Life is a placebo. Endless obstacles, difficulties to overcome. Eyes set on goals we'd thought we'd achieve even if it drained us of all but an inkling of hope. Lies on parchment the truth of life, and I am but a quotation, repeating words of false hope so others can believe we don't all die wishing to amend even one mistake.

false truths
I held you dear Treasured you Treated you well Never a frown to be seen So then why did she ask wheres your smile? Where was it? Ive checked everywhere Inside,Outside, no where to be seen, This sensation befell on me, As if my lungs gave up A calm feeling As if the ocean has finally swallowed me whole Is this it? Is this the end? Dear God i hope so.

Value
The gurgle of the coffee maker, The clink of your spoon on the frigid counter, The sizzle of bacon residue in a frying pan, and an egg cracking over it. The murmurs of the news reporters on the tv, The distant roar of a train in the background, The dive into sensory pleasure, while reality dissipates. The smell of hazelnut creamer and cinnamon, The taste of a waffle with buttery syrup, The warm sun on your face through the window, today is good; today will be different. The giggles of the waffles and coffee, The light conversation and hard laughter, The feeling of home... within them, a sudden shift in atmosphere. The sharp loss of appetite The grieving of what wasn’t lost The shared remorse for nothing you’ve done they tell you that you’re pathetic. The despair in your mug dropping into the table The swallowed tears and screams The chaos that covers every square inch of you distance between you and hope still stands. The ***** kitchen and your empty stomach The distressing moonlight that creeps in the window The anger in thinking you’re liberated this time sounds of an empty home stir. The cold seats that have accompanied nobody The wallowing roar of silence The jacket of despair that wears you your average day.

Your average day
Her eyes are welling up with angry tears She drowns in them with all her lonely fears Save her please before the red milk spills 1, 2, 3, time to pop a pink pill She's on her own 'cause no one seems to understand She's all alone with the bottle in her hand Relieve her, darling, I know you will 1, 2, 3, downs another pink pill Her weak heart strains within her chest It's all worn out from being ripped to shreds And she tries laughing so loudly through the pain But every day ends up being the same She walks through life, a plastic smile on her face She doesn't wanna be here in the first place And as time flows by, so does her eyes Telling the world that she's fine, but it's all lies Of course no one'll realize she's reliving her past Her mama never coming home as she wonders who's her dad Guys ignore her, while girls are torture Going through the motions, slowly overdosing Her eyes are welling up with angry tears She drowns in them with all her lonely fears Save her please before the red milk spills 1, 2, 3, time to pop a pink pill She's on her own 'cause no one seems to understand She's all alone with the bottle in her hand Relieve her, darling, I know you will 1, 2, 3, downs another pink pill Little by little, one by one She doesn't have to explain to anyone Two, three, four, just a little bit more She thinks, "What's the point? What am I even here for?" With a lump in her throat as she lies in bed She closes her eyes and rests her head The tears begin to stream, all she wanna do is scream Overwhelmed with emotions, she keeps on overdosing Her eyes are welling up with angry tears She drowns in them with all her lonely fears Save her please before the red milk spills 1, 2, 3, time to pop a pink pill She's on her own 'cause no one seems to understand She's all alone with the bottle in her hand Relieve her, darling, I know you will 1, 2, 3, downs another pink pill Make the pain go away, make it disappear I wish someone had stayed, wish someone were here Uh oh, but now it's too late I am letting myself fade Fade away, fade away Now I guess everything'll be okay Her eyes were welled up with lonely tears She drowned in them with all of her fears Free this little angel, we hope you will As she leaves behind her pretty pink pills

They dwell in the shadows— The darkness is all-consuming, reckless, obliterating Everything in its path, wreaking havoc on her world They surround her like a cloud of smoke, making it impossible to breathe, They thirst for control, they hunger for power— They hunger for her beating heart, its rhythmic beat resonating into Their dark, empty, lifeless souls. They feed on her very existence: mind, body, and soul. She struggles to fend off the toxic hands that seem to Wrap her in their suffocating embrace, crushing the depths of her soul— ******* her into the blazing, torturous inferno of hell Their sinister voices penetrate into the depths of her mind— Her thoughts, feelings, and actions intertwine with their Evil and corrupt unholy caldrons. These are her demons. They are part of her. They are her world. They hold her in ******* She is a prisoner waiting to be freed from her captivity. This silence is deafening; the world has suddenly gone numb. She is paralyzed by fear. And in an instant, darkness engulfs her broken spirit.

Demons
I’m just, tired. That’s what you tell people, I need some sleep that’s all, Well I’ve been just tired for about 6 months or so now, And the feeling is just foul, It’s just not easy, Leaves me needy, No matter how long I sleep, I’m still just tired, Still need some more sleep, The world has opened to me, The sick twisted horrors this world is now revealing, To be honest, Suicide has never been more appealing, I’m a depressed mess. But still all they hear is, I’m just tired, I just need some more sleep, Because I’m just tired, I just need some more sleep, Or someone to take that leap, Have a conversation with me so deep, Find out I use the dark nights to weep, Cos all I want to do is sleep, forever. Because I’m just tired, of everything.

Tired
Insulted for no just cause Accused of being to religious ****** for helping the poor Cursed for taking right action Arrested for telling the masses How the incongruous and imprudent Politician stole and squandered the country’s fund Beating for knowing and revealing the truth Burnt his house, for teaching the citizens how to preserve Murdered his wife and children, for refusing to compromise Lived a frustrated life And his reward for fighting against the **** sapiens Death! A man who lived only just to die!

