life
jas Dec 2017
when I was a kid I could see life was hard
didn't know it would take me this far
when I was a kid , I didn't know crime
didn't know lies
didn't know who died
and I sure didn't know why mama cried
I was too young but I knew things deep inside

and the next morning she woke
with two black and blue eyes
funny how they looked like mine
but she hid them in disguise
and I didn't know why
not at the time
I thought things were fine

going to school just to come home
never had anything to rely on
never talked about where I was from
living in a hateful world but having so much love

& I grew up but nothing changed
everyone loves to treat life like a game
living day by day, always the same
but when you play the game you get played

I remember back when I was ten
never met my dad so figured he was dead
some days I'd even pretend
dying to just fit in

I got people bringing me down everyday
I tend towards speaking but have none to say
crying at night, I than pray
its not always black and white
sometimes I see grey
keeping my mind open to follow my dreams
that's me being me
searching for something meaningly deep

I guess that's just life.

~ alone ~
jas Sep 2020
im alone
but im tired of feeling lonely
stuck at home
like nobody wants me
the sun shining in my window
only brings me down

pull the covers over my head
enough to hide my frown
sitting in bed
staring at my phone
can't remember the sound
of my ringtone

you'd think I'm in hell
the way my chest is on fire
yet my skin's so pale
my coldest desire
a bottle of gin
makes me the worlds best liar

two's company
and three's a crowd
if you invite your friend
things could get loud

take a shot for me
make it a double
might get into trouble
the nights still young
but we're not having any fun

you could keep me warm but the sun is bound to rise
back to my covers
leaving feelings undiscovered
if only you knew
what I dealt with, to begin with
then maybe things could be different

so ill be lonely
if it means that you will call me
but don't leave me hanging
while my eyes get drowsy

don't leave me all alone
jas Feb 2019
its been a long day coming...


ok. that's enough backsplash
for the day
can't believe I've handled that
its been a long, long day
far too much for the price we pay


all along'
but were hooked on drugs
all ****** up
can you believe
what they've done to me
it's so real

the price we pay
until the death
it declares our face
that we hand off to the world
let em' know I'm not your girl
depend on me
for your every need
like in the one who
planted this seed
of disappointment

social anxiety
jas Sep 2018
F*
so social anxiety is a real disorder
it affects the best part of us
yes I want to go out
yes I want to see you
I'd love to actually
but you see
the way my anxiety is set up
rain check?

socially comfortable
no
social stability
I need both.
inside my demons fight each other to the core
death match
me vs.me

free smoke
white coke
selling dope
stay in your lane it's a slippery *****
looking into a kaleidoscope
look for me i'm around the globe
shine so bright i bring a glow
headshots on my frontal lobe
she's always calling "pick up the phone"
**** girl like leave me alone
can't u see i'm tryna get blown
all she do is roll her eyes & moan
i'm just tryna stay in my zone
i swear she's too young like post malone
keep my drama light like keystone
you can work that *** but what you do with that nose
if i'm being honest i'm just tryna bone
play me like a saxophone
acts take play that i will condone
already forgot ya , ya shoulda known
didn't i tell ya my time was on loan
back in the studio , put on my headphones
tell a story but first i gotta break it down

I stuck out till the end but it didn't last very long

sad, I know were over now
yet I cant stop thinking
about my first ...

“i can’t take this anymore” , she whispers.
With a kiss goodbye ,
gone with the wind
trickle on your neck
the next chapter begins..


“i’ve been waiting for you”...


alas , this isn’t her voice
yet so familiar
something that triggers
a part of your memory
alone within your thoughts
sitting pretty
hours seem like minutes

my song
jas Mar 2018
sometimes i hum to a melody
stuck in my head
life seems to surprise me
as i walk along the street
i look to the side and what do i see

my reflection in the water beside me
and i remember who i be

life is but a tune in my head
and as i continue traveling
i can only ever be free
if i follow the sound of my own voice


creating my own song.

im sorry
jas Apr 2018
all the times that i let you down
you took a chance on me and i let you hit the ground
i let you get hurt, constantly
its all my fault

and now i beg for you at my knees
i couldn't have known
my actions require responsibilities

and im sorry

so sorry
for hurting you
and hurting me
i was clueless as can be

all i can say is at the end of the story
all i can ever feel is

im sorry.

dear..
jas Jan 2018
i know i push my luck
will i ever be enough?
it’s so hard to trust
i’m just tryna gain your love

baby it’s hard for me to expose myself
maybe it’s all the **** i’ve been dealt
i’m so afraid
this feeling just don’t go away

around my heart like a barricade
i know you see tham caution tape
it’s written all over my face
wanna be a hero?
let me see your cape
i’m so tired of hiding
but what are you providing?

i throw myself just to get hurt
i put in all my heart
but sometimes it’s never enough
and i get torn apart

i just want someone that i can love
but what if that’s too much to ask for?

