I built you a bridge With my bare hands you torched it to ashes Just to watch it stand I gave you a map You tossed it away You cry for the road But won’t walk today I’ve seen this scene I know the score The same excuses Scattered on the floor Your story spins A revolving door You won’t pull through So why should I do what you refuse to? Keep your hollow yells And problems stacked like Dominos that never fell You beg for a lifeline While you sink I reach out my hand You let it slip I’m not your saviour Nor your saint I can’t carry all your weight You’re the villain in your tale And I won’t fix what you derail

why bother having my notifications on. it’s not like anyone will reach out. it’s not like my phone will light up. awn does that make you sad? what, i’m just telling you how it is. if you got a problem with it, why don’t you fix it? “people do reach out though,” okay, who? cause i ain’t getting the texts if someone is. “don’t say that about yourself,” why not? it’s the truth. why should i have my notifications on, if no one will notify me? there’s no point. if that’s sad to you, well then fix it. text me then. because i’m sick of doing your work for you. you're an adult, pull up your big girl pants and put in actual work for a friendship, do your part. i’m done. i’ll let you feel what i have been feeling, you probably won’t because it wouldn’t cross your mind. if now you think you should text me, well you're too late. don't care. don’t care if now you're trying, you should’ve been trying a long time ago. this is the real world babe, no sugar coating, no hand holding, no gentle parenting here. either do your part, or leave. so i guess you're leaving.

notifications
They clap our backs, nod their heads Look down and distant smile When we tug at their t-shirts And ask to be heard Their gazes wander, and block their ears Sneak a look at the television They sit us down, telling us to talk And in between, stand up when their phones ring They tell us that you will do great things some day That the world rests upon your hands You will climb to the top and pull each other up But keep pushing us down instead They tell us that you are the future And dive out of our thoughts They think it is an excuse For sizing us up, and declaring us not enough Not yet, they say. Not now, they murmur Have you ever thought that We don't want to be the future Because we need to be the present? That we don't want to lead the world But instead, just live in it? That before we want to do things that are great We just want to live in a world that is?

Not Now, Not Yet
It sounded too ironic that the person can't take stand when the people that they trusted wouldn't even lend a hand and their words that made memories that world where they were glad it all is slowly vanishing melting with the sun some people would not value you even if you offer life importance is only given to those they'd benefit from and yes, I am disappointed feeling used then trashed I just wished I mattered that they would understand I too am, I am a person That I too, get fed up

Fed up
If it be that all the world is a stage and we are but players? If its okay with the producer and director... can I just help paint the set!? Someone else can have my role in the show.

Frustration
After hours of sleeping I wake up to suddenly start weeping Every year I’ve grown Nothing but alone Not a single friend I think this is the end Nothing but pain Lying in rain Losing control of the tears It’s been too many years I'm fed up All because of one break up Wanting to take my life Go get me a knife

Everywhere I look I see pain
I've watched the movies of my ages, Even those that were before, I've read books of teenage feelings, I've read about leprechauns. The world has become an endless series, The scenes repeat in every lore, There's no book that could surprise me, The same stories in every store. My eyes are saying they are full of seeing, They are replete of colours, Even my mouth is fed of disagreeing, They both wish to remain closed. While my eyelids are feignedly sleeping, While my lips are firmly closed, The darkness is calling and appealing, But the movie colours shout. The films keep shooting everywhere, Like an ever writing Molière, But do the plays interest me more, Or not seeing them anymore?

the foundation of everything honest to god truth faith. what's the use? The darkness inside you creeps its way in. How does one recover, repair broken trust? The reaper is on his way, your soul is no use. Call a saviour, pray to the lord, Maybe he'll decide to pity you. cause i sure as hell won't, so good day to you.

