Im sorry
I'm sorry
Sorry I'm ugly
Sorry I'm too loud
Sorry I am too tall
Sorry I snort when I laugh
Sorry I'm too skinny
Sorry I don't wear that much makeup
Sorry I'm too poor to replace broken shoes
Sorry I'm not everything you wanted me to be
My lungs are lead weights in my chest, pressing against my rib cage and bearing down on my intestines.
I try to inhale but the metal that is my lungs will not ply.
My mouth is stuck in a wide O as i continue to wheeze.
I reach out to your hand for help but you just sneer and pull away.
My lead lungs pull the oxygen from my system, keeping the necessary gases from entering, and you laugh.
You laugh as my whole life is taken away, endless possibilities all ended by the one impossible thing i wanted!
You.
You are what stole the air from my lungs, oh how exciting it was until i realized i could no longer take it back.
What you hold in your hands is not yours to have it is mine.
It is the air from my lung, every beat my heart skipped, every thought i have had since you showed up.
But now with this burning in my chest, my heart trying desperately to keep on pumping, i look into your eyes as you throw it all away , disappearing like dust in the wind.
Then you are gone.
Just as quickly as you came you leave.
The lead in my chest begins to drip through my bones, burning and clawing its way up my throat, and out my mouth and eyes.
My heart beats weakly in my chest as if it had gotten used to your vice like grip.
My eyes drip and my lungs burn and now all im left with
**is lead
Inspire by an asthma attack also it sounds way the **** cooler when i read it loud ****

Panic attack
Heart racing
Head pounding
Lungs seizing
Muscles shaking
Music blaring
Hands grasping
Eyes crying
Fear grabbing
Limbs numb
Keep breathing
in,out,in,out
Hyperventilating
Mind gone
Then it's over
Standing up
Shaking knees
Stomach in knots
Face red
Breath catching
Mind buzzing
Embarrassment flooding
Deep breathes.

Left behind
You've moved onto her
The exact opposite of me
Long hair
Flat stomach
Brown skin
5'3
Smooth laugh
Lots of friends
You gave her the things you once gave me
Your old blue sweatshirt
Long stares from across the room
Your heart full of love
Sweet smiles and sly jokes
You have let go of us
And I'm left here holding onto you
Today was a ****** day.

November 16th
Cigarette ash stings my finger tips
  As I wait in my car
                 for a boy
The cold winter air caresses my cheek
                 Just as he once did
Blue and red lights flash across my vision
Reflecting off of dark puddles
Like a movie
   In slow motion
                  they wheel his body away
  And I sit in my car
            and wait for a boy
hi guys im back lol

I saw galaxies in your eyes

Sleep
I don't sleep anymore
Some say insomnia
I say it's the monsters under my bed
No it's all in my head
So real
I see her
Standing in the corner of my room
With dripping wet hair
And empty grey eyes
Staring and smiling
I see him
A ball of static with a wide toothed grin
Every time i close my eyes
There is no escape
My nightmares have bled into reality and i cant get them to go back
Maybe if i swallow these pills
It'll make them go away
Maybe if i take a few more
they'll stop their whispers
Maybe just a few more
And i finally fall into absolute darkness
Somewhere their whispers can't reach me

Tired
Im tired of this
Tired of feeling like **** all the time
Tired of being alone
Tired of feeling hated
Tired of faking smiles
Tired of talking about myself
Tired of trying
Tired of wishing i were dying
Tired of living like this
I'm simply tired of being alive

Infinity
One love
One God
One life
One world
These mortal born limitations are the only thing that stands between us and infinity
An infinite amount of possibility limited only by our mind
We are told there is only one way but i promise there are always more
We are infinite in a finite amount of time
Endless directions punctuated by the limitations of the human mind
We will never reach infinity because we still cannot grasp eternity
Rough draft, will probably fix later

An old poem about love.
The rainbows i love are not created by water refracting light but by the contrast of green in your deep brown eyes.
The sun that shines brightest is your lopsided smile.
The way you tilt your head brings my whole world with it.
My name from your lips sounds like the sweetest song.
Your laughter at my cheesy jokes i would gladly listen to for all eternity.
My world ventures no further than your arms around me.
I could live in the smell of oak and nighttime you bring with you.
The only place i will ever want to be is in your loving embrace.
This is very old lol it is one of the things i am slightly proud of that i pulled straight out of my ***.

