Sometimes I feel like
There's someone better inside of me
And she's buried in this giant amount
Of pressure that I make.

A piece of me is burning
To go beyond what I am
and what I do
But

I can't hear it
Because of the noise in my daily life.

I have come to learn
With pain and pleasure
To make every stumble
A bridge to the real me

Of course
Somedays I fail.

But I try.
Oh man,
How I have been trying...

Watch me as I fall
without you.
I've spent years
perfecting this dark energy;
you are not the first
to leave me longing.
Watch closely.
I can build a statue
from ashes,
inhabit order
surrounded
by chaos.
Watch as I consume,
without myself,
myself.
I can fall,
but I cannot fail.
Watch.
You only scratched
the surface
of who I was
and am,
but you let loose this
agony -
my flood,
my fuel.
Ever since I was a young teenager, I've worked on ways to turn my hurt and anger into something that betters my current situation. This is no different - let's see what comes.

Daily edit: I’m humbled to be chosen as the daily.  It’s an unbelievable honor. Thank you so much for the love and comments. Haven’t been super active lately because life, but I love you all.

You may go ahead and say
I'm being immature
To get me away from you

But baby
You don't know
How brave I've gotta be to do that.

It takes courage to
Don't keep in touch with
What destroys you,
Just because you love it.

You have become
Exactly what you've always wanted

Immortalized
Untouched
Flawless

Through my words.

I haven't forgotten
A single detail about you
But honestly
I hope you do.

That's the only way we have to move on.

I would stay
Knowing we would be lost
Knowing that I would have to follow you into the dark
Pursue your ghosts
Make room to your pain

I would stay
Even if it was to drown with you.

There's thousands of bars around town
Yet here you are
At my door.

I'm not such a fool
for believing this is about me
I know it couldn't be.
Current state really heavy.

But if you're still bleeding
Please, just know
That I'm dying for you to
Come home.
