Camwhore
CC Sep 2014
I can't feel my shame
But I can tell your skin
Far away

Close to my face
The glow is warming
I am revived

Sick to my bones
I'm all alone
Close the distance
Kindly
Plain and simple
That's my name

I'm laid on the edge
It's not the same
You're not to blame
Is the door locked?

See my frame
See my face
Quickly
what's my rush?

Bring it to your room
Are you alone?

Sick to my bones
I am all alone
Close the distance
If you could
Kindly
Plain and simple
That is my name

Bad riddance
CC Dec 2014
I really miss you
I wish I could write down everything I want to say to you
I wish I didn't feel embarrassment when I think about how long I'm missing you and how much this song reminds me of you, how your love of nature disconnects me from anyone who feels the same and how I wish I didn't feel guilty when my sadness becomes beauty to others. How I wish that when I am trying to express how much I miss you and that I'm sad about you being gone they wouldn't take advantage. You didn't.
I really miss you
I miss the smell of your clothes when you just woke up
I miss rubbing my nose on your shoulder so I can be immersed in your smell
I regret it
Because the smell of detergent makes me want to break down and cry
I miss having you by my side
I miss your sweet smile
I don't say it enough
Because I didn't say it enough when you were around
I miss you because you were pure
And now I hate to turn this all towards me
Because now I'm rotten
Now I'm vile
And every good thing that you were that I see in other men and in myself
Repulses me to know end
Because you left me
You left everybody
And I cannot forgive
This will be until the end of my life
On and off
You're a bulb that's not dying and the switch is broken
I miss you
I miss you so ******* much
I wish you were around so that I could wish you dead
I wish you fought back death so that you could live until the end
With all of us
Your friends
Be with us
Why did you leave?
Why are you gone?
Why are you dead?
The only thing that has come of this tragedy
Is narcissism
You're gone
And I'm staying.
I'm surviving
I'm not thriving
I'm not steering
I'm not the same beautiful soul
You stupidly fell for
No, I am not the same.
But I am not dead
And that is what I wish you were instead.
Not dead.

Actions over words
What are words without fire
Fire that moves and burns the world
Licking the flames of your tragedies
And taking you towards a new forest
Where the pasts have burned
Touch the fertile ground of your new mind
Promote yourself from writer to soldier
Don't you dare take your time
Your next words would be your last
Your next move could be the first of firsts
The builder
The fighter
The mightier
The worthier
Everyone knows that glory is in being alive
The only thing more alive that words
Is your body moving to fulfill the words

Death song
CC Dec 2014
I can't believe all those times I let myself love
Open heart
Deserted parts
Broken pieces
Left to dry out
Like roses
For novelty?
For beauty?
For suchs stupid reasons
I can't begin to express how utterly egotistical it all is
Just because you're gone
Does not mean you are dead to me
You are alive and well
You are in my caged heart
You are the matter in my skull
You are the dirt under my nails
As I imagine
The world to be your grave

Blurry eyes
CC Jul 2015
The changed seem unreal
It seems to be changing me into some kind of monster
Life
I am so aware of the changes in me
If only I could see it in others as well
Then we could be tender
And meaty
Love could be changed
And life could be dreamy
Some kind of connection is what I crave
But I only see myself in the mirror
And imagine sometimes
That my blurry eyes
Are windows
Into someone else's life

Thump thump
CC Jun 2016
My heart beats for nothing
It beats to a rhythm that suits it
It is not fickle
It has no favorites
When it goes thump thump fast
It makes an effort to slow down
When its rhythm feels off
It tries to catch up and make up for lost time
When it feels pleased
It is immediately humbled
Or dissatisfied
My heart does not belong to my body
My body belongs to my heart.

