#unfulfillment
Another year rolls around. Another step into the world, out there it is, there it stays. In front of me, and I think; What to do, what’s anew? I could step into the downpour and let the rain fall down on me. But I sit at home Lay down and let my mind wander. What to do, what’s anew? A million empty promises I won’t see through.

Resolute, irresolute
My heart is like a planet The envy it revolves around is the worst You'll see I'm a star, if you scan it 'Cause the brightest always die first I have no moons, though No planet is my mother I must then be Pluto Too small for the other I've done more and more But it's all something someone's done before Everyone else is hard and tough Yet I'm still not good enough In a world of diamonds, I'm coal I'm far away, and never near For once, I just want to be original I'm a reflection in a shattered mirror I've done more and more But it's all something someone's done before Everyone else is hard and tough Yet I'm still not good enough

An Accidental Reflection
With one goal accomplished, another will arise Repeating into an endless cycle until my own demise I've worked so hard to get what I now have got Yet all my experiments don't have a conclusion, or final thought I've had people copy me with their navy blue bluff But with everything I've learned, it still isn't enough

A Forever Half-Empty Glass
Wilt my lungs I’ll breathe in bitter bloom And fill my chest with concrete tombs At twenty one I exhaled tar And covered my birthday cake Ribs for the skyline This city built a church round my heart Before some gutter punks spray painted the side of the stained glass With the suicide rates of middle-class citizens Nothing has been the same since When I was young I was raised on Disney And taught that my bones were living things At thirteen years old I nestled a heart within the clouds and smoke of my chest It suffocated to death I’ve never broken a bone But I’ve trailed plenty of marrow

ribs for skyline
Losing myself in the messages, trying to make up for every time i felt unwanted by letting this 23 year old i met at a party a year and a half ago bury himself inside of me, because someone finally wants me. He craves my touch the way i crave yours. The only difference is that i love you and the only reason he cares is because he isn't getting enough from his girlfriend. So why not? *Unfulfillment leads to ***
