It’s easy to give up on the rest of your life,

It’s easy not to care,

It’s easy to say you’ll change,

I guess it’s easy til you’re scared.

It’s hard to stand up straight,

It’s hard to watch you go.

It’s hard to stop the pain,

So hard you’ll never know.

I’ll do it if I want,

I’ll do it when I’m done.

I’ll do it when the lights go out in Hollywood

It could be drugs or just a gun.

I wish that thin...

Congratulations

I tried so hard,

Put you way before me,

You didn’t go near that,

Instead you were the bully.

I don’t like nasty labels

and don’t use them much,

But you pretended you cared

Then suddenly you went ghost.

Congratulations

I gave you the shirt off my back,

Literally,

And I saved your family,

But you couldn’t care less

So I wish you the best

But I won’t be here for you again.

I owe you ...

The American dream

just feels foreign to me

and I never feel free

just to go where I please

but if I had money

I could go to Cali

and finally be

the closest you can get to happy

when you're me.

My American hell

being stuck in this shell

where I do not do well

cracked

like the liberty bell

Trying

Only to fail

Instead of excel,

And nobody will help.

I could use a way out

Of the state I’m stuck in

...

Never know what you’re capable of until

Another chance showed you

That precious love that you have always been worthy of;

An Adonis of your own.

Life has not been kind to you for a very long time,

It’s been so hard even just to survive

Everything, but everything is what you are to me as well as what you’ll always be....

Everything feels so overwhelming,

My everything,

I miss you deep down in my bones.

Life is hard to live-I know,

You’re my person and I’ll never leave you, so please don’t leave me....

She

Has been through so much,

More than you could imagine

As the demons inside her try,

Try,

Try

To break her.

She

Is fragile for now,

But her spirit

And her love

Shine through the pain she carries.

She will not

Be broken.

She

Doesn’t know

Just how beautiful,

How precious

She is.

Hopfeully one day

She will.

She

Makes me proud

Every day

In every way,

She

Heals me

In ways I cannot explain.

She

G...

Sometimes I feel like I’m insane,

Like I’m speechless, nothing to say.

Nothing to lose,

Nothing to gain.

Then I realize it’s in my brain,

No matter what I take I’m stuck in pain,

I don’t want to feel anymore,

Don’t want to feel a thing,

A girl can only take so much,

Until she must explode,

She will surely meet her judge,

And be fully exposed.

I know that it’s all in my head,

But it still doesn’...

Sometimes it seems I have it all,

With money,

Education,

But it came at a great cost,

And I ended up forever lost.

Sometimes I feel so low

And it doesn’t help to be broke.

I want to leave but I’m just

Too far

From home.

My life is a city on fire,

And I’m watching,

As it burns,

Alone and suffering,

Lacking in love.

If only those thoughts didn’t creep in,

Drowning me in an intrusive obsession

I n...

Can we sit down

At the table,

And talk about the things

We were unable

To think about,

Let alone voice?

Can you hold off

On your judgment,

Can you listen to me,

Without interruption,

Sip some good scotch,

And try to understand?

I have loved you,

Since I met you,

I never want to surrender

But I bet you

Will be gone soon,

If you’re not already.

Can I just have one more

Moment with you

Before we s...

Pittsburgh to Philadelphia,

Dreaming of the place I love,

Sweet purple flowers falling into a beautiful pile of confetti on the sidewalks.

and the scent of delicious bud,

How things could just be sweet,

Easy,

Chill.

Fun.

Weird.

But I’m always stuck in PA,

The wrong Oakland.

So I reach for the drugs,

Reach out to the plug.

For sure need a buzz,

I have got to be numb,

Cause I can’t stand the pain....
