The Carousel

Lately I've had to grit my teeth to find the strength to breathe
Even my favorite things are becoming unbearable
I use to find it  beautiful
that life is like a carousel
but I've been at the fair for too long
and I can't take one more sad song
I don't wanna be in the cold when the music stops
and I don't wanna feel empty when the high wears off
I want to get off this ride
but there are some people I can't leave behind
Even if it means suffering for a lifetime.

American Horror Story

Reading. Crying. Screaming.
Begging you to listen
You only believe what makes you feel good
You Laugh, and say "don't you know I'm a Christian?"
The only thing you question is science and empathy
Not lies, not religion, and not your racist parent's beliefs 
Unconcerned with how your decisions affect us here and now
because you're so sure god is coming to bail you out
You don't have to care about the people, animals, or trees
All you have to do is say forgive me and I believe
For everyone else the pain you have inflicted is all around you
DEI roll back, labor camps, and cuts on your social security too
You scape-goat minorities despite all of the statistics
Facts over feelings would just be sadistic 
Unless of course, it's to justify some racist bullship
"The minorities are the ones to blame, not the billionaire politicians!"
"Yeah!" you shout "The billionaires earned it!"
If you count fraud, tax evasion, and exploitation of employees
Now you're in too deep
You'd rather vote for fascism than admit you're on the wrong side of history 
You're every republican politicians dream
You vote against your own interests in the name of hating minorities
While California is in flames and Florida is in a blizzard
You blame the libs and their weather machines
It couldn't possibly be the effects of climate change that we have been warned about for years
Soon we will have no more crocodile tears
You're so sure that Nobel prize winning scientists and economists have made it their life's mission to lie
For all of your information, you look to the orange guy
I have to say it does feel bitter sweet
Knowing you set the world on fire, but at least you'll burn with me

Days of the Weak

I'm your punching bag
I'm all the negative thoughts you've ever had
When your cup gets empty you can drink from mine
I'll drink all the promises you left behind
You had a bad day so I'll turn the other cheek
If I try to resist you'll call me weak
So I take it because somehow the alternative hurts much worse
Is this really my life or is it a curse
Break my things like you break my heart
You can break my soul but I'll still make art
Feels so pathetic how I can't walk away
It's the only feeling worse than if I stay
You know this so
You threaten it often
The only way I'm leaving is in my coffin

Sunshine

Some days I sing into the void
Vibrating with serotonin and enthusiasm
Unable to imagine a reality without a never ending stream of intense euphoria
Other days I am the void
Radiating melancholy and agony uncontrollably
My own intrusive thoughts slice through me like daggers
You called me sunshine
Yet I was shivering in the tundra of my mind
I'm reminded one does not have to feel warm to illuminate others

Everything and Everyone

I am a golden sunset after rain
A warm light emerging from pain
Sometimes blue, sometimes gray
Forever changing and experiencing the array
I am Venus and I am Mercury
The stars, the Earth, and the Sea
I am everything and everyone 
Consciousness belongs to no one
