Pardon me as I burst into flames and vanish into a cloud of smoke. The world's some sick joke and I'm done trying to laugh.

Done Laughing
Trickling words Drip drop Flickering words Burn hot Whispering words Never forgot

Sounds of Gossip
Your inability to take accountability shows me the type of man I was with.

Accountability
Whenever I am content Or am feeling content, There’s always an air ready To brush away or undo my content, Just as a wrapper of gifts Witnesses her efforts to conceal shredded By the recipient.

Unhappy
There’ll never be a day, You look through my windows, As I’ll never see through yours. But I do love surprises. «c.h.b.»

Once a pessimist...
i cant help but think that right now, somewhere in the world, someone is listening to the same song i am listening to, someone is also reading the same book i am reading, someone is feeling the same sadness that i am feeling. but i like to think that i am the only person who feels this way right now. it's strange, how big this universe is but you were the only person who made it feel as small as a classroom when you looked at me for the first time and thought that i was pretty. it's terrifying, how salt looks like sugar or how satellites look like shooting stars. these lies are so natural but i never really understood the art of hurting people so i created a lie that seemed so natural so that i can leave you with dreams and wishes we made together for someone who never really understood me. it's heartbreaking, how in love i am with you even though you are no longer mine and will never be mine again. and i cant stop thinking and talking about you even though we are miles apart. i dont even know where you are. i cant help but think where you are and if you're happy. but the thought of you being happy is enough for me to live another day, less sad than yesterday. my love, i hope you are happy.

it's a sad cliche
This state of limbo is the calmest and scariest place to be. Where all of these decisions seem to matter long before they've been made. And here I am just staring down the possibilities... I can stop you know. I have self control and that is something I can be sure of. But even now, what are we supposed to do? I'll start with saying this: I'm not going anywhere. I am not a guarantee for what you might want, but I won't leave. I can't. So here's what I propose: Stop. Think. Act. And sure, that's brutal honesty, and it's not easy. But you've got an iron will do you not? For now... Just watch some TV with me. Please?

Christmas
It’s strange. I want to write elegant poetry That rhymes With metaphors And all the fancy poetic devices But whenever I start a poem That I planned on writing More eloquently And fancy It always comes out Random Without form Or anything special Sometimes I’ll get lucky And have a few good lines I used to be annoyed by that But now I don’t care I just want to write my poetry

Exhaustion
I do not need the world, At all. The winds and the waves crash, and the calamity ensues... and I sometimes don't even know. people fall in love, receive fame, fortune, accolades and more. Yet, there's always something missing. Something still not there, that wasn't there before. .... I remember that feeling. The craving, insatiable emptiness That can only be filled one way. And you're always pushing the line further and there's nothing you won't do for just a day. ..... It isn't that way anymore. I have a new sense of dissatisfaction. My heart can only be mended one Way. In only one fashion. Whenever I am not at peace, I look to the sky and the Lord reaches back out to me.

Don't Cry Anymore for Me
Back to school Everyones trying to look cool. When you're just there, staring like a fool. Sitting inside the classroom with some blurry thoughts. Waiting for someone to talk. But nobody did. Is this the feeling of hell? school is hell. dont ask me why, because I'll say... well, Lunch time, eating alone. Classes sitting at the back alone. Its like you just wanna be gone. Walking to your class, and doesnt even know where to go. Everyones giving you some ***** looks. You walked and walked and walked, but you're still lost. Not just lost in school... But you're also, losing yourself.
