In my head you asked
If I was okay, please ask
If I am okay
In my head I answered
There were too many people
Please don't touch me
Please stay
Please stay
Please ask what is wrong
Ask if I am okay
In my head you proposed
We go for a walk
In my head I shook
My head, I tried that
I said
In my head, there
Were too many people
There as well
In my head you looked at me
At loss for ways to help
In my head at least
You tried, you did your
best, you did your
Best, I only wish
It weren't all in my head
Please don't touch me now
But please don't stay away.

A Finish Line

As my feet pounded the asphalt
Hard and my heart pounded in my throat
I saw the finish line and marked it
My destination.

My heart elevated and the last dozen
Steps were easier than all, but then comes the
Pain, keep walking, keep walking
Keep walking.

And as you feel your lungs
Collapsing in on you and your muscles
Screaming, there is no end in sight
No reason

To keep moving on, to
Keep fighting, that is when you will
Break, when you will fall apart
And wish for oblivion.

Our Minds Are No Longer Our Own

He knew he was going to
Document it in words and
I knew he was going to
Do that as well and he knew
That I'll know that he knew
By now, so he hurried his feet
Towards home.

We need to get out more.

Better

I never believed in Murphy
But then I told you
That I was getting better.

I hate this.

Visit (10w)

Next night
I slept in sheets
That smelt of you.

I miss you all, again.

Talent Pipes

I spent months trying to construct
The answer to their understanding
But in one cold silver pressed against my palm
They showed me what they think of me

And no matter how much I try
How willing I am to let them into my head
They will always see me as they will
And I guess that's fine; their image of me

In their heads is better, than the one
I have of myself.

For The Herd.

Thank you for the gift. Thank you for being who you are. Thank you for being my friends.

Nightmares

I brushed my teeth and
Fixed my bed once again
And washed my feet in the downstairs sink.

I stand on a pile
Queen of the towels
And ready myself for the fall.

Today was my curfew
So why aren't I asleep
Why aren't you putting me down
Like the good horse that I am.

I've worked my **** off for years
And I deserve better
You're working girl doesn't function anymore.

Come oil my joints
And join me in bed
Like you always do.
