Inadequacy
At your place You suspend my coat and my ethics By then i'm entering my stealth Working on selflessness Because you may hound Because you may roam You may find these unskippable moods all alone You may find that i'm not a bird lifting trees and stones

It's cold tonight, And I should be too. It's cold tonight, And ***** this and ***** you. It's cold tonight, And why should I care? It's cold tonight And I'm shivering And I'm shaking And I just can't breathe god **** it. It's cold tonight And I just want to be alone and freeze, Because the only person I want to be warm around Is four hundred god **** miles away. And when your words distance themselves From your heart It hurts to not be reassured When all you wanna hear is that they'll stay, That it's gonna be a-o-fuckin'-kay. But you don't even know. It's cold tonight, And so am I. It's cold tonight, And cut me open, I won't bleed, I swear, I'll shatter. It's cold tonight, And I'm angry for no reason, Throwing a god **** tantrum, Because my heart hurts and You're distant. And I know I'm immature I know I have no reason to be upset, But I am and I can't pinpoint why and **** it. Whatever, Forget it. I can't even make sense To myself. It's cold tonight, And so am I.

It's Cold Tonight
Can't say I'm not disappointed, in how we got off track I'm not double jointed, bending my fingers back The needles and the pills, are our choice of escape getting our joy and fill, creating  pans to scrape No not us, forever young never to succumb institutional logic, remaining dumb, and numb Just because they said it, doesn't mean that we heard all the uttered warnings, and the damage now incurred This is your brain on drugs, we've all been told before dismissive with our shrugs, not taking less, but more

Any questions?
All whispers, light and evil, Derogatory, slaying the soul. This is daylight - This is night, the stars join in, badgering the shying moon; I wish I was the burning Sun crying my bleach over fields and trees. I can't surrender just yet - But my weakness bleeds through gulping swallows and choked up laughs falling on petals, sliding away with the breeze. I have no light or tunnel to spot it through; And wouldn't know how to anyway.

Silly boy, you weren't ready for this. You hadn't studied for it. Love is joy, you never felt it like that. Now it's your weapon. How is this for you? Does it help? Will this pain bring you to work harder? ть в порядке? Angels watch your misguided adventure. They're laughing at you. God whispers into your ear. Or is he the devil? People avoid your crooked walk. Loved ones, already cursed with your touch. She got away, and is still cursed. You divide . How long will the wind guide you. Devoid of free will. **** them all. Curse them with your touch. Forever within your heart. Poison your mind with doubt. Silly boy, you gave up choice already. Now you're on a road to ****** Angels lower their heads in disappointment. Devils look away. Just another obsession. I'm about to turn to dust.

I see you hurting and I want to help but I can't because I'm a piece of **** I love you so I should be able to do something, anything, but I can't. You say it's because I'm so far away, but I know that it's because I'm a piece of **** Exhausted, you went to bed. I stared at the screen where you were Where you were is still beautiful, more beautiful than anything I ever see for real. Eventually I start googling myself, checking every name I've ever lied. I mean lived. There's nothing there, not on google or bing or duckduckgo. I'm not even enough of anything to anyone anywhere to be on duckduckgo? How ******* pathetic is that? I should be helping you but all I ever do is make you more stressed, more anxious, more upset. You say I don't, that I give you strength, that I'm important to you. But I know. I'm a piece of **** Maybe you'd be happier without me. Maybe you'd be better off. You tell me I'm being silly when I say **** like that. Maybe you're just being kind. What do I give you, what do I do for you? I write you a love letter every night for you to read every morning. I tell you I love you a hundred times a day. I tell you you're beautiful every time I see you because every time I see you, you are beautiful. I don't understand why you don't believe me. Except that I'm nothing. So maybe I'll end it all and set you free. Crushed painkillers and good scotch. Maybe some tranquilizers so my mind can be tranquil for once. But I can't even do that, the nothing that I am; I don't have the courage or cowardice or whatever it takes to end myself. Because what if I'm wrong? What if there is something that you see that I can't? Besides, I can't leave you. I love you. I'm sorry. I crawl into bed and feel the tears soak into my pillow. I try to come up with a way to explain everything wrong with me so that you'll realize why I have to go. I imagine your answers, I imagine your face as we talk. I just want to stop hurting, to stop missing you when I have no right to miss you so much. You're so beautiful. How can you not know? Now, I'm thinking about kissing you. And tomorrow doesn't seem so bad. Maybe tomorrow will be better, maybe I'll see in me what you tell me is there. And maybe you'll let yourself be beautiful to me. And we'll have a chance. Maybe.

