i see myself folded in half and half and half in your pocket; one of my poem scraps i write and tear from the corner of my notebooks tuck away and wash by accident. i see me forgotten but it doesn't matter, right? if you never cared you won't start now

I am a panoply Of all things inane My mind is half gone And my dreams Are a mess of the dead I'm probably concussed And I can't feel my legs So let's go steal Greenland To wash away the pain

written in a minute
you'll find someone else and drift away, leaving me in stone cold silence from day to day. Do you ever get tired? Because unlike you, even when I have someone, you run through my mind all day.

Love anyways
How does one go upon forgiving something they never faced? Avoidance is a forbidden fruit that yields only bitter aftertaste. Do we mislead to be okay, just to elude the debates? Do we ignore the pain, just to keep up the harmonious masquerades? And these contradictions we face: Of loving someone so much we disregard our own aches, even when they are those causal to this fate. This is a forgiveness we do not create, this is remembering what we cannot erase.

to be or not to be
I want someone to love me as much as I want to love God. And yet all I want is a day where I don't feel so alone here.

part 2.
Sleep. Sleep child, til' the light overpowers the darkness inside, where I secretly cried. I secretly tried, but no one would guess, and I never put my cards face up. It's only ketchup. Used to patch up, the cut and scratch ups, caused by the dull of my pencil, and my soul. I fell, but I dragged myself up again, back into my daily skin, and I'm that burden. That one whose not fully there, told by everyone, "you just don't care", with a random shudder scare. The words I despise you all think, even the shrink, and it drowns me to the sink. I'm that disaster, everyone's after, maniacal laughter. "Am I losing my mind?" "Is this mind really mine?" "Would dying be fine?" I'm not so refined :) I can see the things in perfect imagery, things I don't want to see, always worried everyone hates me. I can't see, I'm not me, I'm not even a somebody. Maybe inside is some other ghost, I'm the host, at my death let's just have a toast. Til' death do we part, take it as a new start, buy the roses to my grave from walmart. I didn't think I mattered anyways, sleeping through these pass-me-by days, my mind playing simon says. I always secretly try, but I am still I, and now simon says ".....goodbye."