S.E.X.
his lips caress my collar bone
as his hands begin to roam
the sounds of shaking breath
skin against skin
and moaning voices
echos into the stars
inviting pleasure in
his finger tips gripping my hips
are all thats keeping me from floating into space
rough words whispered in sweet tones
are all that are convincing me this is reality
the bruises he leaves behind after he's done
just remind me of what once was
and once they disappear again
i go crawling back for more
bleh i only write this stuff because im alone in the world

Oblivion
The sickeningly sweet voice of oblivion calls me, promising beautiful things.
How I yearn to fall, drifting forever in between dreams
to be able to shed the weight on my shoulders and replace it with swirling darkness.
Oblivion beckons me further and further into the blissful silence.
I know if I follow to the end of this tunnel
I will never return but the thought makes me smile.
The pain and regret washes away as
I fall into complete darkness.
Oh how sweet oblivion tastes.

Too much
Looking into your eyes
I ask a single question
"Did you expect this?"
Of course
You shake your head
Confirming my worst fears
"It's just too much for me"
Too much for you
My abuse
My heartbreak
My abandonment
My scars
Are too much
For you
But like always
I nod
"It's okay, its too much for me too"
But just remember
When they find my body
In a bathtub filled with blood
You told me
It was too much
For you

Painful
Stop
Stop it
Stop touching me
Stop talking to me
Stop breathing near me
Just stop
Every brush of your hand
Makes me feel as if there are ants under my skin trying to come out of my finger tips
Every sound you make
Feels like a million birds are screeching in terror
Every breath you take
Is one less time my heart beats
I shake at the mere mention of your name
My body aches from old wounds when i scroll past your picture
My heart races in fear when i see you glance from across the room
I can no longer take this
I can no longer breath
So might as well stop my heart from beating
Wow this is no bueno my dudes but thats alright sometimes ya just gotta get out the bad ones

I will not write for you
No
No i will not write you a poem
I will not write about how the light dances in your eyes
Or how your face makes me think of starry night skies
I will not string the perfect concoction of syllables and rhymes
Just so you can feel special
I will not write you a poem
You are far too judgmental
Every poem has a meaning
This ones is slightly demeaning

Some girl at school found some of my stuff and tried to force me to write a poem about her. Not happening

Coma
I wake up in an unknown room
With needles sticking out of both my hands and one in my arm
There is a tube down my throat and i cant figure out why im still breathing
I look around with blurry eyes
And here the beeps with foggy ears
I look up to see clear bags on poles connected to the needles
I feel like i can hear the slow drip drip drip of the liquid flowing through those tubes
I know it is impossible but i could feel those drips
They were like tiny earth quakes in my hands
That shook me to my coar
A smiling blonde nurse walks in and takes the tube out of my throat
Her name is McKenzie
McKenzie tells me how I was life flighted to spokane
How i have been in a coma for 4 days
How my heart rate was above 170
How my dog found me
laying on the concrete floor covered in my own ****
But all i can hear is the incessant beeping of machines
All i can hear is the sound of my own failure
I took so many pills i lost track after 150
I could still feel the steel knife against my skin
I was so careful
So sure
Well
They always say third times the charm.

If there is a heaven
If there is a heaven it is not a place I wish to be.
A place where an unjust God sits on a throne carved from the struggles of their creatures.
Where she\he says to love them above all else but punishes the one who truley does.
Where murderers, rapists, and abusers live in paradise while peace keepers are thrown into purgatory and suffering.
Where people beat the others who think differently even when their God's word says to
'love thy neighbor'
So if there is a heaven, I would gladly fall to hell

Universal
I am alone
I think at this point i have become part of the void
I float among the stars
Aimlessly
Thoughtlessly
As i try to keep my grip on reality
It drips through my fingers like oil
cascading into the darkness

Anxiety
The bees in my brain begin to crawl out of my eyes, nose, and mouth.
There are ants under my fingernails and biting at my arms,
the caterpillars in my throat bloom into butterflies eating their way out of my stomach.
A snake coils around my lungs and squeezes as hard as it can.
The earth quake that makes my knees shake has broken my legs. Unable to stand i fall and i shatter.
I am made of glass and have broken under the crushing weight on my shoulders.
The bugs run free from my body and for a moment, I am at peace.