Quest
CC Apr 2015
When we feel love
We feel pain as well
Pain from the ecstasy of feeling
Wanting to feel pain
As a result of guilt from being too happy
We end up thinking too many things
So why? My question is 'why?'
Why love?
When there is no escaping from the jaws of love
The hungry, starved lion of love
That seeks to be caressed and nurtured
The bawling infant, love
That is assumed to be a perfect child
Until it demands for more than your attention
She will grow to break your heart.
She will take from you everything
She will give back so close to your death
As you age and lose sensation in your hands
She will hold them
Her smile will reflect your missing teeth
Her tears will make you feel again
'O child' you will croak
'I see His face'
Her questioning eyes will ask
Of what grace, of what reason
Did you love this life?
When everything laced with God does but live
You have lost your sight
Your eyes betray your lack of grasp on reality
A stormy charade of time
Takes you slowly
Why? My question is 'why?'
Why love?
So far removed am I from Him
O mother leave me not
During this time of navigating the rocky waters of life
My soul will be laid out to dry
I need to be drenched by your presence
I long to remove all trace of sadness
All my memories were of the golden youth
That is locked in heaven
Returned to me only after the promise of death
O dear Lord why? My question is 'why?'
Why love what He must eventually take?
I am not finished
This question seeks wisdom
And wisdom is carved marble
It will be revealed in the end

I am adapting
So I never have to suffer your insults
Jests that come out of no where
That ride my eyes like a valley of soft peaches
Pure
You are pure
Everything I ever wanted
Cure
You're the cure
Everything I ever needed
Who am I to judge the ones that cover their faces
With hasty foundations on sand
I am an oasis
Where is your island?
Pure, you are pure
Everything I ever wanted
Cure, you're the cure
Everything I ever needed
You are casting a shadow on my eye
You are the lightning in my cloud
Above me, you make it rain
I will always call you vain

You are everything I ever wanted
Pure
You are sure

There is a wonder I have of creatures
The sky is ridden with stars
Can they see them?
And do they wonder and awe at the dots on what should be a blank sky

There is a wonder I have of mine
Is their dreaming before the dawn of time?
Are we dreaming in utero?
Who created our dreams?
Was there ever a time we did not exist
Is the past but a figment?

Call to arms
CC Sep 2016
How am I going to know all the things you want
You know I don't know how to read your mind
It's a struggle eating this rice
All I am is just them and the same
Heavily rest your breath on mine
My mouth touches yours and it blows my mind
I feel as if you can tell me all your secrets
But all I know is that there's so much kept
You were always just too open about nothing
Eyes
lids touching each other
Breaking his heart
Just so you could sweettalk peace out of war
Your heart was never open to any
But your ambition was forgotten when you saw the light of the exit sign
Settle down in my arms
CC May 2017
I'm not saying I don't think of you
I don't need to hear what you think of me
You've told me countless times how much you like me
But I'm just not buying it

How am I to discover to you
That I'm just not the girl for you
Because if I reveal to you
That I'm not into you
Then I'd be hurting your feelings

I'm not just some girl
I'm just not THE girl
Let me translate that for myself:
You're not just some guy
You're just not THE guy

Many times, I have pondered
Whether or not marriage is for me
Upon dating you once
I can say
I still am wondering

So that's me
I want to be somebody
I don't want to be somebody to you

Asking you to kiss me in your car
Wasn't a confession of admiration
I have a lot of walls up
That makes my confession a riddle
Easy to solve but beneath it is the truth

I have something I need confess
I'm a mess
Still, the fact that I'm an insecure mess doesn't mean I need reassurance that I'm not one
I don't need to hear that you like me
I don't need to kiss you and I don't need to let you know that I don't need a man
Take this like a man

I'm not into you

A bull in the field.
CC Apr 2017
My graces are not fulfilled when you are trying your best to assume that I am not confident, or smart and capable.

I am not sure if I need to label myself to be any of those characteristics but I know that I have pure faith.

It is undeniable that the world is not only senseless in the best of ways but that I am senseless in the oddest ways

How I want to be a guru in tidying. I can't tidy yet. My room is done but fails the standards and hopes I have for it.

Much like a child, who fails the standards and hopes parents had for her.

Many times I hope only to speak the truth and not in earnest. I hope to speak the truth in truth. Present tense.

Future tense is my enemy because the future never happens. She only disappears once within reach to turn into the horrible truth that is present day. She only then transfigures herself into disappointment when she has passed to become Past.

