Clear blue skies so wide
They might suffocate me
Sunlight like knives
Piercing my skin
Making me wonder
Why I should even try
It's just one of those days.
Born to say "**** it!"

Cleanse it all,
Wash away the innocence.

The eternal party rages on,
We could never subsist.
Driven, haunted by youthfulness.
Wake me before I die,
I don't want to miss it.

Poetry
It will either
Make sense
Or be a jumble of words
That might make sense

Be about true love,
being alone,
Complicated,
just broke up,
Or getting broken up with

To being about
Your best friend
Whether its your human best friend
Or your furry little friend
Because humans are too much

To I love myself
Or wanting to end my life
Because people make me feel
Like a complete failure
And ***** up

To loving yourself
On what you look like and personality
Or feeling like you need to change
Your body or personality to fit in

To being about nature
And the things in the wild
Or how your home
Can feel like a jungle

To being political
And voicing your opinion
To being religious
And speaking about ones faith

The list could go on for miles
But its true
Poetry is life
And about anything
Your heart desires to write about

I miss the way we used to sit
How you'd fall asleep on my shoulder cold

How you quietly would look at me, and I at you, because we'd know

I miss the everyday secret things
Which we used to do and could've been

With a oneness and once unified breath
I miss these more than anything
Missing miss

It’s crazy to say
That I once believed in God
He seemed so real to me
What happened?
Did I fall
From imaginary grace?
Was something there
At all?
Searching for answers
Imbedded in my skin
All I find
In the lines
Are more questions
I did. I don't think it was to do with me though. I really don't.

In a pitch-black world
Anything goes
No telling where the wind will blow
In a pitch-black world
Anything goed
In the dead of night
Strange things happen in the dead of night
When the lights go out
All around
And the whispers fill the air
In the dead of night
Better hold on tight
A "poem" every day.

The song is Dead of Night by ruelle, it's been stuck in my head for a few days now.

Anything
Anything at all
To feel something
Anything at all...
I’ll compromise myself
My morals, my heart, my body
I don’t really care
I just... I just want to feel something
Anything
Pain, pleasure... it’s all the same...
