Show me you care,
and I'll show some respect.
I'm getting out of hand and you treat me with neglect.
You know all this time I've started to suspect
that even though our problems worsen,
you won't do anything yet.
Feelin nicotine sick
Tho nev **** on a stick
Dealin wit dopamine *****
They don't need a fix
No more imagining it's accidental, ******. No more mercy. No more acceptance. No more tolerance.

It's not my body
But I have to tend to it's care.
I don't want it
But it's not going nowhere.
Changing gender each week
wasn't my choice to pick
But I've got to deal with it.

I feel like a ghost
Like I’m here but in there, somewhere, hiding
I paint an ugly picture of me all the time that i try to keep clean
But after your truth yesterday,
there is no organizing..
It’s black, moldy.
It’s hideous and unkind,
It’s damaged goods thrown out,
It’s sadness and longing,
disappointment and let downs,
Its lack of security and grounding,
It’s eat or get eaten, it’s alone.

Fragile I guess is an understatement
But I’ve been the one to break you so many times…
I can’t seem to feel your love, I think it missed me as I was trying to clean, organize, survive
- my ****

The hurt, hurt
Our relationship is testimony to that
We should of walked away, so many times, so long ago..
but we’re here still.. crying
Maybe then you’d be a better you, a more whole you with out the added on hurt I’ve caused.

The weight of our past is crushing me
The weight of my actions are hard to look at
The weight of the hypocrisy is real

I keep on trying to clear things out
To reset the foundation beneath
After so many failed attempts,
I don’t think I know how to do that.
Everything thing I seem to use isn’t holding.

I’m scrambling for healing so I don’t lose you, lose us, lose me to this hole.

That’s really me, the damage I’ve done, who I am. What Ive been, a mean, unkind, self centered *****.

I guess I do own a glass house.
Well idk about own, it’s all Ive known.

But these boulders I’ve claimed are here for safe keeping and when I throw them, they take a lot out, but i fear that if I keep that up one day I’ll be homeless.

Cause I’m just a sad girl, in a glass house, who’s learned the art of war..


and unfortunately for you, you love me.

My mind and my body are slowly growing apart
Physically I’m in my apartment alone writing this
But mentally I’m stuck in a never ending loop that’s constantly reminding me why I’m such a failure
What’s stopping me from being happy?

I'm the one who's in pain
Don't you see it?
I'm the one who's covered by fear
Don't you feel it?
I'm afraid what will happen to you out there

                              I'm still here in silence
                              Actually I'm stuck in time
                              I screamed "please, are you still there?"
                              But you're far away from me
                            
                                                         I'm sinking in this silence
                                                         Which is increasingly weakening
                                                         this self
                                                         I don't know where and when this
                                                         feeling will end
                                                         As if all of this has no end

The sweet curve of your smile is increasingly reluctant to meet my eyes
No longer does your cheerfulness echo a guerrilla roar in my eardrums?
Let this ending become a memory for you
Just go, I'm not in vain because in truth time has not erased memories yet
Or:
I'm stuck

                             I know I can never reach you
                             Even though your image is still stuck in my mind
                             However, let this self hug you once again
                             Even if it's only through a poem

I wake up
Heart pounding
Staring at a grey wall
I lay there in silence
A dull sting of nothingness
Capturing my soul
Eyes wide open
I keep on staring
Hoping to feel something
Alas, I never do
the effects of anti-depressants seem to only remove my emotion they do not help me smile

Today's buried under the promise of tomorrow
tomorrow's yesterday adrift in delusions
of a future in vain from the inaction of today
the future of today cheated by the yearning of the subsequent
the past a lesson forgotten today yet relived tomorrow
Goodbye yesterday's tomorrow, it's time to lose the present to the future and the future to a present endlessly hallucinating
the progress of another day another time
Going in circles
repeating the same mistakes
oh, procrastination
let me out from your loop

felt cute but might delete later....

A sword stuck in its sheath
is used as a cudgel to strike the innocent
until a hardened circle has formed
and an iron grip developed.

A shell stuck in its chamber
fires unexpectedly
avoiding suitable targets
and striking unintended victims.

A missile launches from its silo
without a target
going straight into space
never looking at the striking planet left behind.

So much to see
So much to learn
I’m in too deep
How to return?
