I learned today that
seismographs measure the
force of earthquakes and
I was struck by how similar
these spikes looked to
waveforms and
I wonder if the earth
is screaming at us

We became killers because we did
not have value for our own lives.
We were all fighting because that's
all we knew how to do. We fought
to gain something, to feel something.
Monsters, all of us. But we didn't care.
The thrill of it was what kept us going.
The scent of blood sweet to our senses.
But one day, a boy was face-to-face
with his mother
who did not hesitate to raise her gun.
His eyes were opened to the madness.
He went crazy with the realization
that we doomed ourselves.

He smiled
and a gunshot was heard that night.

She gives me a ***
filled with soil and tells me,
"I wanted to give you
a flower but I didn't want
to make you cry by
killing something so
I thought you could watch
my love grow for you."

When I look in the mirror
I see the face of a broken man.
I remember what my mother said
that if you pull an expression that grotesque
your face will get stuck that way.

I wish someone would love me.
I wish someone would care that
when I came out of my room
my eyes were still a little red.
I want someone to hold me
and tell me that it's okay to fall apart.
To understand that I can't
help but hurt myself.
Someone who would understand
that I can't just get over it.
I wish I wasn't so lonely all the time.

Hell, my pillow has soaked up
so many tears
it's amazing I don't drown
when I dream.

The monster grows bigger and
it claws at my mind
My arms are torn apart
with maps showing the path
to the only place that ever
felt like home
My problem?
I've always had a fondness
for monsters

I don't exist anymore.
Too suicidal to function,
I sleepwalk 'round this world.
I stare at walls
stare at my dead eyes
in the mirror.
Awakened only at night
when my blade can breathe
some air into me.
I can't talk anymore.
I can't laugh anymore.
And, what's worse, nobody
seems to miss me.

All my life I
wanted to fly
so I jumped off
a cliff
just to
feel alive.
