The beat take me back
to long car drives
on seemingly endless interstates
Traveling home
from a different state
feeling connected by an invisable string
pulling me back to Vermont
and my hometown
staring out the window at night
watching the night grow longer
and the lights burn brighter
feeling the song rather than hearing it
a sense of the past
to easier times
without a worry in the world
when I was young and carefree
along with my family
pillows and blankets
the lyrics make me feel suspended in time ...

Bad Days
Today is a bad day
Not your definition
But mine
My type of bad day
involves worrying,
anxiety, and depression
A constant state of
"I can't do this" and
"I'm just done"
The never ending
Thought of
"I'm not good enough"
My type of bad day
involves my brain thinking
"I'm going to fail at life"
"I can't do anything right"
"No one can know how bad I feel because then they will assume I just want attention"
"Just smile, no one cares about your emotions, no one even talks to you. It's not...

What Happens In My Mind-Rewritten
I figure myself out
Through rhymes and verse
Often times feeling
Like it's a big curse
Expressing myself so plainly
With perfect sense to me
Realizing after that no one
Can see exactly what I see
So here I go again
Trying to write my mind
Hoping you will decipher
The meaning I left behind
Is a poet a poet
If the world doesn't understand
The words I string together
With my broken and bruised hands
Through rhymes and verse
Often times feeling
Like it's a big curse
Expressing myself so plainly
With perfect sense to me
Realizing after that no one
Can see exactly what I see
So here I go again
Trying to write my mind
Hoping you will decipher
The meaning I left behind
Is a poet a poet
If the world doesn't understand
The words I string together
With my broken and bruised hands

The Pain Of Seeing You Cry
Nothing hurts me more in this world
Than seeing my big sis cry
I wish I could take away your pain
All I can do is comfort you the best I can
But I know I'm not good at it
I wish I could help more
You are everything to me
You have always been by my side
Always so strong and confident
I look up to you
So when I see you cry
and know there isn't much I can do to help
It hurts
I can't change why you are sad
But I want you to know just how much I love you
Out of all the people in this world
You are...
Than seeing my big sis cry
I wish I could take away your pain
All I can do is comfort you the best I can
But I know I'm not good at it
I wish I could help more
You are everything to me
You have always been by my side
Always so strong and confident
I look up to you
So when I see you cry
and know there isn't much I can do to help
It hurts
I can't change why you are sad
But I want you to know just how much I love you
Out of all the people in this world
You are...

Right here
Right now
I'm fine
No, really
I am
I know
It's odd
I've been so stressed and tired and unhappy lately
But all of a sudden
I feel like everything is ok
Right now
I'm fine
No, really
I am
I know
It's odd
I've been so stressed and tired and unhappy lately
But all of a sudden
I feel like everything is ok

Ranting...
I hate
when I have
work I need
to get done
but my mind
can't seem
to do it
I'm so stressed
and angry
and frustrated
that I can't
finish my work
I end up
procrastinating
and hating myself
for it
I try so hard
to stay focused
but nothing works
and I can't sleep
I just want to cry
or punch something
or scream
when I have
work I need
to get done
but my mind
can't seem
to do it
I'm so stressed
and angry
and frustrated
that I can't
finish my work
I end up
procrastinating
and hating myself
for it
I try so hard
to stay focused
but nothing works
and I can't sleep
I just want to cry
or punch something

Long Night Drives
There is a certain feeling
that accompanies long night drives
a feeling I can't quite describe
everything seems less real
like I'm a million miles away
all the lights seem distant
as if darkness itself
has changed our very existence
a feeling of tranquility
calm in a way
that feels primal
like this is how life should be
a feeling of wondering endlessly
in search of nothing
mentally on a different plane
just staring into the night
that accompanies long night drives
a feeling I can't quite describe
everything seems less real
like I'm a million miles away
all the lights seem distant
as if darkness itself
has changed our very existence
a feeling of tranquility
calm in a way
that feels primal
like this is how life should be
a feeling of wondering endlessly
in search of nothing
mentally on a different plane
just staring into the night

Moving On
I was chasing you
trying to talk to you
trying to find the right words to say
but you wouldn't stop
you didn't give me a chance to talk
you just kept running away
I couldn't keep up
I had to stop
and when I did
I realized
Even if I caught up
you wouldn't listen
.....
This was the third time
that i've had this dream
I think my mind is trying to tell me
to move on
it doesn't matter what I want to tell you
no words can fix what happened to us
I subconsciously want
that one last...

Restaurants
Stuck in a room
Surrounded by chaos
Forced to be civil
Though I'm losing my mind
It's very loud
I'm trying to stay calm
People all around
Thoughts stressing me out
Involuntary shaking
Head hurting
Losing my mind
Trying to stay calm
Forcing myself to breathe
Surrounded by chaos
Forced to be civil
Though I'm losing my mind
It's very loud
I'm trying to stay calm
People all around
Thoughts stressing me out
Involuntary shaking
Head hurting
Losing my mind
Trying to stay calm
Forcing myself to breathe

Yes I Know
Yes I know
I take on more than I can handle
Yes I know
I stress myself out
Yes I know
I complain about what I get myself into
Yes I know
I give myself stress headaches
Yes I know
I get angry when I have too much to do
Yes I know
This is all my own fault
Have you ever stopped to consider
I do this to myself for a reason
I'd rather get headaches
and complain
and be angry
and be stressing over so many things
than let my anxiety and depression take over
I take on more than I can handle
Yes I know
I stress myself out
Yes I know
I complain about what I get myself into
Yes I know
I give myself stress headaches
Yes I know
I get angry when I have too much to do
Yes I know
This is all my own fault
Have you ever stopped to consider
I do this to myself for a reason
I'd rather get headaches
and complain
and be angry
and be stressing over so many things
than let my anxiety and depression take over

Rain Is Not Bad
I hate that people associate
rainy days with being bad
I quite enjoy them
especially this one
I'm happy
and the rain makes it better
It's just water
I don't get what's so terrible about it
Maybe its a minor inconvenience
but its not that bad
Or maybe i'm just crazy
because I love the feel of rain
rainy days with being bad
I quite enjoy them
especially this one
I'm happy
and the rain makes it better
It's just water
I don't get what's so terrible about it
Maybe its a minor inconvenience
but its not that bad
Or maybe i'm just crazy
because I love the feel of rain

Untitled 10/4/19
I feel like I have to shout
to get anyone to listen
All my words feel powerless
yet I know what I wield
If only people would listen
I'm sure I could make a difference
I feel so muted
Like i'm irrelevent
But I'm smarter than that
I won't be silenced
This world doesn't know me
But they will in time
When I set my mind on something
I always follow through
to get anyone to listen
All my words feel powerless
yet I know what I wield
If only people would listen
I'm sure I could make a difference
I feel so muted
Like i'm irrelevent
But I'm smarter than that
I won't be silenced
This world doesn't know me
But they will in time
When I set my mind on something
I always follow through
