If you've ever the chance, you should just run away,
you'll put in so much effort, and she'll leave anyway.
But for all of my talk, and my warnings of this,
I'll always be staying in hopes of a kiss,
with those lips are dancing in all of my dreams,
with the girl who's perfection is more than it seems.
When you fall for this girl, there's no running away,
so you'll pay no attention, to these words that I say.

Whistle sounds, alarm beeps
Battle drums, my heart beats
Rising sun, crowing ****
It is here, riddle me

Silent bath, floating thoughts
Towel dry, connected dots
Tucked in shirt, shiny shoes
One quick prayer, banished blues

Speeding cars, crowded trains
Changing lights, fast paced lanes
Blaring horns, jamming doors
Quiet rides, bone-face walks

Smell the air, raise your chin
**** in chair, eye on screen
A sip of coffee and you know you'll win
Welcome to Monday, you can get through

My disease makes me feel happy
When I'm alone I feel alive
I'm drinking bitter poison
And loving the taste

My sickness makes me healthy
When I hurt I feel the hope
Of a better day that's coming
Something to look forward to

And as I'm floating through the void
That even light can't reach
I'm thankful
I have my space

Spare me a dime?
I know this girl
Well, I kind of know her
And she has to make a call
So on her behalf
I'm asking around
For change
Spare me a dime?
Because I know where a payphone is
And she can use it

I was bowling and
I couldn't pick up the spare
And on the drive home
From the alleyways
My tire went flat
Spare me a tire?
It can be a spare

Its just I have to go see this girl I know
Well I kind of know
I don't really know her
But I want her to make the call
If she needs to
Spare me a dime?

I'm asking around
For change
Senseless ******* poem, that says more than I intended it to
I can feel that, Stop it
Stop thinking about me so that I can stop thinking about you.
I feel you even when you are far away

It doesn't help when people say: all I can tell you is to get over it or not let them get to you.

I know that. I know I shouldn't let people get to me.

Don't you think I ******* know that?

But I can't block it out.

Believe me I wish I ******* could but I can't.

I drove by some light poles on a street at midnight tonight, and I thought about hitting them.

This isn't the first time that thought has popped into my head but this is the first time that I almost did it.

I thought about crashing my car so that maybe I could stop it all.

Maybe I could just stop feeling everything so ******* much.

What used to be a place where I felt safe and happy has now been burnt to the ground and is a place I don't feel like going back too.

Things that made me feel good are being ruined for me because of the environment I can't escape.

People I used to want to hug and talk to in the late hours of the night I now want to run and hide from so that I don't have to think about how badly they treated me and how I was stupid to forgive them.

I want to lay down and not wake up and have to face this stupid world and everything in it that is trying to rip me apart.

I have cried every day this week.

I have tried to ask for help from so many people.

No one really listened.

No one knew how to respond to me.

No one can help me.

I am alone and I can't handle it anymore.
I am okay. I just want to keep this poem up to keep it as a reminder that it is something I survived and got through.

One wish upon a star

I'm wishing a wish
That will never be granted
I'm living a life
That has no point to it
I'm loving a love
That is unreachable
I'm failing a fail
That is wrecking me
I'm reading a read
That allows me escape
I'm lying a lie
That has become an axiom
I'm scripting a manuscript
That will never be published
I'm wishing a wish
That will never be granted
Another November of 8th grade poem

I August I believed
I had finally found
Love

I hadn't though
But that's okay
