#dated
I've dated sleep She is pleasant keep around But lately I’ve been cheating her Or she has been cheating me Well it does not matter who is cheating who Though it is most likely me who has been the fool I have covered my self with weariness to attract her But she refuses to come to me My eyes are open And my mind races But I know not why This is not the first time She has refused to comfort me But every now and again she leaves for a while And I am left to be in misery She will come eventually But not till early morn Or until the sun is born

I've dated sleep
Love and compassion needs to be remodelled From time to time As hatred is not yet dated

Up-Dated
The beginning of this Break. –Down At its foundation Fulfilling and self-reflective, and Rousing and neurotic and bright And perilous –a fever-dream ¬¬¬ Shadows that have stopped forming,       Dead        All The mornings are dead The passion is dead The feeling of the back of my neck –tiny hairs       All        Dead That human side has halted The “I-feel-like-a-pussy-but-” thoughts, gone All dreams All barren, with less than profound meaning ******* dead, behind the wheel. Car trapped Inside of a sad self-absorption A frozen-inlet, a fissure in the glass-jar Road paved with the litter of the late Night, bug-eyed witless carbon copy Phish fan Grave yard shift –stick worn-down-brain Lazily-littered, empty-shell of a Bottle flung, down to the pavement Down, into the gutter Down, into sewer Which sweeps, down into the **** Heavens And sits Down, endlessly Dreaming only to return Into life The insanity The heartbreak The fears The passions The talent The jokes The sickness The ******* Where it all starts Where it all eventually sleeps Where all of this **** came full circle Where the mind can return Where the body can lay, Down At the beginning of this. Break. –Down

Cover up (10w)
Laughing a lot in the days of yore But that was before and now I'm bored How am I sure? Is this a point of digression? Are you messing with me? Your inflection suggested questions I'm locked in depression Sullied with your indiscretion You're neurotic, I got it Don't bully me into confession A quixotic deposit chock full of repression I can posit the logic and guess at your own recession You're psychotic, a sociopathic happenstance At a passing glance despotic A rodeo clown that can laugh and dance You're toxic and top it all off, I hate your friends You've a blatant trend to condescend Transcend it then and try again

Everyone We've Ever Dated
The list of regrets That I have is overwhelming And my friends just don't understand I'm a perfectionist I over think my good deeds to death Until they are no more than A collection of moments where I could have done better But there are tiny fragments of moments That given the chance to slide back in time I would just sit back and watch And be proud of my choices The list of things I don't regret: 1. All the boys I've dated Because they taught me how I should And shouldn't be treated 2. Breaking up with the boys I've dated When I deserved better 3. when my ex best friend gave me a letter Apologizing for all of the snide remarks Subtle insults Talking behind my back And never sticking up for me Claiming that all of the new friends that she has Can't compare to me I threw out her letter and false promises Not because I finally brought myself to hate her But because I was finally strong enough to love myself 4. Climbing onto my roof that first time Though I got yelled at by my Angry mother I got to watch the stars And escape my worries I found my happy place 5. When one of my friends texted me Crying on the floor of her room with the door locked Fearing what was on the other side And I told her the three things I wish someone had of been there to tell me It's not your fault It's abuse Call the police 6.When I was trying to explain An important concept And on the fourth try Of my sentence I finally caught the attention of they guy On his phone And his extremely teenage response was "I'm listening. It's called multitasking. Need me to give you an explanation of how I can do it sweetheart?" And though I'm the quiet one who doesn't speak up Without missing a beat I responded with "No. I'd rather you give me your respect." And from then on I got it 7. When I let myself trust The gorgeous girl I met Because in my experience   The pretty girls are the mean ones But this one wasn't mean She was my best friend 8. Though I had never gone as a kid I applied to work at a camp Though I didn't know anyone else going I left with best friends And the best summer of my life 9. When I read my first poem out loud Shaking and lightheaded Having just shared a piece of myself And been accepted.

What I see
In every one-word world, exotic spaces' gradual state of life proclaimed as a melon . As the urges to divide the pleasures of the infernal forth from the happiness which has closed in to the square-shaped restless less rolling boxes. And what the treat is if all of the souls from the cypress take the higher breaths of the shrew and belabor them unto the points of humanity, uncivilized humanity that is quite bountifully. During this autumnal abscission where the alizarin and pallid arms and edges, crooked and afraid, steep in the sullied tatterdemalion and the mysophilia that emimart
