His eyes are my escape route They take me anywhere I wanna go Which always leads right next to him When he looks at me I feel my soul become furious Somebody has me bothered I crave the scent of his cologne When the smell of it on my sweatshirt F A D E S away The limited-time only reminder that at one point He was on top of me And in that moment I was all that mattered to him The anxiety that lurks through my body Everytime I think of him The feeling in my body Everytime my brain remembers a happy moment With him Or sincere moments we shared Two broken people 80/20 I broke my own heart To give him pieces to fix his 20/80 My mind and what’s left of my heart are at war Because of him Because of him, his smile And his quirky laugh that quench the desire Of the simplicity of his existence; My heart won’t let me be at peace My mind tells me to let go Reflecting on post trauma Nothing is better than feeling Wanted but safe By the person you want the most But nothing is worse than feeling You’re not good enough for the person You want most Looking into his eyes again Constantly searching for reassurance And then suddenly the source of happiness vanishes you were only a distraction While what was really wanted Wasn’t accessible allowing attachment is unbelievably dangerous But learning to let go is worse

Him
I run, they chase. Genetically modifying the master race. We are trapped, for it will always know your face. Anytime and any place. ****** recognition in your private space. Never overlook a clue and never leave a  trace. For they will charge you with a premeditated sentence. Can we comprehend this as our fate, while others are being hurdled through these prison gates. Everyone can run but we'll never be hidden. This kind of knowledge is completely forbidden. We are the enemy as ponds set in place. So I run, yet they chase.

Golden Rule
You found friction, when so many told you to slip down with them. You were the safety to a gun-wielding chorus screaming: "Fire!" Shoved from the Fourth you fought to protect, to being snowed-in, half a hemisphere away from the coconuts and palm trees you fled. Hotel room to hotel room, the flesh from your skin dissolves, piece by piece — like a nation's artifacts. Resigned to watching a comedian's suicide trend on Twitter — an individual who made it easier to laugh and forget the words: "Liberty and Justice for All." You should grimace. Silenced. Snowed-in. Unable to even say, "America — please shovel me out."

A Snowed-in Hero
I will disappear in fog and night Subdued in sound sleep And surprise Blinding lights Overwhelming might They will spirit me away And charge me with my crimes They will call me many names Even some that I may claim But none will be my own Traitor or subversive Criminal or defendant Or maybe Even something worse But I refuse to swear allegiance To the police state And fealty to the men Clad in black I will not submit Nor ever kneel down Though they may lay me On the ground But they don't know That I stole into the great hall of Valhalla In deepest dark of night And took with me One of their mighty spears Usurped their valor And added it to my might Now they will have to carry me Proudly on my shield Though my burning bier Be but a lonely cell It will be my burial And tonight I will dine In the great hall of Valhalla That place that still lives on In the mind of men

We’ve been herded by hook and crook, To obey convention, and read textbook. The uniformity is maddening, And the subjects are baffling. The whole wide world is grand and open; Why cordon the mind off in a tiny token? Rules were meant to be broken, To usher change and issue motion. Creativity, art, they build up cultures, Not to be picked at by robotic vultures. They always nitpick and they scavenge, Intent on making things a challenge. Passion is the cornerstone of all, It survives when things are squall. It’s the sun that rises within you, Makes you things you never knew. Question everything, for your good; You’ll find more than you ever could. Explore everything, be curious; For the world out there is glorious. Challenge everything, be skeptical; Your brain is knowledge’s receptacle. Think outside, and break the rules; Don’t blindly follow, like the fools.
