Fine Lines
Paralyzed Jul 2014
An insane man decided to jump
Not off a building
Or into a lake
Merely up and down
Within his room

He stopped after a while
And the nurse came to visit him

None of the other patients act quite like you, you are only one of many

He replied
With the only thing
He had ever known

But sanity is not statistical my dear..

He pushed aside
His bed violently
Threw himself
At the door
Broke his only chair and table
Against the wall
And as the nurse left the room
He threw his only book
They had given him
Out the door behind her

SANITY IS NOT STATISTICAL

The nurse ignored it
And moved on
To the next patient

As she opened the door
A book came flying at her
Its pages were in shreds

Later that day
Books were turned inside out
And ripped apart
At the spines

For all the patients
Found the book
To be beautifully tragic

But the tragedy
Out weighed the beauty

Just as:

Sanity is not statistical
**Sanity is not statistical

Cheaters Never Win
Paralyzed Jul 2014
I just want a reason to cry
Maybe that's not it
Maybe it's a reason to die
I felt like I was worthless
All my life
But then you came along
With a brand new light
I followed you around
Like the only thing I knew
But I guess that's alright
Cause the only thing I loved was you
And then the light went away
I was left lost to be found
Isn't that what you did in the first place tho?
When you first came around?
I couldn't see what I was doing
Couldn't see who I was with
It must've been my first last day
The fourth after the fifth
Then my light came back
"Trust me I swear..."
I couldn't see my choices
Like playing truth or dare
Share a part of yourself
And lose that much more
Or take the dare and find out
The pain that's in store
Maybe I should leave
Maybe I should go
Maybe I need you more
The world will never know
But what I know for sure
Is that what you did hurt
And it's the reason I fall
The reason I'm six feet under dirt
So maybe I'll die
Right before your very eyes
The ones that hid all your secrets
All your hate fed lies
But I can't do that now
Because people need me
Unlike you
Who will always leave me

The Unknown
Paralyzed Jun 2014
You make me think of flowers
Not the kind you see in the shops
Or your backyard
But the ones no one sees
The ones in those far away fields of my mind
That yes,
Even though are not seen
Are still beautiful, so beautiful
That it makes me think of stars
You that is
And how they're worth so much
Again
Like you,
About the constellations that they produce
That reflect in those eyes of yours
That bring up another thought of mine
Of how we view the world
And our surroundings
And how when you choose to see beauty
I choose to see ugly
That's how our mind sets are different my dear
While you are chasing rays of sunlight
In the crystal clear waters of our ocean
I'm hiding in the dark depths
With the unknown things that lie beneath
Like the unknown of my mind
And you've touched that place
You've brought light
To the place where flowers grow
In the now bright depths of the ocean
That reflect the constellations above
That show just how far
Our love reaches
Into the space
Of our hearts
For my love

Give Me Perspective
Paralyzed Jul 2014
Look at us
Falling apart
Before each other's eyes

But this is not sad my dear
It was meant to happen
For when we were in the process
Of putting ourselves back together
I didn't notice
That I was grabbing pieces of yours
And you mine

There were spaces of my mind
That indeed weren't mine
For there was new pain there
New memories there

I found out how you saw me
How you've seen me since the very first day

My hair was a completely different shade
My eyes so much more beautiful
For I had never seen my smile this way before
Or at all

The very next time that I saw you
Your face looked a bit more dull
Your posture a bit less defined

You gave me such curious looks
And that's when I knew
That even though
You saw yourself as dull
And undefined
I still loved you

That was how
We became part of each other
By a mistake
By a chance
That we had fallen apart
Before each other's perspectives

— The End —
