In my sorrows, I drown.
As I lay, I sink.

Exposed

I have shown my words
the folded edges of my book
the accidental rips
the mindful confusing to all annotations
the highlighted quotes
the underlines
the arrows
the connections.

I have shown my mind
the unhealthy parts
the mistakes
the mindful confusing to all thoughts
the highlighted memories
the underlying reasons
the why's the who's
the connections.

I have shown my art
the wrinkled pages in my sketchpad
the cross outs
the mindful confusing to all compositions
the highlights and shadows
the underlying feelings
the what's and why's
the connections.

I have shown my book,
I have shown myself.

why do I still hold back
when I am free?

quick thoughts

drained
contained
somewhat misbehaved

damaged
challenged
never really managed

lust
and lost
lacking so much trust

confused
refused
always felt so used

comforted
resorted
now I feel supported

love
i found love
now feeling so above

You make it so easy
for me to hate you

Book by its cover

I get good grades,
Have "a lot of friends" and "I'm always happy",
Everyone thinks they know everything about me.

Sure, I can be oblivious,
But it doesn't mean I'm injudicious.

I ask a lot of questions just to learn more,
not because I'm an imbecile.

Just because I'm healthy,
it doesn't mean I'm wealthy

You see me smiling?
well it doesn't mean I'm actually happy
because I'm not

Look past the surface
Dare to ask

Don't judge a.....

Draft

Lately, I've been writing.
Writing a lot about you,
But why?

Why is it that I can't get you out of my mind?
You're inside my ******* head
I've got more drafts than the NFL
Your face is embedded in my ******* brain.

I try to stop, I try to write
about anything else
but it always comes back
right back to you
it's all about you.

Everything used to always be about you too
and now for some ******* reason
the only thing I can write about is you
the only thing I can think about is you.

I don't love you
I don't miss you
but I can't forget you.

No matter now hard I try,
You always ******* come back.

Oh, but never in person
Oh no..
You never came back for me.
