It’s funny
We take one glance at someone
Figure we figure out all that there is to them
Judge, critique, resent
Never wanting to ask them to dig deeper
Where did effort go

Feasting on hate among a group
The taste improves
Plates are being refilled
Tongues are sliding on them

Let me see the chains you cover
Inspect and figure out
Dissect and dissolve
I may not have the hands of a craft man’s
Or carry the keys of solutions so
Let me do what i can
I will always knock
With your approval wanted,
waiting for the doors creaking and you behind it

I can’t see you like this
My being becomes inflamed

This infatuation will **** me,
let me forget what it is that traps you
Remind me that you’re strength is buried within
Let me dig in when you allow it

My heart was in the place, just
My mind was somewhere else

I’m in love with music because of how it makes my body feel
The impulse to twitch a part of me
to let out something i’ve been holding
Twist the floor beneath with my feet
slipping off that care even with others
Pull my head back and forward
Knee hopping in rhythm
Hands feeling up the space
Your voice does the same to me

if i can’t ever own my own story
how can i ever tell it

starving for attention
yet gluttony feeds me further

The flaws of mine are all I look to
their the most obvious
the only thing I really see
Somehow you scavenge any beauty in it.

in a million faces i still find yours,
no matter the distance

I intended to clean you from it,
instead i washed you away

Whenever i have the opportunity to explore another,
that voice man,
creeps humming behind my ears,
then asking “are you worth their time”
then suddenly im standing,
not engaging
the want ran away from me

Her face
Burned deeply into my mind
Setting ablaze that rollercoaster of emotions

i wanna strip off this fake skin
show you my brittle broken bones

sometimes when I peek at that reflection
every intention involved in letting the world see me
instantly goes away

like popping an irritating long lasting pimple
pressing out all excess
endure pain
