The Willow Tree
Skyler M Feb 2018
Close your eyes and wait for stars to reveal their stories in the darkness under the large willow tree,
And heaven forbid you start to cry,
but from your eyelids ink will seep into the roots of the tree,
Giving life to the old willow tree.

Questioning why you laid here,
Underneath the spaceships in the sky,
When you could be running through the constellations,
and faulty paradises of what your mind says is real.

Close your eyes and trip along the small dipper,
To find your own head and home,
Leaving the tall willow tree to rot away in peace,
Spaceships crash and you're alone again.
Skyler M Aug 2021
Sideways for the attention,
Lengthwise for the results,
Thank you Marilyn Manson,
I'll remember that for next time.

You're going to wish and beg,
That you could turn back time,
Cause I'll be dead and gone,
And you'll be left to weep.

Look at all these notes,
Of nights passed on,
Maybe I wasn't numb enough,
Or my blade sharp enough.

You're going to wish and beg,
That you could turn back time,
Cause I'll be dead and gone,
And you'll be left to weep.

You told me that I,
Was doing it to pretend,
To manipulate and lie,
So that I could get attention,
Well I'll turn my blade,
And then you'll understand.

You're going to wish and beg,
That you could turn back time,
Cause I'll be dead and gone,
And you'll be left to weep.

Leftover screws,
Congregate at pews,
Mourn for my death,
I sliced up my own neck,
Bleeding out on the floor,
I hope you open the door.

Disgrace to A Grace
Skyler M Feb 2019
I'm not ready to comply,
Cause I don't know if I can rely,
Or take any side,
Between yours and mine,
Mine takes the most time,
To pretend that I'll be fine.

To be a disgrace,
To my lovely saving grace,
Two sided place becomes my face,
Oh, I could apologize but to entice,
I must hold you high above the fights.

People would be shocked to know,
How I don't find you a foe,
But more so a friend,
I'll take that notion.

To be a disgrace,
To my lovely saving grace,
Two sided place becomes my face,
Oh, I could apologize but to entice,
I must hold you high above the fights.

Mortality
Skyler M Jun 2022
You’re right, I haven’t got a clue,
I’m chinaware and easy to abuse,
Deaf to every new break through,
Your worldview needs a peer review.

Beaten tender,
Return to sender,
Frail transgender,
On a ******.

You're right, I won't be here for long,
I'm moving on and feeling headstrong,
Sure I'll play along but I won't sing your song,
Without you, I've been redrawn, ripped up my lawn.

Beaten tender,
Return to sender,
Frail transgender,
On a ******.

Rainfall In Hometown
Skyler M Sep 2018
Rain falls so often where I stay to live,
So I walk outside and talk to the sky,
Contriving my words so that I might be lying,
To myself and the dark grey sky beyond.

Sometimes I forget that towns like mine bring creatures into our hears,
Rainfall in Hometown,
Bringing about ghouls I could never face,
And the homes that turn into beasts to roam every single night.

Then I lay down on the wet grass and pick at the greens,
In worry, in thought, so distraught, that I'm in this disarray,
Distraught, that I taught the thoughts to flock to death and distress,
My hands are cold and wet with raindrops that I like to call teardrops,
I talk to myself and the dark grey sky beyond,

Sometimes I forget that towns like mine bring creatures into our hears,
Rainfall in Hometown,
Bringing about ghouls I could never face,
And the homes that turn into beasts that roam every single night.


Drops falling into my eyes so that I can see a little clearer the next day,
The only problem is that colors shift and warp through my view,
Capturing my pupil's time,
Grasping onto the grass as I start sinking into the rainbow raindrops,
Contrasting colors faded my killjoy, rebel heart.

Terrifying, melding, my world's colliding,
I'm a long lost son, waiting for the pale sky to part it's clouds,
So that maybe I can find the answer or the meaning to my life,
Opening my chest,
I talk to myself and the dark grey sky beyond.

Internet Baby
Skyler M Jul 2021
I am an internet baby,
Just started walking,
I got on mom's laptop,
Now I'm a grown up!

***** men on the internet,
Send me their photos,
And I send them mine,
Now I'm traumatized!

I am an internet baby,
Just started a new job,
As a *** worker,
I don't make any money though,
Uh oh!

