My expectations for life are sky high
Yet somehow I drown
Iām not sure why I even try
When itās always tumbling down
I pretend Iām alright
Like Iām up on the clouds
But I canāt really fly
With both feet on the ground

Yet somehow I drown
Iām not sure why I even try
When itās always tumbling down
I pretend Iām alright
Like Iām up on the clouds

Itās been so long since Iāve felt this way
Iām trying to gather the right words to say
That I miss you
But Iāll try
Because with you I feel safe
Only imagining your hands
Intertwined with mine
Brings me enough comfort
To last me a lifetime
And just laying there with you
Tossed under warm sheets
Tracing my fingers along your skin
As you gently hold my chin
Just gazing into your eyes
As we breath each other in
Thatās where I want to be
With you right here
Next to me
Because itās been so long since Iāve felt this way
And Iām struggling with the right words to say
That I miss you
12/9/17
You know whatās funny
Is I do still blame myself
Even though I know it wasnāt all my fault
I still do it
I guess maybe
Taking responsibility for it all makes things easier for me
Like not holding so much hate in my heart
Because I feel as if I donāt hold that right
It makes it easier to hear people assume Iām going to be an awful person
Because my past was real
Itās also easier to accept the wasted time and energy of our failed relationship
Because itās my fault
But you know whatās funny
Is thatās how itās always been
I let love cloud my better judgment
And now I look like the fool
How many times did I have to say
āIām sorryā
Before you decided it was good enough for you to see the love I had been giving you
Or before you decided to leave
It isnāt my fault you chose to stay
You had plenty of doors
Sympathy is no excuse
Itās not my fault.
It isnāt my fault you didnāt respect me
Or our relationship
Enough to not hurt me too at least
And then place the blame on me
The things I said were stupid
But I never hurt you out of spite
But you know whatās funny
The truth is
We never should have been together
A year later
I still blame myself
You still blame me
And I guess
Thatās my fault
Thatās the reason Iām at war in my head
Still trying to find closure
Finding a place to lay the blame
Going back and forth
Like day and night
It is my fault
It isnāt my fault
But I want this to end
So
Iāll say it again
Knowing you donāt plan to forgive me
Iām sorry
Itās all my fault
But apologizing for something
For something so irrelevant
Something six years old
It has a way of making me feel
Like a fucking monster
Or better yet
Like a little child
āNow say youāre sorry!ā
āIām sorry, Iāll do better!ā
But still face the punishment
Even years later
Is that even fair
āWhy do I deserve this pain?ā
āDo you remember when you hurt me too?ā
So I blame myself
And maybe I should
But tell me
Where is your blame
Where is your apology
Oh wait
My mistake
Itās all my fault
And Iām sorry

