The Broken Poet
You say you don't love me
I watch you walk away
Knowing I was bound to get hurt
But I loved you either way
And I'd do it all over again
I act tough
I bawl my fists
And chase after you
I won't let you go
Bet you restrain and walk away
Give me another chance
I'm willing to change if you just say you'll be mine
That night, I cried myself to sleep
Dreaming happily of you and I
I got drunk that night
And I passed out on the couch
That night I never woke up
But I never did stop dreaming of us.

I'm growing distant from myself
As if the simplistic notion of happiness
Is the ocean spread between emotions
And I am but a ship,
Adrift.
I'm surrounded on all sides
By water that I can not drink.
Why is it that smiling is so
So unbearably difficult?
I know how to force a smile
Why do I have no desire,
No ambition.
Why am I struggling so **** hard?
Is there really a light at the end?
Or did I think that into exsistance?
I'm a ship
And I'm not sinking,
I'm just adrift.
Adrift isn't what I want
My sails are lowered
So where in the blazes
Is the southern wind
to push my ship
And the corners of my mouth
North?

anorexia
is not just a disease
it is a monster
eating away at your soul
until you become nothing but skin and bones.

depression
is not just a mood swing
it is a demon
******* away your happiness
until you become nothing but a shell of who you used to be.

these are serious problems.
do not be too naive
or monsters and demons
will steal the people you love.

We're all in a race
The race of life

It's kind of funny;
Most people try to run
Away
From the finish line
Rather than
Toward it
At least in this race

But as we all know,
The rule of racing is
That you need to try and
Get to the finish line
As fast as you can

So don't blame me for
Trying to follow the rules

Thursday, February 19th.

The once lively suburban street resembles a ghost-town.
Children are locked away inside, hiding,
protecting themselves from the harsh bite of winter.
Living in Minnesota, the cold is everlasting.

I find myself forever wishing of better days,
dreaming of windy beaches instead of wind chill.
I wear dresses and shorts inside,
changing into heavy coats and dark colors to even open a window.

There’s a dip in my bed from sitting in the same spot for too long,
and empty water bottles scattered around my room like easter eggs.
The poster on my wall is slowly coming off, and I don’t try to fix it.
Music is overplayed, and peanut butter sandwiches are making me yawn.

Living in Minnesota, the cold is mind-altering.
i found this from this past winter

Usually my body and
My mind agree
It's just one thing

See,
My body is ugly
And so is my mind

My body is weak
And so is my mind

My body is sick
And so is my mind

However,
My body looks happy
And my mind is sad

That is where,
My body and my mind
Don't always agree
