and I’m donating
all of my money
to the industry
of lies, lies, lies
I’m winning this battle
but not this war.
and maybe through my leg-bouncing
tendon-seeing
bone-poking
I finally will.
and maybe
I’m not suppose to love
until I get out of this labyrinth
of all of this tumbling
suffering
but maybe
I won’t escape
alive
but maybe
I won’t escape
alone
but I’m so afraid
I’m here, I’m here.
“Hold onto chance
Lest we bleed ourselves
Save for the pets
They’re the loneliest
Put into jars
We’ll save this earth
Put into jars
We’ll save the earth
We can’t both become the same pawn
That’s made to fall
Oil that tastes like
Blood stole the summer scent
From me to you
You’re stabbing me through you
You’re stabbing you through him
And betting most of
This world
We’ll add enough of the world
Steal from yourselves
It never felt so good
And feed from their hand’s
Confuse by opposites
Put into jars
We’ll save this earth
Put into jars
Keep safe this earth
Feeling manic for a day
Depends on the trends
Depends on the surface
If the sun never sets
This world
We’ll add enough of the world
Is the main thing you’ll shout
Till the bitter end
into jars”
I dream of
long trench coats
of “fighting the man”
police cars
a pen that knows everything
a belief that I’m more than myself.
a belief that someone was for me.
but then I awoke
in my cucoon of sheets
and frustration
it’s just me, me, me,
in my tiny little dorm room
and so much information to learn
is there more than this?
it’s hard
finding something that makes you feel human.
I don’t feel human.
The emotions that range through me
are human,
but I am so disconnected from the real world
so how am I human?
I’m transitioning into trusting.
I promise, now
when you ask for a smile
I’ll smile
and when you ask what I’m thinking
I tell you what I truly am thinking
I’ll be honest,
it broke me to hear you say
“I don’t care.”
because maybe I care too much
and it’s not needed.
I’ve treated you like crap,
and I’m swimming in all the guilt
but maybe you’ll give me a chance
to prove to you
that I can be there just as much for you
as you have been
for me.
