i want to be able to see my heart in word-form, all of its callouses and scars spelled out in strings of the alphabet
i want words to flow off of my fingertips like the drippings of water droplets into a sink from a faucet closed only half way
yet i've found that the four-letter word i've been feeling
can only be expressed as it is
numb
i want to be able to express myself but i feel as though i have nothing to express anymore

Raw
I want to eat a piece of your soul,
and taste it through and through,
and want you to do the same
with mine.
In this feast,
I want to take part in,
Whoever you are,
          Whenever we are.




I want to eat all these foods,
The most raw of all,
No lies, no fake shells,
Just the primal taste;
the core.
have you ever thought
how would you want to die?

i have

burning to death
would be too noisy
too red i guess
and i don't like red

taking pills
would be too fast
and too painful i guess
i'm tired of pain

jumping of height
would be impossible in my town
and too fascinating
it would be like flying

but imagine drowning
i think it would be magical
water have always called me
time would stop
i wouldn't hear anything
and stop breathing
but i still would be there
in silence, in stillness,
in water, in calmness,
it would be like
a holidays for eternity
.........
i think about it too often i guess..

empty seas
aching
shaking
I can't move or think
hopeless
helpless
I could use some saving
confined
deprived
my insides are as empty as my mind
pain
I feign
that I'll ever be okay

the only thing left to do is to
sleep
to sink into darkness and
relief
I got really sick yesterday, really, really sick, and so I turned my pain into a poem, like one does. Sorry if it's bad, I still don't feel that well.
I'm not ashamed of my scars
I embrace them
even if there intentions were bad
I'm not proud of it but I can't go back

When the tears finally fall.

They will fall harder than any
summer rain I have ever danced in.

They will roll like rivers
down my face.
I will fall into those raging rivers
pouring from my eyes
and gasp for air as I begin to drown.
in the overwhelming feeling
that we
made a mistake.

I will swim to the surface
and cry out
for you .
But I won't be able to
hear you over the
cracking thunder
of my
thoughts.

They will fall harder
than I did for you

yes

The tears will inevitably fall.
But only
after I have convinced myself
that I no longer love you.
no longer need you.
But I do.

People aren’t perfect
And no matter how hard we try
We cannot make someone into
The person we want them to be.

Let them realize their own flaws
And change will come
Eventually.
Not everyone realizes their faults unitl it pushes people away. Let it be.

More than scars
They're names and faces
People in places
That won't seem to leave
Physically absent
Forever in me
I feel your fingertips
Memorizing my body
In the palms of my hand
Making me sweat
On the back of my neck
My hair stands up
Whispering in my ear
But ignoring my calls
Answering my thoughts
But not responding to my pleas
I'm all alone but you still won't leave
I drag sharp things
Across my body
Attempting to set you free
Blood rushes out
Suddenly I can breath
Cleansing my body
A bath for my heart
You always come back
Just to leave me in the dark
Every time there's a new guy in my life he becomes the voice inside my head and stays there long after he stops talking to me.

Sun Rays

You may not feel like reaching out,
   Or talking much these days,
So I’ll reach out from the other side,
   Like clouds letting through sun rays.
 
     Each beam of light is aimed at you,
        To warm your heart and face,
     Your shadow shows the proof of this,
        Like a silhouette that you could trace.
 
          Just absorb the energy,
             No reflection is required,
          Just     absorb     the     energy,
             And in yourself, become inspired.
 
               Lift up your head with eyes wide open,
                  See the people who look your way,
               Each one has been uplifted, simply,
                  With your sun rays in their day.
