A cold, distorted reality
Reflected through the gaze
Of a glass eye
Horrid screams and twisted dreams
Is all the glass eye sees
A world of pain, of suffering
All meaning fades away
From a cold and lonely kind of world
Reflected, everyday

A child’s heart, torn apart
Fix it up
With Play-Doh
Numb from pain
Miswired brain
Patch it up
With Play-Doh
A myriad of colors
To cover your mistakes with
A selection of cupboards
To tuck away, the empty cup
Of Play-Doh

Past and future

How uncertain they can be

How can I trust when my memories lie to me

Unreliable narrator

My stories mostly true

Am I the same me, that I am to you

A kaleidoscope, looking back into the past

Of happy days and warm sun rays that never seem to last

My memories are fading

One by one by one

And I feel as though

I've forgotten something

I look into my past, for something held so dear

And when I look into the future, my lense clouds up with tears


A memory of happy days

Of sunshine and tree fuzz

In memory im happy

At least, I think i was

A page can only soak so much ink
Before it becomes worthless, unusable
Ink overflowing the compact spaces between light blue lines
Black and hopeless
Cascading aimlessly off the edge of the world
Seeping through every crack
Into every weakness
Rendering all of its existence
Worthless

Your expression
Defiling the connotation of a smile
Rage imprisoned behind pearly white bone
Festering, growing out of control
But when in good company
You must always be polite
And hide such vile things
Behind a smile

Warm rays rolling over morning dew in the lawn
Sweet scented air drifting through my window
A perfect day, a world smiling through my window, waiting for me to take it
I lay back down
The warmth is suffocating
My vision blurs as waves of heat drown out emotion
Just let me sleep I scream at the smiling sun above
Just let me dream, I whimper into my pillow
Just let me feel this PLEASE!
Just be happy, keep smiling
I plead with the ache in my heart
Just let me sleep
And stay happy

A feeling that I crave
A sharp burning pain inside my core
A thousand needles residing in my lungs
Each breath sharper than the last
And every night I wait
And remind myself
I'm alive
