It pulls me.
I need to go.
I know you won't understand,
But the world needs me now.

Don't be afraid.
And know, anything that happens,
I will always lo-

And that was the day my world ended.
Aw this is so cute I love it (egotistic rn lol)
Also, it reminds me of when Ronnie died in the Flash *cries*

A place
Where I don't need to hide,
A world that shines so bright
I don't wanna close my eyes
or sleep at night.
For the light is my life
and I know this is right
and I feel for the earth to my soul
to the bowl
of milk
that is left
in the cleft
in the middle of her
last
craft
and her last
laugh.
My baby's last
last laugh.
For she slips away
As fast as she came, she left.
One moment my whole life was there.
In the face of a kid who's age not four.
And yet,
I sit.
Wondering.
Dreaming.
What if?
I can't imagine the pain of losing a child.

Have you ever felt like
all you wanted to do was listen to music
yet your head hurt

and the world would spin and spin
but all you wanted was to stand still

and the sun didn't shine on a day where you wanted to be blinded

And the branch didn't break
when you tried to die from the aches of life
so you had
had to let go.

Have you ever felt like the chocolate is never just right.
Either too milky or too strong, never balanced out.
Have you ever forgot to feed your pet,
remembered, and still layed in bed?

Because I, I,
understand it all
but life just isnt easy like that
for life
doesn't just give you the lemons,
it makes you find them
and work to
make
the lemonade.
*** my head hurts and all these thoughts are spinning through my head, so here's a poem from my random thoughts. Lyrical, ain't it!?

I am laying on the ground
staring up at the ceiling,
nothing left to try for.

I lay in this dark room,
for so long,
trying to get the feeling of feeling nothing.
What some consider death,
I consider heaven.

Then I hear footsteps and the door
opens
and the light floods in
and it's my mom
and she yells "clean your room!"
but all I wanna do is
wipe,
wipe,
wipe myself off of the Earth.
But can I say that? No.
So, I just say "I'm tired."
But she doesn't know what that means.
For I am not tired and want to sleep,
like in the sense of fatigue.
no, no-no
I'm tired of living and life.
And the action of walking,
talking,
and moving.

For what you consider
death,
I consider heaven.
*Cries* why do I have to write such sad things

keep pouring into me
your fears
the shadows that haunt you
your pain
the bags that break your back
pour into me
i am just a vessel
for you to shed your skin
as to pretend to be anew again

but be wary that i’ve sat
with this heaviness for so long
that gunpowder rests in me
i am your gun, ready to load
and if you cut me too close
im bound to explode
It is Just...
... it’s just something about how her sleek black eyebrows meet her glittering brown eyes where her nose begins.
So beautiful...
Do you remember...

When the fields bloomed
And the winds blew

When the birds chirped
And the butterflies floated
Above the daisies

Do you remember...
The sweet redolent fragrance
From the colorful flowers
And her skin

Mingling with the smell of the dirt
And his skin

Do you remember...
The sound of the silent wind
Rushing through the petals
And the soft moan
That chased after her breath

Do you remember...
The beauty of the tired sun
Dipping down below the sky
To hide from the night

And the softness of his chest
On her back as they watched it dip
How they intertwined their fingers in the passion of the song

Do you remember ...
Four pews up
Beyond the long isle
So close but so distant
Closest in thought
Farthest in sight
A flower created by mine
A blossom in print
Full of color, oh so colorful
The buzz i feel
Sweet scented honey
Craving from the cradle
A beauty for a beast?
Beastly beautiful
With radiant love
Rising flowing tide
A river of wide wishes
Far and beyond class
Yeah, Four pews up
Beyond the long isle.
Melanin  Extras Guilt And Nothingness
Love is exaggerated
and
intimacy is over rated.
Oh wait!
Maybe it was the first,
maybe... it was her,
Maybe it's misplaced,
but by gosh! the movies
are definitely wrong.
