Nameless
You do not know me,
so you think I am strong.
You do not know me,
so it won't take very long.
Because you see
like most things
under pressure,
I also tend to break.

she says -
if i carve your name onto my ribcage in the morning before the sun comes up will it come true? will it **** you this time?
maybe ill lie down so that you can pick me apart,
fingernails breaking on my iron skin
would you like that?

I found myself missing
someone who used to
like all the little things
about me, so I went on
a little scavenger hunt
picking up bobby pins
and crunched up leaves;
a couple old CDs and
a bunch of little words
left unsaid; a tiny music
box and a ton of old
pictures that are the only
pieces left as proof and
all the little things were
laid out and added up
only to disappear in an
instant because they do
not even resemble who I
am anymore —
who am i
who
am
i

You followed sweet temptation over the edge
into the dark, warm water.
You tried to climb my body to save yourself.
Even once you had been lifted out,
damp and shaking and frightened
you swooped down
on that bloated, abandoned mass
of oatmeal and raisins
and gulped it down with the frantic abandon
of a dog that has just ****** in the face of death.
My dog once almost killed herself over an oatmeal cookie. True story.
I can fake my identity and try to look happy,
but its all just a cover.
Take a swig from the flask and remove the last mask
only to find another.

There was once a time when I knew myself,
but now I'm not so sure.
All semblance of self-worth lay eroding in the dirt,
and its all thanks to her.

It's not really her fault, I'm truly to blame.
I grew selfish out of fear.
Afraid of being alone, I couldn't let her go
and now she's nowhere near.
A quick freestyle that I did.
who cares if the spaghetti sticks to the ***
who cares if a guest shows up late
it's not her 18th birthday
it's my baby brother's
and I'll wear my nose ring if I want to
jesus ******* christ woman
#edit
I'd like to point out that I dont give a ****

Do you know what you do to me?
Do tell....

HEAR MY HUMBLE CRY
HEAL MY WOUNDED HEART
DO NOT PASS ME BY

MY HEARTS BROKEN IN TWO
AND FALLS THE SILENT TEARS
SAVE ME WITH THY LOVING GRACE
FORGIVE MY SINS ALL THESE YEARS!

PLEASE LORD PASS ME NOT!