āIt couldāve been worseā
He just thought you were pretty
So he called for you across the bar
But you were only there for the $2 margaritas
You opened your phone
And politely ignored him
Which made you a stuck up bitch
And publicly embarrassed you
Because a ānice ladyā wouldāve said
āThank youā
Right?
āIt couldāve been worseā
Heās just very flirty
But heās dating your best friend
So calling you, āBabeā
And giving you forehead kisses as he passes by you
It just doesnāt sit well with you
The comments like,
āDamn, that dress looks sexy!ā
Are just kind gestures
You shouldnāt take it SO serious
Because a ānice ladyā would just say,
āThank youā
But youāre too uptight
And now youāve lost a best friend
Because
āIt couldāve been worseā
He was just playing around
āYou know youād laugh if a girl did itā
But putting his cold hands on your thigh
It was uninvited
And his persistence after your dismay
Was solely because,
āYou should learn to loosen up a littleā
A ānice ladyā wouldāve just laughed
Right?
āIt couldāve been worseā
He wasnāt touching you
You were passed out drunk
How could you even know what happened?
āI didnāt touch that bitch!ā
As he points you out as the bad guy
With your pants, unbuttoned
You know what you felt
But, āmaybe you were just dreamingā
And, āyou had A LOT to drinkā
A ānice ladyā would apologize for the accusations
And believe her friends
But youāre a liar
Because you canāt provide proof for them
But you know what you felt
āIt couldāve been worseā
He was drunk
And so were you
And your attempts at muttering, ānoā
Seemed more like a part of the fun to him
But you werenāt raped
So you should just get over it
And itās fine because you liked him anyways
You were going to eventually let him do it
Why does it matter
A ānice ladyā wouldnāt tell him that he crossed a line
Because your flirting and kissing
It meant you wanted more
And that makes you selfish
Because you led him on
āIt couldāve been worseā
And you know that, too
But that doesnāt make your feelings
Any less true
āIt couldāve been worseā
But just because youāre okay
Doesnāt mean youāre not hurt
11/25
Iāll have nights alone
After days that werenāt so bad
And really I should be taking a bath
Or going to the gym
Or spending time with my friends
But instead I give my depression hours upon hours
Sitting in my bed
Wanting to get up
But being too afraid of what it might make me do if I move
And sometimes Iāll make jokes
Like, āhaha I just want to dieā
And people will joke back
āOh ha, me too!ā
But the only funny thing about it
Is thatās the way I really feel
Most of the time
But itās ironic because life is such a joke
That sometimes joking about my obsession with death actually helps me believe itās not real
Itās like sitting in my car
Listening to some shitty song
And Iām just thinking, āgod this is terribleā
But I listen to it anyways
Because Iām hoping that the next song is something better
It ends up being a commercial or something that only frustrates me more
Depression is like that
Constantly making itself apparent to me
Screaming at me
Anytime I almost feel any sliver of a human emotion
It seeps into my veins like some sort of disease
Taunting me
āHaha you know you canāt get rid of me!ā
The better part of me tries to yell back
āYou got this!ā
And in like the scum bags at a club
Depression whispers in my ear
āI have everything you want. You know I do.ā
But really depression just takes
It has nothing to offer
Except emptiness
It asks for so much from me
And mostly I have nothing left to give
And Iāve hit rock bottom
But rock bottom started hitting back
And Iām just so damn tired
I just want to close my eyes
Because sometimes my dreams are better than reality
But Iām scared to even try
Because all I can think about
Is how much bourbon I need to wash down these pills
So instead
I give my depression hours upon hours
Sitting in my bed
Wanting to get up
But being afraid of what itāll make me do if I move
Here I am
Listening to your every word
Tracing my fingers across your chest
Breathing in every scent of you
Feeling absolutely blessed
Blood rushing to my cheeks
With every kiss you lay
My love for you growing endlessly
Every waking day
Here I am
Losing my grip on you
Fighting every feeling I know is true
Trying to maintain and just push through
Feeling all the pressure
Knowing you feel that way too
And here we are
This is really what itās come to
I canāt even feel the love here now
And itās as if I donāt even know you
How did we even get to this place
Where time, it doesnāt stop
Weāve become stuck in this race
Our final curtains beginning to drop
Going in circles and losing our head
Seems like I hardly feel you here
Until weāre together in bed
Even then you still wonāt touch me
Itās as if Iām ice cold
No matter how hard Iāve tried to keep you here
You were always ready to go
Here I am
Alone, yet again
For the first time in years
Laying my head on a frigid pillow
Puddled in tears
Finding out that I was never as strong as I truly had thought
Drowning that out with whisky and pot
Biting my lip until I feel my skin break
Punching the walls until my hands shake
Missing the moments when all I would do
Was lay on your chest and just be there with you
But here I am
Holding on to whatās left of me
Wishing I would die
Feeling like thereās no where Iād rather be
Praying for someone to save me
And knowing that will never happen
Since Iām always begging to be left alone
And how can I begin to feel any better
When the pain sinks deep in my bone
So Iāll lay here in this tub
And try to fill my lungs with water
Watching life slip from my mind
Feeling my eyes sting with blood
And my chest get hotter
And then I see everything Iāve done
And suddenly, like lightning
It hits me
Life without you does exist
And it has just begun
Here I am
Choosing to live
Accepting every feeling I know is true
Trying to maintain and just push through
Feeling all the pressure
Learning to live and find happiness
Here I am
Without you

