What Is Normal?

Normal is now what everyone thinks is strange
Normal is being nice and polite
Having manners 
Normal is knowing how to cry and be sad.
Normal is giving into your human side 
But not letting it control your whole being. 
Being normal is being responsible for things that happen
Being normal is giving a crap. 
Its caring about what happens to you in life 
Its going from day to day and actually trying to make it out alive
Its caring 
Normal= feeling= human
People that aren't normal, don't care.
People that give a crap, and try and do what they don't want to do
They are normal
People that go to work every freaking day and get up and get out of bed and get 
dressed.
Those people are normal.
The people who give a crap
They have feelings
They hurt 
They bleed 
They are vulnerable
They are normal

Not Ready At All and Running Scared.

All my life I have been itching to be free
Be let loose
Let go
But now, I'm not so sure
I don't know what to do
Just thinking about the day I become an adult
Scares me
How am I going to make it on my own?
How will I survive with out my mom?
She has always been there for me
Always been by my side
How am I going to do it without her
I'll have to pay my own bills
And go to work and school
And College
Its mind blowing
I wish I hadn't already lived 18 years
Half my life is gone
And what do I have to show for it
Scars and bad memories
I wish I could restart my life from the beginning 
I feel like a goldfish in the ocean.
I am not ready
Not ready at all
I'm tumbling into the ocean

I Will Follow You Into the Dark

"I wish you would just unclench your fists and let go of all your pain and hurt.
It doesn't help to keep it bottled up inside.
I can see it...
Eating away at you
Eating you from the inside
The pain and worry is sucking you dry.
Its taking everything into its black hole 
All that you have left is anger and worry
And pain
Your worriying is taking up all of your energy. 
'Stop it.
Stop yelling at me
You are hurting me 
I love you and I want you better.'
'Can't you see Christan?'"

"I wish that you would just leave me alone.
Let me wallow in my pain.
Let me sit here in the dark
You are so quick to help
When you are part of the problem
You make me angry
You make me mother you
I take care of you and watch over you 
I do everything for you mother.
Why can't you just let me go?"

"I can't" she said, facing the empty black hole where I was slanding.
"I will follow you into the dark"

She said as she stepped across the threshold of my mind
Entering this strange place
My dark bitter heart echoing around her.
"I will follow you into the dark." she said.

Father, Family, Foundation.

" I am so always hungry."
Which is true. 

If I am not hungry for food,
Then I am hungry for something bigger.

Answers to the secrets of the universe,
True Love,
A more substantial bustline.

I hunger for contentment
Just to be able to sit and be,
Exist... without wondering.
Thinking. 
Drifting off into the empty, full to the brim chaos of my mind.
I wound be able to sit in complete silence.
But no, I am always hungry for knowledge and love...

Above all, love and answers to life. 
And happiness. 
Contentment, normalcy

I am constantly waking up in the middle of the night, starving. 
Starving for attention,
Love

A father, family, foundation.

In This Land of Mediocracy... I Crave Normalcy.

I crave to have a voice.
I crave to be heard
To be heard above all the static and white noise. 
Of this everyday bland american life. 
No one is unique anymore. 
No one wants to be a voice. 
No one hungers for knowledge or a challenge.
No one wants to be challenged.
I want people to hear me
And understand me.
I can't stop talking, writing, thinking, hurting
Because i know they can't hear me.
They keep going on with their life.
Living behing diseased eyes and brains and rotton hearts.
I am yelling and screaming 
Trying to save them, save their lives. 
Trying to save them from mediocracy and the curse of average and fake.
All they hear is silence
They can't feel emotion
Hear pain
We have become robots, zombies.
Walking along the earth like Cain and Able. 
Was I cursed to wander the earth forever and never find what i was looking for?
I am cursed like them. 
I have the same characteristics to hate...judge...
Discriminate.
It sucks
I want to be normal
I crave normalcy.

Loose Ends and Fallling Down Over Untied Laces.

There is this feeling I don't like
Loose ends

They drive me crazy
It's like when you fall asleep on the floor watching TV and you wake up
The TV is still going and all the lights are still on
You're drooling everywhere. 
And you've been out cold for a couple of hours. 

It's that feeling of, "What the heck happened?"
What did I miss?
And then you are so exhausted that you just get up and shut off the TV
And then stalk off to your room
Then you wake up the next day and that feeling is even worse,

Especially the second you wake up in the morning and you are
Tired 
Grouchy
And just plain not doing good,
That feeling of loose ends just makes you want to cry.
Its so irritating... just rubbing..rubbing
Rubbing you the wrong way.

Because you fell asleep the night before on your living room floor
Thus creating billions of loose ends.
And uneasy feelings
Its terrible
Loose ends...I hate them
I just hate the feeling that something is out of place

Or the fact that you missed something huge.
Something worthwhile 
And you missed it because you were asleep on your living room floor

Something is seriously wrong.
Its like something was supposed to happen
And the fact that it didn't, makes everything all fall out of wack.
And get messed up

I hate loose ends.

Black and White

We see things as black and white.
Right and wrong
We are blind to what is in the middle
It's a whole new life
The wrong doesn't overshadow the right.
People are seen and accepted for who they really are
And not what they are expected to be
Common folk are just as important as the famous.
Love is..
What love truly should be.
Love.
Nothing less, not just a word thrown around like any other word
It truly has a meaning
The meaning of true love
In this unseen place-
We are not perfect,
Or even close to being Gods
We are, who we are
Here we aren't hiding behind a mask that 
Celebrities, film makers, and higher powers have created for us
But we are the true faces God himself intended for us to live with 
So lets find this middle ground and live our true lives!

Their Faces Are Caving In

I think that the only time that we turn into a human from that fake zombie thing, is 
when we are hurting.
They are quick to keep that perfect face on,
But they slip when they are hurt
And that mask moves out of its place because the pain is making its way
To your face and your eyes and your brain
So people can see your eyes water
and your "face of faces" cave in on itself 
and turn into their face
Their real face 
Its like any other time, they would be strong enough to keep their
"Face" in place
But being upset of depressed caused them to let it slip.
They let all the world seethat they were hurting
And hurting is real
Only real people feel pain.
Our eyes are warped 
We only see certain things 
So we can't see past their "face of faces"
With our own eyes 
When we are hurting is when we can see them . 
We can see their shrivled up faces.

Love

Love is all it is cracked up to be.
Thats why people are so cynical about it.
It really is worth fighting for
Being brave for
Risking everything for, and the trouble is;
If you don't risk everything, you risk even more.

Love is as much an object as it is an obsession
Everybody wants it, craves it
Everybody seeks it
But few will ever find it
Those who are lucky enough to 
Will cherish it forever
Be lost in it
And among all
Never
Ever forget it.

I've decided to stick with love 
Hate is too big a burden to bear.
