Its always foggy here It's there every morning like a crow on a white picket fence "I love this place" You don't care Or maybe you do I'm not sure lately. How am i? Oh.. I've been alright As far as lives go i guess mine's doing pretty good Somehow you're always there... Like a crow on a white picket fence I know it's there and i sometimes wish it would fly away but i'd be different without it. I wanna call you Nicotine Or alcohol Or memory Or regret Or fear Or hope I wanna call you And tell you i'm sorry I wish i didn't notice time passing, you know Wish i didn't notice daylight flood through the blinds like a wave crashing then setting in then going back into the ocean, becoming night I wish i didn't notice holidays But it's always there. Like these scars.. A crow on a white picket fence

This poem made me want to get up tomorrow

[chrisleja]

There’s a used condom on the street, which doesn’t remind me of you, exactly, but it doesn’t distract from your absence either.

It’s possible I’ve been unemployed for too long. No one has touched me in days. I swallowed the fiction of doors and the fact

of their aftermath—once, I belonged in a...

If you have anxiety trying taking deep breaths in sync with this. It’s very relaxing.

Happy mess

Remember that time that I made you so mad Last week right ha ha you know that It's not like it's all that rare So put it here and let me cherish the embarrassment I realize I've been a dick head yes And I respect how you question your investments I take the plane but it ain't to be impressive It feels like a cop out to label it lessons I've been though the rain but I've put other people through a hurricane just to work the game Some time I swim through so much shame I think my little man's blessed that he didn't get my last name And here you are right in front of me  offering it all like tell me what you want from me I wanna love you today and forever Let me clear my through and rub my wings together  I'm not perfect but I'm this that and this My hands are dirty and I'm this that and this You've been searching for this that and this Let's break the surface and make a little happy mess Whoo girl, you're the most beautiful thing I've seen Enticing, exciting Even the sound of your voice gotta nice ring Ya seem like the type that might help me tighten up my pipe dreams We can keep digging through this dirt Team up, you and I against the universe Think about it, What cha say to yourself You can wear my cape and I can play with your belt The truth is there now Stand with me, look into that mirror now And tell me you don't see the same image Gonna be a brand name babe once the rain is finished I can't believe she got me on a ball and chain It's not a complaint, I appreciate it For all the dumb mistakes I make  I'm surprised baby girl ain't threw me away I never meant to hurt no one I just want to stay productive till the work is done I dance to a certain drum but when I fell off beat you didn't turn and run, no You see me at my lowest moments You gave me sight when I had broken focus With a smile that opens up like a rose does Even when it all seemed so fucking hopeless And here you are, right in front of me Offering it all like 'tell me what you want from me' I want to thank you today and forever Let's make a little happy mess together You know

if i was

If I was a rich man I'd buy you some shoes Tall boots for all the dirt you walk through What would that do? Enable you to deal Without schooling you on how to touch what's real And if I was a smart man I'd tell you everything that I knew And give it to you every time you need a talking to But what would that do? Teach you my guidelines So you can be a cheerleader at your game on the sidelines And if I was a driver I'd keep my headlights on To see the difference between right and wrong I'd wear my seatbelt even when I'm in park Cause I don't trust the other fools that cruise through these parts And if I was a better cook I'd hook up a feast Set a table full of food for the children to eat I encourage the nourishment so we can breathe With the knowledge that we got something accomplished And if I was Santa Claus, I'd fight for the cause Wouldn't expect nothing in return I'd give you everything you want, I'd be everything you need So you can take my hand and I can take the lead And if I was an honest man I would stop writing songs I'd break for a nervous breakdown for breakfast Tell everyone I knew to stay away from making music It ain't nothing but a confusing mess  And if I was you, I wouldn't hear a word I said Wouldn't trust nothing to start it up inside my head I'd make a conscious effort to live instead Of trying to kill the monsters that reside underneath the bed And if I was a hurt man I'd find a way to put my faith Into a woman that could take me from today Maybe I need somebody that could save me From the parts of myself that keep making me crazy And if I was a wise man I'd climb to the top of the mountain peak To think about strength versus weakness I'd find a point that rests a couple of feet above your head And figure out how I could try to help you reach it And if I did have a choice I'd never want to live forever Just let me have a voice so I can make my points I can't imagine running a race with no finish line Just let me keep my pace and make to most of my time I love giving but I'm bad at receiving The truth is, I'd prefer to be the one bleeding But I'm a paranoid that stays between play and work Cautious and aware, 'cause I'm afraid of being hurt Which brings me to the issue And that would be this: How often must I ask myself why I exist? I feel like a freak, this world is a circus Just trying to find myself as well as my purpose

