I wonder what the point is
And who is getting off...
Truth be told
Credit to you, I owe
To lead me down this painful road
With daggers bearing your initials
Perhaps one day I'll realize
That you are not a worthy prize
Perhaps you are no good for me
Tan honey skin, I let you in. Deeper than I should. I thought I could. But a familiar embrace, retracted and retraced all the memories in my head. So I want to hold you close and dear. But lonesome I will be. Because if it's familiar, doesn't mean the same.

I stumbled through your life with an ungraceful lack of restraint.

I tried to find an answer in a life I barely knew.

If I'd known what I do now, I wouldn't have felt for you.

Tomorrow we'll grow further apart then we were before.

The tide, the moon, the sun, the stars, time turns closed the door.

Before the lock bolts shut I'd hope to make amends.

And save my mind from whats inside in time to see the end.

The more responsibility I gain,
Further away I want to run.
Life pushes on my shoulders,
And it no longer seems like fun.

My back yearns for the ability
To sprout wings and fly.
Escaping from the chaos within
Is the only way I'll get by.

I'm  scared that this mundane life
Will ultimately  be my torturous end.
How can I escape from this road,
When I can't even see where it bends?

Young soul
on the verge of growth
with a dream, with dreams
you can't even see
but you're told you can reach
told you can be anything...

but only within your boundaries

Young misguided soul
in such a cruel world
you're left to discover
all the dark secrets
and all the worlds demons
after being raised to believe
that this is the land of the free
I guess this was a little inspired by the uproar of protesting due o the Michael Brown case. I can't help but hope the world begins to change more, its not as bad as it used to be but Its not as good as it should be.

We were raised with the ideas that love endures eternity,
Friends are forever,
Addiction is a myth,
And bad things don't happen to good people.
As we grow up we come to find
Love expires,
Friends turn on each other,
Addiction of some kind is inevitable,
Not everyone has the same heart as us.
We never saw this coming.

Some people cut
Others cry and scream
Most drink, but you
Do something more extreme.

You live above us
Watching this ****** up place
and you see so.much pain
Yet theres a smile on your face.

People get beaten down
I get pushed around
Like other children with
Dark bruises big and round.

Love, oh love, oh my love,
You're killing us all
Dont you see
We break more each fall.

Some people cut
Others cry and scream
most drink but you
Do something more extreme.

You love an laugh
Oh and how you lie
Awful friend seeing us
Hurt, why dont you cry?

All my ladies please do understand
Intrinsically you bring beauty to this land
Put your body out there in the public eye
And you will get attention that you can't defy

Pictures of you all over there nettisphere
Fun, vivacious, seductive and suggestive
But fugly buggers better type nothing rude
You only welcome it from those attractive to you!

So you want to please and tease with your naked pics
Now you're furious for getting comments from freaks
This is why our whole world is troubled
When righteous hypocrites' standards are doubled
Seek attention? Easy to find. When you get it from all over the place, do not complain!

It all crashed,
As if an intoxicated child had been steering towards the corner of Absentminded and Dazed.
                                                          ­    Harmless.
I just wanted the rush of it all.
I wanted to feel the car collide into a whirlwind of commotion.
                                                      ­        Chaos.
I wanted the chaos.
I craved the chaos.
The hectic emotions that skipped over the sweet heartbeats when our pulses fluttered together;
They were inebriating, invigorating,
Enthralling every ounce of my reluctant reason to thrill.
I wanted the lust and the simple beauty in love that I couldn’t have.
And it killed me.
                      Passion.
I crashed into arteries of reality.
The ****** absorbed every fiber in my form,
Every neural tissue that tingled from the tips of my hair follicles to my toes.
Not one cell was safe,
Because my heart wanted what it wanted,
And it led my atoms to do things unimaginable—
Undesirable, but oh so desirable,
And it led me to…            
                                                          Crash.­
