I have misplaced myself
changing every ******* second
losing everything
marbles are everywhere
I have lost my marbles
I have misplaced myself

hiding away on the top shelf
dust is collecting
where do i go?
nobody knows
i have misplaced myself

things i wanna say
hiding away
things i wanna do
deep deep down
a girl
stuck inside a girl

i have misplaced myself
i have misplaced myself

dude
you showed the world your scars
and made my pain feel understood
with your words gracefully
better than I ever could

run
i run
look around
what happened
to this town

dead smiles
deadly frowns
human spirit
broken down

not for me
i’d like
to be free

running
running
to what
i don’t know

to where i stand now
to family that’s found
Really would appreciate any comments, interpretations, questions, feedback good or bad!!

today i am a square
predictable, straight, and fair
my edges wind and curve
to spite the minds unnerve

i feel the greatest depths
i walk along the fence
but couldn’t see a sign
the dark was far too bright

today i’ve lost my curls
no longer is there a girl
sworn to see what’s true
that was before i met you

sit here in this cold dark room
too easy to get lost in you
suddenly there comes a light
will i be free this time?
Let me know what you think!

she’s freer than a butterfly
sweeter than a girls behind
stronger than the oceans waves
a lucky winner in this game
a game that’s long been played
a secret which she holds so close
a secret which she stays exposed

singing in the sunshine
dancing in the rain
in this world
she fears no pain
her cup it overflows with life
others collect and count their strife
fell down that hole once before
but she has learned to stay no more

a mother full of endless fun
a goddess from another sun
from those demons she won’t run
face them, shoot them, with her gun
she smiles when the darkness comes
she knows that she’s already won
no time for cowards, avail their powers
she knows the secret
no rain, no flowers
This is for all the gorgeous women out there KEEP FIGHTING

Happiness; it hides away
No light shines on me today

My soul is made of broken bones
My spirit sings its lonely moans

Tomorrow is a brand new day
The hope is that I fade away

The voice has lost it’s faithful ways
The hands no longer feel embrace

Thoughts they breathe of yesterday
My heart, it fleas; a castaway

Eyes of broken window glass
No time for me, he’s come at last

The darkness guides me, with it’s craze
These feelings now, an endless maze

Can I fix this hole i’ve made?
Can I fix this inhumane?

A whisper of the heart unsung
Tears are falling, still I’m numb

Another one has taken my place
A new name, a new face

I’ve taken my sane
It’s me whose to blame

Couldn’t find my soul a home
Grinded down, right to the bone

Another perfect wannabee
I ate the fruit of apple tree

Could I wake another day?
Could I wake a pure saint?

But time my friend reiterates
This could be my early grave
this poem is the sound of someone speaking from inside that early grave

Out of body
in my element
too far to reach
give me less
let me rest

complaining
so restraining
illuminating
how you put it on

the sun goes down
here they come
ill never learn
we all burn

maybe that's the key
feeling nothing
its ecstasy

what do you do
when you know
just how far
it can go

can't keep going on
pretending, defending
in some sense
of relief
can't let go

only some
really grow

empty my mind
too much time
they all call it ******

hold your space
know your place
i see you
every time
tore me in two
running from you

where do i go?
nobody knows
drifting, i float
mind only explodes
