breathless
it grips you with a cold blade
tight around your throat
no screams escape;
no pleas get out-

nothingness; no sound.

. . . the whispers threaten;
your pulse quickens
"I'm a failure,"
"I'll never make it."

stops. turns to:

"no one wanted you anyway,
so why are you still fighting me?"

fragmented as it may be,
you turn away; ashamed.
frightened. in pain.

but suddenly-
a voice, growing stronger through the years rages on.

"Because I deserve to not feel like this."
"Because I deserve to feel wanted."
"Because I deserve to believe the truth."
"Because I deserve to not be in pain anymore."
"Because I deserve to be happy."

Because you deserve to be happy.

I promise you deserve to be happy.

if you think
for just one second,
that the soul you hold in your precious body
isn't cared for by at least one being on this Earth,

then you don't know this Earth,
with Her twists and turns,
Her forests, and streams, and winding roads
And creatures numerously flooding her Blessed Planet.

for the possibilities are nearly infinite
and even as a realist
or at worst, a pessimist
you have to admit that

the probability of
millions of Human Beings on this Earth
not caring about at least one soul--
YOUR soul
is the true impossibility.

so please consider this:
in all the minutes and seconds you have to live,
wouldn't you rather spend them
smiling upon the moments you feel cared for
than frowning upon the ones you feel not?

my eyes are like the ocean
my heart has the temperament of fire
what I lack in devotion
I make up for with desire.

your words
once so pure
now create a pain
i cannot endure.

your voice
once so soft
is now less than a whisper
i don't want to hear anymore

but i cannot condone your silence
i cannot allow myself to listen anymore.
i cannot justify to myself
the violence your echo resonants in my bloodstained ears.

i remember
the lost nights
the starry skies
beckoning for our call

i remember
the stupid puns
the illegal driving
that caused your anxiety to
C R A S H-
     right
        into
me.

but how could i forget?
when your anxiety ran rampant
a collision of devestation
unparalleled by delight.

how could i forget?
watching a beautiful soul
crush himself under my weight

how could i forget?
the collapse of anything sacred-
the burdens you put on me
the burdens I put on you.

no... I remember.

i remember you
unbecoming you-

and me
becoming me.

Rebel Heart
I may seem dangerous
Strong and brave
But I assure you
I break just as easily
As the rest of us
...

And I'll let you in on a secret

I'm already shattered

Far beyond repair
...
I have been this whole time.

we are the forgotten souls
we are the ones who thought
we'd been left behind
when really we did the leaving
