Home Of The Lame
Misty Meadows Nov 2016
This is a failure that reflects
The lack of care you have for others.
This is the failure that
Demonstrates the bitterness of
The pale-hearted.
The failure that speaks back,
That shakes the hand of our
Acrid enemies and welcomes
Our soulless past with open
Arms.

This is the failure you prayed for.
This is the failure you sing.

Now I Lay
Misty Meadows Dec 2018
Midnight tales don't
Do me well.
Warm milk can spill,
But can't fill this Hell

Within my head.
You'll like me dead.

Mom's hugs won't help,
I'll really **** myself.

I'm in Hell again.
This never ends.

The cycles bent.
I can't repent.

Follow suit.
This could be you.

Right now it's me.
No angel wings.

God is never wrong
He is never wrong

Mrs. Perfect
Misty Meadows Dec 2018
I ain't tryna be perfect.
I'm good at flirting with the devil.
With intentions always certain,
I can never play the victim
If I caused the others hurting.
But I ain't give another reason
To get treated like a merchant..
Like a servant
So indentured,
You can't even see she's worth it.

You ain't gonna step up, are you?
Mrs. Get it done when I want.
Procrastination's gonna harm you.
Don't be hating on my blunt.
That's the only thing that seems to
Warm you.
And now, I don't give a ****.

That's what you wanted.
What you asked for.

All this pain is past due.
You talking tryna glue it,
But I'm looking right past you.
Can't be crying, looking foolish.

You don't deserve a look from my eyes,
When they searched your heart for
So long.
You wish you could make me believe
I'm tripping, but that is just so wrong.

And we ain't got no old songs.
No rings and no future.
Nothing left so baby so long.
That distance gon be torture.
But for you, not me.
I'm used to being lonely.
Only difference is, I'm still alone,
You just can't hold me.
****** up flow on purpose. If I wanted to be perfect I could be

Falling Apart Is Old
Misty Meadows Oct 2018
I need some help out here,
Something better than this.
I ain't no sensitive kid
Unless they speak on my pancreas,
Then it is what it is.
I blow a malevolent kiss
Because the love I receive
Comes from a satanic abyss,
Full of the souls I've betrayed
In my past lively days.
I didn't pay much attention,
Now karma is who I must pay.
And to the higher above,
I must always go pray.
We have prayers for pain
And prayers for laughter.
Heavely Father, I'm a disaster.
After this wound,
There can be no more after.
Afterlife is unknown,
But I believe in the best.
But for people like me,
Only looking forward to death
Due to the instances pushed on
The mere flesh,
We will have no chance,
It's a one way ticket to flames.
But for this pain, I have great disdain.
Whisper my name when you visit
My tomb.
Understand you can
Never be gone too soon
When dirt and death and
All things below that bury your
Smile
Are meant for you.

Utilization
Misty Meadows Apr 2018
Honestly,

I feel like the devil been taking bribes,
By helping these spiteful people
Cause pain that I can't describe.
And lately, I've been craving
A dose that is not prescribed.
'cause I'd rather be the reason for
Ruining my own life.

And if I take my own life,
Please don't call it a suicide.
'cause suicide involves intention,
And lately, I can't decide.
It's a battle between my heart
And the depths of my own mind.
But if life hands me the blades,
Best believe, I will utilize.

Vex
From the purple abyss,
I sip.

I blink, I lean.

Please don't bother me.

I swallow the chalky
Pills.

This feels rather real.

So please don't bother me.

I don't play with them
Blades no more.

No lethal swords.

But please don't bother me.

I get tempted by
Disastrous things.

If you gon' watch me bleed,
At least,
Don't bother me.

Castaway
Misty Meadows Jul 2017
Your tongue reminds me of the

Shores that I've never seen,

Pushing against mine like the tide

Up on the beach.

The wonders of your body, so vast

Like the seven seas.

Take my breath away and give it back.

You're an ocean breeze.

