be
to be
     alive

to be
     free of the pain

to be
     rid of my sorrows

to be
     released from my chains

to be
     filled with joy

to be
     unrelenting towards the pursuit of fulfillment

God, my God, fill me with you so that I can just simply
        
             be
you're tearing me apart
you're my death sentence.
you're blood that wont stop
but get more intense and

i throw myself at every stranger passing
and ask to give me hope,
but it's collapsing.
i beg to see you,
and beg to forget you.
i gave you all i had to offer
and more than that too;
i got myself in debt
now i pay back.
i wake up, 3 am and sweat is dripping
my heart is racing at the speed of sound, it
feels like it's going to jump right out of my chest.
vertigo, sickness, desperation...
blessed.  
i tell the others i am blessed to know love
to feel the way i feel
and fall so low i've;
...
i am strange and i know you are too;
why else'd i rearrange dreams for you?
you are odd to the core, to your bones;
and it hurts twofold when you throw stones.
your weird spirit is filling the air;
and my demons are reaching their arms
to the light you emit, to the flair
we'd be happy, if there could be "us".
but you're a ****.
.10 cents to breathe
.20 cents to grieve
.30 cents every mistake
.40 cents to take a break
& that's only a dollar

Jett
at the end of autumn life changed
And i spent the winter hidden,
an apartment In a new city
And threw myself into working
And fighting off the demons in my head
But it wasnt enough

I felt a shaking in my chest
That never completely went away
It rattled my bones and
Tumbled my head

freezing wind brought Spring
And I almost managed to convince myself
I am better
But if im honest
Im worse
