Blue sky
Barbed wire
To climb is to bleed
But I must go higher

Fluffy clouds
Lazy sky
Wounded hands
And wishes to fly

Shut up
Close your mouth
Quit your talking
Because its going south

For Christ's sake
My ears are sore
And I swear my head
Can't take anymore

******* hell
These walls are thin
The garbage you spew
Crawls on my skin

Just shut up
It's all white noise
You abuse your voice
Like children with toys

The more you spew
The value decays
The more you repeat
The less it conveys

I absolutely wonder
If maybe you can see
The long and lanky demons
That sit and stare at me

In the corners of my room
They sit and stare at night
In the edges of my vision
Just within my sight

And I just can't help but wonder
Which set of eyes I should trust
The ones that say demons don't exist
Or the ones that say they must

And you must understand
My reality is twisted
What I continue to deny
Has gone on and persisted

And I have to wonder
That if I close my eyes
If the demons remain
Or if they're but a vanishing lie.

The sky is changing overhead.
The earth is moving fast.
Time keep pushing forwards.
I keep looking to the past.

Where could yesterday have gone?
I feel it in my cheeks.
Not the kindest kiss goodbye.
The tears remain for weeks.

The stars above are staring
But do they understand
That like tears, stars can fall
Forgotten when they land?

I cannot wave goodbye
Into the silent night.
Waiting in the river
Slinks a terrible fright.

The sky above is spinning.
The stars are falling down.
The blackness is insatiable
and never makes a sound.

Yesterday is weeping
For what it once knew.
It can't see the future
So what is it to do?

Yesterday is dead
The future holds the gun
But quickly faded away
With the setting sun.

Today is all we have
And yet the tears remain.
The memory that burns
Is yesterday's bitter stain.

Endless corridors
Walls that shift
This string on my wrist
Isn't a gift

I feel like some
Have a bright glowing thread
A strong little string
To lead them to bed

My broken line
Leads me to traps
Drowns me and burns me
While my strength it saps

And I pity it so
For the meal it eats
A meager meal
And the feast yet shrinks

Black and frail
And cold to the touch
My broken thread
Has never helped much

Sleep in your bed
As I fall in a pit
Until my broken thread pulls me out
Here I must sit

I do hope you're a *******
Because the smile on your face is horribly sadistic
And I'll make it hurt
As I carve it from your face

Almost is the happiest word I know
She almost left him
He almost lost
They almost crashed
The fire almost burned it
Twisting things around when all hope is lost
Taking certain doom and making it almost
At the end of a book
When the main character is is bleeding out on the ground
They almost didn't make it
Almost makes us leap for joy and cry tears as we smile the biggest ******* smile we could
But
It can **** it just as fast
He almost beat cancer
The dog almost made it
The car almost swerved in time
Almost, almost, almost
Then the tears aren't so happy
Then the books let the villain win
Then our hearts break and we are left there gasping for breath because even our lungs don't know how to react
Because almost can override muscle memory
Almost is a heartbreakingly beautiful word
And almost
Is the saddest word I know
