Going to sleep isn't hard anymore
I'm so tired of everything that the exhaustion just takes over my body
Because that is where I am supposed to be
I am supposed to be resting in the ground
I am supposed to be gone
Unscrewing a razor from a pencil sharpener is where I am instead
Shoving a toothbrush down my throat
I tried destroying myself completely and it didn't work
people got angry
So instead I will keep going bit by bit until I can finally disappear
Just a vent, I haven't been able to write lately

Winter sent Summer a letter
My bags are all packed, I'll be there in September
You need to start winding it down
The cold are I are both coming to town

Seems eons since I've been away
Just enough time for the Earth to bake
Knowing that it could use a rest
We'll be there soon before there's nothing left

I'll cover it in a blanket of white
Give it the sleep it needs till the time is right
Before Summer wakes up from it's slumber
With the singing of Spring like that of young lovers

I'll take time out to frolic and play
In the cool of the nights with the chill of the day
Telling cold jokes to all of the trees
Whether or not they find them funny

Then is when I'll pack up my bags
Taking with me what little cold I have left
Until the day we both meet again
In the heat of the breeze on the cold of the wind

She took the part
That broke her heart
And soon would take her life

But the pirouettes
Help her forget
She's dancing on a knife

The sun don't seem bright today
And there's clouds in the sky

You're just not yourself today
But there's no reason why

You're talking
Crazy
Words in disguise

They see you
Struggling
Hiding your eyes

You say it's in self defense
You tell yourself lies

When you hurt the ones around you
You're not the one who cries

You turn to
Anyone
You can cling to for a day

Gripping
But slipping
On the ground in your way

So be here now
Someway, somehow
We won't be here again

I promise you
When this is through
I'll still be here my friend

Until the end

With each passing glance
We're all looking for someone
Behind strangers eyes

And though she was blind
Her eyes shined with inner light
And love beyond words
I met a blind woman today and when she looked into my eyes I saw something incredibly profound that I still cannot explain. This haiku is my best attempt to put that feeling into words.

I've seen the people
They have tombstones in their eyes
Dying to get high

Our stars light the sky
In the gathering dark of
A lonely city

I have always had
The compelling urge to leave
Where I feel welcome
Sa sobrang saya,
nakakatakot na.
