hand in hand, whispers of love, shared music and spit. all behind the safety of your bedroom door. people ask, they wonder if you are mine. I ignore their questions, none of their business. making out to my chemical romance doesn’t concern anyone but us. hidden feelings, denied labels, my secret.

my secret
black nails peeking through fingerless gloves look like they were made to be worn by her. lip ring over her rosy lips, eyebrow piercing glints in a shard of sunlight. of course, it suits her perfectly. raccoon-tail dye job, hair just past her ears, covered by an old beanie. she pulls me down to her ear and licks her lip. i look down— eyes, dark as midnight, rimmed in black, catch me, and i swear my heart is loud enough for her to hear. so i hold my breath. everyone calls her a freak, but they obviously just can’t see it. and i shouldn’t want her either, but i do. i’d wrap myself right around the skull ring on her pinky finger. and she knows. god, she knows it too.

Freak
In the rose field lush and blooming splendidly; Be the cantaloupe.

Standout /ˈstandaʊt/
I want to lie in the low lights Listen to loud alternative music Feel chemicals relaxing my body And forget

Leider mache ich das immer noch
This must be it Welcome to the new year The drinks were consumed The plants were destroyed and the hor'deurves dismantled I'm not smiling behind this fake veneer I am often interrupted or completely ignored But most of all I'm bored I'm trying to find out if my words have any meaning Lackluster and full of contempt when it always ends the same Why won't you listen to me Why did I come Oh why did I come here These humans all **** I'd rather be home feeling violent and lonely I'm not trying to sound so insincere But the postcard that's taped to the freezer reads "wish you were here" How I wish I could disappear

but i am putting it down until it hurts and grips me vicariously 'til i'm twisted around- i'm turned into a mug's handle it's the same plastic feeling i had before i miss the solid glass, and the strips of wood i teased with my angel fingers the mirror couldn't see me today i didn't let it. how could i? my eyes are too small, here shaggy planet earth was invaded in 1981 beginning with my first soul: i was so young i didn't know better tossed out, i'm left to drink up the abundance of this world. swallowing more light and dark than my small eyes can; i turned to ethanol. hemingway entered my life in the fall of '09 i couldn't have been more in love. maybe that's why i'm pen in one hand, drink in the other.

and so here we are in pieces theres something about this starving that feels so appetizing something about this apathy this undecided feeling, something about this week that seems so far from real maybe it's the way i love the word haunting the daunting snarl of crumbling papers on homework after homework but somehow you're still failing it's filling your lungs over and over with air breathing in until you've lost feeling just to notice you are still drowning maybe it's the trust you lack in others maybe it's in your inability to speak to anyone lest they ask first, waiting until the very last second before you complete something you hadn't done, stressing over a list you've yet to make feeling like your heart might burst with every bite you take maybe it's friends, (or a lack-thereof) maybe it's you seeing them with so much love, maybe you've just become jealous or perhaps not enough? it might be double texting on airplane mode, wishing you could have anything to say though you never really cared much about them anyway and... and maybe they just hate your guts but maybe it's just you maybe it's simply "another thing you've found to worry about" maybe it's "because you're always on that phone" maybe you've been the one in the wrong all along because hey, those who stress so much about themselves but be selfish right? must be jealous. must be hard thinking of yourself so much that you've become a walking time bomb with a ticker that can never turn off. must **** knowing nothing and thinking you know it all. anxiety must be rough... but maybe you're just not anxious enough?

