She wins...
She always does

After a long busy stay
From missing her all day
I go home to her
And she's there, she's always there,
Patient, soothing and tender
Luring me to bed...
As I fight her charms,
Trying to stay up; workaholic impulse raging!

I win...
For a moment or so

Daring to focus
For a couple more hours
Desperate not to give in
At least not without a fight.
She peeks out from our bedroom
Sneaking up from behind,
As I snooze momentarily
But I can't win this fight, there's no use trying!

Accepting defeat, I embrace her
Letting her caress me

She entraps me all night
I'm lost, against my will
I know I'll wake up guilty,
Wishing I could send her away
But I'm stuck with her for life
And she takes so much of my time
Time I could use for work
But no, she won't let go; not when I always yield!

And no, she's not my wife
She's not even my girlfriend
Not some girl from across the street
Just a nobody, named Sleep!

What were you thinking?
the plane it is still missing they cant find a thing
now there using submarines to try and find a ping
it has been a while now nothing has been found
it could take a lifetime to search in so much ground
families non the wiser as to where the plane as gone
no ones giving up the search it still goes on

I walked upon broken glass to prove myself to thee, cause if I can’t then who the **** would wanna believe? Someone as young as me. Someone as dumb as me. You tried to show me who to be. I shattered the mirror and told him he’s what I didn’t need. I got you down on both knees, you're begging me please. I shouted out I’m hungry. Lets feast. Let go of the beast and I let him eat. I’ll separate your bones from the meat. The hearts from the weak. Now you’ve planted a seed in me, and it exceeds all I thought I could handle of misery. It just keeps growing as it consumes me. And if you didn’t see it takes a keen eye to see, and I'll get hurt again as long as I continue to breathe. But my eyes as bright as the stars I see. But who else but me could see the emptiness between. I still got some fight left, but I’ll go down eventually. Softly I'll say as I fall asleep, “I’d do it all again, just you wait and see."

You sat there and laughed at every joke I told. I smiled with when I saw the crinkling of your nose. I'm surprised that I was able to talk with my stomach full of roses. I can't write angrily anymore. Now I just sit upstairs alone and lock my door. Maybe one day I'll use up all the air in here. You can't scare me, I've got nothing to fear. Nothing to lose. No one around to loosen the noose I tied myself to hang from the roof, but I can't stand the sight of you. The one in the reflection. I see myself by day and night, as a constant contradiction with a worsening condition of my overwhelming confliction of emotion. It ***** that I hold on to every word you say. Because no matter who it is, you'll treat the next one the same way. So let me be the next one, cause you're the only one I wanted today.

I don't think you'll ever get the reasons that I stayed
I don't think you'll comprehend the decisions I have made
Sure I have taken hits, but as you see I've survived
So I refuse to fall down now and say that I have died
I'm so one sided when it really counts
And it's just a habit that I can't break now
I'd say it all, if I only knew how
And if I spoke, you wouldn't hear a sound
So if I decided this'd be my last?
How fast would you get here to make today last?

It's up to us to make the first step
To be the change we wish to see
So please forgive me
If I choose to yell when I speak
Because I believe that only with force
Can we teach each other
The world is not as scary as you think

A human only means as much as their monetary value.

I don’t think I can explain my thoughts in this little amount of time. I’m so sick of giving my time to give a piece of my mind to these people who don’t even read between the lines. I mean, I’m not a boy who writes the same old ****. Every single day I write about a new topic, and now my candles lit and I’m about to light this wick on my brain like a dynamite stick. Today, you’ll be another outlet for me to vent *******. This’ll be as straight forward as it gets. *******. That’s it.
That's a hundred words.

Sometimes when I'm alone
I dream that I'm at home
And maybe one day I'll find where I belong
If my thoughts start to scream
I'll show you just what they mean
With scars amongst me, I know where I went wrong

I'm just not sure how to fix myself. I'm a broken mirror trapped in myself. I'm don't know that I can make it. It's fight or die; make or break it. If you could help me forget you, I'll help you forget me too.

I'll show you just who I am
What truly makes a man
Not just another pathetic human being
You make me think I'm broken
But you make me think that I'm useless
So how can you claim you cared at all for me

I'm just not sure how to fix myself. I'm a broken mirror trapped in myself. I'm don't know that I can make it. It's fight or die; make or break it. If you could help me forget you, I'll help you forget me too.

You don't deserve to live another day.
You don't deserve to see me again.
Never.

I'm just not sure how to fix myself. I'm a broken mirror trapped in myself. I'm don't know that I can make it. It's fight or die; make or break it. If you could help me forget you, I'll help you forget me too.