***** men on the internet,
Send me their photos,
And I send them mine,
Now I'm traumatized!

Hey little me,
It wasn't your fault,
You were tricked,
In the most horrible way of all.

And to every ******* man,
Who told me,
That I was mature:

I'll light them on fire,
Every nerve end alight,
Watch them scream in pain,
Watch them in delight,
Cause they're all dead,
Everything I've done,
Is never to be seen,
By the light of day...

Two Lines and a Half
Skyler M Nov 2018
Follow me until you reach my breaking point,
The point I've been at since he began,
What could possibly be worse than losing to myself?
I can't answer that question with the state that I'm in, the place that I'm in,
Do I want to heal is a question again I ask myself,
Keep promising that I do but I'm still stuck,
Stuck with the person I praised and named.

In between two lines and a half,
I'm dividing myself into halves,
And then into quarters,
Letting a poison point blend into my soul,
Carving in words of passion to drive my parts to passionate purpose that only I create.

For only I have the key to my mind,
But it's the lock I must find,
I could go in circles until I never find it,
The need to diverge,
Not to separate myself but to clean up the floor,
It's the only way I understand how to control.

Confession
Skyler M Jan 2019
I confessed to the stuffed animal at the end of my bed,
That daddy doesn't come around,
That all the friends I gained I lost,
And the only one I have left is breaking me down,
Is this what life is?
Is this what He designed me for?

I'm just a kid,
And I already hate the world,
I'm just a kid,
And I hate my own reflection,
I'm just a kid,
Just a kid.

I confessed to the characters on the paper,
That the seasons grow lonelier,
That my name doesn't fit my brain,
And that I need someone to listen to me,
I build my life only to watch it crumble down,
I've learned that life is a bully on the playground,
Kicking over my sand castles and getting sand in my teeth.

I'm just a kid,
And I'm already lost all hope,
I'm just a kid,
And I already stopped believing in Him,
I'm just a kid,
Just a kid.

I confessed to my therapist in the chair,
That I'm sicker than I've ever been,
My flesh has been eroding away in chunks,
Leaving me with just a skeleton,
That my weeks feel like years,
And that the sun is always setting,
Leaving me on the brink of exhaling.

breathe.

breathe.

breathe.

And. Here in the dark I will park,
In my spot where I taught,
All my thoughts to flock,
Inside of my head when I'm in my bed,
But when the sun goes I'm not done,
For it's the night that brings me to fight,
Cause I'm never letting go before I have something to show,
Something to show that I've been through a war, Call fore!
My car's on fire so my time is dire,
Heart getting harder with each time I get farther,
From the state of mind that kept me bind,
To a wall to a constant fall,
Of which takes away the best of a day,
Not anymore, I promise, not anymore.

Right Brain
Skyler M Oct 2017
I am made up of my right brain,
The creativity won't stop pouring out,
And it keeps me up at night.

Cause I don't have the skill,
To pull off all the antics,
That I dream to be.

So I keep myself under control,
I don't think about anything but the voices in my head,
Never acknowledge that they might be right,
Cause it just might get me killed.

Suicide Hounds
Skyler M Sep 2021
There's a call coming through,
It's reflecting off of the drops of dew,
Telling me it's right time for a cleaning crew,
Cause my head is best killed and grown anew.

*******, label me a night owl,
Cause these bedtime blues are fowl,
The suicide hounds are on the prowl,
And I'm,
Oh ****,
Yes I'm,
In their line of sight.

The phone's ringing off of the ******* hook,
Warning me, sending a cautionary tale, well look-
In my closet, there's a man, he has a silly book,
The stories all seem to spell my demise, he's a crook!

*******, label me a night owl,
Cause these bedtime blues are fowl,
The suicide hounds are on the prowl,
And I'm,
Oh ****,
Yes I'm,
In their line of sight.

Lock up the weapons,
Or else I'll be preppin',
At midnight I might be steppin',
To the closet where I met him,
And I'll pray to Mister Hades,
To give me a fate better than it.

*******, label me a night owl,
Cause these bedtime blues are fowl,
The suicide hounds are on the prowl,
And I'm,
Oh ****,
Yes I'm,
In their line of sight.