Trust.
I’m no longer a fighter, At least not the one you once knew; The world isn't getting brighter; Just a little bit darker. Friends seem farther, Demons just a little bit closer. With my thinking, There’s never closure; I can’t ever find my way. For in the dark of night, I seek the light of day. Gone down the wrong road, I'm not a prince, just a toad; Buried beneath, Stuck in Morse code. Thought I could go god mode; Super strength, all-powerful. I thought I was incredible, But I'm no Bruce Banner. I thought I was invincible, But I'm no Iron Man. More like the Metal Man, Meddling in affairs. ‘Cept life's not fair. Already placed in battle, Rifle running rattle, I’m training like a soldier; Thoughts crowding like cattle, Thought I could hold her; She's all I can think about. Can't get her out of my head. Used to feel alive, Now, I'm feeling dead. This one-sided attraction, Self-doubt, large fraction, Chemical chain reaction; Rejection, hit like a wall, Made me fall; Like first king, Saul, Can't stand tall. Am I a man? Can't hold her hand. It's like Wendy and Peter Pan, Lost in Neverland. I feel paralyzed, No vice vision; Fast forward, Rewind. No direction, I'm blind. This is my body. This is my mind. Muscle-memory mimicry, Chained down, I thought that I was free. Guard up, I thought that I could be me. You see, I used to be a fighter. But I'm tired of fighting. I should've enlisted, Here, I never existed. This story's end, Happily never after; This decade's end, Turning twenty-one; My match has ended. And I still haven't won. Fire's been extinguished. Fuel tank's empty. No more will in me. The pressure's killing me. Bout to go off, Time's ticking to two; These gloves, I'm hanging up, I'm finally through. Points don't matter, The price ain't right. I ain't a Mad Hatter, I’m down, no flight. Insanity isn't my vanity; I feel like I've lost my humanity, I'm not trying to be a tragedy, In all actuality, I've reached my capacity; Anxiety caused a calamity, And, now, this is my reality. A fighter no more, I lost the war. Yeah, I ain't Thor; I may have lost my roar, But my legacy leaves a lore. Unworthy of the hammer, I feel like I'm in the slammer. Outcast like the Martian from Mars, Stone walls and iron bars; They say that I should Reach for the stars. You’ll reach Jupiter in no time, Just get on the grind, and climb. They say that my writing's good; But good was never enough. Just gotta act tough, and You'll get through the rough stuff.

I'm so sick of being blamed, Getting yelled at for adults' and teachers' mistakes All because of the "she said, he said" bull I've devoted so much time into my job I've been a good student with honor and higher grade classes I've always gone the extra mile and scored those brownie points Yet now I'm on lockdown Who knew acting out and skipping classes for once All due to my mother's threats of kicking me out along with my suicidal thoughts Would bring everyone to ******* hate me Haha but listen here, I won't give up that easily; I'll bite back with venom and fangs while you try to toss me in a cage I'll show you I'm the one who ******* rules my life And that _I_ make my own decisions Even if that means ending my own life

Heartache
Lately I've been a little moody I get triggered by comments made on a video or a tweet or the supposed leader of our nation spouting his views on ****** assault victims.... The real victims....men and boys that are being accused of a horrible act Innocent yet treated like they're guilty. Please, don't get me wrong. Being falsely accused is terrible. Any one guilty of it should be held liable. But, after all of the victims, women and men alike coming forward to tell their stories, he speaks on behalf of the accused.....Am I stupid for being angry? What really disappoints me are the people that get upset when women react to such insensitive views. They tweet or comment and I try to have conversations with these people and end up screaming into a pillow! I walk away wondering if it's worth my time to make my point of view understood. Will I ever change any ones mind? It's the black lives matter vs all lives matter struggles all over again! The argument of should players stand for the anthem! Why don't people understand that saying black lives matter doesn't mean ONLY black lives matter, it's a way of saying Please remember!!! Black lives matter TOO! Stop the hate!!! People of color are being discriminated against and we are tired. So finally a man decides to protest by calmly taking knee during the anthem aaaaannnd......here HE comes to manipulate the meaning of it all and makes it about disrespecting the flag and our troops. And don't even get me started on gay rights! To be treated like second class citizens is ludicrous! How fantastically absurd to be told by your own government that you cannot marry the person you love! And because life has to be just a little more unfair the LGBTQ community are at high risk for ****** assault and hate crimes too! I realize none of this is new....I guess the Kavanaugh hearing triggered me and I can't seem to get it off my mind. I heard Dr. Ford's testimony and watched as so many people, including the man himself, come with more and more ****** excuses and a half *** investigation and in the end he sits on the supreme court any way. I'll do my duty....I'll use my voice and vote, but I live in a red state and I know it's an up hill battle. One that may be lost. But I've said my piece. If you've read through it all, thank you. If you agree with me, keep fighting. If you don't, I respect your opinion, but I'll never understand it.

