#dieyoung
when flowers wilt they embrace themselves curling in tightly as if dying so fast so young would hurt any less if they had a sense of comfort

uprooted
The first time I showed my grandmother my poetry, she looked me straight in the eye and said, "You know poets die young." I tried to push it away for years, just crazy words, from a dementia-suffering old woman. Now I can find the truth in the words. We are a community of wandering souls, looking for a place to call home, looking for someone to love that will love us back. We're a group of people who hide pain, who shove it into words, as we cry silent tears, every day becoming heavier under the weight of the world. No wonder we die young.

Shameless
Minds White Souls Missing Hearts blank Cold, lifeless wind through my hair Looking down at the glorious new world The moving blurs racing like chariots Scars are bunnies wanting to bounce away Sorrow flowing fast through my veins The time of sharp pains of his hands recurring Glass bottles smashing, skin dripping of disappointment Off I go to the colorful, hard sea 10, 9, 8 Guess they’re too late

Too Late
Electric guitar I won't go far Or travel the world in the back of a car I'll end up cremated in a jar

I wish to die young, I wish to die tomorrow. If I could buy a gun, I could wish away my sorrow.

I Accidentally Wished It.
