Coins

Like a coin 
You have two sides
Kindness on one
And deceit on the other
Sometimes they combine
You act just like
A poisonous viper
I avoid your words
An obvious ploy
To twist mine
And make me the bad guy
I see your motives
I've been there before
The victim of hate
My trust level is low
My guard tower is high
I don't believe your lies
So hide your fake smile
And leave me be
I'm tired of being played
By coins all my life.

Suffocation

I dreamt of you last night
I felt strangled in my sleep
You loved me so fiercely
A feeling I didn't know
I ran from you
Just to keep my sanity
I realize each day the mistake I made
It suffocates me to the point of pain
You walked in the day 
I walked in the night
I was the dark 
And you were the light
I seek you again 
To atone for my sins
I know I'm not worthy
But live in the hope
Please accept my apology
So that I might feel again
Stop this suffocation
Help me remember how to breathe

Ignorance

I live in a land of ignorance
Hypocrisy
And shame
No one tells the truth
They hide behind religion
Claiming they're exempt 
From the sins they commit
By praying to a God
That doesn't exist
If he did
He'd be deaf and blind
To me at least
I feel like a I'm a joke
The whipping girl
To a cruel deity
We live in a world
Where the losers are winners
And the righteous are sinners
I get questioned daily
About why I'm an atheist
Just look at my body and mind
And you will see
Just how cruel life can be
I got dealt a hand a cannot hold
Maybe I should just fold
The cards are rigged
And my fate is sealed
I'll never be a winner
So why play at all

Guilty

Sometimes I feel so guilty
For the things I've done
And for the things I'll do
I see my face in the mirror
Shaking it's head in disgust
Why must I always 
Make the wrong choice
I should be smarter now
But I keep slipping back
Into the bad thoughts
And the misguided actions
I abhor the me I was
And fear the me I'll become
Guilt plagues me
For the ones I've wronged
I should be brighter
I should've done the right thing
But like a coward
I shrunk back 
Into the dark
Into the oblivion 
That consumes my soul
And turns my heart black
I'm not a good person
I never will be
But I want the chance to change
To be a new me
And to remove the guilt
That makes me grieve

Consumption

I want you out of my head
You eat at me like a worm
Your memory has plagued me for years
The hurt consumes me
It shouldn't be this way
I should move on
But every now and then
You come into my head 
I dream of you
The way we used to be
I find myself wishing
For the life we could have had
If gets harder every day 
To push away the past
And so I repeat
I want you out of my head
Please stop consuming my brain
And my heart

Conundrum

I forget things a lot
Its not on purpose
I know it annoys you
And for that, I'm sorry
My brain goes faster than my mouth
Mixing my words up
You laugh at my stuttering
Did you know it kills me inside
Do you even care
To you I'm just a sideshow freak
A person to taunt
And not to love 
Do you even know
What it's like in my shoes
Do you even care
No. That would be too simple
Just point and laugh
I am your toy 
And you play with my feelings
Way too Damn often

Humiliated

You've made fun of me
From day one
I should've never told you
Who I was
You laugh at me daily
It hurts inside
If I say something
I must be overly sensitive
I shouldn't be ashamed
To be who I am
But you make it a joke
And I wish I had lied
I'm not happy around you
I'm just your sideshow freak
Because of my sexuality
I'm a joke to you

Solitude

I crave solitude
A place to keep my thoughts
Others distact me
They make me uncomfortable
I hide in my room
To escape the cacophony
The noises penetrate my mind
They make me yearn for sweet solitude
And yet I feel too alone
I feel the need for a friend
Someone to share my solitude 
Someone to remove the shadows
Make the sun shine again
Stop the noises
And calm my mind
Could you please end my solitude?

Hush

My brain ticks all night long
Keeping me awake
I wish it would grant me a repreive
I crave the silence
The slide into oblivion
The dreams that guide me
And the hope for a better tomorrow
Instead there are thoughts
Best left in the dark
Hatred that knows no bounds
And wounds that will not heal
A past that haunts me
And follows without rest
I need a new dawn
Without a sleepless night
A dream of sweet peace 
Instead of pain and blight