The Thought Gotta Kill You
Misty Meadows Dec 2018
You look like my pain,
You even sound the same way.
Whose heart you racing to?
My heart be racing too.
I'm a nervous wreck.
No disrespect,
But I'll waste my last breath
On 3 puffs of some *****.

You don't want no smoke with me.
I'm reckless, I'm feckless.
Blood spills, let it leak,
Ghosts gon' sip it for breakfast.

You won't like me when I'm
Down, when I'm low.
When I'm low, when I'm down,
I slice a smile, hate to frown.

I see nothing but you,
Can't close my eyes,
Even to sleep.
I got blisters on my hands,
From gripping shovels.
Grave's deep.

Throw me in it if you don't see me too.
Take a look, take a look at all they
Put me through.

Now tell me what you gonna do.

I like roses and rosé, bring it all to
My burial.

Truancy
Misty Meadows Apr 2019
From my friends and lover,
To siblings and mother,
My father, my doctor...

Just please keep it
Honest.

If I died today, like the
Dearly departed,
Y'all tears would last miles
From the point that they started.

And that's so hard to say,
'Cause the days I could breathe,
Y'all were one step away
In the distance near me.
They hear you scream and cry for help but choose not to care so why do you stay for them they don't care if you go if you stay so suicide isn't selfish for anyone except them they are selfish and put guilt on you even in death you'll forever be your own martyr they had you and didn't see you were here for them not you

Hope is Abrupt
Misty Meadows Nov 2018
What is it that you
Have been sipping
That has got you tripping and
Praying good riddance
To your lovely presence?
I'm hoping you hear me
Because you've been scary,
And we are all fearing

That you're gonna ruin the one
Thing that's present.

Life is a present
And gifts are not chosen,
So I'm hoping and praying
That this gift ain't stolen.

A theif is commended by all other
Thieves.
I'm hoping your casket don't
Fall with the leaves.
Fresh air is a gift, but it's
So hard to breathe.
Can't give you the gift and the freedom
To flee.

You belong in a happier hell than
They'll send you.
You don't wanna go on, but we make
You pretend to.
I see that it's hard and puts strain on
Your mental,
But think on the bright side, you've
Survived what you went through.

Damaged Goods
Misty Meadows Feb 2018
Hell has no mercy on my soul.
They bless this angel with flames.

I guess I'm only holy by the gift of my
Name.

Not a single love song can save me.
Borderline genius and borderline
Crazy, maybe?

I hope to God, He don't hear me when
I'm struggling.
He always likes to add more **** to
What I'm already juggling.

I get to cussing and fussing over
Nothing,

It seems.

Abusing that syrup has got me
Rough
At the seams.

And I don't follow no meter.

My writing is a reflection of me.
My mirror's been shattered by grief.
And splattered with ink.
I dabble in things that only
Shake and rattle my peace.

It's a never-ending battle with me.

Traffic in my head.
Blade to my wrist.

I kinda hate when I start thinking
Like this.

Just Might
Misty Meadows Oct 2018
My heart seeps a weakness
That might've came from the
Clouds.
It leaps out the sky like a stage dive
To crowds.

I built a sturdy armour to block out
The pain.
But it couldn't seem to stop all the
Guilt and the blame.

I strum my heartstrings with
These things I don't need.
My lungs beg for smoke and my
Mind also pleads.

If I lay my head without a
Defense for reality,
I just might take my life--
Ain't no might. That's actuality.
Misty Meadows Sep 2020
Can't pretend to be too
Fond--
I got this blood all on my palms.
And if you ask me, yes of course
I'll swear that really nothing's wrong.
Through half smoked cigars and boxes
Of pad thai,
I'm just pushing past the years of being the
Bad guy.
And if I'm just worm food to the dirt that Craves you,
How do you expect me to bleed out simply to
Save you?

Love Me
Misty Meadows Oct 2018
My heart is the home you should
Lay your head.
Lay your head on my chest and
Rest.
I promise you that I can give my
Best.
My best is amazing, it is nothing less.
You are nothing less than a *** of gold.
For all your love, my soul is sold.
I'm comfortable with it growing old.
I just hope that you never flip or fold.
But you can fold my heart in two,
If you,
Decide my pain is beautiful.
I won't cry. I won't even lie,
I'll just give my life and my truth to
You.

