The Waiting
Wasted Youth Oct 2015
I watched you grow while I'm waiting to stand on my own
I'm still waiting, and sinking
The rain blocks air from my throat
Time goes regardless of if I'm growing heartless
You left me undone
I'm waiting for someone to pick the pieces up
All I can do is push them under a rug

You're soring, but I'm barely crawling
I want to let go and slip away
I know there's no place for me
And I don't want to know how you've been
But I'll still ask
I won't wait forever for this transition to pass
Any longer I'll let go and sink
My undeserving body will lose the air I stole
When the bubbles stop I'll finally give back to the world

Stretch
Wasted Youth Jun 2015
Tightning these loose ends will never be snug all around
Something will always slip through my grasp
As I'm picking up the pieces you'll still sleep sound
I'll always find a way to change but I'll never transform into who I want to be

Things will go fine for a while and it seems I'll never cease to smile
When things are going well I always seem to find a way to make it hell
Does anyone try as hard as me to make sure they have personality?

Find me where I don't want to be found
Talk to me when I'm lost without words
Hear me where I don't think I'll be heard
Live as though I never existed at all
I guess I'll see you around...

Just Good Byes
Wasted Youth Feb 2015
What I'm forced into is cold
I don't belong
I can never fathom what I'm told
How can I be on my own?  
No condolences, just good byes
No direction, no hope
Everyone can see the torment in my eyes

Cast astray to change that'll stay the same
I'm walking into a room full of cliffs blind
This noose fits my neck better than I'll ever fit in
The past no longer matters the future is what I want to leave behind
How can I be on my own?
I possess fear of the unknown

Chalk Dust
Wasted Youth Feb 2015
I'm suffocating in a old classroom because I have a chalkboard covered with equations of me trying to figure out
Who the
****
You're talking
To
Like that


Weak I was but I'm strong know
Mind and body and my fist have an itch that can only be soothed by burying them in your face
*****
This heart that never intends harm is calling for

Sweet Pain
Wasted Youth Feb 2015
I yell to be heard
No more will I be invisible
I'm not scared
I will rise above the rest
The base in my voice boils the blood in my chest

As I lay exhausted from my efforts to be appreciated
I hear them speak as though I've never spoke at all
I saw them walk through me like I was a ghost
If I'm a ghost why can't I walk through walls
Pain is my only escape that listens to me most
EEEEYAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGHH

An Honor
Wasted Youth Jan 2015
She's so perfect for me even though the circumstances aren't perfect... She has no idea how much she's worth and it's an honor to help show her...
"When the moon light hits your bright eyes I go blind"

"I'm terrified and would you mind if I sat next to you and watched you smile"

-Fall Out Boy
Wasted Youth Jan 2015
I never thought I could feel this again
To have a blue sky even when it rains
I know that I should calm down

My oh my the seasons have changed
Autumn passed and yet another winter has left me deranged
Is it love or is it just a breath of fresh air?
Never before have I met someone so rare
Should I fall in or should I step back?

Any distance is too far from my arms
I'm glad that we both leave each other so charmed
Her lips can flip all my frowns
Her voice makes me float and leaves my soul earthbound

I know that I need to **calm down
It's been years

Wasted Youth
Wasted Youth Jan 2015
Trying is just another thing to keep me down
Smiling is just stretching my engraved frown

I saw the world around me up to a  standard
I'm below it with the environment making me stranded

They say I have potential
I don't think I can leave my mind's shell

Long ago I exposed myself to the truth
They don't see that I'm just wasted youth

Hope comes with a cost
The hopeless who made a future for themselves because among those who are eternally lost

They think I have it all together
They're confused when my mind is somewhere else
Handicapped by the world I've been forced into
They don't see what I have to see every day
I'm not worse off
Why couldn't someone less fortunate switch lives with me
I'm never going to be anything
I just waste air and resources on earth
I'm wasted youth
I'm well aware this is garbage

Arms
Wasted Youth Jan 2015
Scream* into my ear every word I wanted to *hear

From you

Your brown eyes make me want to hide
Looking into them make me want to cry

Why must the odds make it impossible for you to be mine?

Every image of us I need to leave behind
In my arms is where you belong in the imagined reality in my mind

Alone I've always been, loneliness is the only future that can be *seen

Luggage
Wasted Youth Jan 2015
Visions of perfection always corrupt my head
The dreams I have where hope is fulfilled is dead
My wrist are marked with every unanswered prayer I've ever said

The luggage I carry are under my eyes
A minute I lay awake in bed for every lie
I'm too strong to broken
I'm too worn down to be repaired
Victim I'll never be
Those pearly gates aren't meant for me
I'd rather walk lifeless for eternity

Summer's Stellar Rays
Wasted Youth Jan 2015
I've put my life on hold 
The view of my cigarette smoke passes the time
Patting myself on the back for not being bold 
The days before you left, I threw on my oldest clothes so you would distance yourself from me
It was easier to push you away than to keep myself away from you 

Maybe I'll cut the grass because the sound of summer and the memories of your voice are driving me insane 
Trying to hang with you is my most lost bet 
What I don't get, is that I'm not even missing you yet 

Everything is normal 
Life is still the same
I have to work for the next 6 days 
I'll never have a reason again to ever say your name 
The day I miss you, is when I'll observe happy people my age in summer's stellar rays

The Spark...
Wasted Youth Jan 2015
There was a spark that made me smile 
It put me to sleep when time could not 
I wished I could ignite that spark that puts life in me 

When I found the spark didn't notice my reaction 
I was near the edge prepared to step off 
How could a spark acknowledge my being 
A spark isn't alive, it's just a result of 2 things, 2 people, interacting 
That's impossible 

Just like you and I are impossible

When the spark, the only spark, died... 
My palms covered my face because it never breathed, for it was never embraced, or born

Grave
Wasted Youth Jan 2015
Every word I have to say to you feels like shards of glass escaping my throat
You put a wall up and I still see through you
Every great castle has a shallow moat
I'm not going to drown to save you

One day you'll be worth someone's time
You're far from mine
You have this dangerous mentality in your head
Live by it forever and you'll be alone when you're dead

Falling I tried to grab for someone
No one reached for me
I didn't scream I just watched the world get smaller as I sunk lower
Why would I drag someone lower with me?

Blood leaks out of your veins
You ran from your problems and you tripped and fell
The dirt, I swear I'll never taste again
Get up, and write the future only you can tell

That...
Wasted Youth Jan 2015
That could just be the end of me
Hopeless it is, hopeless it will remain
Possibility will cease to be

In the event of the unspeakable happening
I will lose all of my sanity
Blood will be shed
My wrists stained with red
This rope necklace was inspired by you and my mind that is recklace

I want peace of mind
All I need is a sign to leave these thoughts behind
I put out all of my best qualities, and all I got was a smile and **amity
I'm not on edge or anything, I'm just scared of where my emotions will put me mentally put me later this week

— The End —
