"Money can buy love, friendship, and even self-esteem, but none of it is real."

i wanna go to sleep
and never wake up
i want the world to stop,
to halt mid spin
and breathe me into the nothing,
the black abyss that awaits
deaths kiss, and id beg
to be released
to be let go of
break me so i can go home
**** whats left of my sanity
so i can check out
and never come back again.

When the words
"I am a poet"
escapes from my lips,
people claim how full
of emotions I must be.

They seem to be shocked,
when they get to read me,
my poetry, my work,
how little emotional I am.

I am a poet,
because once upon a time
I chose to write
instead of dying.

Only when I let my thoughts be free,
I allow myself to feel,
and only when I write
I get to know some version of me.

they say, 'it's all in your head...'

i ask, 'where else is it supposed to be...?'

One persons can be called crazy
For their observations on society
When other people conform to
It
At the risk of selling their souls

'loneliness is a tax you have to pay to atone for a certain complexity of mind.'

'writing's like mass -
God gets mad if you don't show up.'

- earnest hemingway
