I told myself I wouldn’t stress.
But it’s eight p.m. and I’m a mess

Insanity? I’m on the brink
I...

where does love come from?
where does love stop?
i've met too many that speak of its nonexistence

you through.

There's nothing to write about.
There is NOTHING HERE. 
Nothing is on this page? Nothing
Is here it's everywhere! All around 
This town. Taking spaces. Quietly
Lingering in places unseen. Nothing
Eludes me. Nothing pursues me.

No one understands the personal battles.
No one knows that pain
That I go through every single day.
Darkness constantly attacking my brain.

I go through thoughts that would make
The common man insane.

All trees travel skyward
All leaves seek to hug sun
All flowers wish to emit scent
I too crave for the crescent

Dispose of it and
