time is something we made up to escape the silence
of invisible beating wings
and hearts running rampant in chests belonging to people without names
and the laughter shines like sunshine
Through wooden shutters and doors that words creep through
our bodies creak as we dance to the music the earth plays for us
but for now,
we are all just children in tall grass
and the tall grass are the buildings and houses and places we call home..
we refuse to be silent
and we shake our bones in defiance
next to fires on late nights
with bottles in our hands
and words in our mouths that we will never say.
we wont stop breathing until
we stop dreaming
until we've fallen in love more times then we have fingers

until...  

never.

we are alive
&
we are young.
And maybe tommrow
when we are older
and bolder
we can shed our skins and our differences
and dance as one
in the cotton candy clouds
next to the diamond stars
with smiles so bright on our faces that nothing could stop us.
when you run out of options and places to go
you can always be happy.

i am a beautifully misunderstood masterpiece
plastered with ugly truths and beautiful lies
i push boundaries and limits of what you thought you could be
and leave your little lungs empty.

i've knocked on deaths door twice but I still come home to you, darling

because when i learn to love you
i'll morph into something new
something pretty..
something that is the polar opposite of me.
i will become your expectations
and forget about who i use to be
make art of out my pain
and love, out of my heartbreak
no longer a caterpillar
i will be a little butterfly
shedding her skin
to finally
be something

*beautiful.

i'm stuck in a state of nothing
and I can feel my sanity slipping into the abyss of nothingness
after all
we are all broken people trying to understand even more broken misconceptions
trying to piece together the world like a big jigsaw puzzle so we can try to understand things were too scared to even discover.
So yes,
i am stuck in a state of nothing
because everything I've been taught
everything I have learned
has been worth nothing
and
nothing makes sense.
nothing. Makes. Sense.
we live on the lie that we control our lives.. but our lives control us
and when you don't conceal the truth with fancy cars and trinkets
you see life for what it really is

something beautiful.

worth?



**nothing..
Embrace the crazy within.

run
the cop cars are the pulse of the city
weeding in and out of the city streets like veins to my corroded artery
and when their sirens come alive
no one dares to breathe.
But in the distance
the mountains shake with laughter
at the sheer mediocrity we call  life
and the trees whisper
words that we shouted from the rooftops on the darkest of nights
and
The earth vomits up
All the things we left behind
only to cover up our broken bones
when were to crippled to breath.

and
the city comes alive at night
beating drums in my head
all the
noise
So much noise
is
caused by the unity of our hearts.
We are not alive, only living
&
i just want to run away.

i've detached myself from everyone
all my friends
all my family
they
don't seem to understand why I'm not happy
but happiness isn't something you buy, it isn't something that get with a side of mashed potatoes or pork chops
its a lifestyle.. A life style that every part of me ******* yearns for
i can't be happy here
looking at all your sad faces
all your self pity
i have enough of my own

all i have to say anymore is *******
to every single friend i have ever had that didn't even care enough to ask me if i was okay
*******
mom for leaving me
******* Josh, for ******* me over
**** this world
******* all , thank you.
