Withering
Jacob Oct 2013
I don't know what the **** it's called
Or if it's a phobia or not
But I know that everyday that I lay at night
I ******* fall apart
Afraid of my thoughts
And scared of who I am
I'm afraid of being alone
I shake and I quiver again
And I ******* hate who I am
And who I've become
A left behind
Misunderstood son
I seem to not give a **** anymore
Not six feet deep
But laying on my floor
Not by choice
But gravity falls
I'll be sure to destroy mine
Before I ruin everyone else's lives
Cause what comes first
Always seems to die
I've served my life in hell
But never left my home
Sometimes I wish death upon myself
That life would end
And no one would help
They'd stop and stare
But not say a word
Lead in my throat
And blood on my curb
I just sit and wonder why
Everything that I touch dies

Our first words were hey
I greeted with my hand
In response I got a smile
That soft smile I didn't forget
From then to now
Looking at your eyes
And the laughter that we shared
I know I know it was the first time we met
But honestly who cares
And of course I went home that night
smiled at my ceiling
And stared out at the sky
Wondering if she thought
I'm going to like this guy
I mean we shared a glass of wine
Our last words haven't been said yet

I'm so scared of these strings
These strings that you put on me
My life was running smoothly
Your voice sounded soothing
But you never came
No You never came
I
I don't want to live
Live Without you
I can't live without
I can't live without
Without seeing
That smile
I can't breathe right now
I can't breathe right now
You took it away
Jacob Nov 2016
at this point in my life I still haven't figured out my purpose yet. Some of my friends act like they do, but probably don't. Some of my worst flaws is my obsession with escaping reality which usually causes problems, but who can blame me? Nobody will ever understand how difficult it is to live the way I do, everything I try I eventually hate. I haven't been proud of myself since late 2014 for taking a step towards my pursuit of happiness which got me out of the rut I'd call depression and suicidal tendencies. It's been two years without a suicidal thought and honestly life is great, however The difficulty of living for me is truly my anxiety and probably undiagnosed behavioral issues I probably should seek guidance on but, who knows. My anxiety isn't a crutch for me to build excuses for my actions, it's far worse. My anxiety causes me to feel tense constantly and causes my constant paranoia, it makes me skip meals, and eventually ruins just about everything for me. It causes me to constantly complain and it causes me to never truly rest. My anxiety is the devil on my shoulder and I just can't get him to leave. It truly digs the deepest when I am confronted about the issues it causes for me because I too want to change those things about me that it brings out but I can't, and that's what scares me. I can't figure out how to fix these flaws. Most recommend medication and prescriptions for it but prescription dependency is too much of a dark road for me (not that I've ever had an addiction problem). Some people think anxiety is an excuse but it's not. It's the reason I haven't had fingernails since I discovered biting them off helped me not shake. It's the reason why the inside of my cheeks have abrasions since i constantly chew on it when I get nervous. It's the reason why I can't figure out what my purpose is, Because that devil tells me everyday, give up.

This devil
Ball and chain
A key made of addiction
that only works temporarily
I want him to go away
But I'm scared of him
And what he would say
His hands clenched tight around my neck
But left no mark
His tail drew a trail
To lure me in the dark
I wish he'd tell me everything is alright
But he won't
Because if he did
he'd eventually just tell me he's lying.
I want this devil to leave
I want this devil to let me be
I want this devil to give me my thoughts
I want this devil to stop





*Disclaimer: this isn't a cry for help, this isn't woe is me. These are my thoughts.

High hopes for a low life
Jacob Jul 2013
Sometimes I wish I could sit and just be still
I rush into things
That I know that never will
Life has always been filled of pain
And for ages it stings
I feel I'll never be enough for someone
And that ill never amount to nothing

I was 12 years old
and I lost my home
my house was still there
but It didnt feel right
so I searched for my home
everywhere I could
whether it was at the bottom of a bottle
or the end of the filter
I hadnt slept for days
and eaten for more
because I knew those things
would just get in the way
so I stayed up past night and into the morning
looking for my home
but my home is gone
my home is gone
my home is gone
I just wish i knew where it is, so I could get some sleep

