In every perfect city
are perfect little streets
and on these perfect streets
are perfect little houses
constructed with perfect little frames
and perfect little shapes.
Inside every perfect house
lives a perfect little family
with a mom and a dad
along with little sue and...
The wide gap of space next to me reminds me that you’re no longer here.
I roll over,
remembering.
I pretend you’re next to me, like you once were.
Your finger tips grazing the edges of my lips.
Your pale blue eyes searching mine, looking for things that even I didn’t know.
A piece hai...
I am strong. I can be strong. I have to be strong. I don’t care what people think. I walk with ease, pushing judgements to the far edges of my mind. They’re unable to scratch my surface. I put up the cool walls of collectiveness, of togetherness. I am not a twig, nor close to skinny at all. But ...
I wanted to freeze this moment,
just for a second.
Hold on to it,
savor it for all that it’s worth.
I can feel it passing,
that it’s about to be gone
before I even realize it.
My finger tips are just about to graze
this space in time so it’s mine forever.
Then,
I blinked....
I woke up, thrashing around in the darkness.
My arm flailed everywhere,
searching for a blanket or something of protection.
I heard a loud noise escape from my mouth
but it did not register that it was coming from me.
Screams of fear.
Screams of terror.
I felt afraid and I felt alone.
My...
No, true courage doesn’t alway require you to put something of high importance at risk. Jumping out of an airplane is not courageous because you are risking your life, but it is foolish. My own definition of true courage is being able to overcome internal battles and struggles, no matter how fearf...
"We have one more gift, something special for you," my grandma said while she handed me a generic Christmas bag.
I nervously laughed while trying to avoid eye contact. I timidly reached in the bag and my hand grazed something soft. I try not to glance down, prolonging my anxious family...
Her eyes slowly drift to the bottom drawer while she contemplates her options.
Flashes of sharp metal fluttered across her eyelids.
grinning a sickening smile
she reached for the knob to the drawer.
there laid her salvation
her escape of reality.
she held her devilish savior in her hands

Do you ever get that feeling?
The feeling where you don't want anyone around, you don't want to talk to anyone?
Yet you so badly want to speak but have no idea what words to say.
Fearing the fact that people won't understand
or the moment you do say something
it's as if y...

Harsh words and violent blows
Hidden secrets nobody knows
Eyes are open, hands are fisted
Deep inside I’m warped and twisted
So many tricks and so many lies
Too many whens and too many whys
Nobody’s special, nobody’s gifted
I’m just me, warped and twisted
Sleeping awake and choking o...
Tears roll down a solemn face
And empty bed sheets fill a quiet space
Remembering the memories we shared on this floor
Creates more emotion than ever before
You were high on meth
And i naiive
The past is the past
But it seems I can't leave
Why am I stuck
On this one moment in time?
I shoul...
You lure me in
and spit me out,
thinking I know
nothing about,
the way you tease
and pull me in,
yet I fall for the trick
again and again.
I listen to your harsh demands,
wishing just to hold your hand.
I follow through,
but where are you?
You split and run
like a bullet from the gun....
If you could,
would you change
all the things
that caused explicit pain?
The things you hid
deep inside,
now come to surface,
breathing and alive.
Would you trade the bad for good?
But what will happen
to the lessons you knew?
Are they gone?
Out the window
like your bleeding hea...
This night, today,
We can confess, it's okay.
Let our tears leek,
For the words we thought we couldn't speak.
For, those feelings we can't let go,
Confess for each other to know.
We thought we were all alone,
unaware of the other in our home.
Saying words that no one can say,...
Demanding desires have no effect
Just a pain that's not to deflect
Any pain that can occur even now
screaming thoughts, pondering how?
How can this be of affliction?
The works and thoughts of dereliction
Break down our reality
Shredding all thoughts but actuality
In this world
PAUSE

I am on the ground
impossible to reach up.
Look down on me
as I look up.
I cannot stand it
because you're no better.
You think you're perfect
I think never.
They think you're something,
to me you're nothing.
If you were able to observe yourself from my eyes,
that is when you seize to reli...

When the music plays
We see the blood
The world decays
In our minds’ flood
We see the truth behind the lies
We don’t even bother killing the flies
How is it that we have to be told
That beauty stays and never gets old
The music brings us the epiphany
To welcome the birds and kiss the ...
