POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Denial
Denial is the hardest pill to swallow
Do you follow?
Full of ourselves
But inside
We're hollow
Digging the hole deeper
How are we to get out
When the sides only get steeper
Common affliction
Choke down denial
Pretending its fiction
Starting to heat up
Do you feel the friction?
How did it start?
Where does this end?
Broken hearts
Need to mend
Do you follow?
Full of ourselves
But inside
We're hollow
Digging the hole deeper
How are we to get out
When the sides only get steeper
Common affliction
Choke down denial
Pretending its fiction
Starting to heat up
Do you feel the friction?
How did it start?
Where does this end?
Broken hearts
Need to mend

Cut me loose
Breaking rules with no excuse
Caught in a web, please cut me loose
I'm a bomb, you lit my fuse
I'll explode, nothing to lose
Add some booze, expand the flames
So fucking done with all your games
Ignorant and inconsiderate
Safe to say I'm sick of it
Can't keep up with your bullshit
So I'll just take another hit
Your cause had an effect
So immature, you lost my respect
Look in a mirror, try to reflect
Don't wanna hold a grudge
I have no right to judge
Just hope you learn
Wanna put out the fire
But I'm watching...

Illusions
Where do we go, go from here?
Searching for the right atmosphere
I just wish things were crystal clear
But things aren't as they appear
Can't seem to grasp
The need to let go
Going in circles
Getting vertigo
The source of all the woe
I am quite aware
But will I ever know?
That I learn too slow
That I think too fast
That I'm just....
Fixated on the past
And when I realize its a waste
So much time has passed...
I've been harassed
By myself
And I
Am by myself...

You can't handle the truth
You treat your opinions like fact
But as a matter of fact
The truth is something you lacked
And when you get smacked
With reality, you react
Like its brutality
Now tell me
What's wrong with that mentality?

You got me good
I don't know where
And I don't know when
But I swear
I will be happy
Again
I just don't know
You got me good
And you got me still
But this time
Its against my will
I'm just going through
All the motions
I'm just getting more
Lost in the ocean
But the water is so deep
How many secrets can you keep?
I don't know where
And I don't know when
But I swear
I will be happy
Once again
You got me good
Oh, you got me good
Always knew you could
Never thought
Never thought
I never thought you would...
And I don't know when
But I swear
I will be happy
Again
I just don't know
You got me good
And you got me still
But this time
Its against my will
I'm just going through
All the motions
I'm just getting more
Lost in the ocean
But the water is so deep
How many secrets can you keep?
I don't know where
And I don't know when
But I swear
I will be happy
Once again
You got me good
Oh, you got me good
Always knew you could
Never thought
Never thought
I never thought you would...
