Dec 2014 The Insane Savannah

Sitting here
All alone
Or at least I think I am alone
But really I am surrounded
Surrounded by the demons
Demons of memories old and new.

I am struggling
Struggling to hold them off
Holding my blade tightly
Occasionally swinging it wildly.

Please leave me alone
I cannot take anymore
The fight is leaving me fast.

Blood is running from
Not from them but from me
Wounds both old and new
Being torn open
The ground is red.

Things grow dim
Gonna just lie down
I give up
Let the darkness overtake me.

Sleep

Sleep

I just want to sleep
Forever
Trapped within my endless dreams
Maybe then
I’ll understand my nightmares

In my dreams
My options are limitless
But so are my nightmares

Shape

Shape

I wonder if my fingers touch
the plastic covering my analog clock if
I can hold on to a few more seconds
of the beauty this moment spins
into a feeling I've never grasped before
and I'm starting to think that
time is more than the minutes
captured in a circle
and more about the seconds
we can't shape on our own

Volcano

There's always gonna be a hole there
volcanos look like mountains from the outside
inside there's molten lava
and there's a hole at the top
what i'm saying is that I look ok
and for now I am ok
but there will always be a hole in me
and that may be a problem eventually

We did it
It's all on us
We didn't have chance
nobody believed
I mean why not
We had proven what we could do
We had shown the power of our actions
the system was our enemy
we didn't treat it as such
so when we fought back
we thought the system would back us
it didn't

3rd Grade Love

3rd grade love
isn't it sweet
3rd grade love
songs of kindness on repeat

3rd grade love
reserved for you and me
3rd grade love
just sitting in a tree

3rd grade love
come back to me now
3rd grade love
don't let me down

3rd grade love
you'd think i'd leave it in the past
3rd grade love
led me down the same path

3rd grade love
it's never real
3rd grade love
too young to feel

3rd grade love
back when it was just a mystery
3rd grade love
I miss when it was new to me

3rd grade love
maybe you're different
3rd grade love
that much is apparent

3rd grade love
it may not be right
3rd grade love
but please stay with me tonight

#love
