I'm not opposed to my introspective nature
that most cling on to with broken fingers
and ever trembling lips.
I am forever embracing my most outer self
in more ways than just one.
The sun never really rises and falls,
the earth where you're standing just changes locations
and I am located just above the brink of insanity
waiting until the world turns just enough for me to fall again-
but as the fleeting world speaks to me with tone deaf hears
all I can seem to dissect from the conversation is
that forever means nothing in a world where
tomorrow could never come again-
I could never come again
but I will not take that liberty from myself
I will not sacrifice my freedom of expression
for a small sense of morality
I'm not sure exists in the eyes of those around me anymore.
The one being of my own being means more to me
than being something I'm not
so the facade I play day by day
seems to break away at the edges
like a clay molding of who I once was
and I will make a stone masterpiece
with just my broken fingertips.
Spongebob ain't got **** on me
because these hands can carve memories
into the retinas of another human being
and make this life a masterpiece.
Don't ******* try me
because I will swallow you whole
and spit you back out faster than you can tell me otherwise.
I have self-inflicted my own pain too long
to not come back strong like stone.
Like dark canvas silhouettes syruping over sunrise
when sibilance meets promiscuous  
that's where you will find my sunday best.
My meeting with the God that may or may not exist
the self-loathing meets with the self-fulfilling prophecy
and I am the head of the dinner table.
So dig in-
feast your eyes upon the glory that can be.
Feast your eyes upon defeat below your common nature.
Remember morality is a game that only you like to play
just to show others you can win-
but what good is winning if you don't know loss?

Broken memories on the floor cut my feet when I walk.

I carry my burdens and mistakes on my shoulders.

My eyes are filled with tears that won't stop forming.

My mouth opens but makes no sound.

I don't know what to say.

I see pain and misery.

Nothing reflects my eyes because there's nothing to be reflected by.

My insides want to turn itself around.

Time slips from my fingers just like you did.
Mending my soul is like;
Trying to hurt yourself,
Putting back the pieces
that will never be the same.

Don't be afraid
the man says in tears

Its perfectly normal
the doctor winces

You'll feel better in no time

yes, I cut.
yes, I am depressed.
yes, i want to die sometimes.
don't call me sick,
because the rest of the world is sicker than I am
for thinking that it's ok
to **** 7-year-olds
and bomb convenience stores.
just something that i wanted to say...

I don't write
poetry,
I write little pieces
of my heart,
hoping
they will
*touch yours