Sight
Skyler M Oct 2017
Take a look,
what do you see?
I'm looking at the same painting as you are.
Yet, all you can deduce is the blood on her hands,
not the look on her face,
not the man on the ground.
Which in his hands is a silver, glimmering knife.

Legal
Skyler M Apr 2021
Sometimes I imagine you listen when I speak,
Instead of eyeing me up like candy,
And when you couldn't have me anymore,
You flayed my flesh and laid it out on the porch.

Do I look young?
Do I look fresh?
Am I a lamb who's legal to touch?
Do I look dumb?
Do I look plush?
Am I a lamb who's legal to touch?

Now I go to meet someone new,
But all I can hear is this fear,
That they'll have me only because,
I've got these wide, large eyes,
With a slim, slender physique.
idk if anyone else has this fear but, it's kinda haunted me for a while now.

Friend
Skyler M Jan 2018
There's the smile on your face,
It keeps me here on this earth,
Don't underestimate your life,
When it keeps me alive.

I think I know where I'd be,
Without you in my life,
I think I know who I'd be,
Without you keeping me here.

You ask yourself all these questions,
About the skin you're in,
friend, look at me,
don't you dare,
Take your life away from me.

I think I know where I'd be,
Without you in my life,
I think I know who I'd be,
Without you keeping me here.

Kill Your Mind
Skyler M Oct 2017
It's dream day!
A Sunday before the **** your mind holiday,
A time when the sun doesn't shine no rays,
Faith is a march for worry and pain,
It's the smallest grain,
In all the grains of sand.

When the lights flashed red,
I was stuck inside my bed,
The sheets were turning black and blue,
Guessing I can't do Jack-squat.

If you understand what I'm going though,
Raise your arms and hail Mary,
I pray to nothing above,
I still pray that I'll be saved.

Although I cannot believe,
I really want it to be true,
That I can repent for all the sins,
And pray to God,
Come save my soul.

Maybe, I'd be a better person,
Or just so maybe I'd be losing my mind.

Dragging Behind
Skyler M Jul 2022
You’re dragging behind
Dragging behind,
Your kids left you behind,
Slagging behind

Maybe if you were more kind,
The eldest wouldn't have left you behind,
Maybe if you gave him peace of mind,
The middle wouldn't have left you behind,
Maybe if you never commented on her outline,
The youngest wouldn't have left you behind.

You’re dragging behind
Dragging behind,
Your kids left you behind,
Slacking behind as you whine.

In time,
I know that you will find,
Karma loves to feast on the rind,
Of those who are purposefully purblind.

same
Skyler M Dec 2018
Down falls our heads and hands,
Through alternate realities,
While pretending to be okay,
Everything just begins to fall apart here.

Same breathing tone,
Same foreground noise,
Same backyard burial,
Same hounded home.

Kitchen sink washes away my discolored eyes,
The doubt that I'd left inside of them,
Grind them up into paint,
To smear over the walls of my bedroom.

Same breathing tone,
Same foreground noise,
Same backyard burial,
Same hounded home.

At My Door
Skyler M Nov 2020
I'm so tired of all these ghouls at my door,
Trying to spin me around, my guts up in knots,
So then a week later I'll go to emergency care,
I don't wanna grow old,
But I don't wanna fear life anymore.

Delivery Driver is the game today,
I hope I'll keep it for tomorrow's sake,
Don't you wimp out on me dear ghouls,
Causr I'm sick of forcing you away.

I think its time I open my door,
Maybe let them in to talk it out,
And spare myself the grief of running out.

I don't wanna grow old,
But I dont wanna fear growing up anymore.

Metaphoric Colors
Skyler M Mar 2019
Green and yellow,
What the hell does it mean,
When it hazes over my eyes,
Like a lazy autumn evening,
I keep being called lazy,
And I am, God knows I am.

"Just stop with these colors,
They aren't very good metaphors,
Cause nobody knows what you mean,
And you're just a stupid kid,
Walking a lonesome road,
All your friends will die one day,
But not before you do."

There goes that voice in my cranium,
Spewing and brewing those maddening sentences,
I know for a fact that It's already pact,
I've got a future,
I just need some time to suture,
This broken underlying voice,
He doesn't know that he has a choice,
To be happy or sad,
It's been sad for all this time,
I'm urging him on to make the decision for happiness.