I am one but also many, there's no disease but I'm no shiny penny, I have many faces some you may know, some you may see, we all come and go. So be aware on how you fare when a new face passes by, for with all these aliases that I accrue, how do you know that I am not you?.

im searching for some other side some homeless home where im gone means less than letting go more of getting home is it so bad that my thoughts are showing outloud? soft only seems safe in concept im more cigarette ash, vowed to still water but a silent **** more of a secrets embodiment or just a body the more i think of it. the more i think it probably should've been me. whats a guilty conscience if you're never even conscious? darling i know it's my fault but while i sit, silent, gaudy, ornate, i feel it forming in my stomach i'm sorry i've never home anymore it's just been getting difficult to face anyone i miss our silent talks it hurts feeling so far gone if i die do you think hell could be my home?

bathroom floors always feel colder at night and i guess depression can never quite leave ones mind and i guess my dad can never get his head on right but its all in my head, these things its all make believe right? weve been edging on a state all summer and perhaps i forgot the difference between happy and apathy but you know ******* everything don't you? cuz i cant feel a god **** thing i said i felt good or good enough but i chased this demon and boxed it up i spun stories all undone now, figured out pushing down is better than falling flat on the ground bring me to church and even closer to tears again show me the things i hadn't known i'd been trying to forget and hold my shaking arms as i fall apart in your hands and ask me if i feel so tough is that enough? will it ever be ******* enough? its a bitter thing these limbo summers are.

Conservatives cannot admit that the White Nationalists were wrong "But what about Black Lives Matter. But what about the Alt-Left. But what about what Fox News said. But what about what our ******* cartoon of a president said." Think for yourself. You are feeling bad for Neo-Nazis. They killed people. They have a history of killing people. They would **** everyone that isn't white. This country has become disgusting. A large portion is defending the actions of terrorists. White Nationalists, ISIS-- They are, literally, the same. You cannot be peaceful when it comes to Nazis. By sympathizing with them, you are condoning them and creating more. The only good **** is a dead **** Be a ******* person, think for yourself, recognize true evil when you see it, you brainwashed *****

**** Sympathizing ****
i met my fate as the orange grass met the sky while i stood coddled up in sunlight, studious to some remnant of hope, either frequent or terminal i sat cradled in tears screaming, speak or swallow me up but perhaps the words came in sleep, or the bottom of my coffee cup dripping into my sleep and bursting from buds music to my ears or the flowers growing in love i met my fate at the edge of the suburbs, when i disappeared into my head, barefoot and hungry, dashing into forests, so numb, holding my weight in heavy rising lungs. i was fading, perpetual, my own burning constant. haunted and gaunt, and hardly ever conscious i met fate on the edge of chance, of a good luck charm. of a missing someone. i met fate in the words tangled in tongue where all you sing is unsung and if you can't walk, you'll run

The man who wears a leather belt and uses sensible words loves her in cobalt violet, in the streaks of a hazy violent sky after a storm has passed and she lets him he claims that the egg people are coming, they’ll bring with them handful of gifts of glory, of the things people hide in the crevices of sidewalks, in the spaces where identity cards are devoured by the teeth of the unknown the television is always on and the static that surrounds them is the serenading music she listens to before she falls asleep at night she pretends that love is painting one’s nails while the other loses their mind as he laughs at the invisible neighbors outside the window his bones can smell the coming of the apocalypse and it’s not in the form of a swarm, or a flood it comes in the bodies of girls with strawberry blonde hair and that’s why he’s so drawn to her and why his mother was swallowed by the earth she learns that illness comes in permanent mauve the walls of her room are covered in that hue the boy she sneaks cigarettes from at the diner in his car the color is almost a tangible personification the smoke blows out into the crisp air like a bag of potato chips the lungs constrict and expand the thoughts hindered from years of yielding to the yellow sun with the ****** robe the child, the woman, the human lives in **** but the thinker manages to escape years later and live in the suburbs on an easy paycheck from foolish strangers that believe that gasoline is a cheap party trick and a fantastic high she doesn’t recognize touch anymore besides the harsh graze of asphalt hitting her knees people seldom realize that freedom is not in the way your toes curl but in the way they finally unfurl how curious you can spot patterns where there are none to be rescued does not always come in the way of clean arms She loved him in transparent maroon the grasp of warm sand kissing you gently

A sinister plot unfoils As the masses cheer with glee Alt-right legion growing , don't want us to be free A revolution rumbling, justice for the spoils A sickness is spreading, stomach toils A warning of words, to open up eyes and see As hatred feeds on silence, of people who let it be A witness to the victims, the blood soaked soils
