Reflection
It's been 10 years since I last set pen to paper. 10 years of reflection, 10 years of change. 10 years since the last time I truly felt I understood who I am.
Who is this face that stares back at me in the mirror?
A warrior.
A survivor.
A mother.
An artist.
A metaphor.
What once was a life I was so sure of, now sits in a state of limbo.
Frozen in time, a pause.
The questioning fills my soul, debating each moment longer than the last.
Who I am, who I was.. no longer.
I am here. Unaware of those long forgotten, yet eternally changed by the...

Waiting
Loving you this way hurts
a pain I cannot endure
Encaged in a fantasy
something Bonnie and Clyde
A ride or die situation
blasted into oblivion
Seems you're always running
always the other way
The time you've been dealt
is time we both pay
Waiting for the end
as we reside in the pain
Attempting to understand it all
as if it could make sense
To much time has passed
with more yet to come
Years will slip away
and I'll still be waiting
a pain I cannot endure
Encaged in a fantasy
something Bonnie and Clyde
A ride or die situation
blasted into oblivion
Seems you're always running
always the other way
The time you've been dealt
is time we both pay
Waiting for the end
as we reside in the pain
Attempting to understand it all
as if it could make sense
To much time has passed
with more yet to come
Years will slip away
and I'll still be waiting

Down with the Bottle
what do we have left after this sick game?
we know so well, it's all we play
drowning the misery with each breath
slicing the pain away
one more swig, bliss
the numbness begins again
what will be left of us
once the bottles are all gone
and empty reminder of what we are
broken, damaged, done
fading within every word,
slurring thoughts together
life flies by, washed down the drain
it's not like we'll remember anyways
so take my hand my dear,
we're dying as it is
it's time to take the pain away
down with the bottle we live
we know so well, it's all we play
drowning the misery with each breath
slicing the pain away
one more swig, bliss
the numbness begins again
what will be left of us
once the bottles are all gone
and empty reminder of what we are
broken, damaged, done
fading within every word,
slurring thoughts together
life flies by, washed down the drain
it's not like we'll remember anyways
so take my hand my dear,
we're dying as it is
it's time to take the pain away
down with the bottle we live

For my Joker <3
Those eyes...
Melting in the sea of tragedy
lost inside the insanity of the sane
Mending the heart of the broken
stitches and staples; resurrecting the whole
That smile...
A single weakness to befall a forgotten
shunning the choices to be made
Recalling the damage once left
returning the feeling again
The voice...
Surrendering all numbness
recovering the emotions, shattered
Replacing the demons internally
crawling out of the void
This heart...
Ages ago faded and cracked
longs for the control of peace
Saved...

Surrendering all numbness
recovering the emotions, shattered
Replacing the demons internally

This heart...
Ages ago faded and cracked

Oblivious...
Am I trying to hard?
or just not hard enough?
You don't even seem to notice
Friends?
or more?
Flirtationship that's going nowhere
Think I'm reading this wrong
Fuck it, I can't tell
You're completely oblivious.

Gaea
The one best friend
I've ever had
Now it's time to let go
No longer the comfort of her touch
No softness at my feet.
She was the one,
Who years ago
Brought me out of my shell.
One part bitch,
The rest a baby
We bonded instantly.
I'll never forget
Your deep green eyes
Or the way youd cry at me
Just know this please,
You'll always be in my heart
Baby girl, I love you
I've ever had
Now it's time to let go
No longer the comfort of her touch
No softness at my feet.
She was the one,
Who years ago
Brought me out of my shell.
One part bitch,
The rest a baby
We bonded instantly.
I'll never forget
Your deep green eyes
Or the way youd cry at me
Just know this please,
You'll always be in my heart
Baby girl, I love you

You
Why do you do this to me?
I can't even control myself
Saying things I wouldn't EVER
And yet I have no filter
I'm smiling like an idiot
Grinning ear to ear
And my face is flushing red
It's just the things you say
You're such a Mr. Cool
Proud of what you're doing
As I'm acting like a fool
It's like you can see through me
A truth I'm scared to know
You're driving me completely crazy
I'm longing to hear that laugh
And not feel so invisible
Like I'm 12 again
You're stuck on my mind
As if an old school...
I can't even control myself
Saying things I wouldn't EVER
And yet I have no filter
I'm smiling like an idiot
Grinning ear to ear
And my face is flushing red
It's just the things you say
You're such a Mr. Cool
Proud of what you're doing
As I'm acting like a fool
It's like you can see through me

You're driving me completely crazy
I'm longing to hear that laugh

f**k The Institution
So they say I'm insane
Talking to the walls
When the voices reply
They say that I'm crazy
Listening to thoughts
As they say "Do it"
They want to put me away
Saying I'm a jumper
Prone to suicide
And I say
FUCK THE INSTITUTION
FUCK BEING LOCKED AWAY
FUCK THE PRESSURE
IM NOT FUCKING PERFECT
FUCK YOU!
Talking to the walls

Saying I'm a jumper
Prone to suicide

FUCK BEING LOCKED AWAY
FUCK THE PRESSURE
IM NOT FUCKING PERFECT
FUCK YOU!

Why Me?
So I'm stuck here again. Caught in the middle of an emotional trainwreck. I can't even tell what my mind is saying anymore. Torn between a past I loved, and a future of uncertainty. Not wanting to let go of what was, hating what is, and terrified of what will be. It seems like everyone that mattered, doesn't care if I'm alive or if I've dropped dead. Lovely. Sometimes I wonder if this life of mine is worth all of the pain and heartache. When I can't even figure out if the past is coming back to haunt me, or if the interest is true. I'm probably just imagining it. Just as I did back then. That...
