Eulogy For the Best Dad
My dads an army guy
He’s a tough love kind of guy
He's an early riser type of guy.
Sit you at the kitchen table
Before school to get your
Daily dose of fruit kind of guy.
He’s the guy that drove you to
and from school to only become your gym teacher.
My life has been made up of long walks and I owe it to him.
Any time of year you’ll see me with a cup of coffee
and that’s all because of him.
Coffee, long walks, always led to hours of talk of school, boys, and future plans.
He set the standard for showing me how a guy...

On My Own
Uncontrollable emotions
Lack of support.
Always something negative to say.
People just don’t get it.
They see one side of me,
And when they get a glimpse of another
Suddenly they say I’m somebody else.
But it’s me!
Can’t you see you?
Can’t you hear ?
I️ haven’t changed.
You just don’t know me.
You’d do anything for me
But show up to a family session.
You’re right.
You’re not a parent.
You’re not my mom.
You’re just a person who can’t do me one thing.
You say I️ make up...
Lack of support.

I️ haven’t changed.
You just don’t know me.

Anxiety
She creeps up on you.
Gets into your mind.
Speaks to you like a long lost friend.
Drags you down like an enemy.
She doesn’t want the best for you,
Just finds pleasure in your misery.
You can’t help but be controlled by her.
She has you think about every single thing you did wrong.
She deprived you of sleep.
Tells you there’s no one that wants to be your friend.
She laughs when you believe her.
When you distance yourself
She pats you on the back
And says good job.
But she’s just laughing at you.
Till you...
Gets into your mind.
Speaks to you like a long lost friend.
Drags you down like an enemy.
She doesn’t want the best for you,
Just finds pleasure in your misery.
You can’t help but be controlled by her.
She has you think about every single thing you did wrong.
She deprived you of sleep.
Tells you there’s no one that wants to be your friend.
She laughs when you believe her.
When you distance yourself
She pats you on the back
And says good job.
But she’s just laughing at you.
Till you...

Seperate Entities
I've learned to cope with depression.
I still live as if it doesn't exist
but if you got a problem with it,
and your not willing to understand it
than you shouldn't even talk to me.
I hit bumps in the road
just like anybody else.
Depression doesn't define me,
doesn't make me who I am.
It's just a struggle,
not my identity.
I always come out the other side.
Haven't needed pills in so long.
I'm doing just fine
coping on my own.
Therapy once a week
and a support system to back me.
I don't need you to feel...

Lonely walks
It's when you're walking alone,
music in your ears,
the world passing you by
is when you feel it.
The emotions you've been hiding,
the ones you don't let yourself feel.
In this moment you crack.
You want to make a phone call
but you don't believe anyone cares.
You do what you do best,
put a smile on,
and say you're good.
Everyone believes you.
Deep down you just know you're a great actor.
Deep down you know people love you.
Love is just hard to accept
even though you want it.
You just don't know how to...

Best Friends Till the Day we Die
No matter what I do
It's not good enough for anyone
especially for you.
I'm doing my best
trying to keep this alive
but I just can't do it anymore.
Best friends till the day we die
guess we died.
You want to leave
I'm not going to stop you.
You want to to say I don't support you?
Guess I don't
Guess I gave up.
Why have I stayed this long?
I hate you
I don't care if you died.
It's not good enough for anyone
especially for you.
I'm doing my best
trying to keep this alive
but I just can't do it anymore.
Best friends till the day we die
guess we died.
You want to leave
I'm not going to stop you.
You want to to say I don't support you?
Guess I don't
Guess I gave up.
Why have I stayed this long?
I hate you
I don't care if you died.

Stuck On You
I can't help but think of you.
I can't help but dream of you.
I can't help chocking on tears
that are about you.
I should be over you,
but I'm still stuck on you.
Stop haunting my dreams, will you?
I can't help how I feel about you.
I love you,
I hate you,
All I want is you,
But she's with you.
I can't change you.
I'm dying because of you,
but that doesn't bother you.
I don't understand how could you?
Up and left like I didn't need you,
Pretended like I didn't care about you,
that this whole year...
I can't help but dream of you.
I can't help chocking on tears
that are about you.
I should be over you,
but I'm still stuck on you.
Stop haunting my dreams, will you?
I can't help how I feel about you.
I love you,
I hate you,
All I want is you,
But she's with you.
I can't change you.
I'm dying because of you,
but that doesn't bother you.
I don't understand how could you?
Up and left like I didn't need you,
Pretended like I didn't care about you,

Still Thinking of You
I still think about you
and everything we once were.
I still miss you
and how we use to be.
I still cry over you,
over us.
I think you broke me.
It's been six months
and I wonder if you think about me,
or miss me.
I hate you for leaving me
especially when I needed you.
I hate myself for the way I cope,
always onto the next guy.
They aren't you though.
I'm afraid to love again.
I've been acting cold hearted,
like I have it all together.
I've been trying to get over you,
but I have yet to...
and everything we once were.
I still miss you
and how we use to be.
I still cry over you,
over us.

Let you down
I guess I’m a disappointment
Cause I cant do anything right.
You lecture me,
Tell me how to live my life.
I know you mean well
But what you want for me
I dont want for myself.
But here we are
Face to face
And I’m trying to figure out
How do i tell you
Who i really am.
How do i make you understand.
Six years in colleges
And still haven’t graduated.
Yeah I’m still moving forward.
But you’re down my throat.

Roses
Packed room
Music on repeat.
lights on

Questions,
Rapid fire.
Better answer correctly.
You want this badly.
Not sure why though.
Think this will help
Maybe I’ll make friends.
That’s what mom would want.
To be happy.
But not sure about this.
Probably would of
Said I was crazy.
Boyfriend doesn’t approve.
Roses are red
Here take it.
Be a part of us.
Six weeks
Six weeks of hell.
Every moment,

My Life
I use to please everyone
Put their happiness above mine.
Be the glue of the group
And hold everyone together.
Being that person though
It’s draining.
You feel stuck.
Feel like you can’t let them down.
But the truth is,
I was letting myself down.
I go above and beyond
For the people I love.
That’s who I am.
But I forget about me in the process.
Trust the process.
That’s what they said.
How can I trust a process
That is chocking me
Cause me stress.
Hormones out of whack ...

Lately
Laying in the darkness
Don’t know what time it is.
These thoughts
They got me thinking.
I want to cry
But nothing has happened.
It’s nothing
The feeling
How can i describe it
Besides empty and chaotic.
Images flash through my mind.
Man I’m such a screw up.
No!
I’m great.
I’m just in conflict.
I’m just empty.
Can’t let this stop me
I’m going to make it
So many people rooting against me.
Laying in the darkness
Don’t know what time it is.
But I’m thinking of quitting. ...