I met you
Jacob Mar 2014
I met you once
Once,  one night
You changed thoughts inside my head
And I wished that night we could have
Layed in the bed
And talked a lot
Talked a lot
Of things we wished we would have said
You took away all the bad thoughts
Regardless what happens from now
Till then
Just know you were a present
not a mistake
Everything I said were all the things I
Meant

Hole
Jacob Jul 2013
This hole in my head has finally been filled
From the distraught and all that i've been through
The lies
The betrayal
The dishonor
I missed this feeling for a long time
Its been two years
And I have not felt this way in a long time
I wont mess up
and I wont lose you.
I hope for the best
*and expect the worst

Ive been through hell and back
from start to end
its been three years of endless pain
not physically
but still the same
the fact that you came into my life
without a word to say
you somehow someway
took that pain away
and showed me the way
this could all be in my head
or I could just be insane
I could be falling for you
or complete just losing
but I know that if we were to try
things could work out
or we could crash
burn
and all begin to rot out
but thats a risk I am willing to take
to see if what It could be
could be great...

as I lay awake
i've drank for days
today will mark 11
and its sad to say
that no matter what
its the only time im ever happy
some may think that im giggly and sweet
but when i lay asleep
my mind eats at me
every second every hour every day
it never goes away
so i deal with it in a less harmful way
than to live in a puddle of every self inflicted bruise
clawing as though it gives me life
worshiped as a savior
but hurting like a demon
I know that I will burn

It's close to four
I'm riding shotgun
Thinking of all the things I've said
And all the things i could have done
Miles and miles
I've dreamt nights of things
Maybe the feel of your skin
On the tips of my fingers
The threads of hair
In-between
Your smile
Your eyes
The dreams of the gap
Between your thighs
It's not the prize
That lays inside
It's the thought of being close
So close
To you my dear
Those eyes
Your lips
Take me away
To that place
The bliss of your kiss
The blush on your face
Miles away
You make my heart race

I give up
Jacob Jul 2013
There's no point in trying
I waste my feelings
As you waste your time
I'm not a saint
Nor am I a sculpture
I'm not the guy that anyone has asked for
I'm a terrible character
With not a flat to spare
I just wish one day
That I didn't care
But until it comes
I'd hang myself
Just for fun

"Now get down on your knees on the tracks where you shamed me.
But this time, the dodge ain't going to end so pretty.
Either a bullet or that train steaming just ahead is going to end your days.
You coward little kid."
You sit and you stir, while he waits for his death.
You'll never forgive him, and you never did forget.
He'll never see the sun again.
Make him pay off his debt.
Stand on those tracks, cold steel under your feet, barrel to his temple.
"Your addict mother, you will soon re-meet," you whisper in his ear,
Feel his whole body shake.
In an instant he's got your arm,
He's got your gun, you're held down by his weight.
You feel the cold steel above and below.
You feel your stomach tie in knots as the train whistle blows.
You feel the warm of the blood where the barrel digs in.
From your cheek to your mouth, you taste the sweat and the tin.

You don't cry, you don't beg.
You've been waiting for this.
For the coward, or for death, just to see your wife again.
That train is so close, so loud and so clear.
Your hands stop shaking and it's all that you hear.
Just like father.
"You took him. If this is how it's going to be then I would rather die at the hands of my own family."

You were never in my head
but you were everything
the thoughts that perish through my thickened skull
and my broken soul
you left an imprint
that was stuck in my mind
a waste of time
i thought the words that i said
made more sense in my head
and until that day comes
all shall always dread
the day to come
ill burn in hell
for the thoughts that i've had and the things that i've said
ill burn in hell

---------------------------------------

But I said
id never count the seconds or minutes
my time will come but i can only wait
but cant admit it
that when it comes
ill lay myself down to sleep
I pray the lord my soul to seek
my only choice now is
the gates of heaven or hell

I was once so alive
and the world was so colorful
If I open my eyes will the color return?
I know this hurricane.

Will You calm the storm in me?
I can’t help but think this is only routine.
I bow my head but where is my faith?

Where do my words fall?
Am I the last thing on Your mind?

