#cliched
You were the reason why this was so painful For you could not see that I was not simple I was placid and deep Like the wine you'd drink Before you fell asleep I was gentle and mellow Like the whispers we shared Under sturdy pine's shadow I was fire and passion Like the wars we waged Our tongues colliding, clashing And I was firm and unending Like the long road ahead My perseverance, unbending My mistake, my benediction; Why could I not see That you were my Armageddon?

Armageddon
It's like a roller coaster This thing called life It's raining outside from the dark yawning sky The yellow streetlamps are all that makes the drops visible So it looks like the lamps are raining Light My heel bone can be felt through My skin People shudder at my face but Sadness isn't a sin It's more of a thought experiment A chance to learn When everything is hinged and Yellow - Black tinged You realize you have changed so And what you thought you would never be You have suddenly become Too many cliched words rhyme with 'see' Like be Me Key Tree Journey Free No white Is as white As a memory of whiteness And so the search for The deep darkness of a dream Is a fool's chore I think someone once said Every choice is an open door

This Thing
Be Positive Because Being negative Does not take you anywhere Being negative does not make you positive. .. .. so just be positive.. though it's a bit cliched a bit old fashioned to repeat.. It still makes lot more difference in a word which is +ve.

Be Positive
...centipedes underneath big rocks in the dirt. ...worms on the pavement in the rain. ...rotting roadkill you drove over today. ...maggots writhing inside of dead brains. ...rainbows in great puddles of oil. ...fakest person you'll ever ******* meet. ...weeds and crabgrass polluting the soil. ...reason I hate humanity. ...nightmares preventing your sleep. ...dreams making your knees weak. ...scab you can't stop picking. ...ulcer you can't stop licking. ...spider in the bathroom sink. ...shakes you get if you don't drink. ...doubt whispering inside your mind. ...lies you've been fed all your life.

I'm the...
It doesn’t make sense why I hate myself so much from the outside, but try to understand; everything that supposedly makes one stand out really just makes them blend in somewhere else. So I can’t sleep and don’t even want to be awake. I’m here because of that and a lot of **** I just can’t say out loud. **** it. **** everything.