Let's Get Along

Trying to hard,
Looking to the future,
Never gonna make it but I hope yet,
I can hope,
Filling my dreams up to the seams,
Can you believe I'm still alive?
I'm just wondering tonight,
If you're alright.
Glancing out of the window,
Your eyes glazed over,
Speaking of bones and death thrones,
Please don't ever leave me without warning,
Always afraid you're gone every morning.

Torrents of Tides
Skyler M Sep 2018
Hurry up, let's get outside.
The tide's gonna come raining down,
We're gonna become something cooler than any adult could ever see,
Your eyes are so excited and bright,
Mine are ready to fly out to see the world.

They warn us of the tide every day,
But we don't care,
We'll never care.

Stronger and braver than anything that has existed,
Shouting our names from the highest mountain top,
Burrow into the rain and find ourselves a home,
You ready for an adventure? Cause I am.

They've warned us again and again,
But we don't care,
We don't want to.

Overtime, the rain that patters against our feet,
Becomes the storm they warned us of,
Scared and afraid, we continue on,
Your eyes are afraid,
My soul is breaking.

Coursing rivers of water in between tall buildings,
Avoiding their sweeping force with all our might,
And the fact is that we might not be so mighty anymore,
We both hate this world now.

They warned and it came,
It's flooded our homes,
I'm searching for you.
Where did you go?
We all wish we could be young children again.

With You in my Youth
Skyler M Dec 2018
In the nighttime,
He spells 'forever' on my favorite sweater,
Stealing it for the next day,
His eyes are soft in the nightlights that shine so bright,
Stars don't move when I remember we could die tonight,
But that doesn't matter when you're by my side.
Bring the sound of your heart beating to my hands,
Let me sign my way through words of distrust.

With you in my youth,
I know,
I'm not alone forever,
Though we may never last the years across time and growth,
I know,
I'm not alone in these dangerous nights,
So stay with me,
For now,
You're what makes my heart beat through laughter,
For now,
Be the one that keeps me alive,
While I learn to depend on myself as well.

In the nighttime,
I'm watching the sky close it's eyes on me,
I'm thankful though, that yours are still open for me,
Hold the bag away from my face,
It contains the pessimistic thoughts of falling apart and losing my head.

With you in my youth,
I know,
I'm not alone forever,
Though we may never last the years across time and growth,
I know,

Good men don't fall so hard, so fast,
But I can't resist so guess I'm a fool,
I've done bad things to myself,
I don't think you'd care to deal with me,
My bones are weak and afraid,
Cause I know if I say a word.

You'll turn away,
Find another place,
To build your home,
I'll be alone.

Look what I've done to my voice,
It's broken beyond repair,
The only thing that speaks now,
Is my heart,
So please,
Understand what I mean,
When I say.

You'll turn away,
Find another place,
To build your home,
I'll be alone.

Hear what I've done to the angel on my shoulder,
His wings are broken and tattered,
The only thing I hear,
Is the demon speaking clearly,
I know instantly that I've lost my heart,
To you.

You'll turn away,
Find another place,
To build your home,
And I'll be alone.

The Passenger
Skyler M Jan 2018
I need everyone to know,
That I cannot survive this,
Life.
The way I bid my life,
On your beating pulse,
Tears me up inside.
Then some passenger gets inside my car,
But I can't see the face they made,
So I crack open the window,
Letting my soul get swept away.

Scream,
I need,
Somebody to save me.
But the car drives away,
The passenger stole my car.
I'm left in the rain,
My soul trapped in the wind.
I sink to the ground,
My frame continues to fight,
But my mind has given up.

But the shock from the flock,
Flies into my windshield,
So I'm stuck inside my hands,
My pen is melting away.
I'm so afraid.
Of what you really meant to say.

Scream,
I need,
Somebody to save me.
But the car drives away,
The passenger stole my car.
I'm left in the rain,
My soul trapped in the wind.
I sink to the ground,
My frame continues to fight,
But my mind has given up.

In the watercolor painting you made out to me,
Crashing into a beautiful sunset,
I won't ever let the sun go down on me.

The brushes in your hand are flawed,
But your painting were always divine,
Teach me again, my dear, how to paint a cloudy day.

In the storm you created in yourself,
You gave me a weathered key,
I realized that the rain was gone,
I'm gonna stay alive,
And I think that it's right that I say it now.

