I couldn't think of a better blade than you
                     Because you cut so deep
        *You don't leave any trace that whatever you sever even existed

Ripping poetry books up
Eating yellow paint hoping to lighten up
Nothing is making sense
Do you understand this poem?
Ripping the filters off cigarettes
Saving flowers from an old lover
Strung out on nothing
I don't even understand this poem
It's pointless
Just like you and I
the chickens keep bawk-ing
bawk bawk bawk
their pointless views, and
having each other
roasted in the end.

I have a wrist watch on my left arm, and I find it pointless
because, I still can't control time.
If only I can ...

Let's talk about your hair and how it was always falling your face
How during the summer red highlights would dance in the sun and in the winter it was always pushed into a hat to keep it safe from the cold
You used it as a shield to keep the world from seeing the void of emotion in your eyes
But when you met him
You no longer played with the bouncy curls that swayed from left to right
You had them pinned down in place
So afraid to have a single hair out of place
So afraid of not being perfect for a single second
I'm sitting waiting for my therapist. This is pointless

The hesitant hand speaks through the white abyss beyond its dark eye.
Worlds are created here.
Excuses.
And words of love alike.
Men and women have died clutching and wrestling with this enigma.
The need to be understood.
What need is there when what is counveyed.
Was never captured at all.
Forcing more and more blackened guts onto a surface for criticism.
Only to claim the meat bellow grade and tossed away.
It's the output that heals.
That begins its torture like tools to ****** about the mind.
Plastering over more wallpaper with graffiti.
Trample over the art created to assume the role of the next tramplee.
Be humble yet there are no holds bared once the summit is in sight.
This cataclysm has taken enough of me.
And this righteous path.
Can only play granny for so much longer.
Before I too will grow fangs.
And tear this pointless paper to shreds.

I don't know how to help myself,
where do I even start?
I could write paragraphs of words,
enough to fill miles of the open world.
but these words don't help to change,
they only help to vent out thoughts.
When will the real change happen?
there is so much to see and do...
yet it feels pointless on my own.
I can't seem to grasp it,
repeating routines, how can anyone be satisfied.
I need to meet more people,
I dont know where to start, where to go...
Just completely stuck.

I need to learn the first one,
And its various types.
Ah, the second one can help me get my heart back.

I wish I was a good poet
I wish I was a good musician
I wish I could make good tasting food
I wish I was the life of the party
I wish I could be so very enlightened
I wish I had a home I could count on
I wish I had a future to dream about
I wish I knew art and literature
I wish I was good at cleaning
I wish I could actually play a sport
I wish I could be a great entertainer
I wish I had a beautiful face like a movie star
I wish I could be a sturdy shoulder for leaning

*All of these things mentioned here are my "strengths,"
I guess this New Years I wish I could do something right
For once, like you guys, at any means, any time, any length.
His words pierce my heart
Like a razor sharp dagger
Twisting in deeper with every
Apparent truth.

Pain surges through me like
A current of high voltage
But I do not bleed.

No, instead I feel everything drain from my body,
Like a balloon that's been pricked,
It doesn't go with a bang or pop with excitement.
No, it dies a slow painful death as
The air seeps from its body, leaving it
Gasping for breath.

I fear he's given me the kiss of life for the last time,
This time he will leave his words to resonate in me,
And as they resound within,
I shall wither away.
