pastel pink
We mute ourselves
and get
lazy
because
we stopped trying
to find
new ways
to color the
walls

Skin
Always leaning towards
a suicidal tendency,
it’s really killing me,
the paranoia that
everyone wants
to see me six feet deep
is really fucking getting to me.
Why can’t we shed our skin?
The upper epidermis.
Surface level flesh.
The flaky bits
of worrisome shit,
I got to let it go.
Get rid of it.
Nobody knows the mud
better than I did.
I lived in it, I lived in shit.
Swallowing pounds,
or gallons,
or yards
choose the measurement.
Who gives a shit.
I swallowed all...

Sheep
They walk together,
like sheep
or
like wolves,
these
faceless people
with their
cloven hooves.
Nobody knows
who anyone is,
nobody knows,
our eyes are
blind
with so much
black wool.
Repeating the same
mistakes
our fathers made.
Same mistakes,
and we lay
the same
exact blame.
Name-calling
games turn into
years of burning hate,
and we stand
together
As we secretly dance
aflame.
Nobody knows why,
I guess
no one ...

Painting.
Where were the colors,
when we needed
them most?
Where was the truth
when we were
bullshitting
ourselves?
Off in a painted world
of
positivity,
somewhere I’ve
never been.
Somewhere I’ve
looked in,
from the outside,
but couldn’t see.
Somewhere I’ve been
fucking
dreaming
of being.
Holy shit,
I’ve been
fast asleep
ever since,
and I need to wake up,
Painting pictures
of
empty cups.

Strawberries
Waste words
on shadows.
Hear the echoes
of whispers
on the wind.
Say it louder,
with your chest,
say what you know
needs to be said.
Let the world
in all it’s light
see you for all the colors
you hold within.
Pink is pretty
and that’s just fine
to want that
a little bit.

Hatchet
No
we don't
want to build
a bridge.
We want to get
over it.
Climbing obstacles
is all that
growing is.
Becoming an adult
means living with
the shit we hate.
Stuff it down
deep
in the
holes
we dig.
With closed fists.
With closed fists
we will get over this.
Bury it
six feet down
forget all of it
Bury the bones
bury the witness.
Bury the bones.
Bury it all.
We are all victims.
Bury the bones.
Fill the hole.
Bury the hatchet....

this isn't you
Keep looking for the
horizon line,
I know it’s hard to
focus your sight on when you’re
under the pressure of
laughing it all off
just one more time,
but it’s gonna get
so much easier
to laugh things off
When you sell
all your property
and get the fuck out
And your circle closes
and it’s just a single line
Devised to guide ya
down the road at night,
no textbook to lead you,
just your gut telling ya
what feels right
When you’ve lost it all
is when you’re finally set free ...

Lightning
Drifting away
from the early days.
I'm drifting away
from those
same old pains
Those old aches
and pains
that don't go away
Embroidered into your fucking bones,
in a way
Because everything matters
and
everyone would rather
Look back to the old way
of dealing
with things
And thats not okay
with me.
Thats just
swallowing pain
That doesn't
go away
It just boils inside
like
hot lightning
And God save
the person who causes
the next
bad...
from the early days.
