I always bother you
though I never try.
I hate the tears
but I cant keep from the cry.
you are everywhere I can never find
everywhere
but by my side
and its pathetic,
I  know it is

and yet...
I cant keep the panic at bay

and still....
anxiety steals my words before i can say

Missing you

I find myself missing you,
Your company and friendship,
All the little things that make you..
Well, you.

I cant hear them anymore,
the sounds of the fighters..
its gone.
they've been taken away,
they've been stolen away,
by the power of society's reign.
I can see them all falling,
they're slipping away,
the best of the fighters,
they've held on til today.
but now for some reason, they're all letting go,
hiding emotion they'll never show.
I cant hear them anymore,
the sounds of the fighters..
its gone.
We push it aside,
ignoring the sickness
spreading across our lives.
no obvious solution,
no quick fix,
so we push it aside,
ignoring this sickness.
the war rages on, no longer in foreign lands,
its here, and the problem,
its in our hands.
eking out the color,
killing the light,
disconnecting one from another,
sapping our will to fight.
we should be coming together,
yet we're falling apart,
could be building each other,
yet we're tearing everyone down.
this war is raging all around.
inside and out.
yet its a silent war.
fought by invisible soldiers,
won by ignored victories,
plagued with forgotten defeat.
and all were thinking
"where were we?"
but
God bless America.
because the gov. is right,
the war on drugs is the real war in this land.
not the children crying at night,
not the teenagers putting up their last fight,
not the adults wondering how to go on,
not how society's got it all wrong.....

The mirror seems to stretch and grow, distorting the depiction that it shows.
In his arms I am beautiful,
In her eyes I am a blinding light,
But the mirror proves them all false,
And shows me that I never look quite right.
I try  and I try
But it’s never enough
I laugh and I cry
But I can’t seem to hold onto my bluff
That I am “ok
That there is nothing more to say
That I am alright
That I don’t go down without a fight
When in all truth
Ive fallen apart
All skin and bones
With a frail heart
Can you see me breaking?
Can you hear me shaking?
Isn’t it breathtaking?!
The sight of me placating
This morbid mirror
All cracked and shattered
Depicting all that I fear
But please believe me
And my fake bluff
So that I may fool myself
Into beliveing that I am enough.

I amBOLD
I am STRONG
I am HAPPY
Nothing is WRONG

I am BEAUTIFUL
I am GLASS
I am RESILIENT
I live through the CRACKS

I am splinterig
I’m Falling apart
I am shattering
My splintered old heart

I am faint
I am frail
Am I even here?
Who can tell?

I am a flicker
A faint blur
Is this pain worth it?
I’m no longer so sure

So many portraits of people i once knew,
so many opportunities that i blew.
i think about them nearly every day,
but some i wish, would fade away.

broken fragments of the past,
so much love that never lasts.
scattered memories frozen in time,
a shiny picture, a beautiful lie.

Variations of time long past,
i left them at the bay, when i let loose the mast.
i think about them nearly every day,
but some i wish, would fade away.

Its a beautiful painting, as old as time,
heartache and pain mixed in with the die.
scattered memories frozen in time,
a shiny picture, a beautiful lie.


plenty of love, plenty of heartache,
I'm still alive, no need to remake.
i think about them nearly every day,
but some i wish, would fade away.

can you see beyond this splintered frame?
these bleeding smiles among the colorful array.
scattered memories frozen in time,
a shiny picture, a beautiful lie.

All of the time that has passed with them,
don't compare to you, my one and only gem.
now those old memories remain portraits.

when im with you, these colors glow,
i can put down the camera,
leave the pictures alone.
as pieces of a broken past...
ready to find happiness at last.

I thought about them nearly every day...
scattered memories frozen in time,
but when im with you they fade away...
that shiny picture, the beautiful lie.

because when im with you.....
because when im with you,
the world just shines.

Misplaced smiles, awkward laughs,
The silence stretches on for miles.
Wandering eyes, shuffling feet,
Something's missing, incomplete.
What happened to the brighter days?
When hours seemed to slip away?
Now the seconds are more like years,
And minutes seem like eons of fears.
I miss you dearly, this I know,
But I wounder if it's you I miss,
Or something I created, romanticized,
Either way, it seems so faded,
What happened to the friendship we so effortlessly created?

although age in and of itself
does not declare experience
or the depth of knowledge one has gained
and in my opinion is silly for anyone
to think otherwise
I'm always told
"your so wise for one so young."
Or
"oh I remember what it was like to be 19
and think you know the world."
Yet what they refuse to acknowledge
is that in 19 short years,
I may have experienced both
horrors and beauty
that they have yet to dream let alone see.
Who is to say that age is a boundary of the mind?
That inexperience creates an age divide?
Who are they to claim that we would be consumed
when they have yet to wander in our beaten old shoes?
Who are they to judge me of a story
they have yet to hear?
All becuse they refuse to lend an ear?

"Whats wrong"
                       I can't tell, is the water on my face rain or tears?
                           I can't say it out loud! Please read it in my eyes....

"Can you just not be so **** sad for once?"
                          The wind claws at everything, a welcome pain.
               I'm trying! Can't you see the effort? Oh stars, it HURTS!

"You can talk to me..."
                             I look away, I cannot bare the pain in your eyes.
                           Oh darling I know, I want to but... I can't.

"Talk **** it."
                            Your eyes are hard now, your angry with me, please don't be mad.
                        Don't you see? My voice betrayed me!

"You know, you make it hard to love you sometimes."
                              The song playing is fitting "I'm searching for something that I can't reach."
                               Your words are cutting me. Stripping me to the core, please for the love of God, don't say you can't love me anymore...
Kurtis,
There are times when one simply cannot bare to speak
Yet in their silence is the screaming you can't bare to hear.
