Aren't you getting tired
of your bitter ways?
Tired of complaining about
everything,
and never looking
the other way?

Isn't it getting old
to find yourself with no friends?
To look at your life
and think,
"What's wrong with them!?"

Is it the least bit alarming...
you love nothing you see?

The truth can be disarming,
but please consider
it from me.

There is no sense
in harming
yourself,
this isn't
how you
have
to be.

If you want love
you have to give it,
you have to
*set
yourself
free.
it's far easier to love
much harder to hate.

I gave you a knife and a feather,
Watch you stab yourself to death,
Or burst into spouts of laughter.
You chose the odds, now all I have left are burried memories and a gravestone to bring flowers to.
This is not a home, it is just a house.

I want to be clear,
like glass on the window,
I want to be clear,
like flakes in the snow,

I wish to be clear,
the definition of transparency,
I wish to be clear,
like an oncoming epiphany,

I have to be clear,
to face the reflections of my past,
I have to be clear,
Because tomorrow might be my last.
I'm back, and I've missed you all :)
My heart breaks, Someone I have never met committed suicide today. (June 23, 2015) I'm told she had felt particularly despondent recently after extended unemployment. She described being unable to afford basic necessities or transition-related medical care, as well as being hurt by social rejection, yet also recalled better times when one of her greatest joys was to make others smile and laugh. Planet earth lost another beautiful soul due to the pain of social rejection. People open your minds, your hearts and see the beauty in each other. Cherish the diversity that each soul adds to your life. Simply love . . .
My mind is in a downward spiral, She was 23, I've survived to 50. What do I have that I can share / do to help stop this??????

An inflating reverie,
An nostalgic memory,
A far reaching boulevard,
lingering to debacle from
my stumbling and unsteady feet.

The days are long,
But the nights could be longer.
The moon hasn't cast a single fortune smile on me,
But it is nothing there but for the grace of the sun, that I take a trip back to the
             Memory lane.

I hope you miss me as much as I do
I hope you don't go to bed with quivering hands or a distraction to keep your bed warm, or that the only onomatopoeia that remains in your house are empty bottles of alcohol clashing against each other harder than you clash your wrist over the scattering pieces of mirror that still remains on your bathroom wall.
The one you out-layed with your bare knuckles because you're tired of watching your soul bleeding in prepetuum at night.

I know the colour of crimson still remains throughout the dimness, and that the sun never sees you bleeding.
Your fragileness wilts quicker at night time than it does at daytime, and I know the moon laughs at your woe and misery.
It's been months, but I still feel obstacles stuck between my teeth and a wire wrapped around my tongue.
I feel my oralability whisking up into the lusterless sky, and the moon exchanges a hint of death and accomplishment.
Droplets of warm venom streams smoothly down my cheeks, because I remember how you haven't been crying warm tears on my shoulder in a very long time,
And it is no wonder I shiver myself to sleep every night I close my eyes.

See, we're from two completely different scenario's,
You and I.
You engage your suffery into more pain than you're likely to feel, and I allow myself to remember.
The warm, summer nights filled with love and stars.
The nights where I got hom with the light to the porch still glowing brighter than your flaunty appearance I'd acquaint myself with once I step over the treshold
When watching your yellow sundress fluttering in the open wind wasn't as bad as whirling droplets of blood spattering against my mirror reminding me of how you're bleeding from the
Outside,
And I'm bleeding from the
Inside
When we were happy,
        do you remember?
I've been working on this for the past two weeks. It still needs a lot more editing, so all feedback and confusion would be appreciated.
Without you looking
I put little bits and pieces
of you in my pocket,
I tried taking them out this morning
to hug you
but it turns out
my pocket had a little hole
S.R.
Here we go again
Different round
Same old game

It became a habit
You’re the snake
& I’m the rabbit

My friends always knew
That you’d make me
Go run after you

But baby must I spill it:
I’ll keep chasing
& would never quit it

Cause I know better
Outside the game
I will always matter
