I probably need to get better
I think that I probably Need to get better friends
Feels like I’m always A means to an end
Sadly that’s how I’m starting To see them too,
Even you.
I probably need to get better
At talking about my problems
Communication isn’t my best
There’s been progress but
I’m not sure how many years I’ve got left
Oh, I probably need to get better
But what happens when I change
I probably need to get better
But what happens when they fade
I think we’ve gotten worse
We’re starting to fall apart Again
I think you’re stepping backwards
I can feel you leaving
Oh, I’m too attached
I probably need to get better
But I’m scared of the other side
I probably need to get better
But part of me still wants to hide
I probably need to get better
But can’t I just stay inside
I probably need to get better
But I’m scared of what I’ll find
I probably need to get better
But what happens when I change ?
I probably need to get better
Cuz I’m scared to stay the same
I probably need to get better
But what happens when you go?
I probably need to get better
Because what happens if i don’t?
The safety blanket is on fire
But at least I’m warm
If this is stripped from me
I’ll stand naked in the cold
Trembling and Uncomfortable
Will my soul survive the change?
Or will I die with these third degree burns?
Will I live to see another day?
I probably need to get better
But I don’t wanna fight
I probably need to get better
And I’m worried I might.

The Silence
The silence
After the music stops
After my stomach drops
After it’s said out loud
The quiet
Beating in your heart
Filling up your lungs
Paralyzing you from the chest down
I’m in the car
Driving awfully slow
For someone who just wants to be on the road
For someone who doesn’t want to lose control
And now I’m on the moon
But I’m not over it, I’m glued to it
I’m on the ground and you’re in the spaceship
I’m in one of those moods
Where I can only write about you
Where all I can do Is pretend to be a poet
With an eye for tragedy
Oh but no matter what I do
You’re the parasite Infesting my mind
You feed me cruel thoughts
You find my soul and crawl inside
So yes I’m in one of those moods
And the silence is overbearing
I can feel reality shaking
Or is that just my hands
The quiet, Can you hear it?
Because no matter what I do, I always can
There’s a drilling in my head
And a gun to my heart
You leave me again, You pull me apart
You think it’s only fair
But I only left you once
The weeds are
falling to the ground
I am the air
But you’re the one
In the wind now
You beat me to it
You fucked around and found out
Oh and In the silence
I stand alone
Waiting for you to come home
But you never will
And so here I am
In the terminal
With my feet glued to the floor
And you’re in the plane
Oh Nothing will ever be the same

Bones
As much as my bones ache to venture out
To experience the life I was given
My body stays still
No matter how much I shout
And as much as my heart dreams
of the wonders I could see
My eyes stay closed
And I sleep
I sleep with these dead bones
Inanimate sticks that used to uphold a being
Broken and rotting They lay
When I open the blinds to the window of my soul
The lights are not on
And No one Is home
I am rotting and broken and gone
But I am right here
I’ve been here all along
watching from the outside
Knocking on the door
But the high pitched ringing
Drowns out my voice
I cannot feel, I cannot see, I cannot speak
and all I hear are the shadows screaming
to be kept in the dark
This is purgatory
I am alive
But my soul is dead

Red heart and a Blue moon..
The first chill of fall
Breeze that brings goosebumps
A red heart and a blue moon
I’m here with you
Staring at the sun during an eclipse
Light seared in my eyes
Made everything seem bright
But what if you were just a blue moon
With a tinge of honesty
But lies were Lurking
in the murky waters beneath
Waiting for a chance to pounce
on their prey
To grip my red heart
Take your claws and
Rip my organs out
Kill me without a frown in sight
Devour my lungs, choke them down
You’re ravenous and I’m enticing
You think that this is exciting
I’m screaming while I watch
You consume my flesh and blood
You have earplugs in
Listening to your favorite song
My blood stains the sweater I bought
At a thrift store with my grandmother
My hair is loose on the ground
In clumps, bloody at the root
My ears been cut off
With a jagged piece of a mirror
And the edges are dripping with poison
I’m already infected
I can feel the disease spreading
Throughout my entire body
I cough red
I bleed endlessly
My clothes are torn
My soul is leaving me
I see stars and a blue moon
And grasped in their hand
Is my red heart
I don’t know how to feel about this view
I wish we were already past this part
Cannibalistic and deadly
Your actions will end me

Autumn,
Another year, Another Halloween
Creativity flows until I come upon
the choices I meet
What to be, Who to wear, What to say, What to share
pieces of my soul or shards of my heart
I’d give them all to you
But you’d give me none
Growing apart, Like leaves dying in autumn
Falling from The tree
Orange and brown colors Turn them old
Crisp like the air and stale like our conversations
So many costumes planned, So many events shared, So much time spent
It’s crazy to think of how little you care
Now that we’re grown, Now that we’re old
I give you my heart And you look at your phone
Interested in others words
I’m ablaze, A mirage in the heat
Thought I saw love
Turns out it was a memory
We can no longer see our tree
We flow through the wind
in different directions
Different paths, Different grass to land, Different shoes to get stuck on, Different people to love
A friendship gone
A love lost
A lesson learned
A person to yearn
Autumn arrived and left
Autumn, a friend i once kept