Trembling
Dread brought out from my forest of feelings. I order myself around, head down, don't show your blush, your face is flushed, they're gone now look up. Yes. I have a crush; But this isn't just a crush its a crime, against God, my mother, that girl who just said gross. More orders. Sit down, look away as she smiles in your face because you will only fall harder for her. Oh, how I wish I could touch her hair and see if its really as soft as it looks. her eyes are so inviting and they seem deeper than the ocean. Flawless or flaw filled skin I Don't care! All I see is a beautiful girl that will never be mine, on the sidelines is where I stand at the dance. Waiting for a dance with her that will never happen. Just another to the puzzle and I'm exactly the perfect fit for a best friend just not a girlfriend. Those eyes. So full of wonder and joy but mine only filled with pain because she doesn't feel the same as I do. Sit down, don't look around, don't breathe in her flowery scent as if is your last breath. The roses only bloom in the spring but she is a rose of another breed, blossoming into the most beautiful flower all year round. Slim fingers for a warm embrace, oh if I could trace the lines in her face I would remove every frustration. Her mind is as beautiful as she, knowledge filled, ready to build up walls to keep everything out. I want to tear down them down, see her frown turn up. My orders. No! Don't touch her rosy cheeks, stop trying to peak at her smile, when she asks you what's wrong brush it off! If we could just go back to first grade where I first fell for her I would never have said hello. Kept my mouth shut and taught my heart to do the same. Most say that I'm confused and that I can never truly understand love but I do. I love her! My Final orders. Be a Good Friend. Don't cry. Don't let her see you pain

Age is a timeless prospect. Youth refolds into a thick mold, Heavy and demanding But continuously folding matted knowledge. Forgiveness A steady, strong suit handed out to each player When it's true form is the rarest form Of acceptance. A fighter must be as sharp and as slick as a blade, To be as critical and focused As a bullet leaving the carrier when aimed But not as deadly. There will always be a balance Nature runs on a cycle that all fumble on In the arise of dust left behind; In its presence Becoming lost is about as natural as the cycle itself - An obstacle can be overcome In the way that a challenge lights a fire In pride, All must accept; Smoke clouds are blinding Having the urgency to defend The drive to push harder may as well be lost too. In the midst of a cloud A branch could very well be a snake.

ouch and aches
Agony of memories shackled in soul Loss of control Cult raised isolation bred within youth Eureka of truth Abandoned by love own motherhood start Burden of heart Maternal disease and death's lengthy fight Daytime to night Caring in vain is like tightening rope Grasping for hope Sweet child now mortal illness attacked Mind being racked No support acquaintance or true friend Alone till end Questioning Deity in trial with doubt Childish I pout Weakness in battle spirit slowly died Strength not inside Broken wondering why His small pawn Can't carry on

Victim of life
A battle always fought To my heart's content I lost My brain would rejoice in defeat I would gather strength to retreat Divided, I fight In a pitiful plight That no one even cares Not a single cheer you will hear Like a jester I joke About my caustic yoke I make light out of the matter And every one replies with laughter Proud of my achievement I wail in disappointment But still smiling I weep For this to myself I keep My last hope shattered No where to be found Like tattered cloth i'm worthless Just some *** lying around Clenching my face I don't know what to do I can't do anything To stop this wound Like migraine I kneel Pray to stop the pain A wall was my answer Streaming blood my gain Tired I lie On the ground while I weep But laughing comes life With a deal that I must keep To forever wander In this forsaken world forever To bear burden for no one And cower in fear of others Hopeless I accept the terms and agreement To lock myself forever In this caustic life of terror

All of this torment I did not consent In all this suffering There is no comforting In all this despair No one cares In this grief I get no relief I am so spent More than bent In all this pain I am not sane In all this anguish I just languish It's pure desolation If I failed to mention With no more hope I only cope

Just here on the verge of tears. Wondering when it'll go away. If it'll ever go away. I don't need it. I want it. Will I survive? Probably. Do I want to? That's a different story.

*Red and white Head feeling lite Sweetness of tear Showing all fear Scream so silent Making it violent Metal to skin Will never win Pill to lips Scars on hips Hands hold rope Strangling last hope Sleep long forgotten Thoughts so rotten Food like poison Trap like prison Life crumble away Sanity won't stay Ghostly last breath Now welcomes death*

The end
I wanted to go everywhere with you, to dive into your past, the beautiful and the ***** To meet every version of self you have ever been. I wanted to see your frosting stained smile on your 8th birthday. To know you when innocence and hope still reigned. I wanted to hear your midnight laughter on an ordinary Tuesday in California. To sit on the floor in that apartment that you couldn't afford to furnish. I wanted to walk hand in hand through the years of your life. And when my curiosity had been sated with endless waves of knowledge of you, I had hoped you would've liked to walk through my stories. To meet the now-gone women who molded my soul and gifted me with love and a sarcastic sense of humor. I wanted you to greedily feast upon all my days gone by. Armed with an overwhelming acceptance of one another, I hoped we would embark on a path we forged together. I dreamt that when I savored pasta in Venice, I would look up to see you sitting across the table. I imagined that your smile was the last delight I would feel before I slowly drifted to sleep in Amsterdam. I thought the next time I dove under a salty wave, It would be you at my side. I wanted to experience every taste, every touch and every breath with you standing next to me. For, life was more beautiful with your hand in mine. You were my welcome rose-colored glasses, now laying shattered on the floor. Without you I see the world in all of its harsh grotesqueness. Without your cloud of sweetness, My past pain and horror yet unknown have taken on new strength. I now only wish to travel back to the time, when I thought I had a chance with your heart.

Am crying, thinking and re-correcting my mistakes. Trying to fix things that I broke Erasing the past that we made It's hard, *** we wrote it in ink It's hard to let this sink. It hurts to see you leave And I wish you could feel how I feel But I know tym will heal Definitely someone broke our seal And this time, I know it's for real.
