Time is ticking, and there’s no where else to run

The thought of change is sickening, but I refuse to be done

Done with the chaos and pain that eats me alive

Efforts may be in vain, but I’m just trying to survive

I try to forgive and forget, but my memory likes to fail me

Some things I do regret, but I’m done taking a knee

I quit being sorry for myself and wishing I had more

I won’t put my ...

Every day seems the same,

But I am the only one to blame.

I am in solitude, I disassociate.

My conversation has become so out of date.

I lie in my bed and stare at the wall,

My mind accustomed to the social withdrawal.

I’m growing tired of the forced communication,

But I won’t throw out the accusation.

But change can be a loss or gain,

Because you can’t have a rainbow without rain.

So why don’t ...

Always in the background

Rarely making a sound

Never in the limelight

Forever out of sight

You will never know me

Nor will you ever see

The thoughts that are swirling

And my life unfurling...

Inspired by Jennifer Niven’s “All The Bright Places”

When will he learn

How far is too much

Never slowing down

Too close to not touch.

Wants it to end

He’s ready to go

He is too tired

And time is too slow.

He wants to live

But he stopped trying

So the choice he makes

Will leave you crying.

He is sorry

He must leave you now

To reach the unknown

To take his last bow.

Lost in the fog

Alone in th...

It couldn’t have lasted forever.

My happiness, my sanity.

Gone like the switch of a lever,

Try to get back to reality.

Wonder why it all happened,

Just last year.

My heart has been blackened,

No emotions, no tears.

So much has changed, too much to tell,

Where did all the time go?

It left with you, once you fell

Into death’s hands, the final blow....

So please oh please don’t treat it the same

As people on a chess board caught in check

So you must realize we are all a wreck

In this world full of pain, but not only

Heartache but we are not lonely.

The people we have and loved ones we care

For all may share

The worries and thoughts we can’t help think

So before you judge just know we aren’t all in sync.

We are all different in our own way

But t...

Try so hard. Never being enough.

All the oppressive words of this world making me feel I am not worthy of love.

I am worthy. But how could I be?

The life I wanted is something I cannot see.

To hear the harmful words of my peers,

Is to rip my heart out and scream through the tears.

Why would I even try anymore,

If the world is as it currently is, not as it was before

We all became the scared and...

Drip, drip, drip. Click, click, click.

Always the same, always the same.

I believe I may be going insane.

Always the same in this room.

Except when I get my food.

Maybe I’ll get a call today.

Or tomorrow, it doesn’t matter either way.

So fun to hit the padded walls.

I run and play like it’s nothing at all.

Nothing but the nothingness of the nothing inside.

No worries to worry about on thi...

He was a monster,

The man that I hated.

He was everything I disliked,

And very outdated.

When I think of him,

My heart will implode.

Not from emotion,

But from the bomb’s code.

His name is the spark,

That creates a killing flame.

You always make me question,

Was this really all a game?

But of course it was,

And time will tell.

When you will truly regret,

That time that you fell....

My twilight.

Not only the sun nor moon,

Yet the in between.

No longer the azure blue day,

With the sun emerging on the horizon.

Or the celestial night,

The moon dust scattered like fallen leaves.

The beginning and the end.

Start and finish.

I will stay with you,

Our secrets safe between worlds.

No more hiding, running.

Just us in your peace.

Oh, the peace in never changing.

No questions or ...
