I have shadows where my eyes once were, for years I have spent clawing at them scratching the blood from my corneas and draining the tear drops from my duct slowly depleting myself from sight because I am tired of looking at the mirror and despising the broken emptiness. Thus, I see no evil because everything is dark.

Blind to Myself
I would die. We are so scary in love that if one of us were to kick the can the other one would follow. An almost suicide pact. If she was taken from me I don't know. I would probably seek out our moms. If my girl was taken from me I probably would not see the point of living, YES. I fell in love again. I told you it's happened twice. But this time she loves me too and she cares about me, and I care about her. She aint **** and my new mami is the one for me.

If she died
Can I touch eternity yet? Am I yet allowed to be disavowed Of such a false notion As putting things in motion Hey God, It's your favorite fraud Yearning for rebirth; For what it's worth: I never meant to mislead Perhaps this prison is a karmic deed, Or flawed practice bringing broken creed, And a twisted trace of place. Will I be free when sensate burning consumes me? Is there luminosity in insanity? Or perhaps I'm an example from the masters to we wayward ******** Of what we shouldn't do Or perhaps this is too much mind noise too. But if there's some greater sense A compassionate intelligence Please alleviate this burning pain Please let rain be just rain.

In search of forever
“I can't breathe. I'm suffocating. I feel sad, maybe. But I don't care, yeah I don't care. I'm still moving with the flow, I'll just have to get myself in check, with reality. I need to find another way to feel sane. Yeah, I need to find another way to feel something else but bleak. I can't breathe. I'm drowning with these sick thoughts. Maybe I'm insane, I can't help it. Oh, why do I have to feel this way. Can't I just feel stable for once, sane for once, or anything but sad for once. Can't  I Just feel Something else For once.”

[vent•ish//random poem] can't i feel something else for once
He awoke on frozen concrete, The broken glass. Locked door, let the house run down around us, At least we’re safe, right? We had Time on our hands, we always said we’d go Someplace, said our youth was a tragedy. We’re our own worst enemies, silent screaming, kicking ourselves out the door, glass limbs. Your hands fumbling over the catch of the lock, unmending the hinges. The last glass we owned skidded off the other side of the table, Throwing itself, disembodied and disfiguring onto the floor. We were empty in that last glass, Cold eyes at means to an end. Staring at the broken glass, wishing To his sleeping form It would glue itself back Together Together, It would glue itself back To his sleeping form. Staring at the broken glass, wishing, Cold eyes at means to an end. We were empty in that last glass, onto the floor, Throwing itself- disembodied and disfiguring- The last glass we owned skidded off the other side of the table, Your hands fumbling over the lock, unmending the hinges. Glass limbs. We’re our own worst enemies, silent... screaming, kicking ourselves out the door, Said our youth was a tragedy, We had Time on our hands, we always said we’d go Someplace, At least we’re safe... right? Locked door, let the house run down around us... The broken glass. He awoke on frozen concrete.

To His Sleeping Form
I just had the most powerful thought I've ever had. It hit me like a train dropped like a ton of bricks on my head knocked me over and took my breath away It was hard to grasp I don't have the capability to wrap my head around it and to be fully honest I probably never will but on the surface for some reason I know it could be true I know I'm not ready to accept it it's a lot of responsibility to have on my shoulders the weight that comes from this thought but I guess maybe maybe it could be honest just kind of hard to believe but I guess maybe there's a chance people might really actually kinda like me?

We want to serve our country. We want to stand up and fight. We want to be recognized as the ones, Who go all for what is right. Pushed aside, Unwanted and Belittled, The more rights we gain, more are torn down, Every time we try and stand for ourselves, We get told to put on our "pretty little gown." Women. Seen as a dependent. Someone who cannot handle the game, cannot handle the war. Forced to sit the bench of almost freedom. We must pretend to be someone we aren't, We are forced to stay behind, Why can't be recognized, like the others of mankind?

The Fight for Rights
did anyone ever care about my flowers? i never watered them as they should have been i drew them in gentle, attentive detail and kissed every petal and leaf i smelled their virtue until my arms ached with the repose of memories and triggers i never watered them as they should have been for that would have required slicing them.

Swirls are better than slashes, and I can tell you why. Swirls are better than slashes, for they help you up to fly. Swirls are better than slashes, with ink instead of red. Swirls are better than slashes, but they do not help your head.

if you find yourself attracted to the simple swirls of black ink against white lined school paper in a locker you know belongs to her, you know that you have severe problems.

It's Love...right?
The sunday quiet eases my mind, a welcome vacancy of thought spirals. In the distance a soft tune plays, music spins in and out of my space. It fills my limbs from head to toe spouting from my lips, my eyes, my- my music spins me into a daze and trance unlike a hypnotic phase. The sun beams high from its sunday spot, the clouds are fluffy, light, and white. And as the music blooms to peak, the lapping blue envelopes my cheeks. I float in absence of the my weight, absolute serenity claims a stay. Its clear blue sheen brings peace to mind, like I could drown here and still not die. Its weightlessness drenches my hair, yet when i shift into the air, the weight is heavier so much there. I intake life and fall to the floor, the most abnormal experiences are felt under this blue shore. My body trembles as reality shakes, my breathe is leaving, to the surface or to a calmer place? A disturbance by the door I hear, gentle giggles of my sisters near, I gasp for air as the bubbles explode, This sunday warmth is toxic yet not loathed.

To drown is to feel more bleakly alive Than the gold studded bees in a sapphire hive. To choke is to breathe in the Northerner's wind that exhumed itself from the smile he grinned. To burn is to feel the passions he hides that tear up his heart and corrupt his insides. And to live is to feel like you're finally dead Because life is not life, when it gets to your head.

Symmetry
Dizzy not silly tears are forming inhale - exhale feelings swarming. Maybe it'll rain wash away this pain inhale - exhale today. Drowning you're not around me inhale - exhale just surround me. No apathy lines are discrete inhale - exhale inside empty sheets. Feelings ricochet please don't go away inhale - exhale nothing remains.

Inhale - Exhale (series of 10w(s))
He looks like the kind of guy I want to take me steal me into the night and let nobody save me It feels like the kind of night with my hands tied above my head dazed with stars in my eyes lips on mine like flesh full of lead He's probably the kind of guy to bump straight into me on the train takes a week to agree to staying the night not very selfish and not that vain It's probably the kind of night When its going great in my head but we say our goodbyes and go straight home to bed.

urges
One day in my life- I had a very beautiful reverie We were walking along the shore No one was there, just you and me One day in my life- I had a real and glorious smile You were smiling back at me While I was walking through the aisle One day in my life- I had the best morning ever Together we watched the sunrise And we dreamed our dreams of forever One day in my life- Just another day of dreaming For now I am watching the sky While hoping, wishing, and praying...
