There is this weird balance of me needing it because i get to share my work but at the same time its a need for attention the views my work spreading like I've wanted it to for so long people actually understanding me the praise god i love the praise I yearn for the love and connection I gain i cant get over it it draws me in both ways then i get stressed out im not as good as i once thought. Consider giving it all up, but i know it's one of the only ways i feel better better about things i cant get help with

Transparency of the drains of writing and sharing poetry
What have things come too? Where has it all gone? The childhood it’s all gone, where did it go? I tried to get it back but there’s nothing to remember, what do I recollect? I don’t remember anything from head to toe. Why do I feel empty? What can I do to get my childhood memories back? Nothing. It’s all gone, it's faded to black, nothing is what I can recollect. What did I do to deserve this? What has come of me, memories I can’t remember. Why is it like this? What has happened for me to not remember? I’m so lost.

Childhood
It doesnt fit Theres an itch, like a wrong suit and I'm pulling at the sleeves To relieve the wrong ness, Because it shouldn't hurt this much. It shouldn't look like hand me downs and disaster, like patches and a picked at lack-lustre lie But it is, and I sit in it like the youngest. Not my style, not my choice Not my face or how I feel This unrealness is someone else's. The pattern is loud, proud of its garish Flambouyance, as it shows off the ache The geometric shape of my sharpness Against the soft of sad How it frames the sag around my shoulders. If only I were older, And time could take in the waist Sew the hems and make Me fit Somehow this is my skin How am I supposed to wear it?

lists
The past, Something some people try to forget And something some people revel in. Everyone's is unique, No past is exactly alike, Mine is different than others. I grew up too early, And learned that emotions were obsolete. They hindered more than helped, The only thing they brought was more pain I grew up, Knowing the things I go through Will shape me in the future. I grew up, Knowing I would always have to be strong, So I can protect others, From the horrors that I endured I grew up, Knowing the past will help shape my future The past is the past, And you can’t run away from it, No matter what, It will always come back to haunt you. You have to deal with it, And move on, No matter how hard it seems, The rollercoaster that is life, Will always have its kinks, But it will always end, In either a terrifying way, Or a satisfying way. You pick the way you want it to end.

The Past
Why couldn’t I be the child my parents wanted? Did God really want me to get picked on, The **** beat out of me By random people ****** Gay **** Even if I haven’t consented Dark alley ways Salty tears Life never seems to change Why me? The only question that haunts my mind Pain surges again and again What have I ever done to deserve this God I pray yet nothing good has come Barely able to walk, slipping into the house I refuse to call it home Blood pours as a knife clatters to the floor The distance starts to fade It goes black Now I’m staring at the same thing Four white walls Clean white sheets I’m waiting for the pain to just start again However the question lingers Why me? Why is it me?

Why?
The fingers slowly play the piano - The life that you have let be down But the melody remains silent It turned out one to be uneasy violent In lonely nights you disappear Losing sanity again in days You’re chained in a shadow sphere “You’re lost in dark” it says The wasted time you no care Living in a constant less Seems to belong to nowhere You ****** up I guess No more music this piano makes Nothing’s left but silence The melodies no person plays In your world of violence

To your less
I feel like I'm going down the road With no destination And I am leaving this place That I once called home I feel like I'm going down the road An open highway Without the lights of other cars to guide me Far from this place I once called home I feel like I'm going down the road Stuck in the passenger side At at the helm of this machine A beautiful face Her name is depression And she's become the one I love So take us where ever Sometimes I wish she'd drive Us off the road So I can finally feel peace

The Road
I never believed in luck just simply cast my fate to the waters and forgot it's direction. There's a dead promise in chasing others perception of yourself. It breathes a summer nights existence no breeze of jasmines scent to relive . I awoke today to see  the bottle empty my hand sliced open a pool of dried blood a reminder this **** is so far from controlled I have become a monster the clock is ticking and my time is borrowed at best . I don't ******* know how to put on the breaks it was never in my process of thought to begin with. All my idols are corpses. The brightest flame only burns for a spilt second before life extinguishes it and leaves it not even recognizable to it's former self. I began my day as all the rest. Why fear what you cannot avoid to begin with? I cleaned up swept the glass and buried my thoughts within myself. Ignoring the page was the worst crime of them all. And I was guilty on all counts

Another Morning And A Soon Demise
Laying all alone Wrapped in a blanket A blanket is all All alone No one to hold me, But my own two hands They caress my naked skin I shiver And the lonlyness consumes every inch of my flesh Contradictions fly through the air around me Should I keep holding out? What about the wreck of a life I've made for myself here? Where do I go? No one is here for me anymore All alone Abondond Neglected Abused Thrown out into the gutters of life Hated Spat upon Lost Forsaken Left all for dead She has always been the love of my life I've waited I've held out I've tried to do what's best for her Yet I've fucken shattered inside Nothing in me can hold it in anymore Every last drop is gone I think its time.I leave this hollow shell

I am ecstasy you put me in a trance as I look at you breathlessly but I am in pain because your other girlfriend looks at you the same

Liar.
My thoughts bleed onto paper, as if my heart was stabbed. Gushing forth, no bandage can stop it, A chasm is what is left of a beating heart. Voiceless laying dead on the ground.

The thunder woke me the same way you broke my heart. I sat up in bed, sweating, panic settling in The same way it welcomed me graciously when I realized I'd have to endure every single day without less than a single spoken word You won't even look at me. I used to fight for you, against you against the constant urges to look you directly in your gold threaded eyes and wonder why? There was a day where I fought for your heart and won. Nothing is the same. Now it's all detachment and denial from you, my thoughts, my anger from the amber glow that follows me radiating red a somewhat burning hell. Every morning I see you go to your locker That's when I can still hear the thunder.
