i'm sorry for being me.
i promise it'll never happen again.
but sometimes when i'm alone
i am my only friend
i know you want me to be social
but i'll say it once again
my mirror understands me
and she'll leave if i give in.
your backing me into a corner here
can you back up a bit?
i need to breath my own air
and marijuana is not it
and if that is being normal i don't wanna fit in
for everyone who says just because you're alone makes you "a loner"

i see stars
and far away
one’s shining bright
you

blinded means hell
but nobody can tell
how i feel when
you

can’t reach
can’t touch
just a little bit
too far to know

but i believe, i do
this is fully alive
recorded and true

the dream about you
We live in a world

Where children care more about
How much something costs
Than how much they want it

Where children learn
About ***
Before learning morals

Where people are more interested
In violence
than love

Where people choose leaders
Based on an adhesive sticker
On the back of a car

Where people are afriad
To speak what they want
For fear of being judged

Where people are killed
Because they don't believe
In what you think is right

Where a fifteen year old boy
Is the one writing all of these unfortunate truths
While the rest of the world is blind

And that's a **** shame
I quit pills the day you left me
on the stairwell.
"Not by choice." I hear you say
in my ear, in my phone, in my dreams.

I quit crying about you that day too.
By choice.
But your name is my favorite drug.
Not just the sound of it,
the way each syllable hits my veins
like whiskey fire, but the ritual of it.
The way it feels rolling across my tongue.

Mad
I am mad
Mostly
At myself

I could have
Done something
Yet I chose
Not to

Why?
I don't know
Why did I not
Do anything?

I am mad
At me, myself
And I

I chose not to act
On my beliefs and ideas
On my viewpoint
To help

Why?
I was afraid

Simpy afraid

If gravity is 9.8m/s², I must have been .294km in the +z direction because it only took 60 seconds for me to fall into you

—and then I hit the ground.
Going 75.9m/s or 273km/h. Physics midterm the other day.
My only relief is to be sleeping.
When I'm sleeping nothing can hurt me.
I can't be angry.
I can't spend my hours crying.
I won't feel like dying.
I can't feel the emotions that ****** me.

But when I'm awake..
I can't take the pain the surrounds me.
I become angry.
I can't help, but cry.
I just want to die.
I'm tired of running.
I'm sick of trying.
I want to stop crying.
I don't know why I keep lying.
I can't keep living.
I know I am dying.
My time is ticking.
My God I'm denying.