Take away the pain Take away the strain Just what would remain I am held together with the struggle I am held together because of all I juggle I am nothing but agony I am nothing but depravity I am nothing but blasphemy Question's on my mind weigh If you could take that away Do it right here today Would I cease to exist Would I still be here in the midst Would I be missed For I am nothing but self loathing, agony, and pain If it could magically be taken away, would anything remain

What Would Remain
One love, Two hearts, This much I thought was true. Three words, Four affairs, Five lies- the most hurtful being, "I love you."

Sometimes it's not as easy as 1,2,3...
1. assert yourself as someone strong, someone capable make it seem like nothing hurts you it doesn't matter if you slip up sometimes - you're only human but it has to be rare. if you feel like crying, convert it to anger let the rage overwhelm you to the point where you're blind with it let it become so overpowering that it blinds everybody else too the blind won't see your sadness; the blind will avert their eyes in fear 2. you don't feel things like other people do your emotions are never strong, unless you're feeling angry or depressed but you keep those quiet, only ever spoken softly to close friends, these secrets hidden like taboos. you don't care, you don't love don't let them convince you otherwise show them how much apathy you have inside you by letting go of hate and love altogether- when they cut you open, let them find nothing but bland organs; your only colour is red because you do bleed you're still only human but you don't bleed your soul like ink onto journal pages that would mean you feel something - and you don't 3. never smile in photos, never smile in your selfies let them see you're "fine" even if your eyes are shaded with Midnight's charcoal pencils and lined red with Two AM's pencil crayons; the coffee in your hand isn't a sign of exhaustion - you're just bitter no milk, no sugar this helps you succeed with steps 1 and 2 as well you're strong enough to stomach the caustic nature of black coffee, you can't feel it burn your throat on the way down and you don't flinch nor grimace when it lingers on your tongue. you've already bitten back enough of the harsh thoughts that try to slip out like saliva, impossible to miss, impossible to avoid; your tongue is numb to the taste of salts and sours, of words so violent they land blows significant enough to sign death sentences 4. let them know that you are a bomb ticking, teetering, trembling with the temptation to trigger terror your hands stay curled into fists that you'll rarely throw, always ready always willing to go no one will ever say another bad thing about you, and if they do it won't be to your face no one you know is brave enough to look Death straight in the eye and taunt him by now your defenses are so thick and sturdy that they'll call them bomb shells covering what's burning away inside you, unforgiving, toxic but it's your cool, collected carvings of ****** expressions that'll leave them with the most shell-shock. and they'll never find out that the only trigger in you is a self-destruct button because you've always hurt yourself more than you've ever hurt others. you keep it that way, and they'll never know how much you actually do care.

i write about you but you do not exist or maybe you do; maybe you do and i'm just talking to myself maybe you're just another part of me that i hate so much i have to talk to you, i have to punish you because i know i shouldn't like the way it feels- and i don't; but i keep coming back for more anyway i amend: i know i shouldn't be addicted to this hatred you tear me open and pull at my frayed edges so that i split apart and lose my functionality - and i let you then i let you thread me back together once more you build my body with thicker wool each time, hoping that one day i'll be warmer, and harder to unravel and you sew my edges with fragile promises of a better future as breakable as the metal pin that bends between your crafty fingers the materials started off so colourful at first, like rainbows maybe that's why i'm so queer though over time you started toning down my personality. as my depression embroidered me, my sexuality dulled purple and black and white and grey you manipulate my patterns. some nights i sleep through, others i don't sleep at all and some nights my strings are stretched so taut across the nightmares that one small pull will undo me i am ripped apart then made into patchwork; there are white seams over my arms you call me a work in progress, damaged goods to be fixed, to be mended: you can't afford replacements that doesn't stop you from looking wishing you could upgrade me into something more, something better and every time i fall apart again i'm left itching with apologies but never to you; i never say sorry for hurting you my only regrets are to those who become collateral damage. i do not apologise to you because you are me, and i am you you are a part of me and i hate you as much as i hate myself.

