I’m the one who walks a lonely road the only one I have ever known With my own ST. JIMMY who I ask to GIVE ME NOVOCAINE The one who gives me my novacaine, so I won't feel a thing And be a 21ST CENTURY BREAKDOWN losing what's left of my mind Just being one of THE FORGOTTEN inside someone’s memory Always singing the punk SONG OF THE CENTURY Wishing I wasn’t the song EXTRAORDINARY GIRL Hoping that I’m not always ST. JIMMY THE AMERICAN IDIOT

ST. JIMMY THE AMERICAN IDIOT
A night spent with a fandom family At a place where you can be yourself With bands that understand you Where you can say Thnks Fr Th Mmrs afterwards For them making you never feel like you're alone Cause they made it feel like home at the show That's What Hella Mega Tour Means To Me

What Hella Mega Tour Means To Me
Sitting here in The middle of the night All I can think about is you, But also being the best version of myself. Yesterday is just a day and it's in the past, moving forward One day at a time, you can only try to do better than the day before. Understanding life is hard and we're all in this together In the middle of the Night I Think, if we can all work to get and Help each other, oh how the Earth would be a much better place.... HOPE, LOVE, PEACE.... Each day we can only hope that the younger generation can fix our mistakes And change our world.... Right now, I lay here next To you sleeping and can only hope for the future.

Stab You In The Heart
I'm lying on my bed and Green Day is singing, I'm drinking my tea and sometimes i'm thinking. Dreaming about the time when we'll be together, If you left me alone tell me i'll go to where? My cat is sleeping early today as always, I've tried to walk to you with the all ways. But you burned down every bridge between us, You gone away and now i'm totally in muss.

Single Night
Dylan got it first, as he often did, That American youth were ignorant kids, Betrayed by the things our parents hid. And we were insulted just a little bit But we listened and took the plunge, Determined to expunge The poison and let out the Id. It was up to us not heed the call up And as one voice we stood up, Saying, shouting NO! Twenty or so legendary years for some; While others sold out, we beat the drum. Our peers oddly died around us but…. Even as we ‘felt those cold hands’ touch our skin, As The Capitalists were closing in— & Some of them were us… We sounded the drum. Later on some hippie-punks or is it the other way(?) Sang about extraordinary girls & then took a fall. Sometimes begged for Novocain Which wouldn’t relieve psychic pain, Like being Ramonely sedated in a concert hall. Nobody knew what to do with them. Except to give them fame. (It was just as bad for them as for the Clash)… Hell, they almost invented the mash-up. And too many anti-hippie punks Loaded on cheap ****** or always drunk, Claimed all those heroes had sold out. But Ziggy would’ve known Ash from Ash. Then came their Blood on the Tracks; They finally saw what Dylan saw, Or, if they saw it before, They got some Real Emotion back. Nothing has changed and everything has changed, Said The Heathen…and he should know. But how do we see, stuck here ‘so far below’, Not remotely in the know; They might be on an intergalactic trip Or as in “A.I”, nothing more than a binary blip? But encased in virtual ice, how can we live? Until the end…and even then… As John wrote, we only get the love we give.

There’s no point in going to bed Or closing the shutters on my eyes Because I believe that sleep is for the dead And rest I don’t prioritize There is no American noise When everyone else is quietly slumbering One of my favorite parts about three AM Is peace and tranquil wondering My brain is like a pair of eyes And the optometrist is changing the lens Conjectures and notions are out of focus Here and there and back again My mind is an untuned radio Thoughts, an endless garble of static I’m swimming in between the airwaves And my body functions are automatic Languor sometimes hits me Like a wave crashing on a shore But soon enough it has dissipated As if it was never there before Count the circles ‘round my eyes Like the rings on an ancient tree How many sleepless nights am I at now? Because melatonin is an escapee. My spirit is miles and miles away Wandering where it wants to If only someone would bring it back Since sleep is long past overdue.

*(i'm 42% sure i don't exist.)* intensely greased plastic hair secondhand green day coldplay in the rain i love the sound that waxed paper deli sheets make and i could choke on a glassed reflection of celery salts and windex. *(i'm 42% sure i don't exist because when i look into my eyes i see someone else)* i'm not catholic and do not understand who st. peter is but i wonder if he won't let us into heaven because we're failures or if we're failures because he won't let us into heaven *(i'm 42% sure i don't exist and questioning how bad hell can really be.)* too quiet for a saturday i wrote the word decaf so many times i forgot how to spell it decaf decaf decaf decaf *(does decaf have two f's? because i don't have two f's to give anymore i mean i would but i can't even find vowels much less extra consonants)* when i was a child i always counted in mississippis now that i'm older i find myself counting in cappuccinos i dreamed my legs were bleeding and i remembered that they're not i want so badly just to sleep in a bag of crystallized ginger and swim in a mixing bowl of tasteless tea. *(i can't tell what's real anymore but i'm 42% sure that i am not.)*

Your Voice
Stay silent, eyes sewn shut, and you can almost hear the whispers from where they once were when they were still here; chatter, laughter, now only a blur, white noise. you get used to it, you know? Stay silent, with every sore step on blistered soles, and you can almost hear the shattering of abandoned dreams fractions upon fractions; the satisfying cracking almost like an attraction a sick addiction of mine. you get used to it, you know? Stay silent, with the company of only your shadow, and you can almost hear every breath of this godforsaken town, breathing in... and out... a frosty wind blowing at your fingertips, only to reassure a sense of belonging. you stay awake as the city drowns into an awful slumber. until my demons find me, I'll walk alone, you'll get used to it, anyway.

Boulevard of Broken Dreams
I wish you could be here to feel my heart flutter when I think about you Funny, because I hardly know you, but I still wish to be in your arms. Arms which I've ever felt. You're an enigma to me; mysterious yet captivating, and I want to solve you. I want to pick up your pieces and put them together like a jigsaw puzzle. I want to see the picture they make when they come together, and cry when I have to take it apart put the pieces back in the box. I want to fall asleep thinking about you, and get a text message that you are thinking about me too. I want to hold your hand and trace the lines on your palm, The heart line and life line, and laugh when yours and mine match. I want to lean in close and whisper secrets only we know and you'll whisper back that you agree. I want you to mess my hair up. I want my mother to be suspicious when I come home wearing your sweatshirt and not mine. I want to lay out in the grass together watching the clouds with headphones in, listening to Green Day because I know you like them. I know that much about you. I know your eyes are brown and dark and your mother thinks you are gorgeous. I know your speech slurs when you get excited and start talking fast. I know you tease me, and I think you like me too, but I don't know that for sure. I know you have a silly ring of hat hair when you leave work, and I hate it but I love it too. I know I recall all these things about you to write this poem, and I'm smiling as I think about you. I wonder what you are doing right now, not this, for sure, you're probably playing Xbox with your friends and thinking about graduating in two weeks. But not me, I'm thinking about you, funny, I know, because I really hardly know you, but maybe that's okay, maybe one day I will know something about you.
