there’s nothing fresh about the air. outside, another news report. another found dead today, i heard.
i want to clean up my act. pick up my room, clean out my car, but i just hide and wait until my problems fix themselves.
this mentality is the reason things are this way. it’s the reason why they will stay the same. if you lead, i’ll follow you, i’m beginning to think that this is all i know.
i wish i cared about myself like i cared for those i love but i wish that everybody else cared less about themselves.
this mentality is the reason things are this way. it’s the reason why they will stay the same. if you lead, i’ll follow you. i’m beginning to think that nothing’s ever gonna change.
a few friends of friends have died, a few of my old friends have tried. the ones that are still alive want nothing more than suicide.
it’s harder to tell the difference now between a joke and a cry for help. deep down we want to feel alive without a broken heart.

After the Fact

you know me by the name that i used to go by. everything i said to you, it never was a lie. it just stopped being true, it only aged with time. when we graduated you and i stepped out of line.
i know you from the mask that you always used to wear. you look different today. why did you cut your hair; but the truth is no one cares the world is cold and unfair. for a second you feel like you got it all but it was never even there.
i know i am so unaware of all the things that you’ve been going through. i’ve been living lavish my whole life so i won’t act like i do. we got so sick of the bathroom floor. we don’t want your progress anymore. we don’t want to live a lie behind a locked door, we just want it to stop.
the lives we knew are over. it seems i’ve wasted all my time obsessing over all the thoughts that weren’t even mine. i guess now it’s time for me to try and stand up but every time i try to move i feel like i’m gonna throw up.

New New York

for once we agreed, “what we have is all we need. so let’s take our belongings and go move them somewhere else”. let's smooth out our map and played a game of darts. the if and when we leave depends on the if and when the engine starts. it’s hard, i know, but we can leave as soon as we go. i don’t want to wait or hesitate anymore.
so now here we are, the same city here so far. i was aiming for philadelphia but i guess new york will do. but everything costs more. my neck is stiff. my eyes are sore but who am i complaining? this is all i wanted and more. it’s hard, i know, but we can leave as soon as we go. i don’t want to wait or hesitate anymore.
i’m caught in routine and trapped in between where i was and where i wanna be. the sights i see out of the car window aren’t what i had hoped to see, but i know that i will get to where i am going sometime, someway, someday. until i run off with all these thoughts i’ll see you all in hell.
there’s no light in sight at the end of our tunnel. was our silver lining just torn fabrics bandaging our broken bones. well at least we are happy, you ask if you can speak for yourself. i guess the purpose we created defeated itself.
it’s hard, i know. we can leave as soon as we go. i don’t want to wait or hesitate anymore. (why do we wait anymore)
i’m caught in routine and trapped in between where i was and where i wanna be. the sights i see out of the car window aren’t what i wanted to see, but i'm hopeful that i will get to where i am going sometime, someway, someday. until i run off with all these thoughts i’ll see you all in hell.

missed all my classes the day before. it gets harder every time to roll onto the floor. i laid still and quiet. i examined your breathing. i was so scared you’d wake up if i ended up leaving. i know i overthink and i get so paranoid. it’s human, it happens. people just get annoyed. can someone just freeze the frame? i’m beginning to think that someone’s paying you to be here.
if it was just you and i left on the earth tonight. despite all common sense i think we’d be alright. if it was just you and i left on the earth tonight. despite all common sense i think we’d be alright. the pain comes and goes through the window as the wind blows. if the world ends or the sun burns out the stars in the sky still glow.
i know i act like i don’t give a shit. i agree, i’m just a hypocrite. i know you have your problems. i wanna help you solve them, but hey i got my problems too. they don’t exist when i’m next to you. i look at you when i don’t know what to do and i never really know what to do.
if it was just you and i left on the earth tonight. despite all common sense i think we’d be alright. the pain will come and go. through the window as the wind blows but if the world ends or the sun burns out the stars in the sky still glow. i can’t breath in here. i just want everyone else to disappear. i’m gonna jump out a window and take safe harbor in your car. i see you across the room. there’s a sea of people between me and you. i calm down a little bit found a couch to sit down on.

Every Good Reason

getting used to what i hate about myself but i’m terrified of the day where i am okay with who i am. i want to love myself but only if it’s for the very best of every good reason, the very best of every good reason why.
i quarantine myself in attempts to save my sanity because when i leave the house i end up manipulated by the moment. i am blinded by the dancers in rotation. i fold for no good reason, i fold for no good reason every night.
i toss, turn, and tremble until i find a way to sleep. with wires placed on to my head, i turn and see my mother weep. i stare at my fears; at a bright screen in the dark. as they try to find good reasons, they try to find good reasons.
i’m so sick of thinking the way i do. i’m worried this is how things are going to stay. if this is the way things have to be i’ll get used to it eventually, but these thoughts of mine aren’t leaving anytime soon.

i feel like trash in the morning as i get dressed. get up, make progress just to lay back down. i’m so tired and i’m feeling drained every night starts and ends the goddamn same. my memories are so boring it’s just me whatevering here and whatevering there. i don’t care but i want to. i don’t think i will anytime soon.
oooooooo00000OOOOOOoooooooo
i don’t wanna get out of my bed today but my family is pissed. i can’t act like i don’t hear the alarm or see the light creeping in right through the window. i don’t want to go to my only class.
isn’t that pathetic? i only got one job to do, i’m not gonna do it. it’s not worth the time i’m gonna spend lamenting on an OK day this week but i swore to myself i would finish what i’m told to do. my brain is compliant. my heart is defiant. i am staying in this bed with or without you next to me. i’m not very fond of all the dreams i’ve been having where i’m staring up at an intense sunset from the sand on the ocean floor.
from the floooooooo00000OOOOOOoooorrrrr