Bluff
Misty Meadows Sep 2018
That girl don't love me like she
Say she do.
If she did, she'd make herself
More available.
But she don't, she leaves me in
The cold air.
She leaves me broken, with no
Care.
I often find myself excusing this.
I blame it on my uselessness.
That girl don't need me like she
Say she does.
I'm just a swift enjoyment.
An energy rush.
And now she's burnt out, with no need
To give
And now I'm burnt out with no reason
To live.
I'm not love sick nor love ridden.
She must've forgotten she's forgiven.
Forgetful and smitten.
My heart can't take the
Torture.
That girl don't love me like she
Say she do and I
Cannot force her.

Cannot poker face, unless you phonies
Got some
More ****.
I sip on codeine and kinda dabble
With that
Morphine.
But do not get confused, 'cause I
Will never be
A dope fiend.
Smoking heavy clouds, you see my
Lungs, they got some
Protein.
I'm easily influenced, if you
Wanna
Take me under.
I be fearing no flesh and no Gods and
No thunder.
If I feel it
In my veins,
Then I need to be
Numb-er.
But please, not too strong.
Can't let it be
My last
Number.

Misty Meadows Jul 2017
I dream of colors in your eyes and
I can only imagine
How it would feel if I could glide
In the depths of your passion.
You hold me tight, you keep me close
Like I'm fresh out the womb.
With lacerations to my soul,
You always tend to the wounds.
Enough pain in the world, so
You relate quite well.
Never losing your religion,
Or just tamed by Hell?
See, please don't get offended
When I ask these questions.
Still a blessing, I ain't stressing
Over your intentions.
Oh, I've seen enough evil to
Embrace your flaws.
I mean, you accept mine
Whenever duty calls.
Whatever blood on my palms,
You gladly rinse away.
So whatever pain on your surface,
I can kiss away...
I seem to always get like this when
I dream of you.
And to even think of you is
A dream come true.
It's a dream come true, or
It's a dream well seen.
I say I dream of you,
But really, you're my dream.

You're awfully beautiful,
But not an awful person.
Is it even possible to love you
Without being a whole burden?
I'm nervous and uncertain
'Cause you neglect my heart so
Often.
Misty Meadows Jun 2019
Loose screws and cheap *****,
You got me so confused.
I tried to simmer down, but
Junkies came and lit the fuse.
With the AC in the closet, like your
Faithfulness.
I lick all on my lips to show you, you
Ain't tasting this.
College really ain't for me because I
Hate the ****.

It's just some basic ****. I start my
Convos great and swift.
But on the contrary, bad and slow
Is all we know.
But there's just no excuse for bags of
**** all on my floor.
I know you say I'm venting, blowing
Steam, what can I do?
But all I do is laugh, I'm high as
Hell, don't **** my mood.
I have my own agenda when it
Comes to breaking hearts.
But if you do it first, I'll break your
Spirit, wanna start?
Oh, you don't wanna start?
Then pour a shot, we'll drink to that.
And light a blunt, put it at my lips.
And watch me sing to that.

Your Heart Sounds Lazy
Misty Meadows May 2019
I usually wash my hands of the
Women who disrespect me.
Who think it's okay to speak care then
Just neglect me
Not one bat of your lashes
Can strip me of my tears.
Your angry piercing eyes
Don't strike me no fear.
The begging and pleading
Gets done on the regular.
Yet, I'd do anything in the name
Of protecting her.
But I don't get no protection,
No attention...
Just forget it.
'Cause every time I speak about it,
All your spite is there, detected.
How much more can you take,
Before you
Break
The very heart that pumped love
Into your soul
Back when the world would treat you
Cold.
Instead, I am the bad one.
True love? I never had one.
I sit and smoke my doja and get
Tweaked off of that ***.
And the drum of life just really has
No rhythm for me.
So tell cupid choke and die or blow out
Some kisses for me
Gotta be on to bigger better things now

When it's dark, oh it's dark,
We'll never see the light of day.
When it hurts, oh it hurts.