Fuck you lucy

She said that she still wants a friendship She can’t live her life without me as a friend I can’t figure out why I’d give a damn to what she wants I don’t understand the now before the then

Most of this garbage I write That these people seem to like Is about you And how I let you infect my life And if they got to know you I doubt that they would see it They’d wonder what i showed you How you could leave it A friend in Chicago said that I should stay persistent If I stay around I’m bound to break resistance Fuck you, Lucy, for defining my existence Fuck you and your differences

Ever since I was a young lad With a part-time dad It was hard to find happiness inside of what I had I studied my mother I digested her pain And vowed no woman on my path would have to walk the same Travel like sound across the fate ladder I travel with spoon to mix this cake batter And i travel with feels so i can deal with touch It’s like that Thank you very much Fuck you very much

Fuck the what happened I got stuck They can peel pieces of me off the grill of her truck Used to walk with luck Used to hold her hand Fell behind and played the role of a slower man I wanna stand on top of this mountain and yell I wanna wake up and break up this lake of hell I feel like a bitch for letting the sheet twist me up The last star fighter is wounded time to give it up On a pick it up mission Kept it bitter Getting in a million memories just to forget her The difficulty in keeping emotions controlled Cookies for the road Took me by the soul Hunger for the drama Hunger for the nurture Gonna take it further The hurt feels like murder Interpret The eyes Read the lines on her face The sunshine is fake How much time did i waste? Fuck you, Lucy, for leaving me Fuck you, Lucy, for not needin’ me I wanna say fuck you Because i still love you No, I’m not OK And I don’t know what to do

Do I sound mad? Well I guess I’m a little pissed Every action has a point Five points make a fist You close ‘em You swing ‘em It hurts when it hits And the truth can be a bitch But if the boot fits I got an idea You should get a tattoo that says “Warning” That’s all, just a warning So the potential victim Can take a left and safe breath And avoid you Sober and upset in the morning I wanna scream “Fuck you, Lucy!” But the problem is I love you, Lucy So instead I’m gonna finish my drink and have another While you think about how you used to be my lover

Save the day

From the fifth floor, I schedule my meeting with the moon  Stress, let it go, so it don't completely consume.  When the vegetables fight back, and the grass starts to sting  I yell up to Heaven to get me the hell out of this dream  I fell out of my stream of self-consciousness  And I've got welts on my mind to signify all my accomplishments.  No matter whose math you use to count to ten,  Progress will never rest in the hand that has no head.  Bought my brain a cane and asked it to be my pimp  You know, to make sure I don't stuck up in my fuck-ups  A little over anxious I was to bust nuts,  And find the answers making love, out of a canvas full of touch-ups  I dipped my brush into the what, I've wept for  And wonder out loud as I can, how long I've slept for  I should rob a pet store, let the dogs wild  I should close all the schools just to make the kids smile  Seize the limit, let the sky be the moment  Put the key to the ignition I'ma ride these donuts  And when it breaks, lock the door, walk away  There won't be nothing else to talk about, nothing left to say  Let's stand on the corner, throw rocks at people  So there's no surprises, written off as evil  I sleep next to women that I don't deserve  They like to hurt my pride, while I work their nerves  Once upon a time it was worth it when the urges get fed  And the purpose finds a path to the surface  Is respect considered a breakfast food?  I'm guilty of the type of attitude that wrecks your mood The truth can be pain, and I hate to do it  Either face the music, or get away from me stupid  Super glue it down, now it better not move  See I'm not the best, but I'm in the top two  And I'm not that friendly when this cup is empty  It's a side effect from trying to find the fucks that sent me  See I didn't just happen, I was made this way  By the same egomaniac that paved this way  See I'm just waiting for the moment I can break away  The only reason that I stay so I can save the day  I'm just waiting for the moment I can break away  The only reason that I stay so I can save the day  See I gave up lying, but I still tip-toe  I'm as stubborn as they come, and I'm known to hit low If I had a chisel  I would carve out a hole for me to hide in every time the mighty wind blows  Since no one knows, where the hell we gonna go  I'm a stand right here until the end of the show  I'm a clap my hands, so don't pass the chance  To unsnap my pants, get on my lap and dance  No longer am I mad about the things I don't have  All I'm living for is love and laughs  The last star fighter's weapons were rendered useless  So we pulled the scissors and cut the cord to end this music.

