I guess if I had something more to say to you I wouldn’t say I am sorry I wouldn’t say I feel bad for you more than I feel for my own brother And so because I am this mess Not to say it is because of you How could it be A young love, a crazy man, an ego which made him proclaim he was God And so I say, hey maybe I am not all there anymore And I don’t have the best idea of what I am trying to get out of the process of emitting and procuring, are two different paces I hope I wrote that right, Or at least cipher-able This is why I hate typing The computer never seems to know grammatically That I am legible Hardly I know if people even care what comes out of I am so tired The open book era has become a whole wham in the face Other than that I am undeniably me Man I miss the banter I could have with people who could stimulate a conversation It is fun to feel intelligent It isn’t fun to live, I’ve realized Not after all of that Not after all of that And mind I type it again Definitely not after all of that Right now it feels like that’s the only thing that makes me feel anymore God I’m choking up The meds have made me so shut off I would say its the meds but You can put it anyway for a person, a doctor, a parent, a stranger None would be able to look at you and say they can fix it I wonder if they all feel it too or is it just me It sure seems like everyone else would like to so quickly point the finger A far fetched idea but what if When we’re going through it, other people find the flaw, Not realizing that in a moment or so, they will also be the same thing The same problem The same deadbeat painless looking suffering I hate when I get emotional when I write And I’m lying, but I guess you’re the only thing I have Talking to people And it feels like nothing gets me until I release it through words written, Or left.

How disquieting it is to know the true character of a gentleman in name only, the one the world calls “good.” Polished. Charming. Allegedly virtuous. Behind closed doors? Less “gentleman,” more “director of a very small, badly rehearsed tragedy starring only himself, his ego, and a remarkable talent for self-deception.” It is almost scientific, the way he crafts a public self gleaming, faultless, polished to the point of absurdity while the private self skulks in shadows, clutching half-truths like a toddler with candy. You witness it, catalog it, and suddenly, you are burdened with the most inconvenient of tasks: organizing a one-person, traveling exhibition of the real him for friends, family, anyone who ever praised him for “integrity” or “charm.” Well Santa Claus is not real. But worse this Santa is a bad, bad fellow. The kind who hides coal in your stocking, eats all the cookies, blames the dog, and insists it was a generous act. Yes, generosity according to him: selective, self-serving, and absurdly performed. And so begins the tour: living rooms, dinner tables, group chats, whispered phone calls. Each reveal delivered with the subtlety of a foghorn, the flourish of a poet wielding a sledgehammer. Yodalayhee… lore and behold, he is a bad, bad fellow. I will describe the very fabric he is stitched from, thread by thread, with the precision of a tailor and the theatricality of a stage director. Every seam, every flaw, every glittering patch of hypocrisy... laid bare. This tour is coming to a house near you. Tickets are free, the commentary is merciless, and the cookies… well, you can keep your own. I’ve been played, ladies and gentlemen.

I mean yeah, I still think of you When the liquor dulls my senses And the emotions ride down my spine Hell yeah I think of you Maybe it’s that smile? Those eyes? Soft voice? I have no idea but Yeah, I still think of you. Oh well.

I mean...
I can write you a thousand love letters. And my hand Would never get tired. I can say your name a thousand times. And my tongue Would never go dry. I can give you, my heart. And blood would still Pump through my veins. I don’t need my love. You can take it. Please just take it.

Ode To Him
She sent him a clutter of thoughts books And feelings But in the end she realized He didn't care He had already lost interest And was looking forward to his next affair

Dust hides in Libraries
I talked to them yesterday, I told them my feelings, giving my brightest smile, They gave me one too, but one of pity, I'm not the one they want. I was happy yesterday, They said yes to my feelings, smiling at the possibilities, It only lasted two hours before regret, The 'almost' coming to an end. I was messaged last evening, A paragraph on my social media, I thought it was to talk about the day, But it wasn't in the way I expected. They went back on their words, Told me sorry they don't have the time, I said I was relieved and that "I'll be fine!" But all I wanted to do was scream for the 'almost'. I almost had it, The feeling of being enough to someone, I wanted to feel that about myself, But I wanted help doing so, I cannot blame them for not feeling for me, It's their feelings not mine, But I wish they never thought me fragile, As it exposes what I've hidden in time. I will forget them inevitably, After all I always do, Suppressing feelings and memories, But I can't help but think of almost, And the 'almost' that was almost there. And here I am in my bed, Still waiting for that almost to be had.

Almost
Today I went to a party I was looking forward to seeing you there But you weren’t there I wish you knew how much I miss you How much I want to be with you How much I love you But I don’t think I can put into words What you mean to me No matter how hard I try

Ik hou van jou
I like to walk on tight ropes made of rainbow bacon in my mind Because deep below me, is everything I left behind And through I creep through time, so slowly and surely I rely so wholly on my insecurities Because they excuse me,   The absent quarters in my brain are filled and drained daily Like ***** , abused in the onset of the tide With hopes and ambitions and new dreams and ideas That are briskly And surely crushed in my sleep Aghast i gasp in the horror of my anatomy How poorly my blood vessles are fueled So I shall bleed them dry With out a doubt in my mind I am in the right Yet my heart beats so sourly when I fight For love Why am I so wrong Why is it that nothing goes to plan And they say failing to plan is planning to fail So I plan to fail so spectacularly they thought id planned it in the First Place Loosing grip on reality has its drawbacks, Mostly though The drawbacks stand, That their is no drawbacks Not one at hand So clasp me right, and rig me for full sail I've caught a gale my dear, And to the heart of the storm i shall sail
