You could say I ruined everything if
Everything wasn't ruined already

We're so quick to blame but have
You taken a moment to make peace
With your shortcomings like I have?

Acknowledging mediocrity in and of itself
Is transforming it into something more, since
An effort at least is never worth nothing

Yes, I truly resent you, but I don't resent myself
And I wish you the best in seeking the means to
Enable yourself to say the same

Until then, rest peacefully
not to toot my horn or anything but i ******* love this poem

Looking your way,
I'd be hard-pressed to admit the
Beauty of an angel even if
It ****** me to Hell

I can't express how titles
Dictate content, or how
Names are formed after I
Hear the voice behind the face

Faith delivers miracles
And this keyboard is too loud;
I'll probably wake my brother while
Typing this all out

But before I lose my train of thought,
Remember that I'd rather die under the lights
Than lose you to them

Youth 2.

When I was younger I knew wonder;
And now I can't see where it all went

I've been praying for a hunter
To bring me adulthood's head

It's a beast I knew was coming but I
Never thought it's real
And now I'm nearly overtaken and
I'm fearful I can't heal

I need far more than a rescue;
To escape this war at least
But I might just have the courage
To face this colossal beast

I don't where this blood came from
That's leaking from my hand
'Cause my blood's red and
This liquid is whiter than Greenland

I've won this fight for now,
I've been taken up in arms
But all I can consider now is
How to avoid harm

I've got a fuse when it comes to
Simplistic affection

It makes me feel small again and I
Don't like to make sacrifices

I feel sick inside when
I'm all of myself at once and
The beats fall out of touch and
My rhythm fades to dust

I think you're lovely but
Neither of us are good with groups
And it's during times like these that
I wish I could just up and flee

Apology
 Jan 2016 Mikoarenas

We were spoiled rotten with
Music and soul and
Time runs through our fingers
Like sand in an hourglass

We judged the most beloved;
You stole my mind and
I stole it back

This is my apology

"I love you."
He says, but it sounds more like a threat than a promise.

"I love you."
His hand encircles your wrist, keeping you in place in the middle of the hallway filled with students.

Expectation hangs heavy in the air
The cluster of faces closing in.

A whisper of excitement.

"I love you."
He says, but it feels more like a threat than a promise.

"I love you."
And you run.

I'm melting under pressure,
Body separating and dripping onto the floor.
I want to hold it together for you
Want to hold myself together for you
I'm melting under pressure,
Who will hold me?