Caterpillar

I Believe in Murphy's law. Anything that can go wrong will go wrong I hadn't really thought about it that long but I guess that night you were blasting ice cube and told me to stay strong really was your swan song I think you also believe in Murphy's law because that night you shot off that gun I know you hoped for the worst. And sure enough it quenched your thirst when that shot entered though the bottom of your mouth first and out the top of your head it burst Like a volcano releasing all your anger and melancholy in one jet d'eau. I find it disappointing that the only other person to know what was going on in your head was that bullet And I still don't get why and how you pulled that trigger the way you pulled it. But I've secretly believed you did it for me Yeah, you did it for me It doesn't make this poem easier to write but maybe that night when lead shattered your skull like a meteorite it was your way of telling me there's a way out of this blight,right? But you didn't do it so i would do the same You escaping was your way to tell me to never give up the fight You Gave up because you agree it's sad that we can barely keep these kids above the ground and when we do it's only because they're hanging by a rope You did this to tell me there is always hope I believe in Murphy's law, anything that can go wrong will go wrong but things can always get better I believe in miracles I believe in your blood-stained NWA sweater You showed me every day i'm alive is a day i choose to be alive Why should we hate ourselves when we can hate school, our parents, the sound people make when they eat, the fucking smell of athlete feet And the fact that I still wake up in the middle of the night screaming your name. I believe there's a reason that your heart died last Its because our love for you was like a billion rubber bands holding you there and the weight you put on our souls made them snap,one by one. The next morning, I didn't want to see the sun. I didn't want to hear the song the blue Jays sung I just hoped they didn't eat the caterpillars Because you're like a caterpillar, of all the little things Death is only your cocoon, and wherever you go, You'll have wings.

The veins in her hand spread in every direction Like the wires in a computer connecting her brain to her heart and her heart to her fingertips and her fingertips to mine Whenever we touch her smile never fails to shine it lights up like a neon sign what we have is electric We've created our own style of rhetoric That dodges the bad situations and amplifies the good times rolling waves of jealousy for what we have acquired But we have no fear for the eternal envy we have inspired. She leans into me like a broom leans on a closet door Not because it's strong but because that's what it's there for To be honest, I don't know what I look for in a girl I just know what I've found and what we're founding Saying "I love you" take exactly 1.4 seconds but proving it takes a lifetime. Love is when the other is your lifeline When I can describe what her version of heaven would be When the little things are the only ones you see Love is the way they wear their hat or their favourite voice inflexion When there's a sense of constant progression Dance with me in that thought for a while The others will try and convince you I don't love your smile They'll try to pretend I've never kissed you beautiful They'll call our happiness a pharmaceutical Anger will make them strong But love can make us powerful This world is made up of people gone sour full of hatred is a Poison they take hoping that others will die If this is real prove your humanity and let me be your captcha in the rye Please don't let us die Do not let us die.
