Am I just a wheel?
Consuming meals?
A speck in blue sea?
Bound by what I see?
Life amongst trees?
Breathing means free?

Am I my beliefs?
The truth I seek?
Flag of a country?
Defined by currency?
A liability?
Part of society?

Am I what you see?
The way you judge me?
The values you pick?
First impressions stick?
Norm defined by you?
Do I dare to be rude?

No...

I am who I choose.
I fill my own shoes.
I win when I lose.
I create my own views.
I see black beyond blue.
I pick me over you.

Who are we?
I am me.
Who are we?
Depends on you.

autumn
When it's over
And you have
All but moved on
You change my plans.

Recanting every word
And every bruise.

Your tune changes
Faster than the song ends
And I am caught
Like a fly in your web.

Here's to our familiar suffering.
Let it begin again.
My heart just vomited
I can feel the words coming up my throat
Talk to you
I shouldn't but I know I will
I'm always so weak
Who knew the thing I chose to be my reason to live
Would also be the reason I'm breaking again
I want to flush your memory down the toilet
You're at a distant pace
Maybe I'm just too clingy
Maybe we need the space
I'm being persistent in my unstable ways
It's best for me to be alone
But you're my last glimpse of hope
That's why it's so hard to let you go
But I know I have to
I'm going to fail horribly but here is attempt 6 of trying to leave...
I filled the bathtub with tears last night
I'm not getting over this
(yes I am)
Is it possible to miss someone so much you're torn apart
(many can attest)
Why does my love always end up with the broken?
Why am I always drawn to the lost
(I'm searching for something imperfect)
I know the cost
(and pay I will)
I filled the bathtub with tears last night
Cause I just want the cycle to end
(no more emotions)
My life has no meaning
And I can't give it any, but you can
And I've never been good at leaving but I should be
You do it best and it's in your title to resign
(cause forever is a lie)
So tonight my friend I am filling the tub with tears for you
(which is unavailing)
And I cried too much last night
(won't ever do that again)
I don't ever want to feel again
(cause to feel is real and it's useless)
My brain is so sick
(I cannot find solace)
The problem is like fog
Hard to see through and thick
Just keep on crying about a mess that's not meant to be clean
Don't repeat the same mistakes
(i'll end up alone)
Life was always a dream
Just not the sweet kind
The kind where your tears overflow
(my heart was meant to be forlorn)
And you drown in your own sorrow
(despair my home)
I'm so tired of being sad, my new goal is to write something happy, hopefully I succeed, someone asked me "why do you focus on pain?" Well it's simple that's the only thing I ever feel strongly enough to truly write about. I want that to change. I want to write something beautiful again but not just something that shows the beauty of sadness but something that shows the beauty of the joys in life and I know I've felt them before it's just been a while and that's pretty ungrateful of me so really I have no room to extentuate myself ...
One by one
The petals fall
From the heart of man
Taking with them
The sun and shine
Leaving a desolate land
Their sweet fragrance
Fermenting in arid desert
Where noc is ruler
Green grass obsolete
Dry as cotton
This heart of sand
Rain doesn't quench
This thirst
This ache
It cleans nothing
Leaves only a muddy hand
A soul that cries
With eyes now dry
A hand to which
No one holds
A permanent desert
Where roses die
And grass not grow
This barren
Heart of sand
To let go of one you love is a death without a death. Stay strong my friend.
