You Have to Help Me Cut Them Off

Tears slide down my face
As I rest upon your shoulder
Please hold my rigid body in place
Before my mind begins to smolder.

I have never been able to fit the mold
My mind is splitting in two
Your heart is one that is made of gold
And I feel that mine will just not do.

Life is moving very fast
I feel I cannot move
Please hold me tight and make it last
When will this condition improve?

Please help me through the vines in which I am entangled
Please help me for I am being strangled.

 


I Carry a Darkness Within Me

Breathing water through my nose
But it feels like air
No pain has arose
As I try to rip out my hair.

Seconds later I feel not a thing
As I try to make some sense
I never know a damn thing
A horrible pretense.

I find comfort in the dark
I can’t find the motivation
Everything's become so stark
How do I solve such a complex equation?

I wish I could be more
But it's hard when I am constantly at war.

 

 

Why Don't You Dry the Water Off Your Back

Why don't you dry the water off your back
The small drops mockingly glisten
As my pet peeves attack
Sometimes I wish you’d just listen.
