They say pain
makes poetry
so I wondered why
I hadn't been writing
then I remembered
pain is not what I'm feeling
it's what I'm yearning
in all this feeling
of numb

falling in love
or falling to pieces
i cant tell the difference
anymore

I was overcome with pride that I
was very fortunate in life-
of course I was in an
intoxicated state!

the future was supposed to be good
with flying cars
and dogs that talked
instead
we get a world of people killing one another
for things they can't control
towns set on fire because
black lives matter
no one is illegal
gay marriage is a right
women are powerful
and people can't see it
so we walk through fire
to fight for the freedom we were promised ages ago

You think you know me
Because you’ve seen my naked body
But you don’t
Because I refuse to let you see
My naked soul

there's nothing to say
we're like building blocks falling over
I can't stand still

I have nothing to say
I keep my mouth shut

you don't have to ask me again
l trace over my blue veins

don't come over
I don't need you breathing over me

I trust no one
there's no point

you never see the stop sign
keep on going

he taught me the wrong ways to love

his love was always a knife my throat

lost the definition of trust

is this all your love

is this what I need
