I'm a puzzle
But half of my pieces
were thrown away
So I keep adding pieces
From different puzzles
I guess I'd rather be whole
Than be right

Nevermind
Ragged breath
Raw lungs
Swollen eyes
Twisted tongues
Frozen feet
Confused hands
No one will ever
Understand
"It's no big deal"
I should just "relax"
But they can't feel
Their sanity snap
When all the sudden
A panic attack
Consumes you entirely
And takes you back
To everything that
You've ever done wrong
At the very same time
Thinking nothing at all
Mind blank
Yet swirling with thoughts
I'm far past help
I'm just so lost
The water's high
And I'm so low
**** my life
No one knows
Or they think
But really don't
I'm just a mask
Over brittle bones
And nothing else
Yet somehow I'm housing
An inner hell
The only inhabitant
Being me
And the invisible voices
That constantly scream

Got Guanxi
Lay my head on a pillow of sentimental dreams.
Clouded vision, misguided moments.
Nostalgic memories, dispensed endorphinemachine.
Grudges held in high regards,
counterparts the spectrum of emotions experienced.

Token gestures of b r o k e n spirts,
r u g g e d features gold lies within it.

Within movements the snowflake melts in foreign temperatures.
History repeats itself,
things will never be the same again.

A beautiful eulogy,
an anthology of my soul.
Let it speak on the page in a delicate manner.
Channel my essence and bottle my compassion.
Make it happen.

Label it love.

Experience my being in your sensory safe house.
Whisper sweet nothings until they sweep me of my feet.
Hone in on my reason with the precision of multicoloured laser beams.
Lie to my in the format of lullabies.
Blow up my heart, let me be your doormat.
Actively break me, erupt and explode.
Eradicate your thoughts, erase what you were told.

Hang me out to dry -
let the crease decieve you.

Let me take over,
but don't let me defeat you.
this is one of those I found from a later night and it shows.

thank you Prince for the title

Wait a second.
Steady hand my right hand man.
That must be the effects of the Diazepam.

One in the chamber, one in the chest, one in the body and one in the head.

One for each of his family members,
picture him dead, picture perfect and pick up the pieces after the death.

.....if there's anything left.

I'm right over here.

tat
tat.

Onomatopoeia..

What's the matter dear?

Nothing to see here, but bullet ripped flesh and civilian fear.

No need for tears.
No need for tears.

Keep composed. You'll be home soon. In your own tomb or personal hell.
Waking to the sounds and screams of mortuary shells.  

Reload, you know how it goes.

Decomposed in a body bag, forever alone.
