JA S-Mine Feb 2018

I wanna change the way I look,
the way I feel,
the way I am.

I've started drawing all over,
my arms,
and legs,
and wrists,
because the blade is no fun.

I'm drinking more water,
clearing my skin,
fixing my appearance.

I get looks,
I get comments,
I get praise.

I do, however,
miss the old me,
that me had more fun.

The old me didn't sleep,
always ate,
never worked out,
played video games,
drew on thier arms,
legs,
face,
body.

The old me is gone,
because everyone else likes,
the new me,
oh so,
very much,
more

Red

Red
The color red
In this world of darkness all my fears can take ahold of my dying breath and all I can see are stars and all I can taste is

Red
The color red
I climb through my thoughts, a never ending sea, no one can save me as I paint my body with a beautiful shade of

Red
The color red
Millions of us sit here as all we can do with the panic rushing through our veins is picturing how lovely flowers might look again if we ended it tonight just hoping that at the funeral they will be there crying tears of

Red
The color red
These overflowing words pour out of me like the river that rushes endlessly far out into the night sky and I look above me and see her face and suddenly all I see is

Red
The color red
As nothing will ever define me except the words I write, the words I am chained to, the words that make me fall in love over and over again with the color

Red
The color red
The color of pain and beauty and lust
The color of our souls that are taken ahold of and tossed into a shell that bleeds the color red we are trapped in red everything is red and I turn to see your face and it is

Blue
and suddenly everything
Was blue

Spearmint Gum

I think you’ve got an imaginary gun against your head
Because you want to paint the walls in brains and red.
A gun is not a paintbrush that you use when your heart is in distress,
There are a few things that will numb the pain
Like a few pills or a toxic shot to the brain.
Just remember that after you ***** on the ground
And your screams no longer make a sound,
A packet of spearmint gum will be passed around.

Sunshine Riptide

Sometimes
Under the moonlight, I sit and have
"No idea what I'm doing now"..."'Cause I'm
Stuck in the Sunshine Riptide"*
Holding onto that feeling,
"I love you so much it's just like oxygen."
No one else gets me as much as you do;
Each day is a new day and I want to be with you.

Ready; 3, 2, 1... "You came in like a wave when
I was feeling alright; You are my truest feeling yet."
"Petulant but irreverent,
Take all your possibilities and take away the limits."
"I do the best with what I have,"
Do what you love and love what you do.
Everyday, I love you more!
