My Lighter Grew Legs
My lighter grew legs
It's no where in sight
I put it right here
I did, last night!
I wasn't drunk
I remember it clearly
and I need it now
I need it so dearly.
I looked on the counter
I looked by the bowl
I looked under the couch
in the closet
ontop and inside the fridge
Just where would it go?
My lighter grew legs
It had to of so
Do you want to find out
how i know?
Look here in my pocket.
I didn't put it there.
I told you it grew legs.
It crawled right in there
I...

greedy and desprate
you can talk down upon me
you can cut me off
go ahead
whatever makes you feel superior
take all the love i give you
and keep taking
because you know i'll give it to you
and give none in return
take my sanity
take all my esteem
God knows you need it
take me for granted
take it all
just fucking take all of it!
and take everything else that you don't want me to have
just don't leave me..

the remote control
jumbled up confusion never lead me to the right words to say to you
you had me curled up
screaming
yet no voice was ever heard
worthless tears
that's all you ever saw
so i feel.
rewind
and replay
the worn down mute button is at its last push
eject
unfinished

satisfaction
The stomach that growls and aches from hunger
is an 11 year old boy who's parents abused.
walking in the cold and dark night
he cries but not aloud
weaker and weaker he gets
as he struggles along the edge of life.
as he falls to his bed
he holds tight to the doll his sister once had
no reports from a parent missing their child
just another satisfaction

uncool
Conversation makes me nervous.
I stayed in the clouds to long to recover.
So I'm beginning to believe at least.
Call me stupid
Call me arrogant
I'm the only one complaining.
I droppped out of High School me senior year.
So my life is a major fail.
I realized how shitty of a person I am when I took the honest look at myself.
I want to change.
I hate this bubble i formed around myself for "protection"
I wanna say I hate Life but only because I know Life hates me.
I'm trying to fix myself
I really am

mountain climb
as days go by and life seems more pontless
guilt and confusion becomes the only thing to worry about
shaky body
drowning eyes
sinking heart
fear and sadness of not knowing of whats to come
but knowing how you feel
how can love come to play when selfishness and unwillingness is all there is?
seems like it at least
a new life is offered
but unwilling to live it
the grass always seems greener on the other side

jus one of those days, you know?
to fix this mess seems nearly impossible.
its like i cant ever find the right words to say, to you, to anybody
and when i jus blurt out what i want to say, its rude and i look like an idiot
so, ive become a listener and not a speaker
its embarrasing not to do both, but it keeps me going
i guess
maybe im jus confused..
although ive been told im jus "slow"
...
my feelings get hurt easily, and i tend to get defensive instead of brushing it off my shoulders and laugh at it.
yet everyone says they see me as happy go lucky
i try to be at...

bottled up memories
back in september
i had these feelings
emotions
memories
that flooded my mind
i didnt understand them
nor why they were coming back
but they made me sad
to the point where i couldnt stop crying for hours
i told my boyfriend it was jus the pregnancy and i was ok
and that i jus needed some time to think to myself
he looked worried.
2 years ago i was in a different relationship
we got together on the month of september.
thats when things were good
and i was happy
the memories and emotions...

painful addiction
when you meet someone
who ends up making a deep impact in your life
its hard to forget them
more like impossible
through out the times youare with each other
you fall harder and harder inlove with them
with their silly looks
contagous* laugh
warming smile of sincerity*
kisses that make your senses go wild
next thing you know you in love
love that sticks by their side no matter what
you'll do anything for them
and hopefully wishing they'll do the same
relationships tend to get rocky at points
its rough
and to you its...

simpler than it may seem
mistake after mistake
breaks us down
bit by bit
unless you learn from your mistakes
it will bring you up
little by little
take the advice God has given you
stitch it on your heart
throw your heart over the rail
and follow it
life is too short to sit around wondering why your life is tearing you apart.
Just get up
dust yourself off
and make the change you know you need to make
the hardest part isnt making the decision
its living with it for the rest of your life

drowning in death
the thought of no longer being able to be held be you
made me drop to the floor on my knees
breathless
all i could do is shake my head and wish i could rip my heart out to no longer feel the pain
as tears began streaming down my face i let out the only word my mind was telling me
"NOOOOOOOO!"
wanting to rip my self apart i squeezed my hair in a tight fist and pulled
rocking back and forth
back and forth
in an ocean of tears
i scream for my love to come back
but you cant
cuz your gone
gone for good
leaving me to drown in...
