It's 3am

I'm on the phone
No one's awake and I'm alone

It's 3am

The radio's on
Songs are played on lonely station

It's 3am

I'm in my bed
My eyes are open and sleep has fled

It's 3am

I'm on the balcony
The sky is dark and just quite scary

It's 3am

Some windows have lights
Could they also not sleep tonight

It's 3am

I'm still awake
When will life ever give me a break
Insomniac nights are the worst. And it's been going on like this for quite awhile.

My friend told me
the death brings life meaning
and I told her
that’s why we hustle for the win
because every one might be our last

Hey mom-dad, listen.
Hit me, hate me, throw me out,
But don't shut me up.
My dear mom, my dear dad,
Please listen to me talk.
You're the place where I can unveil myself and be true to who I am.
You're the place where I can pour my heart out and expect to be heard.
You're the place I want to spend my life talking and being heard.
Please don't tell me to shut up
Because I talk too much,
Because no one likes what I speak,
Because I talk *******,
Because no one would listen to me,
Because I need to stay silent sometimes,
Because nobody likes the stories I have to tell,
Please don't tell me to shut up,
Just because that's what I need to do.
Listen to me.
Please.

I'm tired.
Tired of everything.
I just want to sleep,
And never wake up again.

No, I'm not lazy,
I'm not running away from life.
I'm just tired of the world and myself,
And too tired to change anything.

I'm suffocating,
A mouthful of teeth,
and a swollen tongue
blocking the way
of air,
of a voice
full
of reaching words,
full
of truth.
Constricting throat,
spasming lungs,
a world
coming undone,
after
a
simple question,
one,
that I still can't
answer.
Choking,
I cough
out a lie,
maybe to buy
more time,
maybe to keep
my emotions
in line.
Breathe.
"I'm Fine."

Mr Xelle
I bet you’re not even worried
You miles away and I been right here
Waiting ... kicking the rocks
Waiting ... building blocks
Waiting ... feeling distraught
Feeling so lost , feelings so lost
Thrusting my my eyes and walking these blocks
Kicking these rocks keeping these rocks
Throwing them at the stars
Earth has never felt so cold ...I swear .
