sweet chill of the air
glorious relief from heat
October is here

Numb
That is all i can feel.
Numb
Nothing seems real.
Numb
I can't pretend that it's fine
You've worn me to the ground.
Every feeling i once felt
is not pounded.
So my heart is left bare
No feelings live there.
I feel the beat of once happy blood
flow through my veins.
It's blue. oxygen is dried.
Used by all the painful tears i have cried.

A fools heart
Or a wise man's brain?
This will surely drive me insane

In the darkest region of my brain
A somber eye swollen with pain
Begins to shed salty tears again

Some seep through cracks
On dilapidated walls of shattered dreams
Others burn through misty reason like sunbeams

They drip into a puddle in a rhythmic beat
One after the other from the crow’s feet
This insane chant to endlessly repeat:

-Awake, alert, aware-
Of my wrath beware
The green-eyed monster
Will break its chain
Feed on your brain
Drive you insane
-Tap, tap, tap-

tears are wasted often
on the people
who touch
and then
abandon

feelings are evil
only trouble
it leaves you
in a bubble
trapped inside
with no hopes of escape
it leaves you lost
and confused
about what love is
what it's meant to feel like
what it is meant to portray
what it is meant to create

we fall so many times
for the same trick
we feel so weak
emotions leave us
feeling hopeless

we cling to such bad habits
people whom are addictive
we get lost in our lives
it feels quite tragic

we try and see
the good
even in
the bad

it is sad
how we
fall victim
to the same ****
again and again

bad luck finds it's way
into your gentle veins
and poisons, weakens
it changes you
completely

it changes it all
the way you think
the way you touch
the way you kiss
the way you
separate yourself
from everyone else

not a nice way
of living
living in fear
all of the time
spending your days
in fear of being abandoned
and broken, torn, blinded
by the thoughts
and doubts
stopping you
from being free
and somewhat happy

Four years
Of slicing up my arms
My legs
Leaving scars

Four years of thinking
About the easy way out
Of this messed up thing
We've named "Life"

Four years of rocking back
And forwarth
Just wishing for this
Sour day to end

You say it will
Get better
That it will end up
Okay in the end

I might actually believe you
If it weren't for the fact
That I have heard it
All before

Just from different mouths
Spilling the same lie
Over and over
Never ending

Like if you say it enough
You might not only convince me
But yourself
That it will be okay

But we both know
That no mater how many times
We chant these words
Into nothing but air

That it will not be okay
It will never be okay
And I don't know if I
Can chant any more
Build a castle and tear it down.
Announce the king but break the crown.
Tame the horse, but set it free.
Save a butterfly but take it's wings.
Cure the disease but pull the plug.
Promise not to leave then stick the key under the rug.
Sweep the girl off her feet but leave her heart on the ground.
You can't stop the contradictions now.

It's crippling habit, you cant quite quit.
It all started when you took your first hit.
Your heart was broken to create a fool.
Who truly believes his tongue is a tool.
To twist and demean words, to trick them into lust.
To tear apart the hope that every one entrusts.
Into a hole you've fallen now, you can't escape, you can't get out.
No one is there to lend a hand, they don't care now but you'd understand.


This is a letter to the ones like me, like how I used to be.
You must stop running, let love take control and if you think you'll regret it, remember no one wants to die alone.

I may not be

I may not be the fastest
I may not be the tallest
     Or the strongest

I may not be the best
Or the brightest

    But one thing I can do better
     Than anyone else...

      That is

        To be me
