I write because I hate the sound of my voice
My mind sounds better
I can scream
I can yell
I can do the impossible
in my head
My words can be read louder than any spoken word
So just shut up and write
I write because I can't speak
My opinions are usually seen as
minuscule, unorthodox, and pointless
but when I write
I have meaning
I'm attempting to cultivate the perfect group of terms to move an audience I can't see
To show someone a thousand miles away from me that there not alone
I write to express myself
I write to allow my emotions to spew on to digitized pixels on a computer screen
I write to appease my need to let go
I write because I know no one is going to care
I write because it's my life and I do as I please

You’re ******* me off
You’re acting like I’m the only one at fault
Though you play a wonderful victim
Cut the *******

I mean I’ve dated some *******
I’ve made plenty of mistakes,
But don’t act like you haven’t

You’re boyfriend is ******* me off
The fact that you’re that ******* blind
To not realize how toxic
Stupid
Irresponsible
Unappreciative
And just a plain ******* ******* is your loss

If you were in my shoes
You’d be dying to leave too,
But instead you just focus on the fact that I want to leave
You don’t take time to see the full story

You ask me to open up and talk,
But you don’t listen
If he’s around, I’m no longer relevant
I’m just the child who’s around

And to be fair, I’m just starting to know who you are.
You never acted this way around dad.
Then again I guess you were depressed.
I sympathized with you.
I let you spread your wings.

Never thought you would put me in the same position as him…
It’s hard okay
I can’t talk about things as easily as everyone else can
I choke up
So I don’t talk
I like to fester
Then it leads to stories like these pathetic ones.
Another reason why I keep my emails personal

I just find it pretty ******* pathetic that you couldn’t notice that I don’t act like normal teenagers
Or that I don’t talk as much as others
Or that I don’t express myself as much as other
It took you 17 ******* years to figure that out
Now you wanna try and act ****** towards me
So honestly just *******
And honestly it hurt cutting dad out
I was ****** and upset for days
I was legitimately depressed for those fews days
You acted like it was ******* nothing
So yeah I’m ready to get the **** out of here.
I wish I would have left with Noah or anyone really…
Cause right now I feel like the only guy I really loved was noah
He was there for me at the very least
He knew if I wasn’t okay
He doesn’t have much, but he tries.
So anyways Thank You
Thank You Very ******* Much For Giving Me Another Reason To REALIZE My Life Is ******* ****
THANKS FOR GIVING ME ANOTHER REASON TO WANT TO MOVE OUT EVEN MORE
THANKS FOR MAKING ME NOT WANT TO COME TO HOME EVER AGAIN
CAUSE THIS PLACE IS JUST ******* PROBLEMS
YOU’RE A ******* PROBLEM
SOMETIMES I WISH I WAS THAT ONE MISCARRIAGE

Rant over.
This was just a way of taking out temporary anger, everything is better now no need for concern

It was like I had been attached for so long
I didn't know how to let go
Our stability was our drug test
You were my drug
I was your victim
Everyday, Mornings, Afternoons, and Nights

If I didn't get my fix I'd panic
My anxiety would kick in

Palms sweating
Heart racing
Breathes shortening

Paranoia at it's finest
"You're temporary"
"You need it, it doesn't need you"
"You're replaceable"

It gave me a high
A high that covered any feelings from the past
I'd be completely invested in it
A warm memory of nights forgotten

Either way I ignored the dangers for my own pleasures
It was still a drug
Still hazardous
Still tempting

It covered up my scars
My deep wounds of narcotics before
I played it off

Deep down the withdrawal was driving me insane
To nervous ticks
Degrading myself
To finally moving on

You found a new customer  
And I finally quit

3:51 A.M.
Still awake
Contemplating
Everything happened so quick
Yet slow at the same time
It’s like I’m still dreaming
I’ll wake up
Eventually
Did I dream up the whole day?
Did I really go out at night
who knows where just to make sure
my friend comes home safe?
Did I really love him?
Did I really see you?
Walking out the door way
Off to the car
Not knowing I was so close
I could just yell your name
I could have had your attention
You could have been mine again
But I didn’t
I was stunned
I hadn’t heard from you in so long
I forgot what you sounded like
I miss your voicemail
Sometime I want to call it when I know you’re asleep
So I can hear your voice
So I can remember
Little memories pop up here and there
I can still smell the smoke from our bonfires
I can still smell the exhaust from your truck
I can still smell the pigs’ ****
I can still smell your coffee in the mornings even though now you sit with no one
I don’t know if you still feel alone….
You were never alone then
You always had me
But you said you were alone
Maybe you were crazy
Maybe you didn’t want to **** her
Maybe I’m crazy
Maybe this is just some twisted fantasy and I’m still sound asleep waiting to get up for another day of school
But that can’t be my reality, right?
You said you were alone so much I believed it
Shocking thing was
You were the one I always had
No matter what I thought you would always have me
I guess I was wrong
Eventually I stopped visiting
I guess that was my fault
Eventually I stopped calling
I guess that was my fault
Eventually I stopped any form of contact with you
That was my fault
I never wanted to let you go
I never planned for it
I did anyways
Now I stay up
4:32 A.M.
Contemplating
Thinking
Did you see me?
Did you recognize me?
Are you having the same feeling right now?
Are you wondering where your little girl went?
Are you wondering why she changed so much that she doesn’t recognize who she is anymore?
Or did you just grab your stuff and go?
Did you even notice me, or did you just hurry up before you were late to work?
I’m sorry this is my fault
I miss you..
Happy Late Father’s Day ...

I like to be like the ocean.  
Its free
Its endless
Its unpredictable
Its scary
It moves in its own rhythm
It has secrets

My hair reminds me of the ocean
First a bright blue and blonde
Its shows the shoreline and the shallow sand bar

As the days go by I make my hair darker
I like to go deeper even though I can’t swim
I live to drown myself in my thoughts

I still keep quiet disregarding how others see me
I don’t smile on the inside

Every once in awhile
I go to the surface
For a breath of air before I dive deeper
Realizing I suffocate on the surface
Loved one smothering me as I ascend to the surface

The Anxiety
The Questions
The Love

It’s not for me
It’s too much

My solitude
My peace
My tranquility

That’s me

The loud crash of waves on the surface sound different

— The End —
