Can one be sadly angry?
Or miserably furious?
Anything is possible
With something so serious
My anger wants answers
My sadness still grieves
They battle regret
And straight disbelief
My mind is Pearl Harbour
Bombed without cease
The fighting’s intense
It’s Normandy Beach
I won’t pick either
There’ll be no peace
Not on this island
Not in this blitz...
hey, hey
winter boy
crack your golden teeth on these southern bones
don’t you think it’s more impressive that i ain’t ever seen snow,
yet i can skate just as good as you?
i grown up on rough ice,
in a sketchy town
not your perfect new york lakes
or your shiny boston rinks,
with a cop at every corner.
i was green light-up wheels on black asphalt,
fake jersey that i made myself held...
Happiness.
I feel it. I know it’s there.
Yet, it feels like I should be sad. The smile I wear when someone tells a joke
should turn into a frown, showing something deeper.
Sometimes I can’t breathe. It feels like a heavy weight is pressing on my chest,
no matter how hard I push, it stays, stuck like glue.

but that smil...

Did you love me?
Or did I love you?
It’s a two way street, I know
But did we split down those streets?
I cherished you, I cared about you
It’s so crazy, that my heart could have felt so much
I’m broken, but you made me feel
Maybe I fell too fast, maybe I fell too far
But I’ll never regret knowing you
I’ll never regret thinking of you
I’ll never forget you
If life has taught me anything

I suppose it doesn’t matter
It doesn’t matter that he killed what was apart of me
I mean, _Ha_
It’s not like it was important
**But it was important**
**That sweetness,**
**That last shred of innocence **
**The last peice of the joy I had **
**I feel empty without it**
**Without that feeling to cradle**
**To stroke when I feel afraid**
**To cuddle when I feel sad **
I’m an adult now
Well, te...
I’m moving into my college dorm tomorrow.
I’m sure you can imagine the bittersweet feelings I have about it.
I’m about to move in with three people
who are all like me in one way or another.
This is what I wanted, right?
One more night in this haunted house. One more night of not having responsibilities. One more night of the sweet life. One more day of mental twisting. One more day with the ...