The brushes in your hand are flawed,
But your paintings were always divine,
Teach me again, my dear, how to paint a cloudy day.

Skyscrapers and Taxi Cabs

Standing atop this dangerous skyscraper,
I threaten myself by taking another terrifying step towards the edge,
My eyes won't focus on the ground below,
Only the sky above,
As I cry holy tears I see,
A beautiful plain Taxi Cab fall to my feet,
I know where it will take me,
So I hop inside before my feet reach the ledge.

These headlights soon become too dark for me to stay,
So I jump out into the stars,
They fly by as I drop,
My hands are wrapped in black ink,
Representing my creative input onto paper,
The beautifully plain Taxi Cab attempts to save me,
It misses and I'm bursting with pride.

Take that thought and splatter it across the canvass, shoot the paper with your make believe gun. Ink the paper with your suicide heaven, you’ve got something worth living for and it’s sitting inside your room. It’s you.

And all the kids called out,
Somebody save me,
I’m so worthless,
I need answers,
**** this God above,
I’m not meant to be alive.

Tell your demons that the music in your ears will overpower their beliefs, now dance to the sound of your beating heart, celebrate that sound. Don’t ever let it go.

The smoke infiltrates my lungs,
Stealing all of the air I had,
Using me as means to breathe,
Mother nature's thief who's holding a grudge.

Those who hate me,
All reside in this town,
I see their flags everywhere,
And I see every way I could die.

I'll write a formal letter,
To the smoke and hope to the Gods,
That it'll carry me far, far, far away.

Through alleyways and empty malls,
I'm not lost, you're all just losing your minds,
I'm strangled by denial and a yearning to be free,
That's all I would wish for if I saw a shooting star,
Except all this smoke screens me from the stars,
And the meteors that fly through.

I'll write a formal letter,
To the smoke and hope to the Gods,
That it'll carry me far, far, far away.

This city,
Is a prison,
Alcatraz island,
As a town,
For all the richest,
The *******, and the bigots,
To move in,
And tear down,
What we just began to build.

Own Up

You work hard
To make this house a home
Then turn around
And break all my bones.

Come down through the mountain range,
Hop off of your high horse, he's been smoking,
You've been gloating and bloating,
Telling fables of how our house is blazing,
A nuclear family who's your pride,
Cause we are sticking by your side,
Glued-tight at the seams, turn on the beams,
The glare will blind our closest,
Is it worth it to not disclose it?

You work hard,
To give this house some gloom,
You don't care to see the children bloom,
Cause nothings worth losing your little kids,
You own us. You own our things, You own our love.
You own our home, You own our food.
Would you ever own up?

Steadfast Chase

It would be nice to,
Have a better excuse,
To not get up and move,
Cause I'm stuck to the floor.

If I could break this steadfast chase,
For a better life that doesn't haste,
Then, maybe I wouldn't feel like a waste,
Now, maybe I wouldn't take up space.

Ill break all my bones,
Cause I'm tired of endless drones,
Calling me up from the phone,
I'm broken, I can hear it in their tones.

All the way from death's ledge,

But I can't see you here so I leave without your brand,
I'm okay with living alone, I'm okay without answers,
Then there's nights when I need your touch on my shoulder,
Cause I slowly lose myself in my own winding head.

Come on down, hear me out,
It’s a good day if you’re not around,
I’m not heaven bound, never to be found,
So come on down and break the whole town.

See how I take and take and take,
Watch yourself begin to deteriorate, ate, ate
Begin to break down and hate, hate, hate
Everything that you ever make, make, make.

So blame, blame, blame me,
For who you've become,
Instead of where you're from,
And what you have done,
So blame, blame, blame me.

Unless I've got something to give them?
A confusing creature made of something?
But maybe it's just my head?
Never-mind, nothing.

Problem is, I'm tired of being rushed in,
I'm not ready for the consequences,
I've been told all I gotta do is tough it,
Pull my big boy ******* up and dive in.

The world wasn't built for my kind,
Hope you know they're all friends of mine,
Far and few between from the other side,
Don't know how to help them thrive, on the outside.

Your eyes are my only god.

