my eyes hurt all the time
like i've just been crying
i think i'm just tired
its hard to focus on what anyone is saying
nothing is satisfying me
what am i working towards?

i can't do anything except
listen to music and stare
at nothing

the things i used to be good at
are no longer my talents it seems
i've let things slip away
i mean look at this poem!
it's a ****** mess
no effort put into it
but you see i just can't right now
i'm all strung out
i don't really feel anything

When you're lying in bed
wondering
asking
how am I going to keep living
remember that you're here for
wondering
asking
*how am I going to change their lives
what even is this

On a mirror in lipstick:
No hard feelings.

I take pictures about letting go
even though I keep holding on

When I left
nothing happened

You breathed in a lot
but I got the message

I find too much meaning in nothing
Once, I saw a man eat spaghetti on the porch with his dog
and I still think about what that could mean


I scare myself
and I hope I scare you too

what’s ****** up:
I still hope that you love me
and in an ideal world, it would be okay

what’s even more ****** up:
it would actually be okay if you loved me right now

the most ****** up:
we do love each other but you can’t make yourself happy

I’m not sure if I’m fixable. i feel hollow and ill fall over crumble into ruble. while the picture isn’t perfect its a start of a piece art. sometimes the world ***** and **** when its bad and it makes you mad and you’ve had too much **** thrown your way pen and paper come to play. the pen may write the words but remember excalibur is only a sword and without a grip on the handle it can fight no foe and win no war. i feel down and i want to tag out in the last round or take a dive in round five but **** it pain is on my brain and with this much i can take a little more. I’m not sure if I’m fixable but then again nobody else in the discount section is whole anyways right?

Try
try* to spend some time with others
try to act natural
try not to do anything stupid
try to be normal
try to not to do that
try to be yourself
try to smile
try not to feel bad
try to be less depressed
try to laugh at someone's jokes
try not to hide secrets
try to stop writing cheap poems in napkins
**try to get over it

i don't know what it's like
to not have a dad
to wake up every morning to feel as if something's missing
some part of your life
some distant memories of a man you called daddy and your mommy called love
only to one day disappear and be someone else's love and someone else's daddy

i don't know what it's like
to be you

but i know i'd do anything
to make you smile
and make you feel loved
i know that one day
you'll look back on life
with bright eyes for the future

you are
capable

you are not

      y o u r p a s t

this is only temporary

smile because the world is so big
and there's so much you haven't learned yet
one day you'll be someone's princess

ANDI'LLKNOWIWATCHEDYOUGROWUP

please don't forget me
if i'm living i'm living for you
i don't need to be another person in your life that left

you're so young
so pure

DONTFORGETWHOYOUARE

BEYOURSELF

BELIEVEINYOURSELFTOO

I W I LL ALWAYS BE HERE FOR YOU

call me anytime
i'm high as **** and i love my 8 yr old niece a lot

Its funny how the people, not doing anything; always know what to do; but never do it. Because they are too busy telling the people doing it, how to do it better. Then, take all the credit when it's done; still don't have a clue as to what they are doing; they just know they can't do it without you, yet we need them. The Talkers;

Life has a sick sense of humor.
People in general; they creak me up.

simple enough
If I wanted to, I could
I could dissect every word
you ever said
Take off the fabric that surrounds--
I would never, I told you,

I want to taste your skin,
after it's been hung on the clothespin
in the sun too long
If you heard this, you'd take it the wrong way

you want to taste me
because that little kiss,
you knew what you were doing
and now your hands know every inch of me

so ******* now
