My music is like Velcro:
hooks and loops fastened together.

I wish you many things;
  well isn't one of them.
Daniel Magner Jan 2018
All these people spilling,
letting themselves slosh over the sides,
tossing back courage,
tongues slipping secrets with a flourish,
nonchalant, letting things fly.

My lid, usually ******* on tight,
loosens slightly,
but not enough,
not like the rest.
I play things close to the chest.
Y'all don't need to know about me.
y'all don't need to hear my things.
I've got dead friends,
I've got self-inflicted scars,
I've got self-hatred, loathing, lies, wounds,
but I share them crucially.
Don't try and rouse it from me,
if I share,
I care,
otherwise,
beware.

We are broken, but our remaining pieces mend perfectly together.

I will make it,

little as i am--
there are things smaller still
but as I think this through
My Cranium Grows LARGER
AS BIG AS I AM--
I AM STILL
small
I had just watched this (Powers Of Ten to "The Glitch Mob" - "Fist Full of Silence"): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iIvYYxb6rZ8. Yup. That's about all I have to say here...

I am forecasting a storm
I am foreseeing doom
But try me
To dance with a devil, are you ready?
It's read as "ten".
The Dybbuk Sep 2017
Ten
One, two, two, three,
Counting down to killing me.
four, five, five, six,
Rowing down the River Styx.
Seven, eight, eight, nine,
These emotions aren't mine,
ten, ten, ten, ten,
Die to see the light again.

Her face is so bright,
Like a starlight of the night
Her smile is so sweet,
Like a candy in your mouth
But no one can notice, the bitterness of her eyes
Because everyone sees her, as the statue of love
Every night she's in her room,
Crying until she fall asleep
Screaming his name,
Wishing that he was still here,
He left her without saying goodbye
Now,
She's left clueless wondering why
She might be okay in everyone's eyes
But the truth is, she's hiding behind the mask,
Still waiting for him,
To comeback in her life
Eventhough she knows
The footprints are gone
One day you'll see her,
Smiling under the rain
Trying hard to hide her tears,
Trying hard to fulfill their needs,
But whenever I look,
Directly into her eyes
Tiredness is what I see,
Longing is what I feel
And now she's gone
Like a rain in the sky
Realization hit us
That love is gone,
Pretention is done.
