To whom it may concern,

overtired ramblings,
if you already don't like me,
don't even read it
if you do like me
still don't read this
Dear,


dear....



dear......my...


dear subconscious.

for my entire breath of existence, you've always been an accomplice.
but, you've failed to mention a few things that could have helped me regardless.
like how hurting someone else can turn your organs to tangled ropes,
and then makes your brain laugh until it chokes,
i was just a little kid too, that couldn't grasp onto the weight of the world,
but instead tables have turned and now it's my brain that's being unfurled.
i was never aware that, things that happened between a brother and father and mother,
was something that wasn't easily relatable to another.
i couldn't understand the difference between the definitions of rich or poor
i thought it was always everyone that craved more,
not to mention the similarities between right and wrong
will cause the weakest of minds to think that they're strong,
and i'm not trying to say *******,
it's just that the apology is long over due.

so maybe what i'm trying to say,
is you can't take my emotions and create an overlay,
because how i'm feeling is not what you're interpreting.
so don't walk away as if you've done something liberating,
i have only reached a state of confinement,
and you're still asking me to be compliant,

so maybe what i'm trying to say is,


*******, because in case you forgot,
the emotional damage has always been in your blind spot,
and those more than ever protruding ribs were not what i needed to be "hott",
and the little red lines to mark my days of being in control of my life were unrealistic
because i will not let you convince me of something that i never was,
i never was
a ****, or a *****, or your call for comfort,
i was never crazy i just never had a retort,
and, i didn't sleep try to sleep with your best friend,
i'm just glad it was a situation i didn't have to mend,
just because of of the way i look and react,
doesn't make what you think about me a fact.

there is so much more to a human being than their appearance,
so don't take their emotions as if they're on clearance,
you have no idea how many peoples friendships i'd try a second chance,
but a majority of they wouldn't spare me a glance.

there are so many things i could tell you,
but it would be harder for you to swallow than it is to chew,
i also know you've got things that could surprise me too.


now these things are all in the past,
but the harsh judgements will always last.

so ******* if you've ever disliked me for things you knew nothing about,
or ******* for being rude and condescending when you've never had a conversation with me,
******* for ever telling me how to improve my self appearance,
******* for making up lies and holding grudges on things that never even existed,
******* for not being my friend anymore for being embarrassed about what other people would think,
**** high school, and **** *******, **** selfishness and **** imitation.


**** the fact that none of this should even matter,


and the fact that it still doesn't matter
Choosing Pi

Three Spoonfuls of Vain
*Point

One pint of cut Veins
Four years of Blood
One teaspoon of the never ending Flood
Five gallons of Depression
Nine ounces of Aggression
Two pounds of Solitary
Six months of Treachery
Five meters of Rope
Three minutes of Hope
Five Moments of Silence
Eight centimeters of air
Nine moments of much needed care
Seven seconds of Suspense
Infinite eternal rest
Three spoonfuls of recovery
Point
One pinch of rediscovery
Four cups of another path
One lifetime of choices
School Project? Opinions?
Is it so absurd?
That you make me nervous
Scared.
Self-conscious.
You make me think in chaotic
loops of meaningless things.
Or mostly meaningless.

What if I told you
I wanted to kiss you
as you stood on the other side of that door
Or as you sat mere inches away from me.

Would you have been surprised?
Maybe, I could see how you would be.
But would it be good or bad?
Would you turn away, or reciprocate?
Or would you smack me?
Or would you pull back, and tell me it's too soon?
Or would you just leave?
Or would you stay?
Or would you...

Do you see what I mean?
All of those thoughts are moot,
now that your not even here
And yet I still think them.
Why?

What if I told you
I want to hold you
Right now.
To wrap you up in my arms
and not let go.
I wonder if you would let me.

What if I told you
I want to lay under the stars
and have you curled up against my side
and we simply
watch.
Maybe talk.
Maybe kiss.
But nothing more.
Maybe just fall asleep
Its usually quite warm out
this time of year

Bah, but you see how pointless this all is right?
I dont want to push, because I could push you away
But I fear not acting, because I have seen women
make these absurd tests up in their head.
'He must make the first move' and then 'he' doesn't
so they move on, thinking him a coward.
But I am only showing respect when I do not act

What if I told you
That you make me crazy?
Like-I-can-barely-breathe-
My-heart-wont-slow-down-
My-pal­ms-wont-stop-sweating-
I-cant-stop-the-thousand-thoughts-
raging-­in-my-head crazy.

What if I told you
I want you to be mine?

What would you say, Angel?
Sometimes that regret comes back to haunt me
And I think "If I did it, I wouldn't be suffering."

I'd do anything to take away these agonizing days
This hurt I feel, this never ending pain.

This negative state I can not get out of
You see, there is no light, so what is the outcome?

Should it be a quick death to end the misery?
Or drain in this river of prayers, crying for mercy.

Should it be a quick blow to the head, to forget the rest?
Or slowly endure this test, and hope for the best.

Whatever the outcome shall be, I hope it ends this misery.
I can't believe this is happening to me
Oh, thank you God for blessing me.

I know your bringing something into my life
Something that will make everything alright.

My soul expanded and spirit so blessed
If I could, I would do it again.

You've taught me things I never knew
Oh God, what would I do without you?

Eternally blessed, and surrounded by your love
My heart and soul will forever be above.
Eager to love, yet afraid to fall
I want to love you, but there's this 10 foot wall.

Guarded and scared, I've let no one in
Show me you're the one who wants to break in.

Be my prince, my guard, my knight in shining armor
Save me from this dreaded curse im in.

I'll jump, take a chance, perhaps a leap of faith
I will let you in and see who I am.

Hold my heart, see my soul
Love me forever, and never let go.
Helpless, hopeless, do you understand these words?
Its what i'm feeling inside, and it really really hurts
This long dark tunnel, only I can see
I walk alone, nobody but me
So many years
Gone by
Flown by
I look back and it’s all a blur
No control at all
With what’s going on
High school
Almost done
College
Up the road
Life
Just around the corner
Its scares me
To the bone
I wanna hang on
To what I don’t know
So many years
Gone by
Flown by
So many new things to experience
So many things I’ll never experience again
I wanna hang on
But to what
Im still trying to figure it out
An old poem I wrote back in '08 as a senior in high school. And funny thing is now 4 years later, with one semester left of college, I feel exactly the same as when I did when I wrote this poem. Scared of whats up ahead, of changes, and of time going by too fast.
The city sleeps
A moment in time

As every shadow grows
The light in my eyes grows farther

Lights, far and distant
Glowing perpetually as the sky
Clouded over from rain

A message, but it is no more
Than a wish

Soft, wet sprinkles of life
Fall upon my hard fingertips

A door, a small flash

I try so hard to see,
To see only that I wish not to see

A gentle breath across my face
Ice cool against my pulsing flesh

The night grows deep blue at one side
The far country of the east
The orange sky to the west is the city

Quiet and calm
Pulsing and constant
Both joyous and calming

A light goes out,
Though I never saw it on

A door, once again

This ever-present light
Separates me
But my love is equal
In both worlds

The city sleeps
