Bad Manufacturing
I am made entirely of flaws stitched together by good intentions.
Something in my bones tells me I’m a rather inhuman invention.
If you buried me alive you wouldn’t know the difference because you never paid attention.
Give me clemency for my portrayal of the tension.
And let me have solace for the sake of unnecessary redemption.
But you stitched me this way and said it was to “teach me a lesson”

‘I am made entirely of flaws, stitched together by good intentions’
She was conditioned to hate her body. To sell it. Red was temptation, greed, hate, anger and war.
The mirror also depicted the ugly side.
It showed the scars. It showed the pain.
It showed the burden or her burdens.
She cried for help. Many times. They listened but she was deaf. She walked alone. So she thought.
The scars...
Mistakes
When The world seems to be ending
It never really does
We as humans
Know what loss
Love
Hope
And fear are
We as humans cannot begin to comprehend
Time space or the relavance of anything
When we make a mistake
It puts a mark on our lives
When we accoplish something great
It paves our way to success
We try to help anyone
We fail to help everyone
We strive for Peace
We yearn for freedom
And It al...
Stitched
I am made entirely of flaws
Stitched together by good intentions
Boundaries made by a machine
Easily cut by those with shears
Who care more about themselves
Than those just trying to stay whole
I am entirely made of flaws
Stitched together with good intentions
Desperately hoping the flaws you see
Don't drive you away
While hiding the ones that certainly will
Deep inside along the scarred and brok...
Good Intentions
I am made entirely of flaws, stitched together by good intentions.
Cause when I;
Scream I scream so loud, neighbors surrounded by sound-proof walls hear
When I’m angery it’s so prominent, the holes leave a trail
When I’m proud, I boast as if one couldn’t fail
So let’s raise a toast
If a toast is worth toasting
To a passionate kid
Who’s stitching his flaws together.
But oh yea I forgot to mention...
Haircut
I cut my hair
I didn’t care
I wanted a change
I wanted it short
I cut my hair
5 inches today
But then I was like “ hey I don’t like it”
Nay.
I cut my hair
It’s WAY TOO SHORT
I hate it
I want it back long you stupid wart
My hair is now just under my shoulder
It looks like a giant boulder
I cut my hair
Hoodies I will now wear...
Depravity
TW / Christian Theme
——-
I am made entirely
of good intentions
stitched together with flaws
laced by grace through faith
knotted and sewn
with dealthy depravity
hemmed with hellish ambition
tailored in white robes
and soiled linen
with dust and sackcloth
wrapped in hate and rage
shrouded in sin
bound in tainted flesh
filled with blood and soul
saturated in salvation
and wretched self
...
Faded Is Best
‘I am made entirely of flaws,
Stitched together by good intentions.’
Pulled in by your maws,
And bad reflections.
‘I am created by light refracted,
Broken on the church floor’
Hope has been subtracted,
And been shown the door.
‘I am buried in your chest,
Next to your last wish.’
At your own behest,
My soul was your last dish.
‘I am burned in your memory,
Next to the hell we made.’
You would oh ...
Lost
I am made entirely of flaws, stitched together by good intentions.
Intentions are the driver behind all action but somehow I got lost along the way.
Way out in the deep end do I find myself, unable to stay afloat, all expectations becoming too much.
Much thought is given and I am reminded of the stitches.
Stitches that hold me together slowly become undone, the horrible parts of me slipping throug...
