How can I get a job
when there are none?!
My parents really think it's as easy as just asking for one.
Perfume bottle of ecstasy
Broken glass covered in rose blood
Her body laying on carpet
Blood blanketing her corpse
She smelled like roses and death
Yet they say she smelled like me the most
The blade centimeters deep
Kissing the veins I tried to hold together
Don't ask me how I knew
But I know the thoughts are there
Please run from them
Run towards me
Hide in my arms
Bury your fears in my chest
Suffocate the tears with my cologne
I'm here never far
The pillows and blankets
Fortress in your room
Lay down on my back
Let me carry you through the night
Legs can grow weak
As the tyranny of the voices
Burdens them with screams
Never will they collapse
I'll drag us both
I won't let you fall
I'll love you
Even when you think nobody does
Don't ask me how I knew
But I know you think you're alone
I'm in the corner of your closet
Exactly where you threw me
The last time we fought
I'm made of stuffing
But I still bleed
Look at the stains I wear
Dressed for a funeral
Hoping it's not yours
Don't ask me how I knew
I'll just reply
It was the few times we did speak
That told me
You think you're alone
Still got it :)
Tick tock
This stupid clock
Tortoise hands running by the seconds
158 days still too long
18 here I come
Candles already know the wish I'm going to make
Cake is cutting itself
Eating it will be no problem
Ice cream cake from Dairy Queen
Yumm ;)
158 days and counting down
Waiting to hear the BOOM
18 makes when the door hits the ground
Screeching of car tires
Sirens blaring behind me
Across sixteen states
Cops singing their song
Bad Boys Bad Boys Whatcha Gunna Do
When They Come For You
I'll press the pedal through the metal
Let the world choke on my dust
158 days & counting down
Catch me on the news
You'll never hear from me again
A ghost will be pushing that 454
It isn't **** day like that funny commercial
It's day I say **** the world
I say to you my friends
I'll enjoy the works you all post
Today is Read Every Poem You Can Day
And my nerves
Are like useless hands
At the edge of an
Argument.

My foot had a fight
With a brown brogue
And lost,
And it pays for its defeat
With nakedness.

I carry a jaundiced bag
On my hip,
Like an oversized yellow blister,
And I empty it
With a tremored hand
Against the cistern.

Half of my face
Went numb and
I dumbly
Stared into the bathroom mirror,
Astounded that I
Could still smile.

My most meaningful relationship
Is with laxatives!
I romanticise my gut,
Where the flora lives,
Because you have to
Love your body,
Somehow -

Don’t you?
Chicken has always been
there for me
I have my strobe lights
as police
and backyard decorations

ear buds in
and so it begins:

A true beat
is all I need
Long drives
that turn into streets

If the switch is clean
then touch the twitch

"I'm waiting"
from my bedroom door
For all the love I can offer
That is what I deserve

But now only in a dream
Magnified, this is the beginning

no better time to start
beer is my drink
"I party hard"
"I'm a Machine"

Ill play by your rules
I dont have my ID
But you let me in
"For the win"

I'd prefer to not have to correct
-Then you are biting my neck.-
The type-os in the morning

So I am on top
of things. Cup in my hand
but my cooled sweat gland
says this is fall or spring
but no club of a constant winter

On my way home
But I still want the boom

I want this song
on repeat
a better deal than up the street
"ACE!"
and all those cliches

(No I don't want this to end if I haven't found a special friend so goes the story of the personal party)

Better beers for the same price
and for the time being this shall consume my life.
I heard a cry in the night,
A thousand miles it came,
Sharp as a flash of light,
My name, my name!

It was your voice I heard,
You waked and loved me so—
I send you back this word,
I know, I know!
Until you're ready I'll say it
Behind my eyes whenever they catch yours.
Under my breath after you've gone.
Beneath my skin when it itches for you.
Laced in my lips when I say goodnight.
Slipped from my tongue when it cant be contained.
I love you.