_random poem_
Slender fingers light cigarettes
Held by lips
That time forgets
Smoke fogs a mind
Consigned to oblivion
Tear stained cheeks hold the signs
Of a smile that has run out
of story lines
A cramped box holds a brain
Covered in blood stains
Thin arms wrapped around a body
That has been forsaken
Legs swinging off the edge of the Hollywood sign
A swan dive downward
Doesn't attract a single eye
But for a moment
I believe i can fly

Alone
I am alone. I am alone in an ever deepening hole. The pin ***** of light at the top has become to far away for me to see. This hole is empty. Void of anything to distract me from it's darkness. It swallows me whole, with no forgiveness it's teeth clamp down on my body. I feel no pain any more. I have been here too long. The voices leading me out have long since disappeared. 
The red of my blood against my skin has become dull. A grey liquid bleeding out of grey veins onto grey skin. Slowly I am fading out of existence. And I will fade alone.

Nightmares into Reality
I cannot tell real life from illusion
I have suffered a contusion not of the body but of the mind
I can no longer put my worries to rest for they have insomnia
I see monsters not only in nightmares but walking behind me down the street
I hear the voices calling me even when im in an empty room
I smell blood even though there is no wound
I can no longer keep the peace, there is a rebelion in my head
I can no longer take solace in my own bed
I am drowning in a sea of fear and sheer terror
I can no longer hold onto this ledge
I will fall right off the edge of reality
Right into the bed of **insanity

Burn
Who am i too mourn what was never mine
Tears have been shed time after time
I see you driving by
And i cry even though you were never mine
My love was from afar
But you knew that from the start
Like a flame i burned too hot
Scorching your skin when you tried to get close
So instead of wearing heat resistant clothing
You chose to ******* away
Here's one from deeeeeeeeeeep in my archives like way down there

angel down the rabbit hole
Falling down the rabbit hole
Endless darkness engulfs me
Is this my eternity?

A back slams ******* the ground
It must be mine
My body vibrates from the impact
Have I finally fallen back into reality?
N O
H E L P?
Eating pills like candy
Sweet and tangy
as they glide down my throat
Sunbathing on a mushroom
Taller than a skyscraper
Blisters cover my skin
Smoking hookah
With  the butterfly's from my stomach
The Pansies dwarf me
as the tulips gawk
Their shrill laughter coating my soul

With a heart that's much too small
I  bask in white roses colored with my own  blood
joining the others in outcast
the format got mad ****** up bc this site kinda ***** but its ok

Looking from the outside in
You look at me from the outside
Like a fish in a clear glass bowl
You only see me swimming peacefully
As I stare back at you fearfully
All you see are the bubbles escaping my mouth
But cannot hear the screams that come out
Tap, tap, tap you hit the glass
I feel the vibrating
And think I am dying
Unable to swim away from your terror
You wave at me, unaware of your error
Smiling a wide toothed grin
You look at me from the outside in

Champagne
You are a bottle of champagne
Your eyes are golden
Just like your skin
Your voice bubbles to the top of your throat
And your mouth tastes like the stars.
But at the end of every sip is the sharp bite of alcohol
The thorn on the stem of a rose.
Every touch comes with a price
Still I drink your last drop
my mind becomes foggy
My decisions are yours
Then suddenly we're going 70 on a 45 dirt road
The next thing i know im on the couch and you're screaming at me
Wake up, ***** wake up wake up wake up
Sometimes i like to think the bruises you leave behind are the colors of the sunset
They're beautiful with the promise of sweet release
Or that they are the sunrise, yelling to remind me it's a new day
It can get better
But i know it won't
I drown myself in the way you taste, the way your champagne words slide down my throat
To distract myself from how your knuckles made of steel sting when they hit my cheek
Or how your new leather boots crunch when they hit my ribs
But maybe its not the boots that are cracking.
Maybe its me
Not only have you broken my bones but you have broken my spirit
My resolve is shattered along with my mind.
But i will continue to drink your lies
Until the end of time
Because without you i am nothing

Paper
People close enough to feel their breath
Liars and cheaters too close to my skin
Everyone wanting to touch and grab
And even those who don't
Stand much to close
Everyone tearing apart my paper flesh
And lapping up my wine colored blood
Yo yo this is some ****** stuff i wrote let me know what ya think my dudes

Echos
This place,
It echoes with sounds.
From the past present and future.
It gives me an option.
Of which to respond to.
Will I keep screaming back at the past?
Or whisper towards the future?
Why not just sit and listen to the sounds of now
Instead of worrying about the sounds that might come,
Or regretting the ones that have already left.
I will love the sounds that are bouncing off the walls of now.

Chaos
I have lived in a world filled with peace and calm but the moment you walked through the door it was pure, beautiful, chaos.