I am still wondering
When I said that I loved you boy did I lie I was willing to break up more than I was willing to try. Don't be surprised of the words I say and what you don't know you'll find out today. Don't get me wrong but I think it's fair for me to tell you I just don't care. There use to be a time when I was very enthused now it's a matter of time of the new person I'll choose.

Break Up
A stake through my heart <3 What would it feel like. THE HEART That beated for you,will suddenly stop. These eyes, that always longed to see you will close forever. These ears, that always craved to hear your voice, will never listen anything from you again. These lips, that always wanted to talk to you will be silent till eternity. My body that always wished for your hug, will turn cold forever. "JUST A STAKE THROUGH MY HEART" #14

Dying Love
Before you call me patient, maybe step in a little closer; continue your inspection. What you'll find is this: my tolerance stems more from letting people trample over me than from any conscious effort to be kind, so take caution. You've become so casual in your continuous disrespect; it's building a fire of aggravation. I didn't love myself and I didn't believe I deserved to, but I'm learning - and I still have a tremendous distance to go - that I am worth much more than my previous prediction. Moving on from you seems so foreign. Your loss would be the weirdest mixture; an excited lamentation. All I hope is that you benefitted from my so-called patience and that the world I showed you was a step up from reality - almost like a temporary life promotion.

Grades
"Amongst the money, the cars The shoes and the clothes Lies ******* ******* ******* And strippers and hoes" Have i covered it all Have i covered our down fall How we lost ourselves Befor we even began How we lacked pride Lost our innovation Set exploring aside For ****** presentations Thats all the music says/shows now And still you dance along Cause Sundays you bow God will surely forgive after all "He should understand we are humans Our urges are greater than their consequence Boys will be boys Girls are their toys" Well my sisters aren't property So address them by their name I wish them equality And not be instruments of lust and fame

my sister isn't property
"Aren't you tired of feeling the pain again and again. Looking for the lost pieces, You know lost things never find their way back, right? Don't you feel worn out of stretched skin and aching muscles. You know its making you look pale and fragile, right? Aren't you fed up of looking for long lost happiness. You know its not coming back, right? Don't you feel sick of being desperate for just warmth and love. You know they don't exist, right?" "You need to do something other than getting hurt all the time." "I know, I know. I'm trying."

Untitled
This role I'm playing is exhausting Of watching you watching me Of smiling, of laughing Of not cracking when you blink This being human is tiring, Its not as great as they said it would be The acting, the pretending, The standing strong when you're weak This staying alive thing is excruciating Of being in pain and wishing to be free Of trying, of crying Of not being able to be me

This Thing
I am begging "Myself", to rest me from those things moving inside my spirit! I am begging "Myself", to release me from the pain of wearing the PokerFace! I am tired to keep that fire held between my skins... I am fed up with all those beats all over my body and spirit! I am wondering why her name provokes such vibes! I am begging the Unknown place of me, wondering where my life will end with those paths!

The Begging!
When your footsteps seem to fall back, At first you'll just laugh. You'll brush it off with a smile on your lips, Saying this is just a temporary mess. But then you fall back again, And your patience wears a little thin. You still stand up tall, But your empowerment is not quite the same anymore. You tell yourself it's okay, Until you stumble over your feet. You sob into the ground, And realize slowly, there's no getting up now.
