Poet Introduction
Do I exist? That is hard to say, When nobody looks your way.
New Me
I just assume, I just assume.
That you've replaced me,
That's the only way I can see it.
I just assume, make myself a fool.
That's I'm not needed to stick around,
This feeling has got me down.
Am I tool? I just assume.
You've gone and moved on,
With that thought I can't be strong.
I just assume, I just assume.
I can't help myself from guessing,
How you view this new "blessing".
I just assume, hide myself from view.
That you don't need me, you don't love me,
That's the only way I see it.
Am I a...

Dead Be
I'm sitting on the sidelines
Wanting to guide your eyes
Straight to me, so you will see
But I'm not here for you, for me
Sure let's talk as we pass by
Throw me around and leave with "hi"
Carry on a conversation behind my back
Get out of the way of my path
I see how it is now
There's sparks flying for her, how?
It wasn't supposed to be like this
Love was meant to bring bliss
But what is this tightening heart?
I thought I'd already been broken from the start
It seems that wasn't the case
Have I lost face?...
Wanting to guide your eyes

There's sparks flying for her, how?
It wasn't supposed to be like this

But what is this tightening heart?

It seems that wasn't the case

December
All that's left is a girl,
With a smile to light the world,
and a face I can't remember.
There's snow, like it's December.
She mumbles words slowly,
As if the meaning is lowly.
Crystal clear words that sing,
In my heart they become king.
An awkward confession to
Join me like she'd like to.
How did I ever get to blessed,
that December in the past.
To hear my love mumble to
Me, "I love you."

To hear my love mumble to

We're Going to Hell
We all go to hell. We're all going to hell.
I'm writing this letter and wishing you well,
Mama, we all go to hell.
When we go don't blame us. We'll let the fires just bathe us.
These words have made us famous. We'll always crave this.
And when you go don't return to me my love.
We all go to hell. We're all going to hell.
It's really quite pleasant, except for the smell.
Mama, we all go to hell.
Well Mother, what the war did to my legs and to my tongue,
If you could coddle the infection. They can amputate at once.
You should've been, I...

Tonight
I won't let you lower yourself because of me.
Light up the sky, be all you can be.
I'm not worth it!
I'm less than shit.
Please always protect your heart.
Don't let me break it apart.
Do not let me make you waver,
Keep steady on this path you favor.
Always chase after me,
Do not stop your steps for me.
I beg of you, you must understand,
I can't make my mind, I'm your biggest fan.
I don't want your life to become,
Complicated because of someone,
Like me.
Tonight I cannot fall asleep.
Light up the sky, be all you can be.
I'm not worth it!
I'm less than shit.
Please always protect your heart.
Don't let me break it apart.
Do not let me make you waver,
Keep steady on this path you favor.

Complicated because of someone,

Me Inside.
center]I am corrupted by the flawed emotions I have been taught to have.
To tear at my own wounds just as they begin to scab.
I apologize, to every soul I know, I'm sorry I was ever born.
There's words on my tongue, but I am tied, I want to say more.
Caved out by what I thought was right, maybe I should think for once.
Just for myself and no one else, but I myself am just a dunce.
I have been denied, and I know I have so many times forgotten.
Forgotten who I was and anyone I could ever be. I feel so rotten.
Because this once, this once you've asked...

Zen.
There's a monster in my skin, and he tells me I shouldn't care. But I do.
I'm stuck inside this horrid room again, there's nothing but the drapes on the walls.
I'm trapped within, and I've forgotten how to be scared. It's been too long, I tell you.
I count the moments, they only add up to ten, before I scream and my little cage falls.
I'm in the depths once more, I shouldn't worry it always tells me. How can I not?
I'm alone with nothing but the blue that tells me there's no oxygen in here.
Tally marks on the walls, telling me it's keeping score. My heart's been...

Everything. Me. Strings.
I sit inside this awful room, crumbling walls, deranging calls. Your slimy words crawl under my cracking skin, lighting a fire, the loss of desire. I'm fighting this bountyless battle, called to war, bottom sore. I know I cannot win, this is evident, there is no lenience.
You tell me that you love me, to your mouth those words must be poison. Yet I cannot believe, can you blame me though, you spit those words at me. But I am unable to say no to you, my master, the one pulling the strings. So for you, you vicious queen, I am the one that bleeds.
Rushing in my veins, there is nothing...

Night Time Dazes. Shackles and Cages.
I'm North of Not Here, just East of Nowhere. So where do I go now? I wonder aloud. This world isn't mine, I've got no where to shine. Frankly, I shouldn't be here. This place simply isn't for me. Depths of deep abyss make me want to shout, isn't this what life's about? Falling until you cannot see, grabbing at walls that do not bleed. I feel like this is a place that cannot be called home, filled with songs and mindless drones.
This place isn't for me, I'm too free. I can't walk straight or cut tight corners, I can't follow rules, as much as I wish I could. I can't breathe I find, this...

Belonging to the Stars. It isn't Ours.
Falling under a planet's ring, this isn't the last thing.
A bond a fragile place, strong in nothing but the face.
Reach the bottom and call to me, you won't be safe bee.
The world isn't ending like I wished, Sweet as death's kiss.
Gentle as a fluid sweep, crashing down the trees with a weep.
I don't know where I am though, these words are just for show.
I can't find you, and I know you can't find me too.
Let us sit here in companioned silence, the peace to find balance.
You waste away next to me, not knowing we sit here blindly.
We aren't...

I Don't Care. We Do It Everyday.
Feet tripping on plants, hands touching, leave as they fall from thriving trees and there's nothing left. Arms stretched out feeling the warmth of dying stars. Mercy has not found us. Grace has left us, and we're left to trip over planets as we fall into a black disarray.
Soaking up the sun under the depth of the ocean. The fish gobble up our breath, the insanity that leaks off us. Turn it on, let it sit, let it suffer, learn to give a shit. We beat blindly at the walls of a place without a cage. "Where are your fist landing?" I want to ask but words escape me.
I'm...

Isn't. Joy. Destroy.
I can't even see the end anymore.
There's no candy. There's no store.
I'm so lost and I can't find my feet.
But this isn't about my defeat.
This is about the torn up wings.
Days spent dwelling on unspoken things.
Another new gruesome tattoo.
World a series of grey hue.
The lifetime of regret, collapsing.
A thousand wild hands grasping.
Stuck inside an outside world.
A billion stars lit and twirled.
I've seen the way they look at you.
I've felt the way you think you do.
In this life there isn't much joy.
But it's still...