Where's your heart?
Does it fade like sacred moons?
I'm the angel of your burden.
I'm your favorite thing to lose.

Psychology 101
Misty Meadows Feb 2018
I don't feel pain. Pain is
Something in your head.
Please believe me. I know this.
It's something that I read...
In a textbook with pages so
Thin, I think I bled,
From the papercut I craved, but
I really meant to dread.

Yeah, I meant to dread it,
But I craved it and I yearned
For the quick sensation of the
Stinging and the burn.
And I was gonna say ouch, but
Didn't I just learn
That pain is an illusion?
So, I guess it didn't hurt.

But what if it did hurt
And I'm really just a sheep?
Scrutinizing all these books,
Always tryna sound deep.
And I wanna feel strong,
But I'm really quick to weep.
Always smiling in the day, but
Hope to die within my sleep.

But when I fall asleep,
I never get the chance to pass.
Man, a silent, painless death is
The only thing I asked.
And I never seem to get it.
And the pain seems to last.
And this shows I didn't learn
A single **** thing from class.

Eyes change like your
Mood.
I'm tryna put you into one.
Nobody gotta be involved
If you tell them it's for fun.
'Cause when you show them that
It's real, you'll never get what you
Crave.
It seems Captain save a *** is the
*** that needs saved.
And you gon' dig your own grave if
You playing with my pain because
I'm not the kind of girl to just sit and
Not complain.
See, I'm the kind of girl who's gonna
Slowly feel insane.
So you should probably pick your
Battles
The way your eyes pick your mood.
It's better to have some say on the
Things that cause your wounds.

And I've got a hundred thoughts,
I'm thinking 'bout a hundred stacks.

I gotta entertain vengeance
For a hundred stabs,
That I done got to the back.
Now, what you know of that?

They tryna hold me back.
I'm cold and lonely,
Bold and sad.

They gave a hundred stabs,
I'm coming with a loaded mac.
They gave a hundred stares,

Thinking about losing my

I'm all alone and cold tonight.

Hold me if you know what's right.

All my thoughts running with the
Stampede in my head.
I tried to tame the beast, it started
Teething instead.

Don't you cry... nightmares got you
Peeing the bed?
And when you don't, you only have
Dreams of regret.

Regretting all the moves that you
Made in the dim.
Got bedtime prayers for a lifetime of
Sin.

Never had to question if it's water, if
It's wind,
But the things that I've seen even
Make the blind squint.

You don't wanna know what I
Think under my sheets.
I cuddle with my pillow, close my eyes
And count my sheep.
I don't ever get to sleep, so I'm tossing
And I'm turning,
And I'm tryna knock this feeling.
It's an aching and a burning.
It's a yearning and a craving.
A desire for a touch.
My body whispering her name,
I keep telling it to hush.
But it ain't tryna stay quiet, so I ain't
Putting up a fight.
And if we're being honest, I'm tryna
Love on her tonight.
So, I get out of bed, and open the
Window for a breeze.
As the air hits my skin, I'm wishing
It was her touching me.
Her hands are a paradise. I'm stressed
Out, need release.
Her lips are the only thing that'll
Give me inner peace.
So, I'll weep every night
And never sleep every night,
Because her love is the only thing I
Need every night.
But until I get her love and the
Rest that it brings,
I'll be tossing every night, still
Thinking 'bout these things.

It's the ones that quake and quiver
Near the vacant
Lakes and rivers,
That I follow with a temper of
The hollow winds of
Winter.

Them hollow winds do
Follow them. My appetite is
Bothersome.
I crave the things I shouldn't
Lust. I pick apart and
Swallow them.

The carcass breeds a
Selfish need
To melt the pain it
Couldn't flee.
Why take its hope and set it free.
Another way to rest in peace?

A drunken swear--
A sudden stare--
And no surprise, you stumbled
There...

Words of care. Don't be the first
To make it bad 'fore it gets worse.