I wanna hold you till I break my arms,
I gotta find out,
If what I'm feeling isn't fantasy,
Or my mind trying to cope with breaking off the poison.

Your eyes are my only god.

The idea of having you by my side,
Is nothing but a dream,
I'd wade through black mud water,
Just to get to you.

Your eyes are my only god.

Ballroom to Dance In!
Skyler M Jun 2021
Rolling in an empty ballroom,
Dressed up tight,
Black slacks and blue tie,
All the windows are boarded up,
The floor is littered with glass shards,
Wood planks and dead bugs,
I think I saw a couple ****** teeth too.

It's foreign. (Can't handle this!)
It's foreign. (Can't handle this!)
I'll scream. (Too many 👁eyes👁 watching me!)
I'll scream. (Too many 👁eyes👁 watching me!)

Free-floating cobwebs from the chandelier,
Ripped jacket and lost shoes,
This glass is really hurting me too,
Don't know what I'm hunting for,
Spiders crawl into the holes in the floor,
And also into the rips in my blazer.

It's foreign. 👁(Hello! Are you there?)👁
It's foreign. 👁(Come down to earth!)👁
I'll scream.👁(You're being dramatic.)👁
I'll scream. 👁(Just get more sleep!)👁

It's foreign.  (Can't handle this!)
It's foreign. (Can't handle this!)

This dread. 👁(Someone's outside?!)👁
This dread. 👁(My room isn't safe!)👁

I'm dead?! (He loves me more than ever now!)
I'm dead?! (........I let him.......)

Human
Skyler M Feb 2018
Living empty-minded, unaware of plaguing viruses to find it and mind it.
Purpose becomes worthless if you move by inches, pointing you to giant homes and dehumanizing riches.
When life hands you meaning,
Why do you run and hide from it's changing chimes?
We're living the American dream,
Access to process your every single word.

Don't like me,
Don't like you,
Well, there's something I gotta write,
Don't like this,
Don't like that.
Well, there's no thinking left living.

Follow the big white line that leads into the sea,
How corrupted could we be,
To only see the world from the pictures on the T.V.,
Sempiternal delinquent humans run to become free.
We're living the American dream,
Access to process your every opinion.

Don't like me,
Don't like you,
Well, there's something I gotta write,
Don't like this,
Don't like that.
Well, there's no thinking left living.

Resting Away
Skyler M Feb 2018
Underneath the bridge and into the misty fog,
I will search for your soul that you lost so long ago,
Time passes and I can hardly remember where I came from,
The path fades from my memory and I'll dig in the ground to find a trace of home,
Your soul won't be found by mortal hands like mine,
So I'll rest on the dirt and tear my hair out of it's roots,
So frustrating how this time I'm wasting as I know your soul is waiting in the undergrowth.

You're so cold
Can you see?
That I wish for no more pain and loss of rain,
So send me down, on my way, to find your body,
Resting away.

Flashing strobes blind me while I desperately plead that you give me one more chance for the fifth time,
On time, that's all, I'll bring your breaking mortal body to your soul,
Just don't leave me alone,
Cause I'm petrified of losing my life,
To my own *****, ***** deeds.

You're so cold
Can you see?
That I wish for no more pain and loss of rain,
So send me down, on my way, to find your body,
Resting away.

Dear America
Skyler M Jun 2021
I don't sleep with the lights on anymore,
There's not a St. Nicolas nor a Christ,
Now I know that there's no poltergeist,
Polluted waters and carbon emissions,
Corrupted systems and ignorant *****.

Viva la Revolution, dearest America,
Oh *******, Jeffery, Bill and Elon,
He chews you up to paste,
Then spits you out like waste.

I'm not ******* genius for thinking,
That everything is going to hell.

Viva la Revolution, dearest America,
A big ******* to all the cops who bastardized themselves,
"We chew you up to paste,
Now kiss me like I'm dressed in lace."

Everything is going to hell,
Everything is going to hell,
Everybody is going to hell,
Viva la Revolution and **** America.

R.I.H
Skyler M Sep 2018
Did you forget that nights like this bring creatures into our hearts,
They sink into our skin and bleed through our frames,
Giving us nothing to live for.

Rainfall in hometown,
Brings about ghouls I could never describe,
The homes turn into beasts that roam every single night.

