I drink Monsters
for the adrenalin rush,
& because it seems
nothing
really gets me going anymore
& I now I know,
every chance you got,
you used me,
I played the fool
for you.

Christ Almighty Lady,
you’d need a kick start too
if you knew I drained you like that,
how about a Red Bull Shuga?!
We are the tellers of our own story
The makers of our own destiny
We are the sharers of a cast
The cast of us
A stellar reservoir of superstars
We don't appear in magazines
We are the figurines that stand in life
Watch dreams get smashed to smithereens
We follow the theme of living, occasionally giving
Kissing,wishing,missing,loving,kicking,killing
Anatomicall­y the same yet unwilling, fearing living
Whilst each of us unique we all are composed of stars
We all hold within us the chic mystique of being human.

And tonight, I cry so hard..
I'm wake up, and I don't know where I am.
I'm alone and lost.

And tonight, I cry so hard..
It's like I've been sleep-walking these few months..
I don't know what am I doing here..

And tonight, I cry so hard..
This is not what I'm dreaming of..
This is not what I want..

I opened my eyes. I just knew, that I'm lost.
I see that tiny light. yeah, that's hope
but it's so far away.
so so far away.. and I just can't walk anymore.
I just can't take this life no more.

Fate is kind. that's what I always said.
I believe that everything happens for a reason.

Now I kneel down. I ask God.
Dream is the only thing I've got.
Why did he take it from me?
Hope is the only thing I've believed.
Why did he take it away?

And tonight, I pray.
*"Thy will be done."

tip the scale
rip the veil

cold and lonely
If only, if only

beauty bought
***** socks

open bandages
blank pages

Just sit there
by yourself

read a book
take a look

in the mirror
your own fear

of the face
that you'll make

demons too real
for you to not feel

their horrid presence
all too malevolent

you're on your own
Sweetheart, you're really alone

you are the poem my mind can only think of
goodnight ♡
It's either off the rooftop
Or off the deep end
I have a fear of water
And I have a fear of heights
Neither option looks too pleasing
But if I don't choose for myself
Then someone's bound to do it for me
Please note: I know this may be easy to interpret as a struggle with suicide, especially on this website. However, I personally do not deal with those thoughts, though I have fought depression. And if you do have suicidal thoughts getting help is truly the best option.

Home Depot does not sell azure paint.
No. They do have Morning Sky,
Tropical Lagoon, Morning Breeze,
Ocean Cruise, Cozumel, Empress Teal,
Almost Aqua, and Navy.  But no azure.  
No cyan, either. No plain ol' blue.
I will take my verdant money elsewhere.
Home Depot should be more poet friendly.
