Crying out
Drown me now
Submerged
In pool upon pool
Of my own stress
Clear
Each drop
Translucent loneliness
Submerged down
Within the
Thought
That I might always
Be here
Oh dear
Call to make sure
Each
Day’s
Okay
I smile so wide it pushes you away
Irony in the lonely
Never fades
Lying here
And here
I
Stay
Drowning once again

I love you,
Her boyfriend used to say
Every time he missed her birthday by a day.
Those three little words accompanied with
Thanks for your forgiveness,
That she never really gave
Beneath her false smiles.

You are beautiful,
Belongs to her mother
Who dressed her up in frills that itched
And tied doll ribbons in her hair.

You are gorgeous,
Whispered her second husband
Only in bed and not
When she had morning breath and hair,
And needed to hear those words then.

I hate you,
Never slips past her painted lips
While shining so brightly in her eyes.

Tell me how it feels when you slide into bed at night knowing you lied to everyone you've ever loved?
Tell me does it hurt when your mom is overly religious and you believe she is insane?
Tell me does it hurt when your dad is too zoned out in old war movies to even notice you're crying in the corner?

I've never dealt with your pain.
My family was open and honest and accepting of who I was and wanted too be.

I've never dealt with your pain of finding something, anything, to get you through the day without the inside of your head screaming at you.

But, I have dealt with the sadness.
I have dealt with the anxiety of not being good enough.
So I say to you, you are not alone.

And when the sun shines but all you see is grey and sadness; I will be there for you.

Nobody likes me now
I don't care
Everybody hates me now
They've got some nerve..
Everybody's looking down
I'm feeling cyclical
What should I do about

These *******

Pariah
Sin in over abundance
Liar
Reality could never change
Despondent
Sacrifice util it's incumbent
Pariah
You love the fair exchange

Gauge the metric
By which you judge
The proper usage

Harsher than the light on my keyboard

Often peckish
Killing skeptics
The proper usage
It all falls in the same vein

Forgiveness to a fault line
My god
All I've ever wanted was a new design
Hiding away in the suffering
Fudge the figure for the slumbering

Drab as they may come
Welcome to the whole **** phylum
Encroaching on the underlying theming
And everyone seems confused

I took the world
In my hands
Looked down
Then up again
They all were screaming
About the meaning
Under god
Claiming that they were free men

No resolve left, I stopped listening

My future is all planned out
But not by me
My parents took it upon themselves , y'see
They want me to succeed
But not at something that interests me
"You'll never work a day in your life
If you truly love your job"
If that's so then I suppose
Work is all my life will ever be
If you won't let what I do
Be decided by me

Tell me what to do,
and push me away from you,
as your control fills my head,
make me wish that I was dead.
Don't let me find out for myself,
so when I face adversity,
it will take my mental health,
and fill my life with controversy.
But hey, at least you wached my back,
So I learned to not expect an attack,
So when it came,
I was slain,
as my ignorance became my bane.
But you were right and I was wrong,
I should have listened all along,
I will pay, that's what you say,
If only I had followed your way.
So now I lay bloodied and dying,
and in my heart I know I'm lying,
to tell myself that you were always right,
merely to avoid a childish fight,
I should have looked behind my back,
as it was you who had attacked.

An over-analytic,
overbearing,
misguided idiot.

That about sums it up.
Not much more to it than that.
