No!
Not Again!
I need sleep, sleep, SLEEP!
Through slivers I see the hideous yellow.
Through shivers, I feel the cold hard floor.
*Beep Beep Beep Beep*
No!
Not Again!
I crave rest, rest, REST!
Through nauseating gurgles, I smell the roast beans
Through the antagonizing one-way glass, I see the dead reflection
*Beep Beep Beep Beep*

I woke up bright and early to the sun shining bright,
Adjusted my eyes to the harsh morning light.
It didn’t seem odd that I could suddenly see,
Nor was it strange that you were smiling at me.
We hopped into the old Mustang GT,
Took off down south Central with Seether blaring on repeat.
Probably The Gift, yes, that was our song,
I laughed so hard when you tried to sing along.
We drove for m...
Inside me are wounds, wrapped up by scars. Beauty’s skin deep, but my insides rage war. Please forgive me, for eating your blues. Even though the words I scream in hate, are true. You’re so pretty when I cry. But I don’t think you realize. There is no depth left in my soul. I needed your love to make me whole. I wear my heart upon my lips. Kiss me hard, taste my sick.

I’m falling
I start bawling.
I hit the ground
As my head feels a big pound.
Waking up with a jolt
I get up and lock the deadbolt.

There he stands, dressed as a clown.
He grabs me roughly
And whisper’s gruffly,
“You’re still not awake?”
As I just shake....
Wake up
Start the day
Dress up
And pray
Go to school
Messy hair up
Not trying to look cool
No make up
Me and my friends laugh
But then I'm alone in almost every class
Confused and bored in dreaded math
That one kid being an a**
ELA goes by quick
And to band I rush
You're hair is so nice and slick
I can't help but blush
After fun band
You ask me to the dance
You hold my hand
And we stand in a...
in the labyrinth of time
in the realms of wonderment
the seconds' flow
as i travel on
enchanted place
infinity captures me
i’m locked in time
in this elusive space
radiant peace
my place of happiness
freedom from pain
in my special place
in wonderland, where
all things are possible
impossibilities
go through my mind
happy here
in my own reality
awakening
to the pain i find
is there anybody
