Will I ever be the one
who gets to hold you tight
Will I ever be the one
to hear your last goodnight
Will I ever be the one
who’s hand you gladly take
Will I ever be the one
next to whom you wake
Will I ever be the one
that holds you when you cry
Will I ever be the one
that never hears goodbye
Will I ever be the one
to whom you give yourself
Will I ever be the one
in sickness and in health
Will I ever know the reason
that our paths were meant to cross
Will I ever know the gain
that is someone else’s loss

It's a beautiful day
I've been wasting away.
Sitting in silence,
All thoughts are astray.
I think to myself of the time I have lost.
I think of great things and how much they will cost.
And how can it be the body can't afford?
The things that my soul will try to adore.
It's all time and money. These things I don't have.
When I'm dead and rotting I'm sure I'll be glad.
When space-time is time-space and nothing exists.
Even though it's all there and my thoughts will persist.
Then I won't worry of the waste I've become.
There won't be emotion inside the ashram.

I stood in the sun
and thought of you
and of my junebug heart.
It clings on, unshakable,
even after it’s death.

And you like that about me,
my junebug heart that is.
You think you have one too.
I know that you don’t.
Yours is fleeting.

Sometimes I ******* hate you.

The feeling lasts longer and longer each time you snap.

I’m bigger, stronger than you now, but I still can’t stop you.

After all, you are the monster under my bed. The claw round the door, the matted fur and blood in the sink.

You are the bad man.

And that is how it will always be.

You are illogical, unreasonable. You defy rules you impose unto others.

I’ve endured a lifetime of this abuse, And you don’t even apologise the next day anymore.

Because you’ve found a hook, something to blame for your fuckups.

That hook is me.

And so, as you spit in my face, with beer in your blood, you are blameless in your mind.

Hate pushes the shame away.

It just saddens me that I’ve done nothing but forgive you all this time, and all you can do is hate me.
For the man who lied his way into my heart,
and drank his way out.

For my father.

Yes, no
Two simple Words
And I did not say either
Lying there
Suffocating
My heart pounding on fire

My mind screaming
Wishing i was somewhere else
Wishing someone would save me
Tears streaming down my face
My whole body shaky

He took what was mine
I can never get back
A gift that is no longer
Now that he is out of my life
I hope this makes me stronger

I slit my wrist on my writing hand,
And the letters all poured out.
They spread across the page
Until no white is left.
Now what's that all about?

The letters poured and poured
And, I was almost dead.
I looked down upon my page
Content that it was read.

A party.

The floor is starting to roll from underneath me..
I can't see
Through the fog.
The music is pumping
Throughout my veins.
My heart is set,
On vibrate.
My lungs might explode,
As the drug takes it's toll.
And the walls start to move,
Now I'm down on the floor..
Where is my friend?
Why did she leave?
Chelsea?
This guy helps me up,
As he fills up my glass.
I sip at the *****,
And dance to the beat.
I spill my drink.
He laughs at me,
And pulls me aside,
Asking me if I want a good time.
I think he means ***,
But possibly drugs.
And drugs,
Make everything twice as fun.
I asked if he's holding,
He said he was.
But only if,
I
Can
Please.
Exchange *** for drugs,
Man that sounds kind of rough..
But I do it.
And it was,
Fun.

These people-
******* teens-
Can get the ****
Away from me.
Gossip and hormones,
STD's,
These kids
Will be the death of me.
They laugh at the weak
And worship the rich.
They don't have a job,
But they get what they wish.
Designer purses, and wallets and shoes.
Buckle jeans, skinny and lean,
'Cause they can afford healthy foods.
"My car has a scratch, daddy.
Buy a new one."
While I'm 17 years old,
Working a part time job,
Walking to school.
With pants 3 sizes to big,
Because I can't afford food,
So I don't eat at all.
I have bills to help pay,
Because my parents are broke.
And the only fun I get,
Is when I can smoke,
And when I get pills,
And when I can work.
I hate this ****,
It's so annoying,
Explaining why my mommy,
Can't afford me a ride..
Can't afford me a home,
Or a haircut,
Or glasses.
I walk home from school blind,
But I can't see their *****,
Driving by.
With all the expensive luxuries..
