fuck you bro
collin May 2015
why the **** do you want to be friends all of a sudden?
what kind of ******* fool do you take me for?
maybe you're trying to get close
so you can memorize my strategies
and use it against me.
or did you just want to show off the
stupid giant ******* teddy bear you won
well congrats, i hope it animates and kills you in your sleep

with every wisp and tail
flickering and disappointing
littering the air with kissed feelings
my sleepy eyes succumb
to shade and lack there of
the flinting glimpses of whisks
my bones are numb
I have become.

the days we live for
collin May 2015
when each cheddar fry
tastes better than the last
and each song on spotify
reminds you of the past
not the bad parts, the ones that spend a discounted rent to live in your heart
you invite the sunshine
and the cool spring breeze
and they show up hand in hand
with diamonds in their teeth
that's when you'll see
you're okay

i'm going to dance
i'm going to sing along
i'm going to win more than i lose
i'm talking about beer pong
we're going to laugh
until our cheeks grow new muscles
we're going to defend
each other when the locals want to tussle
they're going to hate us
for generating so much light
they're going to say
we shouldn't have picked this fight
you're going to question
every stumbling thought i verbalize
you're going to wish
for a snooze button on the sunrise

the cold has become
less like needles in my skin
more like fuzzy ear muffs
i haven’t forgotten
i stopped nodding off
during the lessons
i’ve gotten more attentive
to my own intentions
and things that draw my attention
not to mention, i maintained the heart
in my possession

and a breeze rides down, cool relief

i watched a documentary today
about the rise
to fame
and fortune
and pride
then the violent drug-induced collapse
into an existential depression and
a shallow grave
family and friends joined along
concerned they all gather around
*you've been staring in this mirror
for hours now, please come down

collin May 2015
i set out to exercise
or exorcise the demons
of the weekend
they were sleeping
they thought they got away with it
what i found in the
earliest hours of the day
was the world glazed
over with golden rays
that say good morning
to the joy and love
and hate hiding in the shade
and scares them all away
as they disperse with the shadows

i'm counting every breath now
each one bringing me closer to death now
there's a searing pain in my lungs
if they collapsed and i collapsed
i'd become the fortunate son
we're no longer talking in terms of days or weeks or months
but rather minutes and hours
i've lost my will to speak
and the air we breathe is sour
i don't think i'll make it
i want to tell you how i really feel
because it's killing me to fake it

collin May 2015
i could
rhyme every word
it would
be absurd
but i could do it
to sound fluent
and appease
these more traditional fans
of poetry
a theme i'll never understand
it seems the mainstream
will always be a dream to me
so i'll stick to my style
and what i've learned
the quickest way to get
my misled emotions on paper
a little bit of obscurity
with a rhyme here and there
to keep myself aware
that i am mediocre at best

a tiny affliction presented itself
the bottle off the shelf sang
i didn't know there were thorns
on the vegetation where it hangs
a flower. for you. from me.

i know it's not much
a touch of something
my eyes have a mind
of their own now
and only know
your captivating browns

i still need someone. nothing has changed.

undone with this phone call
i sat, fun was gone and so were you
and you have no clue the solitude
discovered in discovering smothering
can be flattering when your mother
didn't do it enough. another media
for me to subliminally expand on
attention span drawn out and drawn on
i'm gone now a new dawn is sawing

the frustration is indescribable
i say as i attempt to describe it
when you're dissected and spilled
on a table and everything that was
once inside is now out and you
worked very hard to get that way
and nobody sees the masterpiece
in your own mind that you've created

yet you could half-hearted sneeze
and people might gather in mobs
to see the tiny piece of you that escaped
without any effort on your part

i spent a day away
and after that, all i can say

itching for a hurt you never had

how tucking dumb of me to think my absence
would make your heart grow fonder
imagine my surprise when you found
delight at the sight of me underground

he feels the grimy grasp
as god must have given up
nothing seems as fun to him
as it was when he was young
colors have lost their hues
and music has lost its cues
the towers which once were idolized
now don't seem so huge
he would've taken the dive already
had it not been for one question
that plagued the poise of this vagabond
what led to this digression?
but he knew the answer
written in an envelope
and set aflame

I thought about cold toes on linoleum
Insincere notes on a podium

Sent to bed but still on wooden steps
Telling stories of policies left unsaid

i saw it through tears
in the rear view mirror
i migrated to the great south
at the ripe age of ten
a heavy heart and impressionable mouth
it wasn't long before i picked up a pen
i'd love to write about home
but it's hard to know what that is
when you were living on the road

with the demeanor of a centipede
you intervene and impede on everything

your sympathy is a foreign thing
i’ve never seen an evil being
be so in touch with what i’m feeling