My former best friend called me a downer. I am, until today, a downer to those who I thought were my friends. I guess the standards and hopes were not met for my friends to be sponges of my anger.

I am not done. My anger, palpable. To those who don't know me, I seem quiet and nervous and sometimes laughing on the inside. Hopefully people notice.

Presently I aim to live outwardly and without gentility. Rough and troubled was my youth. Mud and tumble is/was my trademark. I want that from now on. To live in authenticity and without any restraints. A bull in the field. Explosive.

Try to make sense of this
CC Jan 2015
Desiring material things from this world
Instead of love and passions
Logic trumps everything
Being reasonable heals the mind
From the beating of the heart

The world has less to offer
When you strive for paradise
There’s something about the way
The waves undulate towards me
Coaxing me to die

I don’t like to read books that strain my heart
It would be such a waste of my precious peace of mind
If I even start
The song he’s singing
Helps me get over a heartbreak I’m remembering

I wish I had a lovely home
And a modern body
I get lost in these beautiful things
My brother told me love brings out the worst in us
And I didn't know that until you were dead
Wish I could describe the feeling in my head
Where my eyes are crying no more no more
There’s no heart in here
Instead it’s a bed made of lead
These are the things I hear
The hurtful truths they don’t spare
They are my medicine that daily I ingest

Messes
CC Nov 2017
It's the ones that get away that make you tap your ink on the screen
Helping themselves to servings of you to have you mercilessly dream
Succulent messy dishes that they mean to say
Descriptive rich adjectives that blur your mind away
So they devour you and everything you want to leave behind
They don't mean to but they say clearly what you are defined
They have all the hospitals holding broken hearts
And have you heard the rumors that they have no good start?
They are always in the middle
They never start or end
Forever making amends
Forever till they stop
Pretending is enough
If pretense is present tense
It's enough that they see you for who you are
It's enough if they find a real star
Blue and gaseous
They are so away so far

Refute
CC Dec 2014
The more i refuse to think

The less I feel

And somedays the feels aren’t important

But somedays I realize it isn’t organic anymore

That I’ve lost the ability to be

Catharsis is not unreal

Ennui can be vital

I am a contradiction of feelings

Because feelings don’t have continuity

They pass moment to moment

And it’s alright if you don’t catch them immediately

Pray for me

Because I don’t believe

Have faith in me

I don’t know how the feelings flow

I don’t know when it will hit me

I don’t know because I’m not in her shoes

When she finally took them off to jump

And gravity had it’s natural effect

I don’t know what that feels like

And I wish they were still alive to tell me they wish they hadn’t

Flowers growing
In my hair
Your hands
Running through

Snow falling
Styrofoam
It's like knowing
Going home
Where is home?
Do you have my address?

Hollow laugh
Sleep in ****
It's afternoon
We're at the park

So I said
Where's the next bus
Going back
To the way I came from

Shadow sleep
I'm lost in labyrinths
I can't speak
In tongues

Hope we pass
You are in my way
Hope we pass
Into who we are

I'm very scared of being lost
I'm terrified if I don't belong anywhere
Is there something I was not taught?
That I don't fit into the me shaped peg-hole
It's truly a struggle to become myself
I have no assurance that life will become what I have dreamt of it
I have no insurance because I have chosen to take the risk
Still, I live
I will go on living
In this will is my hope
That the path does not adapt to me
I did not choose what is easy
I will become like liquid to the path
And take it whichever way I am led
It is a path, is it not?
It is a way to somewhere
While I feel like nowhere
My goal is plain in sight
It only takes focusing my eyes
To the way that's right

My own two feet
CC Sep 2019
How can my feet hold up all my weight?
From my sick mind
To my weak heart
To my bloated stomach
To my heavy hands
My used ******
My tired legs
If the gods asked for my soul
I would say no
Take my feet
They will decide for you the weight my life

How can my feet hold the weight of my whole life?
I haven't got a clue how to be lighter
I'm sorry feet for being so tall and wide
You're only average sized
You'll have to give me my bearings
Bear with me
You'll need to carry me
When I have fallen down
You'll need to take me there
Even if I'm going nowhere
The other parts of my body have been carried by you to places
You've touched all kind of floors
Worn shoes out
Climbed flights of stairs
Rubbed against other feet
That's the only glamour this life
That and soft socks

