my world is too heavy for me
it's weighted in my bones
i cannot fathom life without
this deafening, silent drone

the pile has grown, i've thrown it all
and all are taking back
i guess i'm the exception, cause in everything


i lack.
2016, sometime when i gave a **** about rhyme and meter

i love everything i hate about myself.

There's a fire rocking the core of my body
searching to find some delight
but mocking me gently, intruding by day
and ruining my sanity at night

i've never been crazy
i've never been sane
i've never been caught in between

i'm fighting bounds i've inflicted myself,

the grip is asphyxiating
sturdy insecurity (sometime 2016)

i've always been good at giving fair warnings
i guess i'm still just surprised nobody's listening.
i am your future inconvenience

Not dead is alive enough sometimes
not as sorry as it sounds

if you think i wanted this
if you think i awoke with a desire to bring agony,
twist the knife deeper into a wound I never wanted to make
you are so sorely
and sorrily
mistaken.
everything i feel or nothing at all.

i was told I'm intimidating.

what a rush

what a nod to the spineless, ravaged cavern
of chronic perceived inadequacy

i used to be.
