They say everything will be ok
And some say that they wonât
Why should I listen to what people say?
It doesnât matter if I donât
This is life
Yes, Iâm aware
But that doesnât mean
I donât have a right to be scared
People insane, people on drugs
Humans sticking to things they love
And Iâm just in a corner alone; eyes shut, knees bent
Because everything is not a dove
The world is shit
Full of sh...
She pressed her cool hand to his now beating heart. âI am not permitted to thisâŚâ Her hand went to his head, to erase all memories of her.
But he took her hand and pressed it to his heart again. âMy heart burns again thanks to you. Permit me to cherish all memories of you deep within, my lady.â
She looked at him uncertainly but all of that melted under his intense passionate fiery gaze. The hones...
Iâve been sober three years, did you know that?
Alcohol used to make me suicidal.
I think even now, it still would.
I wasnât stupid for feeling weak, I was stupid for trusting the one person who wasnât supposed to let me down.
And I guess I was tired of being let down.
I was let down a few too many times, I think.
That time, when I broke the windshield, and pushed a car across a busy inters...
I find myself laying in the middle of an isolated red rock thatâs floating in nothing but darkness. I leap to my feet, searching for him. âCome out!â I shout. âWhere are you?!â
Out of the darknees emerges a pair of immense, red eyes, piercing through the darkness. Then descending is a figure dressed in shadow, white hair and yellow fangs. A void in the center of itâs chest. It speaks, "You summon...
Dear mom,
I really hope youâre doing well.
I really hope you know
you put us kids through hell.
That first line is a lie
and I hope you can tell.
I donât think you ever
really tried to get well.
I remember going door to
door to ask for food.
Do you not realize asking
a child to do that is fucking crude?
Cashing out the food stamps
just to snort your pills?
Signed me out of sophomore...
I have only two things I hate in this world. Pineapples on pizza, and negative people. Unfortunately for me, the heavens decided to punish me for an unknown sin, by sending Satans spawn down to earth and into my office. Did I say Satans spawn? I meant Daniel.
The only way I can describe him is a walking, talking news channel, blasting all but the worst terror going on in the world. If he talks ab...
Thank you, for nothing
No really, itâs true
Iâm stuck outside in 60 degree heat
Just waiting for something to sprout
My head is empty, which is surprising
No desire to say
Or tell
Or show
No words I want to say
Drainage is real
Just let me relax with my dog
Oh indeed, my dog
She is a beautiful thing, but I will express more
Her birthday shall come up, and that will be inspiration for ...
Nothing in the news today.
No wars, No politics.
Nothing Up.
Nothing Down.
Nothing burning.
Nothing churning.
Nothing causing me a frown.
Only peace.
Thank you. For Nothing.
Nothing to worry about today.
No disease.
No breakup.
No arguments.
No ill sentiments.
No trips to the store.
No endless quest for âmoreâ.
The Sun rises and smiles across the sky.
The breeze blows in the trees.
Light boun...
Thank you for making me feel
Like I was so special.
Thank you for seeming to be
The man of my dreams.
Thank you for telling me
You couldnât live without me.
Thank you for convincing me
You were different than the rest.
Thank you for confessing
Your love that one evening.
Thank you for showering me
With unending praise.
Thank you for admitting
You couldnât do better.
Thank you for helping me

Thank you, for nothing.
Thank you for not being there when I was learning how to ride a bike.
Thank you for being occupied while my brain was malleable.
For forgetting to teach me.
For being cruel.
For pushing me away.
For missing milestones.
Thank you for never being there, for showing me a father figure isnât imperative.
That Iâm happy and healthy and healed.
Thank you for nothing and that...
