I find it disturbing that,
When God created man,
The wise Lord gave us Maths.
But we became calculative and used it to keep tabs.

He also gave us Languages,
But we too found ways to be ****** and rude.

Strangely, he gave us Science,
Thinking that it would improve our world,
But all we did, was try to disprove him.

Oddly, he created Technology,
For awhile, that worked well,
But even with that,
It now tries to replaces the very humans that he created,
With scraps of metal.

Are we truly on a one way street to destruction?
Why...
i used to know where to go.
even when I was always alone.
I'd find a place to go to.
I'd let my feet take me where it would lead me.

I never felt lost
Never felt alone.

But then you came out of nowhere,
Grabbed my hand, and lead me to places
I am not familiar with

And like a lost dog, I followed you around.
Learned every place you would bring me to.

You were the magnet, and I was the stray metal that can't help but get attracted to you.

But eventually, you felt the weight of the metal,
And got tired of it.

You forced the metal off of you.
You left her in the middle of nowhere.

I used to know where to go.

Before you came, I used to know where to go.

Now, I just feel lost.
Alone.
Yearning for the magnet that once lured me in.

Misunderstandings hurt your heart
They tear at friendships
Pull souls apart!

So if you do not understand
Reach out and ask
Show your hand!

Between what you mean
And what you say…
Amend the stick!

Don’t just walk away!
"Between what is said and not meant, and what is meant and not said, most of love is lost." Khalil Gibran

It is a strange feeling, wanting to die but not being selfish enough to **** yourself. It is not a good feeling and it is not a bad feeling. Just strange. Like wanting to step out of a moving vehicle but the door is locked, and you're the one who locked it.

It's liberating, in a sense. To sever those stringy limbs that are clutching on to life and all its irrelevant attachments. Unbinded by society. The friendly release of death, all the familiarities of living still in tact. Immortality stolen directly from the suicide note. Shot through the heart, but still very much full of life.

Some pathetic hermaphrodite of irony and despair.

I think it stems from this futile awareness of a futile existence. I could live with a futile existence, but by some divine cosmic punishment am forced to be aware of my place within society. My place being an insignificant cell in a cell. And no body cares about a single cell within it. If one cell dies, it won't even notice it's gone, but simply continue as it was. But I refuse to give it the power to ignore my death. To stay alive is rebellion. To love and to live, in spite of life, is pure anarchy.

I want the blood I shed to mean something.
Is it bad that I wonder what people would say, how they'd react if I was gone?
I'm not being dark. I'm musing.

I don't want to be a thorn in anyone's side, I don't wish for attention that sometimes I forget I need.
I'll be sitting, music blasting out the demons, and realize I've forgotten to eat. To sleep. To breathe.

It's to the point where it's almost not sad anymore, you know? Like I've forgotten how it was before this cloud became something that'd stay with me forever. And it's at coasting, numb points like this where I honestly don't even know if I want to feel better. What is better, anyways?

And they always tell me I have so much to live for. And I do, that's the only reason I don't go. It's not the fact that I'd miss so much about my life and everything that I have before me to accomplish.

I don't want to hurt anyone by leaving, even though my hurting would be over. This is the one area where I wish my incessant selfishness would take over.

So, pardon my venting, pardon my sad songs, pardon my black and white photos. There isn't much silence, happy music, or color in my life right now. And I'm okay with it, as much as the pain stabs, it's more of a dull pain.

Maybe one day I'll understand how it is to feel again. Maybe. No one would have even known  if I hadn't had an outburst, let my selfishness take over in a thundercloud of confusion. It won't happen again, I can't let it. I can bottle feelings. Letting go is harder. They didn't know, it needs to be that way. They need to be protected~<3

*And she cried,
"Kiss it all better, I'm not ready to go
It's not your fault, love
You didn't know, you didn't know"
Lyrics from Kiss It Better by He is We. I've been listening to this song nonstop lately. And this poem is more of a vent session than anything, for which I apologize. I guess these are the words bobbing around in my head I wish could surface to my lips. I wish I could send them playlists, then maybe they'd understand what I'm having so much trouble saying. Hell, I don't even know what I'm saying.
