"In the end, all I could really show was gratitude. You were always patient and forgiving, and you were always optimistic and hardworking. You were forgetful and sometimes irresponsible but always well-meaning. I looked up to you, you know. Admired you. Ultimately I was never able to change myself for the better, but because I had you in my life, I at least didn't change for the worse."
-things I will never say aloud

I don't like
How those around us
Influence our behaviour
We change the words we use
How we act towards one another
And are just different
Why?
Why do we change for some people?
To please them or to keep them close by?

Everywhere
There is poison:
In the drunken ******
That purr at his heels,
In the boy-turned-badass
Smoking and drinking away innocence,
In the woman who's down to die
For any way up,
In the alpha male too friendly
To reveal the toxin within.
I feel out of place.
And there is this and there is that
but what is this to that in relation to us
can the dots be
connected,
protected,
selected?

Tell me is it safe to be in the human race?
Who is to set the pace
for this who mess

To Whom This May Address,

The Waiter came to the table and said, "What would you like Sir?"
And to him I politely said, "I'll take an Order of Chaos"
He replies, "Sir that's quite contradictory as there is no
Order
In
Chaos."

Sincerely,
X
ONE:

It's like sitting there and explaining how to you everything works
painting this picture in reverse I have to rehearse
and practice and rehearse and practice

TWO:

imperfections affections towards perfection
in the one thing, reason, I can't sing freely
Just let me be. I have to practice
because that's, that is, what is, what's make perfection
stabilization.

THREE:

I know you know he knows they know
just know that knowing is knowledge
passable shareable keepable loseable  
be responsible

Your thoughts can cage you or release you
Mind can give you a new realization
Or sweep you under a deep spell of hallucination
Imaginary demons can seize your thoughts
Depends on what our thoughts are
Repeated thoughts can become a reality
Facing at fine surprises or rude awakenings
Feed the mind with right thoughts
Let not unwarranted thoughts sneak in
Mind is powerful, subconscious a powerhouse
Thoughts in slumber suddenly becomes a reality
Choose your reality, for it depends on the thoughts
A sparkling and clear mind harbors positivity
Positive thoughts will steer you towards your destination
Such is the power of thoughts; we delve not much into them
Mind the thoughts and you will celebrate life

My vision was blurred
And your voice was only a distant echo.
I tried to reply, but my words were slurred
So all you heard was a garbled mess.
You said that I was "too difficult"
As my throat clenched, holding back *****.
You turned, claiming it wasn't my fault,
But as I stumbled after you, I knew it was.
My mind was slow, fuzzy, as I tried to recall
All the times you carried me home.
All the times I was too far gone to walk steadily.
And I realized suddenly that I'd been a burden.
That you resented me for those times I needed you.
But I also remembered how hurtful you were,
How you tormented me, controlled me.
I cried myself to sleep all alone that night.
I woke up with a headache, still sick about losing you.
But I gathered myself and thought for a long while.
I may have been a burden, but you were an instigator.
You never gave me the love I deserved for loving you.
I can let you go now, for
I believe the end of us was your fault, your mistake;
I was only under the influence of heartbreak.

The minds freedom can be missed,
But its lessons and wisdom will carry on for generations.
