My mother taught me how to
tie my shoes one day,
We were at the park,
the bench cold beneath us—
Winter made itself known, the leaves were brittle, dead.
She said to me, “You’ve fallen
one too many times,”
And as she laced the last shoe, whispered,
“No one will always be there to help you.”
So that was the last day she helped me up,
Dusted off my jeans.
For years, I remembered to tie my shoe...

I realized who I am and why I’m so quiet

I woke up and heard the shouts and the violence

I opened my eyes to see I was a nihilist

I understood why everyone’s lives are like this

But when will the world
Have one too?...
I sit in bed, yet his words won't leave my mind:
"God's not real."
I flip through my bible, desperate to find a passage to distract me.
It's not like I haven't had that thought try to force its way into my mind before.
But as I look to my favorite verses, I realize how contradicting this stupid book is.
How many verses have rules my church ignores.
"God's not real."
But if he's not, what pu...

I did it again, I overreacted
To something only so small
So small that whatever it was
Is hard to recall
I feel like a horrible person
I don’t know why it made me feel that way
And after all this time
My streak broke today
I can’t tell who I am
I promise I’ve tried
Whether I am me
Or the monster inside
I can’t seem to breathe
The tears covering my face
My ability to ...
What am I meant to do on this earth?
Am I on the right path?
Will it matter?
Does what I do now matter?
Questions fill my mind
Cloud my thoughts, affect my actions
Can I make it?
Am I good enough?
I hear disbelief
Whispers
About me
Wondering what I am thinking
How I think I can accomplish it
Are they coming from others?
Or from the voices in my head?...

I don’t belong to anyone accept myself,
So how I find happiness,
Is up to no one but me.

Mustn’t we know what they bring upon us
We slaved for supposed wealth
When we yell, they wonder of the fuss
When we yell, we yell for help
We are tired of the purgatory
Too much work, too little fed
For we starve and left for dead
No one is expurgatory
We are still so young
Yet became aged
Some smoke their lungs
Some savor their days
Some work to support
Some ruthlessly drink
We’re shaken to ou...
28 years around the sun,
meaningful accomplishments: I have none.
28 years around the sun,
lots of memories and regrets, just trying to have fun.
28 years around the sun,
Expectations and obligations start to weigh a ton
28 years around the sun,
I have no idea what to do next
& it’s all too complex
so maybe I’ll just run...
