I'll be honest
I don't know my full purpose
why I'm here
as fractured as a cracked egg
held together only by the tissues inside
but that's life...isn't it
an enigma tattooed in damage & stigmas
steps sometimes faltering
...others defiant
I don't know what tomorrow holds in its fist
only that it won't offer me an early glimpse
so I fumble...stumble...trundle along
one foot after the other
picking myself up when I'm beaten down
& limp off to try again
no...I don't know why I'm here
what I'm put on this...

keeping Self in check
one of the most difficult...
...& most valuable...
lessons I've had to learn in healing
is not letting my own wounds
become someone else's damage
turning the sharp edge of my pain
...away
because emotional injury...
...is something we cannot undo
& apologies don't mend the ache
the scar will always remain
just as mine exist
so too will theirs
& what if...
mine was one strike too many...

energy better invested elsewhere should be...
I wanted it
badly enough
I was willing to fight for it
I let it go
how can battle hold
what love could not
& throwing myself
relentlessly
against the cliffs of desperation
gains me nothing
what does not come willing
never comes at all
I wanted it
badly
so I let it go
badly enough
I was willing to fight for it
I let it go
how can battle hold
what love could not
& throwing myself
relentlessly
against the cliffs of desperation
gains me nothing
what does not come willing
never comes at all
I wanted it
badly
so I let it go

it's not my fault you're flammable
He says he loves me
like I'm awe inspiring
and some days the way
he looks at me
makes me want to punch myself
because I don't know how to accept
that level of adoration
and I'm sure I don't deserve it
I'm the instigator of all fights
I have a fire inside me that
once it's done burning me
it will light up anyone
unlucky enough to stand too close
maybe that's what it means
to be unlucky in love
not to be without love
but to love something that burns
Some days I wonder
if I...

if I can just hold the thought...
my mind has a nasty habit
hassling me
backing me into a corner
taunting
that one small word
guaranteed to see me spiral
...why...
as if there ever was an honest answer
can't be...you know
it's too subjective...ever changing
meant to drive me crazy
right now though...
...I'm not having it
flipping the tables
maybe it isn't that I was too much
...but they weren't enough
couldn't match my incredible frequency
maybe it isn't that I was too little ...

Writing scares me.
Writing scares me.
It gives me shivers,
Typing, thinking of what to say.
Trying to that aching feeling in my chest,
To say it in a way that means something.
Meaning more than a first draft,
As much as something's weight in blood,
Worth more than sweat and tears.
A photographic capture,
A possession of myself,
Working to fulfill this
Outpour of a blurb.
Typed and read,
Submitted and forgotten.
Writing scares me,
Because what if I've gotten it all wrong.

My only wish
..
And if my life should end tomorrow
and I sink into dust and dirt,
My only wish is that you'd know
I never meant to make you hurt.
If I could make the time go backwards
If granting wishes was my skill,
I'd put together what has fractured
and we'd laugh together still.

Mouse in my attic
I have a mouse living in my attic
She crawled all night making static
Got someone who is a mice terminatic
He said “you have two lovers living in your attic”
Now that is definitely very problematic
Although he didn’t sound very dramatic
I also don’t want to be melodramatic
But they shouldn’t be living in my attic
“They should die” and I wasn’t very diplomatic
I’m also a guy who is not very romantic
No one should be living in my attic
Not love, nor anyone who is the least sympathetic

My Youth
I often wonder whether I am failing myself but then I remember the girl I once was the one who was always the third wheel who carefully planned out and calculated her words only to be talked over when she finally spoke the one who was bullied by her first grade teacher who hated her looks and despised her body
who stared blankly into space until her mind was elsewhere the one who was called useless after trying her best throwing kindness like confetti at people who couldn't care less what would be the look on her face if she found out that I am working at a summer camp as happy as could...

pause & breathe
sometimes I have to close my eyes
muffle my ears so I can't hear
there's just too much going on
behind the scenes
...of me
& external influences are more dangerous
too easy to fall in over my head
& I'll be honest...
I've never been a very good swimmer
sound overwhelms
battering my equilibrium
visions are too bright
like crawling out...exhausted
...after days in a cave
blinded
simply too much
it's a balance thing
as I fight to steady myself
the tightrope beneath my feet so...

The Thoughts that Followed
Remember me as I was
Not as I am.
For I know the man who lays in my bed,
No more than the boy who sung sweet melodies into the night wind.
How did this tangle spiral?
It is love,
I’m sure.
I loved you.
More than I should have.
So I buried the boy with the soft eyes,
But you looked for him.
So I tried to bury you too.
It was for your own good.
It was for my own good.
Remember me as I was, ...
