This is not a poem
Twenty-four. A number just one before twenty-five. A number that signifies one quarter of one-hundred, -in this case- years of age. I've circled the sun so many times that time itself has begun to blend together: Days spilled into                        Weeks cascaded into                                                     Months plunged into years; incalculable. I neglect to mention that throughout it all I have, in fact, been vaguely happy at worst and genuinely blissful at best. And so I say to thee; If on your birthday you cannot breathe, If every moment is lost with ease, I implore you, see the cost of these things-and learn to set yourself free.

Another Birthday
These are the darker days Highlights have turned into grays Teardrops stain my pillowcase Maybe I'm not thinking straight But I dont want to be here My mind is digging deeper This pit is inescapable I'm falling down an endless hole.

These days
I'm angry or am I just filled with some hum refusing to be reduced to the disgusting *** of the past two months, I ain't finished sit down and stick around like these symptoms of depression stick on all around town & at night I get nothing done and I'm lying to myself if I think that's faith, *** I'm gonna do it or at the very least try despite All the hits I've taken I survive yeah, I want winter to die I'm living it up like it's the afterlife yeah, I feel nothing and a lot of it now so it's time to do something because I'm alive and when I cry It only serves as an opportunity to remind me of it so Don't count me out dude shove it I'm not angry

I'm Awesome
It’s pathetic really, I know, that I’d live off the scraps of you, the hand-me-down, half cares and “hullo’s” you’d throw while I scramble for your neck in the dark, and **** you for “just out of reach” and mumbles under mountains of day and dream, fervor-filled anthologies built on your hands and the consequent shadows cast. I never got to taste you, but I imagine it’s something like 16 and gasoline. The question isn’t what we really want. We want a blood bath, the world in flames, but we cry when the red doesn't come out of the towels. It's just who we are.

Non-Linear
the city is dark, dreary, and dismal there's no escape from the seemingly never ending cycle of vicious men committing acts so brutal every day it gets more abysmal the sun doesn't shine much like it used to clouds of hatred and malcontent overcasting it’s rays fear and anger cloud the skies an uncontrollable rain is soon to break through but sometimes a light breaks through the night pure and bright and keeping you safe arms wrap around you and hold you close maybe you could win this fight.

city unknown.
Neither of us were fine Because I was chasing after him And he was a few steps ahead of mine Running in the same direction, same line, that was his only sign Same pace, same time His movements matched mine He intended to leave and i'd stay behind I never caught up No, not in this life

We both ran
value something i wonder if he sees in anything i hate him for the fact that he seemingly sees none in me. pretentious in exactly the flavor i appreciate because  someone has to i hate him, because the people i know best do not know how to appreciate it. logic in a way that seems too straightforward circumvented i hate him as i observe him saying the words that i won't. value something others do not see much of in him i hate him for the fact that the ones close to me also hate him.

next boy
If I close my eyes you're here But I'm not real But you're here and you're alive You're breathing But I'm not real, I'm not alive But touching you feels real Your hands, so soft I remember them being soft Don't you understand This isn't really me I'm gone I don't understand anything You're here and why can't that be okay Because I'm not really here it's not okay for you to go on this way You must let go I tried and isn't that worth something Can't I be allowed this moment of bliss with you I'm not real This isn't real Let go Milo, let go I'm dead and you must let go I'll never let go You're gone but my love will never leave Forever is a simple thing
