I Can't Be Real
I cannot be real.
Unspent years passing by
Living inside of my own mind
I've spent more time in a trance
Then I have in the dance
With life, I can't seem to remember
All 26 September's
That have passed right on by
While I was flying alone in my mind
My memories are all gone
And the ones I remember are wrong
My existence has gone,
probably lost somewhere in a yawn
I don't think I'm real
Because there's a lot i no longer feel
I don't think I can exist
when it feels like My soul is adrift
I cannot be...

My Broken Half
I want peace
I want to have good dreams when I sleep
I want to go outside
and be able to just breathe
I want these feelings to die
I wish they had never arised
It doesn't matter how hard I try
they'll always take over my life
I can't stand the fear
I can't stand the tears
I wish my head would just clear
I stand in the chaos of my own mind
Sadly I can't say that I'm fine
But I smile and laugh
I'm ashamed but hiding it has become a craft
Ill never be able to show my broken half.

When Time Makes You Forget
Her warm kind eyes have turned cold and empty
shes devoid of sanity when there used to be plenty
Her mind a shell of its former glory
She cant even remember her own story
Her voice calls me a name that I do not own
She's in a constant state of unknown
Her brain lives stuck in the past
She's losing herself fast
Her mind nothing but a jumble
She speaks in muddy mumbles
Her eyes don't recognize my face
She's not at home at her own place
Her lucid moments are the best
She doesn't know how many are left.
She...
shes devoid of sanity when there used to be plenty

She's in a constant state of unknown
Her brain lives stuck in the past
She's losing herself fast
Her mind nothing but a jumble
She speaks in muddy mumbles
Her eyes don't recognize my face
She's not at home at her own place
Her lucid moments are the best
She doesn't know how many are left.

Pet Peeve
The windows all down
The mirrors thumping from the radio’s sound
Wind is flowing throughout my hair
I take a breath of fresh air
I think to myself “a cigarette would be nice”
With one hand I grab my vice
And then I search for a light
I see it sitting towards my right
I put a square in my lips
And thrust my fingertips
A spark comes flying, but to no avail
My lighter has failed
I flick and flick
Hoping maybe something will click
Desperate for a flame
Every god I name
I go look...
The mirrors thumping from the radio’s sound
Wind is flowing throughout my hair
I take a breath of fresh air
I think to myself “a cigarette would be nice”
With one hand I grab my vice
And then I search for a light
I see it sitting towards my right
I put a square in my lips
And thrust my fingertips
A spark comes flying, but to no avail
My lighter has failed
I flick and flick
Hoping maybe something will click
Desperate for a flame
Every god I name
I go look...

When
I live in a world of grey
What else can I say?
When I look into my own eyes
A part of me dies
I'm living a lie
Because I am dying inside
Waiting for another fix
Waiting for another hit
Waiting for someone to save me from this
At my lowest when I am the highest
Asking myself, "Why did I even try this?"
It staves off the emptiness
It helps the edginess
It helps fill the hole
That's in my soul
That's growing out if control
Just like a staircase I'm spiraling
And just like that I'm dialing ...

DARK POEM

Her Favorite Color Was Blue
Her favorite color was blue
She was surrounded by its hue
on her eyes you could see her internal feud
talking about it was something she could not do
Veronica, just like the flower, was her name
She never felt quite the same
after being engulfed in a blue flame
She says she only has herself to blame
Blue took over her life
You could see the weight of its strife
how it cut its way into her spirit like a knife
how its destructive force ran rife
She went crazy from her fears
She could fill an ocean...
