Regrets
I’ve been feeling extremely anxious lately,
I’m constantly wondering about others’ fates,
Non-stop comparing what happens to me vs you on specific dates,
I always think of all these inventions that I could create.
I don’t need to create anything, I’ve become bitter as a lime
I don’t need people to approve of me,
I shouldn’t worry about how many times my ears hear severe chimes.
They say it means someone is talking about you,
You must be awfully bored for me, Jesse Lee, to be the topic of which you speak.
I don’t notice you, but I do know what you...

Boyfriend material
I am not boyfriend material and I never was
-I spent twenty-two of the last twenty-four hours sleeping
-it's really hard for someone to stick with someone like me
Now, I get it! I GET IT! I am useless, I am hopeless, I have nothing to put into this relationship,
We're all just going to die alone, a large meteor will kill ME
-I would have been a pterodactyl if i had a choice
-I did always want to fly
Although, I only wanted to fly so it would be acceptable for me to jump off a building and plummet to my death
-Unfortunately no one would...

Paranoid
When my teachers asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up,
I answered "I want to be dead" and the class would laugh while I smiled.
They never took me seriously because I was just a child,
I was small, I seemed innocent, I have blue eyes.
My genes have nothing to do with my curse,
although, my doctors think it is family-related.
I feel rather paranoid in the sense that I don't really trust my doctors,
I trust that they know what they're talking about, I don't doubt their education.
You can't learn about something that has never existed before and...

Eleven
If you're not aware of the constant scare we face as laborers, I hope this poem brings awareness to an epidemic facing our society today.

Fury
Every now and then, I wish everyone would just DIE
-Leave me alone. GO! Drown in the ocean!
But, at the same time, I want to tell seven billion people to go fuck themselves so they have to be alive.
Now, this might seem angry, but this is depression I PROMISE YOU THAT!
The only job I've ever been able to hold for a full-time position isn't actually a career, society tells me.
-Sitting on my couch, trying to mold girls because I always thought I was doing them a favor
-Lying on the floor in the bathroom even though spiders live in the corners of my mind
-Standing in...

Relationships
I have always tried to figure out what's right in life
-Usually, I'm wrong
It might be seemingly natural for the man to be wrong
-Sexism is wrong
"WHY?" is a common question for me
-Why can't I fall in love
-Why can't I stay on track
-Why can't I love one girl who loves me back like they do in those blatantly racist cartoons
-Why is my love not like the water surrounding the salt in the ocean?
:holding on mercilessly through the storms
:crashing together on the beach
:lying underneath the stars every night, humbling...