it’s apparent that i ask too much
read up on newton’s 3rd law
but you don’t believe in such
much to my reaction
you show little to no action
& that’s a distraction
i won’t have
but i’ve had it up to here
some **** i will no longer bare
will no longer be your puppeteer

i put in all this work
twenty four / seven
just to get buried in the dirt
but if you do not appreciate my art
than you do not get my heart

i guess it was all the lies
so insert into my eyes
into my mind
what i have now visualized

to drop dead weight
that’s very outdated
to look back on how i was baited
now you’ve had a chance to see how i’ve been created

so i’ll push my luck
on to the next bet
i’m still on the search for love
but this time i won’t sweat

            love yours truly ,
                       no longer in debt

am I? if not another ruined soul amongst these tortures of will

is there to discover about me,
or if you even care?

definitely not amongst casuals
why?

if you tear yourself apart
i cant be the only one
tell me whats fair

you beat me up
and tore me down

my heart can only think in love
the purest up above
and destroyed it all

do you remember,
all the old times
good memories
when everything was fine

do you remember
when it was just me and you
deep in love
nothing ever was so true

do you remember
or reminisce
back on the playground
our first kiss

do you remember
when you loved me so
if i could go back
id never leave home

-----------------------------
oh, i stay broken
remembering
all of what used to be
between you and me

oh, so fragile
losing something so magical
no more breaths
cant feel a heartbeat
its all gone

death is a strange thing

i remember
back one day
you were by my side and we would pray
for better dreams

you were just a distraction
I needed you so I could look away
so I could be at peace
if just for awhile
because once your gone
you go with my smile

the world falls apart around me
im suffocating yet im still breathing
how is that possible
to feel broken and nothing at all

so yes, ill take my distraction
ill take it so gracefully
put you in my pocket and pick you out only when I need you the most


in the midst of it all, I turned my face away for just a second
and your gone
disappeared into thin air
I try to see but its vision is cloudy

and when I take a step back
I open my eyes
even my mind
and the distractions that once took over my life
have also disappeared
such like you

oops I mean sorry
haven't wrote in awhile
been MIA, kind of
usually my words are my feelings
my thoughts, actions, throughout life
yet I cannot combine the two
I am misconstrued, definitely
lost between a black hole and space
as if that made quite the difference
HA

oops
I'm doubting my own self
depicting all my faults
limb by limb
until I fall apart

tell me how much more can I resist?
can I handle until I'm done
am I done?

destroyed
jas Jan 2018
you can give your whole heart out to people.
and they destroy you.
walk all over it.
it's useless to them.
and walk away from the disaster that you are now. hurt. betrayed. alone.
hiding behind a mask but only for so long.
the tears come down bc you can't hold them in anymore.
you can't be strong.
can no longer hold on.
to anything but reality. & that's not really living
so many disgusting people in this world
so few i keep in my circle
well really just two
that's less than a few
karma comes around
& seeks the truth
so i'll worry about me
& i'll let things be
here's another poem
bc of a tradgedy.

I've been waiting
a long time
for my dreams to come true

and then it happened
when I met you

All of my life
has been a tragedy
I've been blind to follow
what's in front of me

if you only knew...

what I keep, deep inside of me

If I open my eyes
I'd see a loving heart
I'd see the world as it is
and still, believe in love

in miracles
in the way life goes
on and on

and it's hard
hard to want to dream
hard to believe
in you and me

but you gave me everything
how could I not repay
when you were the only one to ever save me

that's how I knew
when I met you
it was a sudden pause of breath
a deep faith into the sea
an everyday daydream

miracles happen
once in a lifetime
so I knew
when I met you
this was a sign

into charcoal bits
left to wither into the dust

tears fill the void just deep enough to drown in it
forced to swallow emotions
sometimes they get stuck like a big lump in your throat
anxiously waiting to be spit back out
whose perfect in this world?
dying to fit in so much that there's little to live for
I guess they were right when they said, "born alone, die alone"
but they forgot to add the part where you go through life alone
I wish there was an option for 'do not disturb', in real life

and the moments that once were
a breath of fresh air
and the smell of your hair
I miss you if only for just a minute
if only a minute could last a lifetime
I'd hear your laugh again
see your smile on your face
my eyes always were drawn to your warm embrace

life is anything but a journey of lessons
that you've taught me
to now carry as a blessing
guiding me as a light through the darkness
if only for a minute
if only for a breathe
just once more

to get into a car
is such a valuable suggestion
to go places
you've never suggested
to predict the future
of the path less taken
or rather known
in signs of an injunction


to reach a car
a moving vehicle, that is
to not experience the case of lethal injection
although not taken my body
nor forced
this type is called anxiety


this type is called
I wish you could see
personally struggling
what you caused in me.
to be never encountered, by you.

I'm ashamed that there is a power you hold over me
and within a few hundred miles
within a distance of no reciprocation

you have that power
the power I should not digest

stringing along with my mind
slowly waiting for it to die
not a horrible death but you along with it

you see, I'm terrified
of reaching the road
any of which are paved out
nor drunk or sober me
can handle this disease

worlds apart
yet
souls never drifted too far
for the one she left behind
perhaps, for a moment in time
yet, if time was measured by love time would not exist.
love has no limit.
much like the universe, circle of life, depends on it.
when reconnected, gain was overruled by loss
reality was better than a dream, till the end of the universe
but that's just it, it never did..
