My Love

My Love is ......
She is many things
Beautiful
Sweet
A Princess
and sometimes a Vampire Queen
but love has gotten tricky for me
I believe I overdosed on love
I have been hallucinating for a while 
but now I am coming down from my high and the withdrawals
oh the withdrawals 
I am haunted in my dreams 
Awake or Asleep
The nightmares wake me up with screams and anger
Then sadness follows triumph 
but she is still My Love
So I hold onto our wishes, dreams and all the pinky promises
I need time though to rid the withdrawals and the anxiety that comes with 
So much time
So I ask My Love give me time
I Do Love You

A Letter To My Friends

A Letter to My Friends
I love you all
Always there for me
Through it all
But if only you all knew what was happening to me now
If only you could feel what I feel
You know what I want
Every one of you knows what I want
I want you, you, you, and you
That’s all
But everyone is so far away
Physically and Emotionally
Who do I go to now?
Who do I have?
Myself? 
No never
My emotions are killing me
Slowly
They have gotten hold of the torturer’s tools
Oh how I admire them
Every tool with its own purpose
The knife to peel away my skin 
The blow torch to burn my wounds shut
The sledgehammer to break my bones
The mirror in front of me so I can see the torture taking place 
The drill 
Oh the drill
When awake or asleep they drill through my head to get into my mind
The terrible things I see 
Every Day
They offer me a way out
My emotions hand me a belt
They offer to drive my car 
They ask me to take up shooting
They love to whisper in my ear
“Everything can go way”
“You can have sweet relief”
“The stress and pain, just gone”
Tempting
Very tempting
I cry into my pillow once it is all over
Screaming out into an empty void
Asking strangers for help
They just run away
So I write a letter to my friends
I need help
Yours Truly,
G

White Male

I am a white male
I am a rapist
I am a racist 
I am a pig
I’m supposed to think I’m better than you
Wait sorry
I am better than you
These are things I don’t think I am
But they’re attached to me
I feel as I am a martyr for the ones who attack me
And they put me down
And they make me angry
 Now I feel oppressed 
But oh wait I’m not allowed to be oppressed 
I’m a white male 
I have no problems 
Everything is easy for me
But it’s not
I don’t like being looked at as a rapist
I don’t wanna be known as a racist 
I don’t think I’m better than you
So don’t talk to me like you’re scared of me
Don’t talk to me like I’m going to be mean to you
Don’t talk to me like I’m better than you
Just talk to me like I am you

I'M Scared

I'm scared
I'm so scared
I don't know what to do anymore
I don't know what to say
What do I do tomorrow?
I don't want this feeling to be gone
I want to know it's here
I don't want it to be repressed for it to come out later
I want it to be resolved 
I want it to be fixed
Not just subsided or pushed away to come again
I want it gone
So if one like it comes again I can resolve it
I can be okay
I don't want to be scared
I'm okay with this
I'm just scared
I'm scared of the way I feel
I can feel everything
I don't want to be scared anymore
Please just stop
Please
I'm sorry
I'm so sorry
I'm trying I promise
Just please don't go
Not now
I'm sorry
I'm just scared

Falling

I climb
I climb
I climb
but I always fall back to the bottom
I find hope
Hope looks like a hand hold
I grab on
I push myself up and it gives
I am back at the bottom
Staring into the darkness hope is fading
Time is running out
How much longer?
Can I holdout?
Will the darkness take me?
I just need one hold not to give out 
Just one
So many have crumbled 
Where is my hope now?

My Heart Break

My Heartbreak begins when panic sets in
I shake with no control of my body
I cry in disbelief
I am freaking out
What do I do?
What didn't I do?
My chest is pounding
With every beat my heart breaks a little
I can't stop shaking
I have no control
Only my emotion has control
Fear, pain, and panic has hit me all at once
They take my body for four hours with no end
I cry, shake, and muffle my screams
Then it suddenly stops
As the last piece of my heart has been broken off

The Ether of Silence

A man screams for help
but no one hears him
He screams on the inside
but his screams are consumed by his internal ether
Swallowing every cry for help
Tears fill his eyes as he tries to ask a stranger for help
Nothing but Silence 
The man falls in compliance with silence
Too afraid to trust
because he knows once you trust
the shield protecting you begins to rust
Vulnerable to the emotional attacks of Man/Woman
As his screams are silenced by his internal ether 
he has no choice but to wait
for a voice to question
"What's wrong?"
"Are you okay?"

What I Did

I get it
I finally understand
You did not feel like my first choice
And the problem is you weren't
But you should have been
I treated you like I have been treated before
I once felt like you
I didn't realize that until it was too late
That is how come I lost my best friend
I wasn't his first choice anymore and he wasn't the same
But maybe we can rebuild you and I
We can't fix what is broken
But we can make a new
Just give me a chance
And let me tell you this
You have made me better
Thank You

Captive

I am shackled
like an animal who seeks freedom
I want to be set free
I want to explore
I want to be happy
Will someone set me free?
Who has my keys?
Please
I want my ties to be gone
So I have no worries
Maybe then I will be free
