It is becoming clearer, now,
That the burden of time is essential
For if we had no limit,
We would have since learned nothing
Thus,
The general disregard for indispensable knowledge authorizes a sense of lunacy
A familiar place in which dreams do not exist
And failure is a past time
To surrender to such commonality,
Is to have simply died without living.

Going through the motions
Becomes harder everyday
Daydreaming
Sleeping
Anything to make me feel sane
I have found that it’s easier
To live life without living
When your heart folds
And your story
Is left untold

My eyes dialate
The darkness of your voice, their trigger
I pull away
The constant ache, it seems unbearable
Yet I always find myself back here
In the midst of your agony, I reside,
Collapsed within the center of your crisis
For within your pain,
My resilience lies.

The filthy peasant approaches me;
The one in which I had hoped to see
A love declaration;
A serious consideration
Eternal popularity is all I may say
Eternal popularity;
The price I must pay

I dream
Of the twinkling stars
The glowing moon
The dewy grass

I dream
Of my future
My extraordinary career
My beautiful family

But most of all,
I dream
Of you
Holding me under the dark sky
And creating a perfectly messy life together

You explored all parts of me
Mind, body, spirit
We were lost in the aroma of one another
It meant nothing, I scream

I push you against the wall
Slithering up to you; poisonous snake
Vicious slap, unimaginable kiss
It meant nothing, I scream

Grabbing hold
You whisper "I love you"
Rage, ***
It meant nothing, I scream
It meant nothi...

Baby,
I know you love me
I feel it
As your body sways
Every word,
Every touch
Attempted to break these walls
At first it was bliss
What once felt fun,
Free
Now feels foreign
I don’t want to be here
I can’t be here
I’m sorry

The sun has fallen,
The moon rising in its decent
I watch,
As the stars come into focus
Their stories,
Painted on this canvas
I am not alone,
I can feel you watching this too
Though your view,
Is far greater than that of mine.

We are taught to look around us,
At the radiant sun gently falling beneath the surface
Or the wrinkled edges of an elders laugh lines
We are taught to look around us,
At the child whose laughter fuels our freedom
Or the motivational poster claiming "You can do it!"
We are taught to look around us,
At the lives of others
Or the destiny in which they have fulfilled
We are taught to look around us,
And maybe that's the problem

The only people I find interesting are those who strip me of my sanity
My morals, my judgments
Vanished in their presence

They cut against the grain
Sudden curiosity transpires into adventure
Amidst such uncertainty sheds clarity-
The clarification that nothing really makes sense anyways
Answers do not have to be given
But questions must be answered  

Take your time,
Speak of the theory of reincarnation while deep ******* a ****  
Hike 1,000 miles
Do what your soul desires
Because these people, these are "The crazy ones"
And they're worth listening to.

You build me up
And tear me down
All at the same time

I love our story
The one we wrote
When the leaves were changing
And we were learning how to love
It's messy
It's unique
But most importantly,
It's us.

It was her
Her gleaming eyes became irresistible to him
His underlying emotional demeanor was obvious to her
She slid herself into his heart
It was not just a game,
It was a way for her to find love
For her, love meant taking hold of another mans heart,
Suffocating it
Squeezing it
And finally, crushing it.

She was it
She was that girl who hurt so badly that she could never love again
She destroyed every decent man in her path
This vicious cycle became a quick fix
For at any point in time,
She could always fish for more.

Underneath her trembling vocals,
Lies an undesirable, untouched, beating heart
Pulsating beneath her fragile skin
It takes time to see such beauty,
To witness such a powerful love,
It takes time
The right man will eventually come
If the waiting doesn't **** her first.

How sad,
When goodbyes release the pressure
And sudden loneliness helps you breathe again.

We hate.
Racism, sexism
Enough "isms" to solve...
But we don't solve
No, we accept
We accept that we hate
We hate because we are scared
Fear drives angst
Angst to corruption
And corruption...
To acceptance.
We accept hate,
WE accept hate.

She is outgoing
Beautifully suave
Confident in all the right ways

I am alone
Eating microwave pizza
Imagining a life I don't have

Cannibus
Ice cream
Whiskey
Chips

Yet you're the one that seeps into me

I feel it coming
It’s creeping up like a spoiled step daughter
My guard is down
My armor shed
I’m naked,
Exposed to love
& the pain that comes with it

I feel it coming
Loves reckoning
Please,
Take pity on me

Fear
Pain
Guilt
Jealousy
Hatred
Anger
Sadness

Emotions we feel
That separate us from other beings
While simulatenously
Tearing us apart

Your eyes-
Staring directly into my throbbing soul
You could see my pain, my happiness, my life, through those pale green eyes
Your hands, blistered from the pencil
They reach my upper thigh, but your gaze never strays  
My legs are surrounding your abled midsection
You show your teeth
That is all I needed
For this moment, right now
This is my happy place
I will always have this day; this everlasting memory
And when I'm sad,
I can go back
And remember what it feels like to be *loved