Three Eyes, Three Guns
Skyler M Nov 2017
Is the devil crawling from hell?
Reaching out to take you down?
I'm the demon that you feared,
The one that'll make you drown.

I've got three eyes, one to see you fail,
One to shoot you down, and the last to **** your mind.

Can't you see me crawling from hell?
Reaching out to take you down?
I'm the devil that you feared,
The one that'll drown you in self-doubt.

I've got three eyes, one to see you fail,
One to shoot you down, and the last to **** your mind.

I can see in your eyes,
I'm killing you faster by the day,
Oh, it makes me smile.
Trust me.

I've got three guns, one for the pen,
One for the letters, and the last to **** your mind.

Canals On Mars
Skyler M Dec 2021
All that I can figure out is nothing makes sense,
I end up resorting to burying myself in the sand,
There's a chance that I am nothing more than a child,
And the wind calls away from this place I called home.

My tear ducts are alike to the canals on Mars,
Empty and red from the eons of dread,
You're no better than me, stop pretending.

Volcanic Sand
Skyler M Feb 2018
In the darkness of the volcanic sand,
It's pitch black words sink into my soul,
As I find my peace between it's grains,
But I can't pull it out from there.

Paranoid!
Skyler M Mar 2020
Headache, is this it?
Sneezed, is this it?
Coughed, is this it?
Sore, is this it?

No
I think I’ve been in bed too long,
My mind’s playing tricks on me,
And people are out here playing tennis.

Time Flies
Skyler M Feb 2019
Oh, I know, we haven't talked much,
It's been forever since we've seen each other,
I fell for your lack of words,
In the darkest hours of my nights,
When I allowed the acid to run down my skin.

On my head,
All my vices,
In my bed,
This fabric it slices,
And I've said,
again and again,
"Destroy me."

It rained in through the roof,
The people beside myself crying "deliver me"
The walls inside the room closed up so tight,
All I could see was the sky,
And in the sky I couldn't see anybody,
Yet I yelled and I screamed,
Terrified, petrified,
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

On my head,
All my vices,
In my bed,
This fabric it slices,
And I've said,
again and again,
"Destroy me."

"Destroy me."

"Destroy me."

Evening Sun
Skyler M Apr 2020
Loving the sun in the evening time,
When it strikes through the blinds,
And soothes my skin.
Skyler M Sep 2018
A little touch of your voice,
A little shiver running down my spine,
A little clock stops the time,
I turn towards your kingdom,
And where it may be, may not be there at all,
Sometimes I feel like I need it there,
So I pretend that I love you and that I need you,
I don't understand why God died,
But I see your face in the many pictures of my childhood.

I'm the only one in my room,
Laying on my bed, alone,
Colder as the night creeps along,
Could I ask the Spirit to save me again?
I need their touch now, right now.

Looking through my old toys,
Finding them to be ripped and grayed,
I've lost my mind through illnesses that I can't control,
The memories attached make me shiver,
I can't remember the last time I ate a meal happily,
Maybe I can find God inside the stuffing of my old teddy bear,
If his heart beats inside than maybe I'll believe,
But I don't see God in all the newest pictures of myself.

I'm the only one in my room,
Laying on my bed, alone,
Colder as the night creeps along,
Could I ask the Spirit to save me again?
I need their touch now, right now.

The Car and the Body
Skyler M Jan 2018
Been driving for hours,
My hands off the wheel,
Staring at the meteor showers,
The time ticks slowly as I reveal how I feel.

Then I see the night has arrived,
So I’ll grab my map and turn on the lights,
The road begins it’s journey as it suddenly contrived,
Into fear and it just so happens that it might,
Watch me slowly be deprived.

The car slows down at the cliff,
And I’ll look out over the edge,
I see my porcelain body, stiff,
I realize that it had jumped itself off of the ledge.

The car then begins to drive towards the trees,
I find myself in the backseat,
Begging for forgiveness, please,
I know that I alone cannot defeat,
The devil sitting in the front seat.

Aiming for the hole in the ground,
The car begins to swerve,
In the backseat I notice that I am bound,
The ropes are hitting a nerve.

I’m sad because I know at last,
My time has come fade away,
All my time has become a past,
I knew all my edges had fray.

So driving once again,
I drove off of the cliff,
Knowing that I had just committed a sin.
