She was teasing
me
because of the
way
that I dress
outside
and she hit
one
of my sore
spots;

still hurts to
touch.

My raven-haired
lady
left me
alone
without the
chance
to say
goodbye.

I’m feel
disappointed
by the
fact
we’ll be
apart
for another
day
due to
work.

When large crowds
are
packed into tiny
spaces
I feel like
everybody
else is *******
up
all of the
oxygen,

and I can't
breathe.

Someone ran
over
a feral
cat
in the
road
leaving it
dead,

and I
was
the one
who
had to
dispose
of it's
body.

During our phone
call
I failed to
help
you feel any
better
because I was
still
focused entirely on
myself;

furthermore, I'll be
more
attentive to your
needs.

I haven't
taken
a week
aside
in two
years,
so for
now
I'll be
going
on a
vacation
by the
sea.

Today an old
curmudgeon
talked my ear
off
for five minutes
straight
and I was
obliged
to listen to
her.

I shut my
eyes
for what I
thought
would be a
minute
and slept all
day;

I needed some
rest
that's what my
body
is trying to
say.

At work
today
you reduced
me
to nervous
laughter
by driving
up
out the
blue
as a
surprise.

I cried when the
boy
and girl fell in
love
during the film because
they
reminded me of our
story.

I've cared
way
too much
about
other people's
opinions
of me
rather
than my
own.

I know you
dye
your hair bright
red,
so nobody will
see
that you've gone
gray;

don't worry your
secret
is safe with
me.

I waited for
you
to text me
back,
and checked my
phone
all night long;
till
I passed out
cold.

When I'm tired,
I have few words to speak.
So instead I pick up the pen
and bleed unto the blank page.

Ms. Sharon told
me
to not get
upset,
so I stayed
calm
during my crisis;
now
it has been
averted
all because of
her.

I can't sleep tonight,
(Hoping)that she's,
Somewhere out there(waiting),
For our destinies,
To merge into one.

I acted
like
such a
fool
surrounded by
people
staring at
me.

Talking on the
phone
with her today
fulfilled
my need of
socializing
for this whole
afternoon.

I'll hop on a
train
traveling hundreds of miles
away
to the northern country
so
I can meet you
again.

Today my
Mother
apologized to
me
for no
reason,
and now
I'm
feeling sorry
she
felt that
way.

There is a playground across the street.
Children play there,
I was once like them.
If only I could go back to those days.
I've spent so much time wishing my life away
that now I desperately cling to it.
To be like a child with innocence and potential.
When nothing matters except having fun,
I miss this dearly.
Does anyone have a time machine I can borrow?

I cut myself
shaving
I'm sticking paper
towels
up my nostril
to
stop the blood
from
dripping down my
face
now I'm going
to
bleed all night
long;

my face looks
like
a real ******
massacre.

When I saw
her
icy bleach blond
hair
I fell for
Kaitlyn
right then and
there.

There's nothing quite
like
a fresh bed-sheet
out
of the dryer
spread
across my mattress
that
gives me the
feeling
of a goodnight's
sleep.

I tried applying
mascara
for the first
time,
and I smudged
black
goop on my
eyelids;
looking like a
mess
I wiped it
off.

Driving around with
your
old buddy looking
for
some cold beer
is
the classic Friday
night.

In my dream
you
were the only
person
who stuck by
me
when all those
fake
friends left us
behind,

so much loyalty
made
me break into
tears.

My hair is
turning gray
one strand
at a time,
I'm getting
older,
and soon
I’ll be
a silver fox.

I sometimes
call
Tianna my
girlfriend
because I
like
her so
much
we might
as
well be
dating.

My friend
didn't
say a
word
when she
skipped
town without
me,
because she
knew
that I
would've
came with
her.

I'm painting my lips
with Mom's light pink lip gloss so
I'll look just like her.

I need to
stop
lashing out at
people
when I feel
hurt,
because inflicting that
pain
won't heal my
wounds.

I called three different
people
over the phone and
not
one single person answered
me,
now I must fall
asleep
without having made any
contact.

I saw him
in
my dream last
night,
and I wonder
if
Michael sees me
too
after he falls
asleep?

Her smile greets me
as
I walk through the
door
to work in the
morning
and makes me feel
like
I can face the
day.

I forgot my
earbuds
getting ready for
work,
now I’m panicking
because
music was my
only
defense against this
place.

I love
her
from a
distance
but because
of
that she
never
feels far
away.

Last Friday after
work
I had another
meltdown
and I came
close
to being committed
back
to the psychiatric
ward.

Don’t force
affection
from someone
who
doesn’t love
you
they’ll never
change.

I got a phone call
from my future employer
the job might be mine.

I didn't finish
anything
on my to-do
list
because I was
wasting
time falling asleep
again;

I feel quite
irresponsible.

I want to
ask
him on a
date,
but he's much
more
experienced than I
am;
it feels nerve-
wracking.

I found the
*******
hidden underneath your
hat,

I'm sad to
know
that you're using
again.

We only
talk
to each
other
through text
messages
on our
phones.

I had a
nightmare
that my papa  
died,

then I awoke
with
tears in my
eyes,

because I realized
he
won't be alive
forever.

The same girl
who
wouldn’t give me
the
time of day
now
says hello to
me
every morning at
work.

I'm grateful
for
the heartbreak
because
it showed
me
we're not
meant
to be
together.

She loaned thirty-five
dollars in cash to help me
make it to payday.

I didn't
want
to wake
up
this morning
because
the cat
was
curled at
my
feet for
warmth.