Ive known you for such a short time
not for years
but one at that
the day I met you
I looked at you for less than a second
before I formed this insane impression
you're another one of those.....
but I was wrong
you're sweet
you're funny
you're genuine
you're beautiful
you're charming
i've been as close as I could get to you
physically and mentally
the day I got to just lay with you
was a day to remember
it took away all my pain
and focused it into something so much better
I can rant about how you're my dream girl
but your not

I've hit rock bottom
I left my heart
Somewhere hidden
Somewhere safe
It's in the keyhole
That opens the door
To your room
The room that I spent less time in
Than more
To be as close to you
I would have attempted to sleep on the floor
Poor poor me

I was 14
I lost my friends
I lost my hope
I lost my dreams
I lost my GOD
I left a town
I met some kids
I thought were my friends
I swallowed life
Mixed with every toxic chemical
I saw the light
But I'm now 20 and completely miserable
But one mistake I never made
I swallowed life instead of death
On that cold cold summer day.

It's been a rough three years.
Tough as nails I've been.
I counted every second that I breathed.
And every minute that I've lived.
All the hours spent on you.
And all the days that I stressed.
But it's been years past two
And a little under three
I've learned that nothing was the same
My past was only meant for me
So I'll untie the knot
And step away from the seat
The seat that left me hear to hang
I've taught my ears to only hear
The truth that came out of me
Until you Came into my life
And forever
Saved me.

I left my path
Six feet long
And six feet In depth
The only bargain I have
Is with grim for death
What way when and where
All I got was loads of stares
But no one cared
They laughed and they pointed
To show that I was the weakest component
I was nothing
I meant no thing
I was lost
But i was free
Cut me down
The rope from a tree.

Something

Something to look forward to.
Someone to see my happiness glisten in her eyes. Someone to hold.
Someone to carry.
Someone to lift their life when their head is heavy. Someone to mend my wounds
and someone to set me free from my demons
and back towards the truth.
She was someone I sought to have
and someone I sought to love.
But now I lay in a bathtub
Drowning in my self inflicted blood.

But from now until then I couldn't say
I miss you more than anything
And that's what's wrong with me

Just a young boy

A free spirit

A lost voice

I find hope in a lot of places
I try to call home
But still find it hard to stay calm
It's so strange that my loneliest night
I had felt so warm

I miss every single word you'd say
I wish I could have stuck around for just one last day
The glimmer and your eyes
And there is nothing like your smile

I swear I lost my thoughts
Every time you spoke with me
I don't mean to seem so struck
But my hearts bigger than my head
Sometimes I think I fall for someone blindly

I feel like somehow some way
You'd Teach me how to move past my problems
3 years
3 years
It's taken for me
To open my eyes
And begin to see
What happened then
Was meant to be

So please for the love of god

Take my hand

And i will handle you with care
Hold you lightly And make sure
To let you know that no matter what
Dear dear dear
Your worth is so much **more

And spend my hottest and coldest of nights
Your lips look sweet
Like a child's delight
Your hips feel right
Your hairs so long
Skins so soft
And your eyes
I've gotten lost
Night and night
I can't help but to be short of breath
Because I've run miles in my dreams
To be close to you my dear

Your smile and those eyes

I woke up one day
In a sudden haze
To realize I stepped back into reality
But the fog had not cleared
From my fragile mind
My dream that I had
Is what I want this time
Then I slept 5 days in a row
To lay down in bed
Processing the same dream
Over and over again
It was the most beautiful thing
A bittersweet fantasy
To dream of lying with you
Was enough to keep my sanity

and not be alone

There's no bad luck
Their just bad days
When you drop to the ground
And you dig your grave

With less to say

And bloated corpse

But it's times like this I've gotten stronger
I miss you dearly
More then I should
Sometimes these feelings take over
And have me thinking
Will she like me because I'm honest
Or will she hate me because I'm crude

Every time I lay awake
Counting the miles
Counting days
I miss you more

That the blue wouldn't take me away
But the pearly eyes
The smile on your face
Was as beautiful as I could see

Would find me and take me away.

And I saw the way your eyes sparkled
I knew that you weren't the girl

She wasn't real
She wasn't who I sought you to be
Because you are so much more
So much more to me
But why?
