feels regret

Confusion

Rock

Hard place

Happy

Depressed

Worthless

Heart says

Worth Everything

Find the light

What light

Mind says

Keep going

I'm a fighter

Round 57

All the Worlds a Stage

All the worlds a stage 
and all the men and women mearly players. 
They have their entrances 
and their exits and one man in his time plays many parts.... 
I've played my dream role. 
I've seen it come to pass. 
I've cried at the closing of the show whilst the show of my life continues on.
If I could reprise the role for just a day, I would. 
To see, 
to taste,
to touch, 
to understand and laugh with the text, 
to understand every nuance and quirk of the show. 
One last time and serve it justice.
To make sure that the show never closed
So if for whatever reason the show did close, no one would ever play it better than I. For now the play continues on.
Maybe, just maybe, one day I'll get to reprise that role. 
On that day, if that day happens, 
and if that day comes shining it's beautiful face to the dawn of a new tomorrow;
I'll weep golden, shimmering tears of joy.

Take Care of My Heart Or Italian Girl

Nineteen weeks

One hundred and thirty three days

three thousand one hundred and ninety two hours

one hundred and ninety one thousand five hundred twenty minutes

eleven million four hundred and ninety one thousand two hundred seconds

It will take me this long to see you again 


Off you fly

Back home to Italy

Back home to Pinerolo

Home with your books

Home with your personality

Home with your looks

Home with my heart


I said I was done

Done with love

Done with Romance

Done with getting hurt

Done with these Rosalines 


Somehow you made me break my word

All the pounding on my wall

Girls tried to break it down

Like Frankenstein’s mob

But along you came

So much as leaning on my wall

You made it collapse

I never thought I’d get the chance

To see the other side of that wall


Now we have said good bye

That airplane will be boarding

Carrying my heart away to Italy


But this is not the end

This is the mid season break

the one more episode on Netflix

this is A Pair of Blue Eyes


Call me a hopeless romantic

It’s completely true

I’m just an American boy

Falling for an Italian girl


I’ll be waiting

Until that plane lands again in August

Take care of my heart

But enjoy your time

Be free and run wild

If we are meant to be

We will be

Friends

I’m not mature??Who ever said I was mature?
Twenty years old being told everyday that I’m not perfect
I’m not pigeonholed so leave me out of your doubt that I know who I am

Know that I'm not perfect and I don't need a daily reminder. 
You're not funny and I'm not amused.
Let me work on me
It’s been a long road

my whole life I’ve been left out in the cold
mocked and pushed
I’ll strain to be the man I am 

but ?I don’t need your reminder
I don’t need your constant belittlement 
I’m not a child but I know I’m not yet a true man
I’ll find my way
I’ll be the man I want to become
Your constant deprecation doesn’t bring to light any realization,
prophecy, or new nirvana to my life
be the friends you say you are
Because I don’t need a daily reminder that I’m not at my destination yet
I already know I’m miles from where I started

Temporary Or Permanent

So much to say and no one to say it to
Well that’s not entirely true
You just don’t want me to

You have the strength of Hercules
Yet use it to hurt those close to you

You have the judgement of God
yet use it to push people away

Quick to assume 
Slow to reason

like a lightning bolt out of hell
You are unpredictable
and shocking

You are Rocky Balboa
Picking fights with everyone
see who goes
Or see who stays

You are my best friend
and my worst enemy

For now we’ll lay this to rest
I’ll speak with you again

Hopefully soon
Maybe never

You hold a grudge
but do I deserve it

You have the judgement of God
So let’s see how the scales turn

Sympathy

No matter what I do
I will never be good enough
I feel I'm going to fail 
as an artist
I'm going to **** up my life
I know I am not good enough
to be worth anyones' time
energy
or life
only their sympathy

Waking Up Alive

I have to try

I have nothing to contribute

I have nothing to give to this world

I have nothing going for me

I have one more thing I fail at

I have woken up again

Gutted In the Rain

Gutted. Absolutely gutted.
I know fairytale from truth 
I know not all in life has a happily ever after
I know not everything works out
I know all of this
I never knew it could happen to me
I never knew I could be left gutted
I never thought I'd be left standing in the cold rain 
What happens when your princess says "I don't love you"
What do I do when I'm so deep in love I can't dig my way out
What happens when you become vulnerable and can't raise a shield
I've held my shield strong
I've held it for four years
Had my heart ripped out once
Had a transplant and said not twice
Lowered my shield
Professed my heart
Had my heart ripped twice
Need a transplant
I need a new heart
One that is harder
One that is colder
One that is sturdier than before
I've let my shield fall twice
The first I was young
The first I was fearless
The first gave me a joyless time
I said never again and raised my shield
Through my broken heart I healed
Through my broken heart I learned strength
Though my broken heart I became Hercules
More like Achilles
I became so confident
I became older
I became wiser
I wouldn't let anyone lower my shield 
Until her
She lowered my shield
She made my heart feel full again
She made me smile
She made me laugh
She made me feel loved
She made me feel wanted
She grounded me
She balanced out my flaws
She made me run
She made me jump
She made me giggle
She made me sigh
She made me feel like that young, dumb, eighteen year old again
Alas, she made me cry
She struck me down
She through my shield away
She brought me to my knees begging for mercy
She told me "I don't love you"
Her I sit
Cross from her on this bus
As we ride
plans are plans
My heart is rip'ing
I'm gutted
Standing in the cold rain
Princessless
Shieldless
Melted shattered heart
Gutted

Goblins

In the forest of my mind

The Goblins run amuck

I can not see the path

It all runs together

Stones are moved


Goblins run my mind

Fear of love

Love of fear

Afraid to feel safe

Feel safe when I’m afraid


Goblins take control

My mind is a circus

Of middle Earth??No Gandolf to save me

My order to destroy the menace


Goblins think I’m precious

At least someone cares

Depression will always be there

Like no one else will
