they tell me i'm broken
then don't try to fix me
they tell me i'm dying
then walk away quickly
and what a hard truth it is to find
that mama doesn't love me
and daddy said goodbye
grandma doesn't care
and now i'm going to die
they can't see that i'm drowning
to them i'm already gone
but here i am floundering
i can't carry on
i've lost all sense of hope
i can't live a lie
pills or a rope?
what's the best way to die?
but now you've come along
with those beautiful eyes
your words like a song
you break through my disguise
your hand against mine
gives me a thrill
you make me realize it's not me
that i want to ****
you pick me up
and carry me through
and now there is something that i need to do
do i tell you i love you
and wait for the pain?
or do i keep on pretending
and open my veins?
i need you
i miss you
i'm longing to kiss you
because you said i'm not broken
but you still tried to fix me
you said i'm not dying
and stayed around even though i am sickly
and you say that you love me
and you'll never tell me goodbye
you tell me you care
and you won't let me die

you say i'm a *****, but you're a misogynist who thinks "*****" is the worst thing you can be
but it's not like you're smart, and you don't have a heart, so drive your *** back to D.C.
the government thinks it's funny, they have all the power and money
ha, honey, let me tell you: your power is nothing, if you don't have that something
that your people are willing to fight for
you kick down the poor
and bully the weak
it's no wonder we hate the words that you speak
and you're not concerned, but the people have learned
we're more clever than you and i think you know it too
and you will  never understand
the courage of a desperate man
so here's to the "*******", the "*******", the "*****"
the homeless, the hungry; who can't stand this country
because of the white men who think they're in charge
well it's time for a change; this needs to end, you must make amends
because the ones you used to spite? well we've got some bite and we're ready to fight
because we're not all men and we're not all white
so clean off your glasses and get off of your *****, boy, are you in for a show
i think you know where this is going; our power is growing
and everyone knows how this ends
the villains will lose and we will pull through
don't underestimate this group of friends
because sure i'm a ***** but i get **** done
**** with me and i'll **** with you
the roles have reversed, turns out there is something worse
now look who's holding the gun

rained-on parade
Pry me open.

Use a chisel and a hammer,
a surgical retractor,
or just your effortless words,
but please just
pry me open.

And cut into me,
make me bleed.

Open me up,
let the emotions flow.
There will be a mess on your floor,
please don't mind it.

Just let all of melancholia shed
itself out of the confinement of my
tightly guarded chest.

Please don't stop.

Pry me open.
Let me bleed out.

God knows,
I will feel anything.

Anything but this.

Once in a while,
I'll be out late at night,
Staring at the twinkling stars,
My mind wandering to every aspect of life.
My mind wandering to the only two I can trust.
Their pain so real
And so much more than my own.

So, as I sit there staring at the stars,
I wonder why I got blessed with them.
Those two who keep me alive,
When I feel like I'm nothing more than another pain to them.

A shooting star goes by
And I wish their pain gone.
I wish that I could take their pain for them
And make them forget me.
So it will be easier for them
When I'm finally gone.

Silence is dangerous
Imagination is fear driven
Waiting is second to anxiety
I hate you

Everyone loves a poem
But much more when its sung

If you want to be remembered
Better to hum than flick your tongue
