I open my eyes, with the hope to live a better day. A few breaths in, and I remember the last night- night, or the worst fear. When you are tired, struggling to sleep, when you know you have so much to say, but still hit the bed, reassuring yourself: there will come a day. When the thoughts take over, when the blanket absorbs your tears, when your whole life lies ahead of you, but all you see is darkness. The cruel darkness- the one that made me cry, to the extent that breathing felt like a task. The night that made fear my home, the night that made anger my excuse to sleep. The night when I experienced my first panic attack, not knowing what it was. Fear calmed the rage of my anger. The night when I woke up, started crying. The night when my anger made me sleep and my fear whispered, we will get through this. And yet, every morning, the thought of the night makes me grateful it ended.

Anger Let Me Sleep
I have stopped for a while to understand where am going So lost that I had to ask strangers for directions though I don't believe their every word but do I have an option at this crossroad Mind so filled with preconceived prejudice that letting go seems like a huge risk Am afloat holding a rope in the space Whose end is tied so tight I can't escape. I am here but not here at all Am I even moving or standing alone Is anyone listening reach out if you can before I let loose into the oblivion.

Crossroad
As the final flame burns to ash Darkness floods the world over A fog, suffocating all it consumes Until a darkened soul lights the empty ember restoring the lost flame

Burning Fog
His name, his name has been written inside of me as if my body was paper It's as if each letter has been carved on my naked heart (and I can't escape it) And it hurts painfully, my eyes are getting wetter And I can't face this weather (tear drop rain and love heart clouds). And his little stabbing words haunt me like the ghosts of future memories (The ones that will never take place) They sing stupid stick lullabies where the sounds of your voice feels like something I will learn to miss.   Due to the sight of him, he makes me casually swim in His Ocean I would cry for his affections I would cry and cry until Our Oceans become One And every thought would be his and would be mine too. Having a crush is like being in the Summer Rain.........   (Being (or thinking you are) madly in love with someone is normal, it creates madness, but just be aware of it, because love that you desire awaits you, you just need to be patience) Being patience is a virtue.

Sanity
Intoxicated by my thoughts. Wishing I knew what is making it all swerve around like snake or worm. I don’t know what caused it? It might had been the tragic event that happened on Wednesday? Even maybe this might be my next mental state prospective; that is strange like all of them. I wish that everything was normal and that I could think straight. Too many things my brain can process, a tragic event or my brain trying to confused me with answers on a test cause I start thinking about my future. Wishing I could go back to the past and be in those comfort memories, that I day dream about and play in a movie in my brain on constant. Only if I could dissect brain. Though I’m in this real world; I’m supposedly in. I could dissect it; however, it would be hard cause I have Derealization and Dyslexia.

Intoxicating
oceans are so serene and beautiful. oceans are so black and peril. my ocean changes frequently, i don't have much control over the waves. some days the waves are a sparkly blue, with warm sunshine warming it through and through. it sways so calm and lazily. other days not so placid. just like that the waves turn black and freezing, and the water crashes, smothering any beauty or peace in its sight. i on my small boat, have to ride the waves no matter what, they are mine of course. when the sea storm rumbles and brews i whisper to myself “don't drown don't drown” don't drown. i refuse to let my ship sink and go down. why you ask? well.. because i force myself to think of how stunning the ocean is on the good days, and how much my ocean can withstand on a stormy day. even if it is easier to let the water push my body under and take me, i will not drown.

my ocean
All I can say now is sorry my dear For I've known in my heart and in my head I can not stay, even if you are here For I'll be mad from my dawn 'till I'm dead And who knows, for I will never tell you Of that secret familial held curse Or if I tell you that this blood runs true You must know you can not **** this dark verse For with generations of maniacs All love from madness can not take me back

All Love From Madness
sickness in me you resemble a disease makes me ****** a bit queasy the needles slippery yet I need to feed to bleed to feel needed even if this feeling is uneasy you make me sick like a disease I beg for at my knees a mere touch a peculiar taste I find myself wasting away at the bottom of an ashtray burnt out exhumed with fumes beginning of a drought with this disease in pursuit of a vaccine ending of deceit and a desire to feel complete

(your a ) ... disease
I have this bad habit of getting close to people and meditating that they'll always be by my side; but they always leave I have this bad habit of loving people a tad bit much , when they din't even love me back; and when they leave me my heart feels as if someone threw it from the side of the woods I have this bad habit of caring for people ; when they don't think of me even once And I'm just so tired I'm tired , I'm tired I'm tired i just hope that one day i can find somebody that shares the same toxic habits as i do.