Black The light at the end of the tunnel. The pursuit of sweet nothingness. Is the oblivion that I reach toward a cure for my disease, Or the start of something worse? Black So misunderstood it greets me as a friend. We two are the same and for once I belong. But is this a false sense of comfort, to lure me into its grasp? Black Always taunting and just out of reach. Is it brave to become black, Or braver to ignore its pleas? Tired of fighting its temptation, My soul seeks out its embrace. Black

You should have only had one chance And you failed You got another One other chance to be a better brother He tries to look up to You Says he loves You with those eyes Too bad You're too **** busy looking at Your girls thighs Begs for You to listen They call tell You to come over Can't! You're too busy ******* Your lover Respect Your elders You never listen Since after You *** You're too busy pissin' No one thought You were enough! You had to go and get busy working Yet Your ignorance is clouded by the darkness that is lurking Gotta run to this place and You gotta run to that You say, "Nope sorry, see you later, can't chat!" You are a ******* fool You are a liar, a thief You are watching him fail and You don't care! No one needs You, no one wants You No one cares about You for who You are No one wants You for who You are Because the world doesn't want You The world would be better off without You I hope You die because then I wouldn't be able to hate You so much.

I and You
I'm a summer day Sweltering on the edge of May Oh, I wish I didn't throw my fists In spite Of all your songs They flow so effortlessly through Something like a laundromat at midnight Have you ever heard a humdrum sound so Pure? Like the waves or the wind or the trees I've never heard you sing so true And you've never even heard me sing a tune

Blunt & Frank
Guns or knives; barrel or edge, Choose which way to end In times of war where conflict stands The tongue is the hammer to– Feelings, propellant to bullet words The eyes are hands that throw– Tears, daggers to the heart that's stone As the cloud of smoke fades with the wind And crimson river streets are all but dried and stains Remember destruction is brought upon By thine own hands

There’s this girl on first shift and she’s ******* magic and won’t be mine because I’m trouble and I break **** and she’s fragile and lovely. She tells me she’s unstable and damaged and I could cry every night if I wasn’t so convinced I can get over this. I half *** so much but I obey my emotions. When she gave me her number I sang, “what if?” When she asked if I was in an open relationship I thought, “I wish.” When I was single, she came over and I whispered, “I just want this.” However, I try to play it cool and send love subtly, but I’m a ******* and a *** and a loser and I can’t drown my sorrows in anything so they keep me up at night. She came into my life like a hurricane and I was swept off my feet, but I made the conscious decision to be loving to her. I cut a hole out exactly her size and she kissed me on the lips and said no. She got diagnosed with cancer again and decided to quit fighting and I want to kiss every inch of her and make her feel like she was always deserving of the best love someone could give. I want to kiss every part of her skin and make her better again because she is the light of any room she’s in. I want to kiss her, but I’m ***** from throwing myself in the gutter, from trying to **** strangers, from singing sad songs, from losing more sleep every night, from hurting people I love and hurting myself to hurt them more. There’s this girl on first shift and she’s absolute magic and I loved her too soon. She’s fading from the inside, out, while I rot from the outside, in.

I write sad songs About missing your hands in mine And your breath on my neck But I've never known it I've known no one at all And everyday I'm a butterfly Busting from a cocoon And by dawn those wings They've fallen from me And I'm no one at all I sat in my room alone Longing, fawning Over superheroes and singer-songwriter types Cause I love what I hate the most The little parts of me and what I'll never be I wrote a letter to a friend, to a lover, to a foe Licked the seal, kissed its flap, And sent it on its way One returned, hollowed through, And there's two out there I'll never be