9/10/17: You know that moment when You've read more than half of a book And the spine starts wearing thin You realize that it's fragile And with each new chapter bold The pages you have read Begin to loosen and grow old Remember when you were little Young, free and naive We'd try to put it back together With tape and staples we would weave And we though that we'd fixed the pages But all it did was make more holes Causing more and more damage As all the pages grew more old The life of a book is a lot like how life goes Sometimes our seams come loose Despite all that we do to save them Our own threads become our noose Some pages will fall and some may stay So when our story is told Parts of it may not make sense While parts are embellished in gold So they'll see the cover And then they'll see our weak spine They will notice with each turning page It gets weaker with time Once our story is told More often than not We'll be put in a box And we sit there and rot If not Then our story may end up in smoke With each page flame and ash burn away Our story is told No longer today
08/11/2017 Here I am here But not really I'm actually in space Looking down at my life Thinking How did I get all the way up here Why am I so far from reality I want to be Here I am here But not really I'm actually three years back In the arms of someone Who I thought loved me the same Thinking How did I get so warm In the arms of someone so cold And yet I still want to be Here I am here But not really I am sitting in an old friends apartment Watching the ash ripple off my cigarette And feeling tears sting my lips As she puts her arm over my back "This will pass" And I'm thinking How could I not want to be here right now Why would I ever leave Here I am here But not really I'm in my grandmothers house Tracing my fingers along the walls Hiding in my secret place And I hear her warm melodic voice say "Come sit with me" As I'm thinking How do I feel so free and get so lost In such a little home Here I am here But not really I am sitting in the old tree in my back yard After my best friends funeral Ripping off twigs and watching them fall Feeling the sun burn the back of my neck And thinking How did I get all the way up here When my heart is on the floor Here I am here But not really I am actually in the clouds Still stuck in the memory of those I've lost Those who seem to still live More than I ever will Looking down at my life Continuing on Thinking How did I let so much pass me by When I've always been Here
Loss
Without you here Our lives are left with a space Where you should be But sometimes life has ways Of teaching us to hold those we love closer than usual Showing us that weāve been too busy to cherish every moment as if it is the last Your absence makes for an incomplete story We may never have that closure Sadly life continues on after loss It becomes our duty to carry on your legacy To let your light shine through when ours or others are starting to fade And now when the sun rises in the morning We can greet it with, āhelloā We can look up when it rains And hear your sweet voice sing Feel the wind on our neck As we watch it sweep over the grass And imagine your beautiful soul dance around the room Like it had once before You are still here Everywhere In our childrenās faces In voices and songs The air that we breathe We find you all of the time We can feel you still The beautiful angel that you are Placing strength in us all Faith in those of us who sometimes lose it And guiding us everyday back into the memory of you Your infectious spirit could never be forgotten Because it is only what you have done in life That echoes in eternity.

In my blanket
08/08/2017 I think I'm going insane I hope you got what you wanted But what you seem to fail to realize Is that you aren't the first And you probably won't be the last That's my fault The only reason you still bother me Is because I've seen you in my past I've seen you in my ex The one who cheated and lied I've seen you in the man I hate most The one who ignored my consent Proceeded and stole my pride I've seen you in every guy Who has ever crossed the line The ones who've made me this girl All the selfish, boneless swine And I hope whatever In your head That made you say, "this is ok" Is the reason you stay up at night Wishing your life away I hope regret Lays heavy on your chest And your guilt pounds through your head Until the back of your eyes sting With the image of me in your bed And then that lump in your throat It swells and chokes you Whenever you get the urge to call Because the craziest part Is I've seen you before Yet in my blanket I still took the fall I shouldn't let you get to me To be honest I don't think you really do I just hope you found what you wanted in me Just like the others did, too.

I live with my mind in desuetude Moments of happiness and awareness are evanescent A faint murmur whines endlessly in my ear "You're insignificant", it says And the silence that surrounds me only leaves room for it to echo Throughout my life Like a game of pinball Or someone shouting atop a canyon It resonates Almost as if my brain is seduced and entranced by its bitterness Out of control I am clouded by my sonorous thoughts To the point in which I believe them I wish I could just tune into reality like a distant radio station Turning my dial and skipping all of the white noise and depressing, obnoxious and repetitive things I wish to not hear But I can't escape Instead my brain runs through a million stations at once Struggling to get positive reception Tuning into nonsense and things I've heard before over and over again And I can't be fixed Medication only masks the emptiness with a blissful, yet, dead end road And moments of happiness and awareness are evanescent And a faint murmur whines endlessly in my ear "You're insignificant"