And if I had no feet
I would need to make new ones anyway
Then my body would act as feet
Or my knees would act as feet
Trickling up it's strength to give me the grounded feeling we all seek

Pretty feet that have gone far in life
Working feet that have stayed put
Solid Feet who tread mountainous terrain
Broken feet which always are what a heart feels like only sometimes hopefully
If my spirit is broken
My feet don't dance
If my legs are crossed because they don't care to move
My feet will care for you
Bobbing up and down
In impatience
Waiting for changes
So she can plant herself down again
Allowing me to stand up for what I believe
Firmly planted on the ground
Prepared to do or not do
Prepared to walk with dignity
Prepared to run for my life

While my hands will always know the pleasantness of play
My favorite part of the day
Is when I take off my shoes
And they two are free to walk on wood
To rub against the fabric of my sheets
Feel the belly of my pet
To sleep
Till they wake again
They are the first to rouse
When they touch down
I know I can take on the day
To stand on my own two feet
feet strength willpower courage continue independence empowerment

Deeper and deeper into the gutter
I make out words I tend to stutter
My father tells me I write satire
I try to keep my mind towards  martyrs
I am so very fond of suffering
I don't mind pain it feels like an offering
An empty hand that is well received
My intention falls to the right of the aggrieved

Because I want to receive what I give
Even if you don't give it back
I have already taken by projecting
I have projected unto you
The person you wish to love
I am perfected in your eyes
I am molded using perception
It's true, it may sound selfish
But love is not for us
It's supposed to be good for me
Before it can be good for anyone

There are many thoughts that escape my conscience
I don't know where they escape to
The deep parts of my mind that I don't visit?

Rather than exercise my memory
I think my mind is strong
And it will be an ***** that will remain functioning
Once I turn into a vegetable
My mind will function and sin
It will fantasize fetishistic acts
Plot ******
Question God
Think condescending thoughts
When my father who is very kind
Cries over my cold unmoving mass
I will curse people I don't like with satan's words
I will write my eulogy
And no remorse will pass my preoccupied mind
And then let's see what will happen when I wake up

This salt is beautiful, crystallized spice
Flavor and glint
It pierces my eyes
Somewhat like a diamond
A fragment too small
Everything is added
With this grain of salt
When your skin is salty
It has the quality of the sea
Vast and wide and full
Full of sympathy
When I look at a mound of salt
It speaks to me of life
Life's sins become absolved
The dead need this solution
Keeping from decay
Celebrated salt adds to everything it sprays
Pain and flavor are hand in hand with salt
A wound, and slab of meat prefer the rougher brand
The texture of the sand and sea dissolved in me

Base feelings are monsters that live in my cage
I always draw second
I unveil
Virginity is a useless sacrifice
So, nobody feels uneasy anymore
Oh they know what self-adoration is
Yet, you are all about the crippling spine that needs to jettison out my back. Crack!
Fear is what fuels your 1962's Colt with stolen gasoline
When I ride it I am on the minute
It drops me off on the line of fire
Flames light up in my lungs
You shout "Here are my reasons, understand, see"
That creeping sensation of the ugliest kid in class watching me behind my ear
Makes me horrified
A basket case of emotion
I cannot stress enough
It's the things I do not want to happen
Like resurrecting insects and then killing them again
Nightmare to my time so I stop moving, like, paralyzed
Fearful is the edge of the knife
Peeling back my ***** as I feel its blade cuts thin
Every slice a feeling creeping in
It abuses my skin
Replaced by a shroud of music that I sing to wheedle out
So you can continue to say I "Live in sin, live in sin"
You needed me afraid, so I became brave
You needed me small, so I became big

Pray for peace
For control is not within the hands of one
But the hands of many
Compete with yourself
Do not be ashamed of your sins
Have sympathy for those who are dying
For those who have had their youth kidnapped from them
Always pray
Praying is not just for the religious
It's for those who need to ask themselves to be strong
So they can go on
There is something sad about today
Maybe it's the fact that
My country is one ***** loose from falling apart
And all we can resort to is discussing politics
Uninspiring topics that are meaningless
We should be discussing about what inspires us
About how great old songs are on our trips home from work
But new songs are like cold showers to wake us up

