you were never mine.
you will never be mine
you will always be yours

maybe one day
I'll be lucky enough
to be "mine"
lying next to you while
you're being "yours"
Flowing in my veins
Your electric smile
Awakens my soul

An elaborate  heart
sewn on your camo sleeve.

         fall down deep into a

Tears, rage,
bottled up emotions.
All pour out.
All explode out
from within you.
There is no hope.
There is no joy.
Everyone is
out to get you.
You have no friends.
They all hate you.
You’re not good at anything.
You are...
      Worthless.
        
         Up,
     Up,
  Up,
               You’re on top of the world.
          Life is swell,
          and everything is a grand joke.
          Crying from laughter,
          not from sadness.
          Dancing about,
          feeling…
        Good.
        
          But knowing it’s only
          a matter of time until
          you descend back down,
                                                down,
     ­                                                 down.
It’s strange.
I want to write elegant poetry
That rhymes
With metaphors
And all the fancy poetic devices

But whenever I start a poem
That I planned on writing
More eloquently
And fancy

It always comes out
Random
Without form
Or anything special

Sometimes I’ll get lucky
And have a few good lines

I used to be annoyed by that
But now
I don’t care
I just want to write my poetry
Gazing at the cracks of my shattered mirror
reflects the echos that haunt my tortured soul....
Sometimes I write,
Sometimes I sing.
Sometimes I exist...
Without ever being.

Sometimes I laugh,
even when I cry.
Sometimes I live,
when I wish to die.

Sometimes I crawl,
When I know I should walk.
Sometimes I'm silent,
Sometimes I just don't talk.
