Forgetting

Jul 2015 Joseph Schneider

Kendall Rose

You kiss a lot of people that taste like anything but home. 
Street light stars flicker above you 
the blue filter over your skin makes you look a little less sad, 
a little more drunk. 
You fill yourself up with the saddest things; 
Of people that slow your pulse down, 
that sharpen their teeth against your bones. 
Of a churning sea of clear *****, 
waves breaking over your rib cage. 
Of thick smoke that makes your lungs feel like silk, 
that make your fingertips dance across the thin line of what feels like forgetting, 
and what hurts. 
But you’re running out of things to make yourself feel better, 
and the more you hurt yourself  
the less you are inclined to hate him

To Be Human

Mind's Eye

To Be Human

A great many of us want,
We don't know the whole of it,
Yet, we feel, sense, feel more,
And we want.

We write our words,
Sing our sounds,
Paint the pictures of our insides,
For others to see,
And we want.

We are here,
And much of what we want, is there,
Impatient, we wait, while we feel it so near,
And we want.

PERFECT 10

PERFECT 10

Physically you're a perfect ten,
Not because you're what the whole world may call ideal,
But because,
You're perfect,
Perfect because you're complete,
That's who you were meant to be,
Your features are perfect for you,
Whether you "lack" some or have them all,
You're perfect,
Remember;
You were invented,
Not by mistake but by purpose
Because need is the reason for invention.

Am I Attracted To Murderers???? (yes)

Feeling Real

Am I Attracted To Murderers???? (yes)

You look so happy dressed in chains
Sorry you didn’t have that extra second to put a bullet into your brain
They died and the police came for you
You tried but you lost the ******* game didn’t you
Ain’t it funny no one cried
Ain’t it a shame you didn’t die
I bet you planned it out like you knew what to do
I guess that’s just how it goes when life puts fight into you
Right now it’s just a dream of mine
To see their misty eyes and the “please!” and the night
That descends all around their languished cries
I might kiss them goodbye
I might **** myself before I try
Before I see the last light leave their eyes
I’ve heard it felt like I won’t feel empty inside
I like that idea, I’d like that life

Big hands, oh his hands, wrap around my neck like you’re my pretty necklace
I said I could feel **** but I was lying
All I need is the violent leanings of mean men
When did you last ******, dear
I’m still itching to find us there

Take me down when you’d like to
I know you’ve planned it all out, I don’t doubt
You’d like to take my world away
The mask will stay
I’m on my way to being someone great

Do you believe I’ve done this a hundred times
Drug you along just to feel alive, I cry empty words
I bet you’d like to see underneath that hurt
Do your damnedest, try your luck
Drink the liquor, take the ****
Take it angry, **** me up

If I’d have known I would have stopped my games
But imagine all of your longing finally reaching it’s aims
I still wish myself dead and of you the same
Do you still want to do it for me
Do you still agree
Hold a ******* gun to my head or stick it in my mouth
Watch me cry and ******* to it
Shave your whole fist down my throat
And laugh and laugh and *** and gloat

Is this the rest of my life
I feel nothing and I don’t even like to
I’m just angry that I couldn’t even if I tried to
I’m just wishing I never had a life to live through
A true crime kid ***** because of ****, ******, and glibness
People using me is where it is

nightmares
are common to me
normally of silly things
like zombies rising
aliens abducting
monsters slithering

but recently
they have been of something more painful
of you leaving me
either by choice
or by death

it's ridiculous really
i know you won't
but my mind
says you will

it's terrifying
how much the thought
terrifies me

that losing you
could impact me so much

but i guess that's what love is.

-r.y.s

i never ever want to lose you.

Riptide

Oceans of emotion,
Waves of regret,
Oxygen has not found me yet