What makes me feel alive
Is forgetting I need to impress anybody
To forget that I am surrounded by con-artists
To be a joy to others
Because I am a joy to myself
I don't always succeed
Sometimes we can be insufferable
I know I can be an unapologetic *****
But I can be sorry for those times

Since I was young
I was always passionate
Where has my fire gone?
Is it out?
So I pray for peace
I pray for myself
I pray for self-control
For control over my weaknesses
And to have freedom to use my strengths
Without fear of judgement
I am not inconsequential because I choose to live a life that is enough
I am just content to be happy with enough
there is an argument on always in my head about the plight of people who need god
they are always asking for god

it's not money it's not a leader it's not god

Where I can't begin to say
How thankful I am

How can I thank those who've seen me through the haze?
The days when I was not myself were when they were most present
Let me name them friends
Even though some have ceased to consider me one
I'm sorry for all the things that I've done

I know I mustn't run
When the days get too heavy
You taught me how to fend for myself
You teach me how to ask for help
You all taught me how to be myself again

A refugee from the storm
I understand now the meaning of friendship
Even though this type of thing is thinner than blood
My blood owes itself to those who have kept it
Warm and unharmed

Money meant dirt to me
And dirt meant the World

Without prejudice

Go hand in hand patiently
I went away

Mind astray
Is there a way to win?
Is there a way to make it?
We're all stuck to this ground
That we end up in
I urge you
Not to let your kite fly too high
Or God with cut you down
I urge you
Not to dream too big
Lest you persevere through the chisel of painful perfecting
It's all I've learned
It's hardship
I take these steps
Inside this safe room
Four walls
Made of doors
This is my life
I lie much
Or the truth becomes inflated
It floats higher and higher
Until nothing is left
Everything given to a life of imagination

I can do better it's all in my brain
I can do better it's all just the same

There is a heaving sigh of relief
When all is lost and nothing is found
When the will is set free and nothing awaits
When I am told and I do not do
There is a space and there is claustrophobia
When you are whispering that thought in my ear
While you say it with shouting
Frustration is what I am most fond of
Why so?
Because when we are down
We stay down
And that is the only time I can say
I lived through the shots
The bullets were avoided
It bruised my ego
But I was not hiding
More like, surviving.
We are mostly Anthrophomorphic
We are mostly Hedonistic
We want what feels proud
What feels right
But that is comfort
Nobody grows from comfort
I lecture myself
It is painful
It is the worst
And I know
I am going no where
It is the worst
But we live in these times and times are hard
There is only strength
To grit our teeth
And stay alive

So you're allergic to dust
CC May 2016
Ha-choo!
Every sneeze feels new and unexpected
We feel it coming but sometimes it doesn't
Sometimes we don't even know what's coming out
Or where it's coming out from
Or maybe it'll be accompanied by a little gas
Or a little more than what we bargained for
After we let it out 1, 2 more might come out
An allergy whose true form is an embarrassment
Especially in the silent crowds of concert halls
Sneezes are gifts
We don't know if we want it
But we know that we accept
Lest something horrible might happen
Accept every urge and be blessed when you least expect it
I love to sneeze
Bless you
This poem is a good feeling. Like after a sneeze.

In a place I know
They know me too
But they don't know you
It's easy if you're a stranger
But then who said that things with wings were supposed to stay on the ground
If you had flown down to me then it would be the way you look at me that would make me stay
It's easier
Then again
Who said it's supposed to be
There is a time when you haven't really seen me
Outside where the stars are barely seen
There, you start to know that maybe you haven't really done anything to get to know me
You're mostly full of spices
And I'm mostly full of vices
In the end the mixture makes for something that's acquired
The tongue can't get used to eating something so desired
It's the way you look at me that's makes me stay
It's the way you look tonight that makes me stare
Then in the end
We don't know the notes that linger
It maybe because this kind of feeling
Doesn't lift a finger

