100cc

An insulin syringe seems so small
Tiny actually
And all the things they can hold
Is almost too much to fathom

These little tubes
Can hold your car and your house
And as crazy as this sounds
Even your spouse

100cc's full of your hopes 
and your dreams
If this sounds too extreme
Just take it from me

These things can hold
Your family and your friends
And theres still plenty of room
For each of your kids

They'll hold your future
Even your past
And they've never failed
To fill up fast

So with this warning
What will you do
Risk it or not
It's all up to you

In the blink of an eye
Your worlds turned into a transparent liquid
It's all that's left
What will you do with it

The Struggle

Existing in a world
Full of lies and deceit,
I'm broken like a record
That constantly repeats.

Day after day 
It's the same routine,
I'm surrounding by nothing
But junkies and dope fiends.

Day and night
Running the streets,
Ducking and dodging
Avoiding police.

Trap house to crack house
Making our rounds,
Too worried we'll miss something
So we never lay down.

We steal and we lie
We keep getting high,
Got caught up slipping
Just trying to survive.

Headed back to county
Broke, no money for commissary
Tripped out while detoxing
So they moved me to solitary.

23 hours
7 day a week,
Unconditioned hair
Shower shoes on my feet.

I'm getting to know
This monster I've become,
Trying to figure out
What went wrong

Bridge after Bridge
So carelessly burned,
A million mistakes
And no lessons learned.

Stuck here in silence
Locked in this cage,
I stare at my calender
And mark down the days.

I long for the day
That I'll be set free,
I'm tired of the struggle
And ready for peace.

Gone Girl

I was gone before I left
I'd tried to find those feelings I'd once felt.
I forced a smile
In private I wept..
  I was gone before I left
I tried to forget about all the secrets you'd kept
I'd like awake next to you
While you peacefully slept..
  I was gone before I left
Id search for the answers that I'd never get
I blamed myself and became depressed
As you carried on with no regrets..
  I'm far from innocent
Never have I ever claimed to be
I didn't want you to stay
You wouldn't let me leave..
  You say our fate
Is something you'll never accept
But I had been gone
Long before I actually left..

Unlove You

   When I close my eyes 
I see you
No matter 
Where we are
You've captivated 
My mind
And shattered 
My heart

   You haunt me
In every dream
You are in everything
That I see

  You won't let me
Forget 
You won't allow me
To amend
I'm trying not to break
But I'm all out of bend

  You are everywhere
That I go
You are in everything 
That I do
You betrayed me
Let me unlove you

Unbalanced

We play and then fight
I'm wrong and you're right
You're happy I'm sad
I'm content and you're mad
 You're hot and I'm cold
I'm yes and you're no
We go up and then down
  You swim while I drown
I'm short and you're tall
You stand as I fall
  I'm young and you're old
You're fast and I'm slow
I'm weak and you're strong
    I'm short and you're long
I'm in and you're out
You're quiet and I'm loud
  I speak through your silence
I choose love while you choose violence
  I'm deep but you're shallow
One is empty and the other is hollow
You question and accuse
  I justify and excuse
You dispute and attack
I leave then come right back
  Someone is broken
The other is amused
 You continue to win
I will continue to lose

Mess Of Me

   I am a mess
Of good intentions
Gone wrong
I strike matches upon myself
To keep others warm
     And now my whole damn world is on fire
I try to put it out
The flames get higher
I traded truth
To be betrayed by liars
And silenced my needs
While fulfilling their desires
       The dam breaks
And the waters of my sorrow 
pour free
The lake is now full 
of all the debris
   The broken pieces 
Of my life
Blown to pieces
Like dynamite
That I never meant to ignite
An accidental suicide
       The lake will eventually 
Come to dry
As will the tears 
my eyes have cried
   I've wasted too much time
Swallowing my pride
Trying to keep everyone satisfied
Pretending I'm alright
Waging wars inside my mind
    I've destroyed myself
Along with my physical 
And mental health
I wish I could put my feelings
Up on a shelf
     I've creating my own living hell
                      I have made a mess of me

Dysfunctional

Loving and fighting
Accusing, denying
I can't imagine 
A world with you gone
    
    The joy and the chaos
The demons we're made of
I'd be so lost
If you left me alone

      Laughing and crying
Emotions are dying
I can't pinpoint
Just where we went wrong

    The moodswings and screaming
Cycles repeating
Maybe together
Ain't where we belong

     Manipulation and hatred
Depressed and frustrated
I refuse to continue
To be mocked and degraded

     Solace and peace
Just needing to breathe
You hope that I'll stay
I know I must leave

Accusations

"I'm short
I'm fat
I'm a wh*re 
My a*s is too flat

I b*tch too much
And play too little
I'm nothing but a sl*t 
Who f*ks for crystal

I'm never happy
Always sad
My hair is too nappy
I only make you mad

I suck in bed
Can't give good he*d
I'm not capable of making money
So I'm a thief instead

I'm ugly and disgusting
Nobody can trust me
I'm nothing but a h*e 
Who f*ks for dr*gs and money"

So next time you decide 
You might want to try to touch on me
Remember those words
The ones you've spoke of me
Because lies and accusations
May satisfy your conscience 
But I'm not the one
Harboring skeletons in the closet

Grief

 Grief is like floating
But more so in the water
It's like yearning for cold
But it keeps getting hotter

  Grief is like wanting to stand
But always falling
It's like waiting by the phone
But no one is calling

  Grief is like being exhausted
But you're wide awake
It's a never ending bend
When all of you is wanting to break

   Grief is like an emptiness
Where it once was whole
It's like needing an answer
To a question that nobody knows

   Grief is like silence
When you have so much to say
And once it arrives
It never goes away

Wherever You Are

I gaze into the sky
Admiring the stars
And I cant help but wonder
If they are this beautiful from
Wherever you are

   I sit in the quiet
Not hearing a sound
And I can't help but wonder
If the silence is as loud
Wherever you are

 I toss and I turn 
All throughout the night
And I cant help but wonder
If you're sleeping just fine
Wherever you are

  I think of your smile
I long for your touch
And I cant help but wonder
If you miss me just as much
Wherever you are
