
Get paid
Clock out
Drive home
Feel drained
Close my eyes
Can't express
How I feel
Do I feel?
Sigh
Breathe in
Breathe out

fears
Day Oct 2015
honestly, you need to smile more. you're laugh makes me so happy.
you're courage gives me strength. never let go of that.
i'm afraid if one day you stop smiling,
i'll stop,
being.
i'm in such a mood to write, but i have so little time.

Once I had a friend
Day May 2015
Once I had a friend,
So tall and so fair.
She was beautiful,
and kind.

She was everything,
that I wanted to be.
But I knew that,
I could never.

We were a legendary pair,
Her the kind,beautiful one.
Me the slightly annoying but,
always made you laugh one.

I though we would never part,
I dreamed of being at her wedding.
I knew of all that not only we,
but all that she could do.

But, now, we've drifted.
A chasm separating two forces.
One good force,
And one, not so much.

And it's because of me,
All because of me.
For even the greatest of forces,
has a weak link.

I was that link,
The force of destruction.
And chaos,
And so, so much hate.

For as I said,
She was the amazing one.
And I,..
Not so much.

So I gave up,
I fought it.
I spewed words of hate,
In a moment of weakness.

I hurt her,
I lost her.
And now I'm alone.
Alone with my hate and bitterness.

But, I don't regret it,
For it had to be this way.
For the only way for her to fly,
was for me to get off her wings.

And while I loved her so,
I was bound to hurt her.
So in a way,
Maybe this was better.

Now she can be free,
Free from hurt.
She can fly,
Now that I'm done.

But I so desperately need to tell her,
That I am sorry for it all.
I'm sorry for the moments of hurt,
For the pain that I caused her.

I know that it doesn't make it better,
That it never goes away,
But, maybe this is better,
At least there's no more pain.

And while I say "I'm Sorry.",
I also have a hope,
That maybe someday she can say,
"Once I had a friend"
This is for you. Maybe you someday forgive me. I'm sorry.

Day Oct 2015
i wanted you to be the last thing on my mind,
and i wanted you to be the reason i close my eyes,
but i can't sleep and,
oh god, i wanted to be your high,
but everything i said went unheard,
and everything you saw,
with eyes straight blurred,
became my down fall.
-Eden
How some words can make me think towards you.

if love is weakness
**** it
stab it in the chest and watch it bleed
sit and cry
over hurting hearts
then move on
and get over it
because tomorrow
waking up
next to an empty bottle
will make you forget
it all
this day is not okay

Peanut butter and poison
Day Mar 2022
Under my sink is a grave
Here lies a cockroach

I don’t think he meant to be brave
Surely that’s just what cockroaches do

Hide under sinks
Waiting for the rainfall of crumbs
After the smell of **** fills the room

A last meal
Perhaps he had made a request
Or perhaps he had made a mistake
Unable to see the difference between
Peanut butter and poison

i pushed everything out, to make space
...for you.
because, i thought you deserved more

I thought, that you deserved it all.
but now...
you're all that is there
and you want to leave,
...leaving me...
completely
and entirely
.empty.

dear mom,
Day Oct 2020
I know that you love me,  
the way you love a lost part of yourself.

Sometimes, I wonder
if you see
the being I am becoming  

It’s hard to get good sleep

I know that’s why you pray

I don’t believe in God
but,
who am I to say?
Love,
Yours always

my dog needs more love from me,
i have so much more to write
all the world still left to see
someone waits to hold me at night
calls that i have yet to place
i have kisses yet to give
food i still havent learned to make
i have so much more to live

there are days that i just lie in bed
and wonder what I'm here
but there is still so much i havent said
and the future is so near
i have someone who makes me happy

empty words
and
empty hearts
showing
just how messed up *

we all are
hateful thoughts
and
scarred skin

showing
just how dark
we all are
haunted pasts
and
so many regrets
showing
just how alone
we all are

but as we sit in a circle
and share our broken souls
we take solace in the fact
that we know
just how broken
*we all are

i won't do coke no more baby,
i didn't understand
i thought it would help me maybe
tried to steady my hand

but those little lines of white
are nothing compared
to the little love bites
that i've now bared

i never really understood
that you had such real concern
i said, didn't matter and still would
but now slowly i learn

that its so not ******* worth it
to lose who i love
no line, shot or hit
could ever come above

someone
who
really
matters.
signed,
i wont be that girl.

i wonder how many songs i've had to skip,
because they remind me to much of you,
and how many shirts i've had to burn,
because they smell to much like you,
and people i've push away,
because they remind me to much of you.
i wonder,
if i'll ever see the world,
without seeing to much of you.

but, you found
a place
to call home.

Is my question
intrusive?
Should I just
stay mute?
I can't help
but look over,
while on my
commute.

searching
Day Oct 2017
i stopped looking for comfort
in the arms of another

and instead found peace
in the air brushing my face

solace in the sweet familiar scent
of leaves hitting the ground

traded waiting around
for someone who disappoints

into the beauty abound
and the patience it gives

for while people can provide
behavior often proves fallible

but finding peace
in concepts and ideas

is what will
lead you to inner happiness.

tomorrow i have something to do
seems to be a feeling i have alot
but tomorrow always comes
and there is always something to do
my mom asked me to go to church
but i really cant see a point
she really did tell me life was hard
but its so easy to think you know
when you dont know
i wonder "well what do i know?'
well ****
heres another existential crisis
19 is too young for this
but ****, so is 24
or too old? maybe?

keep wearing the grunge
and visiting the nightclubs
cafes and theaters

Baby here we are at our grave
Time has come
Can’t be saved
At least not now
They say sometimes
It’s not the right time
Tired of the night time
But I don’t know when the sun is coming back
And I cant make you wait
Baby here we are at our grave
It’s my fault
Please just look away
Dont be scared
You wont fall

You left for the ocean
Day Jun 2018
and suddenly im questioning everything
left with a space in my chest
aching \ wondering
where have you taken my heart?
but the people tell me to stay
and do the adult things i'm supposed to
but how can my body be here
my hands still working and my feet still going
while my mind wanders to you
and my thoughts overwhelm me
so different then the reality i see
each day my patience wanes
and every moment i hope to escape

do you see right through me?
Day Jan 2019
i poured out my heart
and counted the contents
a jumble of insecurities
mixed with variety of pleasures
days of happiness stored
next to nights of suffering
feelings and emotions cluttered
next to my organized logic
i tried to find some sense
buried in the chaos
weighed out the burden
that seems too heavy to hold
this little heart of mine
carelessly made in so little time
she worked so hard
to keep me alive
but never learned to
do anything but that
i crafted her to be
strong and safe
locked everything away
prayed she was secure
but now i find myself
with something new
and realized she has no space
set aside for peace
she knows to run
but not to sing
spent too many sleeps
fueled by disappointment
she must be reassembled
to process this peaceful bed
and maybe some beauty
will come from this head
I want to create something meaningful.
