There is this weight pulling at me It's trying it's best to hold me down It's making me feel as though I'm alone Even when there are people around I wish that it would go away Somehow disappear and let me be But that seems to be a wasted wish It refuses let loose of its grip on me I'm having...

my potential, an entity I've put on a pedestal I spend my days climbing her ridiculously high ladder with gift-wrapped handmade blades; only leaving when her skin is ripped & her dreams for me fade, little by little The cruelty of my actions is but merely protection from rejection I need her to let me go,but she...

How can you truly be happy, when you`ve never felt it before, like your whole life you`ve only felt nothing else but a heart that´s sore? How do you know happiness isn´t made for you? Can I even believe that it`s something that exists, that is true? I`ve never shared a real smile before, always for...

Raw, unfiltered anger, it’s all that I know. Constantly Aggravated by worthless pieces of scum that I struggle Getting off of my shoes. A nasty glare, a hostile retort, Everything and anything can, and will, fan the flame. After the infliction, what happens then? A swelling, a vicious, Nasty swelling in the throat. A horrible torrent of flames threatens to Destroy...

This isn't what it seems to be. You've lost your self behind thought of me. Relentless, they won't you sleep. Infectious, it's hidden there in your dreams. A shadow strung across the ground, Its longing for another mouth to feed. I told you we should never be. Now look into my eyes while they bleed. Do you want to break my...

She had black lipstick stains on her cigarettes. A broken doll with eyes like the abyss. Two barcodes hanging on to both wrists. She said wait right here your really going to love this. She bit my neck, blood draining from her lips. A pair of fish net tights stuffed into both slits. Then she went down, and I went down. She...

I’ve moved out (of school), I’m moving in (to school). My joke is that I’m having a ‘moving experience.’ Graduating college (3 days ago) was a dream come true I’m starting a master’s degree in 7 days. You have to admire the efficiency. Do I have your permission to bear my soul? I might have imposter syndrome. I’m a harsh critic—of everything—but mostly...

Flapping without flying. It feels okay. Your scales of fur corrode. A foul, but sweet, but warm, but damp... Scent of something new. You're red and blue tomorrow, Yellow, pink, today. But forever, I'd say grey. You're white, dirtied, pure. Once lost, but now at home. If invaders must die, Make yourself the furniture. You can stain my doormat red, So you can see me before we part. And...

I love this road. Every little mound, and every crevasse, Flower filled, to the brim. The moths and mosquitos caught in my headlamps. Trees of aspen and oak keeping me on track. And here, the night clouds are much darker than the night sky. And jets zoom 50 metres above my head, asking, "What are you here for?" In which I respond, "I'm...

You tied the noose that I hang from I stare at the writing on the wall I feel like all the words are written wrong My feet can’t find the stall I wish my thoughts would just be gone I am the rope in which they tie I can’t seem to shape the future of my life Got me thinking am I...