Thinking
CC May 2015
One of those people that I need to get away from
Is you.
One of the people who make me feel high
Is you
There is an effect your words have on me
I can't stop listening
To be free I am poised towards you
Instead I run away to be free from the truth
That love conquers me

This is the first day with you
This is the last day I will be without you
Home is alone with you
Senses drowning in your warm presence
It's an ocean
Pure and true
There is only you
In my mind
In my hand are the lines to a song
You will sing with me won't you?
There is nothing left to give
That you would not lose
You will sing won't you?
With me in this protest
Against the choices they are making
Oh my god, I am through being alone
Being without you
The time has come for me to live with the population
My spirit, the death of me, has gone to be with you
Only my body remains without you
Give me something to be with
Your words last forever, I'm serious
Give me someone to be with
"Adults don't cheat, children are weak"
Don't say, you agree.
There is no more child left inside of me
How can we be
Freedom tastes like it smells
Hope as perfume fills my nostrils
Memories of you, I keep flooding back to you

One of those people that I need to get away from
Is you.
One of the people who make me feel high
Is you
There is an effect your words have on me
I can't stop listening
To be free I am poised towards you
Instead I run away to be free from the truth
That love conquers me

Pinky promise
CC Aug 2015
You hand me a pamphlet for the heart you're selling to the mob
Nobody wants it, everyone wants to show you their cool shoulder

It's beautiful to see you out on the field
Your heart on the line
Trying to stop the flatline from being and ending
You know the stories don't end well for those like yourself
It's mostly more for the father you never had
For the faith you want so bad to have
To forgive yourself for being too late
For lasting this long without trying

Life has an edge and its knife cuts your wound open like a sore
Letting out the past like a demon from the past
Trying to let myself go and you let me go on
Let's be friends again like we were before
Innocence is not on the menu this time
We are grown-ups
Let's try again
Let's swear again
Pinky promises last until you pass on to the next life
There's nobody to interpret the scent of your sweat
All I know is I have what you bet
You are all of me swept off my feet
Let me sweep you off yours
Let's give each other a chance

lost/found
CC Oct 2017
Who cares if we are lost?
The translation is a sign
The train of thought was thin
Who cares what words are said?
We packed light
Enter forests cradled in the mountain range
Keep your childish laughter
Leave your drunken meal
Drank river into waterfall
I have nowhere, no war
How to exit?
*****
How to enter?
Clean
Land has lost
Sign out the hive
Retired
Bees are so alive
Wire traps the treason
Factory line sublime
I am a social creature
Frequenting the mall
Travel is my heaven
The lights up in the sky
Driven by a dream
Something I can find
Elsewhere and else who

Never Forgot
CC Sep 2014
You love me
Did you forget?
You said you'd never
Did you forget?
I did nothing
Did you remember?
Because of all you gave me
You remember
You said I changed
Did you forget?
You said I'm different
Did you forget?
It's time we parted
Oh yea, it's dark here
Turn on the light
I think I forgot
Now I remember
You've been dead 6 years

Buds

It's hard to get the hang of life
Because it is pain
So mostly I like to be terrified
Or terrify
It's all the same to me
Praying that I have a friend
Someone who will always be there
Praying that I will not be alone
So I have something to show in reunions
Hopefully I can digest these feelings
That don't really seem to be there
How am I going to find myself
When what I fear
I already am
There is freedom in acceptance
There is no wrong to right
I am a flower
Aching to bloom
There are just flowers
That don't bloom so soon

Love is Human
CC Aug 2015
Love is human
Love is pride
Love is perfectly blind
Love is giving up your smile
Love is giving to others your time
Prayers are hopeful kisses to the sky
Slow and painful they choose a lullaby
Half a loaf for my family
Half for me
Love is human
Love is pride
Love is trying to be blind
Love is painful
Love hurts
Love is mostly taking what others deserve
Don't you know Love is cold-blooded?
Love has a name
He was named after you
Love is a curtain over us
Love is certain when you give it up
Love is tricky
Love is a bluff
Love is made of unbreakable stuff
(Unbreakable stuff)
(Unbreakable stuff)
(Unbreakable stuff)....
