#treading
flipping cards, interpreting the message
but too scared to just shoot you a message
and ask you a couple of questions
too worried about repeating lessons
thought you were my blessing now I'm second-guessing

Walking on planet earth
Seeing souls given birth
Walking paths far and wide
Seeing nothing by my side
Walking to my blurred out casket
Hiding from my blood spilled hatchet

She clipped my wings
The girl that sings
But I stabbed her in the back
And grew my wings back
So I could be soaring through the skies
So I could run from my inevitable demise
But I've still got both feet on the ground
And I feel like I've only been drowned

You're looking at
The mask that
you put on the world

if the ocean were to take you
i'd jump in after you
i’m a pretty decent swimmer
yet not one that can save
the waves are stronger than my will
but i’d tread ice cold water
to hold you close once more
the tides can pull us under
the current can drag us out
the seaweed can wrap us closer
i'd have neither fear nor doubt
i'm sure we'd find Atlantis
or possibly grow some gills
i'm sure love under water
is an even bigger thrill

demanding
my time, yet an hour short
how?
i can't be plummeting these depths
swimming
viscous drive-by, shouting
empty

I've been treading water, trying not to drown
But I'm afraid, I'm finally going down
The waves are coming faster
And of self control I am no master
Should I hold my breath as I plunge
Or breath in the water and quickly this life expunge
I keep my eyes open as I am sinking
But I can't keep from blinking
When a colorful fish swims by
Then turned around and looked me in the eye
What he had to say gave me chills
"Why don't you just grow gills
We all must change and adapt
Or none of us would live through life's crap"
Wise words from a fish's lips
And if I survive, I'll never again eat fish and chips

Walking on a sheet of glass
Each step brings spider web cracks
How much longer will it hold
Just how far will it let me go
Some days I tread lightly
Hoping it will crack just slightly
But days like today I jump
Ready to test out my luck
Really hoping it will shatter
So on the rocks below I splatter
But of course it held
So I'll just stand and yell
Till someone hears my cry
And rescues me form the sky
And my growing wish to die

They only want to hear of your suffering
They only whistle while you toil
They only #treadringsonagainonyour soul
So we lay down tar and feather quill to papier-mâché a roadway from our broken heart artery and bleed the anguish out into to a milkyworldwideweb.away to cure the Treading on Agony, be numb to the likes along the highway revel in the thin line between heaven and earth let your feet rise above your head and let your hand be the rubber on the road of revelations.

When I was 7 I learned how to tread water.
It didn't take long for me to catch on.
I've been treading water for 10 years now.
It's hard to keep your head above water when the waves are this heavy.
It's even harder to keep your head above water when you want to drown.
There's no one to save you if you sink.
There isn't any warning for a wave.
You just keep treading.

Let’s just dive
Dip under the dregs of society
Drown in our own pools of self-comfort
We only live once
Yet we stress as if we’re cats
And this ***** or these nine lives won’t suffice
Strip all of your troubles down to nothing
Break the chain that your parents held on you
Be yourself.. be free
Hold onto your childhood
But make way for your future endeavors
And always make time for peace of mind
Bash that flat screen
The one that says only flat framed girls
Are beautiful and deserve to be seen
Let’s just dive
Suffocate in our waves of freedom
And never come up for air

Im just a boy
They like to call gay
Ive heard all the words
They say it everyday
I can't go anywhere
Without getting some stares
They whisper in ears
The pain I can't bare
Why can't I be normal
Be like all the rest
Why can't I be straight
I pray and protest
But the prayers do not work
For theres no one around
I wait for the day
To live in the ground
I try so hard to change
I don't like myself
This isn't fair
I search for help
I find a light
That guides my path
I start to wake up
I breathe and I laugh
I know who I am
I let it be known
The darkness has left
And my spirit has grown
I hold my head high
And my feet float off the floor
Push away the sadness
I once felt before
Ive found my true love
He's just like me
Perfect in all ways
We both share are glee
I accept who I am
Im never a fake
This is who I am
So give me a break
If gay is so wrong
Let these words be sung
Your important and loved
Gifted.
Admired.
Young.

Every night when I go to bed
I toss and turn
Can't rest my head
A man that stares outside the glass
The night that never seems to pass
Who is this man
I do not know
The air is still, a distant glow
This man is dark but he isn't bad
Reminds me of my unknown Dad
He holds a smile thats oh so bright
And when I start to fall asleep
He disappears and says "goodnight"
