A hurricane swept us away
And for a while i didnt know
Where we were
The storm had swept away
All goodness
And all I could grasp
Was the gray cold air
Suddenly I was on ground again
And the sky cleared
And wherever I  was
I was happy to see light
But the storm in my heart
Raged on
My heart raced
And I worried
Because I just wanted
To go back,
Before the storm
But this sunshine will do
This light will keep me at peace
I must believe the storm has passed.
Idk.  This is generally ******. But the first sentence was in my head.

You lived next to a mushroom field
The smell was pungent and distinct
It reaked of sewage and sulfur
I never understood how anyone could
"Just get used to it."

I hate mushrooms now
Moreso that I ever did before.
I mull over the things you did to me
And made me do to you.
All I can remember is
The smell creeping up my nasal passage
Strangling me
Choking me.

Since that day,
My life has resembled that place.
So much junk to deal with
Such a despicable scent
People wonder how I deal with it.

I don't even know how I stand the stench.
But I find it funny, oh the irony
In how I have come to simulate
The place I detest the most.

Im tired, I mumble
When you ask me how I feel
You always say that, you grumble
But that's all I ever feel
I'm tired of being sad
I'm tired of getting no sleep
I'm tired of feeling bad
I'm tired of counting sheep
I'm tired of hating myself
I'm tired of hurting all the time
I'm tired of putting my emotions on the shelf
I'm tired of losing my mind
I'm tired of being tired
So that's my standard thing to say
Because I'm just tired
Every single day.

Hey, I wish you were around.
I don't know who to go to anymore.
I'm crumbling to the ground.
I'm so insecure.
I can't see my own hand in front of my face.
My world is pitch black.
I'm trapped in my own solitary space.
Chained down on my back.
I'm restricted and unsure.
I can't get away.
There's no light to find the door.
Looks like I'm here to stay.
To waste my youth.
In a dark depressing state.
Scarred and uncouth.
Pain for which you can't compensate.
I feel myself wanting to break free.
With such force that my bones break.
The power trying to release me.
Look away, for your own sake.
I don't want you to see me like this.
Maybe I'm better off suffering behind closed doors.
Perhaps ignorance is bliss.
It'd be better for you not to see me here on the floor
Possible that it's good I'm alone.
So no one has to watch me.
Breaking my own bones.
I'll just struggle and suffer in my own company.

i like you
and your big, dumb smile
and your goofy jokes

i like you
and the way you speak French
in the middle of our conversations
or root against
my favorite football team
just to make me mad

i like you
and that sweatshirt you always wear,
the purple one,
with the logo of the college i grew up near

i like you
and the way your cheeks turn red
every time i talk to you
or someone talks about me

i like you
and that big, dumb smile
on that big, dumb face
when you tell those goofy jokes
because you like me
and my little, quiet voice
with my little, quiet eyes
looking back up at you
telling you to kiss me
