#teenangst
In the company of familiar strangers, The type you know like a ranger, Or that with the spirit of a teenager, Not knowing or completely identifying, But still ****** with through consequence and conceptualizing. Though some take the form of friendly faces, Others take form like that of a nightmare that makes you walk in paces, Reminding you of the turmoil inside your mind, The fight between your perception and what you find, What you see in the mirror and what you hide behind, Finding the faces chase you with ideas they do not underpine

Social Schizophrenia
I crave my mothers motivation.... I pray for my siblings energy. I ran to dark corners. I hide in my music. I stare at the razor... But I do not cut. I google " Sad quotes". I google "Depression facts". I google " Teen angst", " Depression symptoms", "Sad drawings", "Love quotes", " Heart break"... And I stare for hours on end. THIS is teen angst. It's not parties. It's not drinking or drugs or trouble. Its sitting here wanting what I cant have and knowing it doesn't get better and crying because it wont go away and because no one really understands how I feel. its not the same. This and more is teen angst....get it right.

a tempted poet
i dream about your lips... ...they look nice pleasantly pink and supple delectable even i’m sure they’ll feel so wonderful placed delicately upon mine i indulge in the thought of your touch (warm and safe) curled up at your side breathing you in your scent unknown to me something i’m eager to decipher once i am released from this cage i promise to devour you every inch of your body no secrets between our skin and if you so choose ...no clothes either... just pure ecstasy produced by the entanglement of unveiled bodies and teen angst i fantasise about love and how we might make it time and time again beside the purest of touch (a soft embrace) never forgetting it began with a song and grew with isolation cultivating longing strengthening our bond...                                                                                                                                ...good enough... ...until the day i can hold your hand

I'll hug you because I love you You'll use me because you want to There's nothing left so take what you need Pay no mind to how I bleed I'll kiss you because I need it You'll abuse me because you need a hit Scream and cry; it's all in my mind I look so broken and you wonder why I'll **** you because I'm lonely You'll **** me because I'm your one and only

Sonnet of the Emotional Massochist
Pitty darling, how much you love me. You must not be able to see me truly. Come here, perhaps you'll see dear; There's a monster in my mirror. I look pretty? I know, I'll eat you alive. Oh honey, get out before you die. Come love me if you dare, You'll find out, I swear. This siren knows how to stay hidden. To love such a monster should be forbidden. I push you away but you draw ever nearer. You're not seeing any clearer. There's a monster in my mirror! Why can't you see dear? You should have gone, but now you're in. You're a petty fool; you cannot win.

Monster
Stuck here behind the wall Warm places Smiling faces But I can't see it at all Over here, solitude consumes The group of friends The books and pens But over here, the loneliness fumes The teacher preached, "It's not fair" Oh the longing The dramatic sobbing Here I sit, forced to stare. Stuck here behind the wall Warm places Smiling faces But I can't see it at all

Behind the Wall
You...are my drug Not in a good sense You get me high, higher than the sky but it's the crash, the crash that I remember. I see you and it's like you're injected into my blood. And at first I don't feel anything But then.... Then comes the dialation Perspiration Quickening of the heart There's a quiet thudding in my ears and I can't quite concentrate It feels so great to be around you but when we separate I crash. I hate myself for wanting you The eyes contract to normal And the cold sweat dries The pounding in my ears goes quiet and I'm left with my thoughts, Thoughts of loathing. I hate how you make me Happy. I hate your side effects, you ****** drug, And I Hate You

My Drug
People don't change; I'll still have Bukowski quotes written on my ribcage in Sharpie. Chlorine will go straight into my nose whenever someone mentions drowning, or hating life in general. Jokes about surf punk and Arizona tea, everything I've done in the past year has grown stale. I use the same three words to describe my feelings. Things don't change; my apologies are still faux. I never felt grief about that death, or all those car accidents and overdoses. Radio pop songs derive catharsis, but I use one pretentious band or two to combat that. It does nothing, I am nothing, or something like that. Everything won't change; except for feelings, emotions, point of views, personal contacts, and my habit of texting back. I'll say a bunch of Beatnik quotes and freak out over small things, the latest post punk song will be spray painted in the school's parking lot. I'll still hate the smell of Chlorine, but love the thought of memories. Love the thought of moving on and the idea of things ending for a good reason.
