Anything
Today I want to write, but I don’t know what to write about.
I sit here and think, then just decide to start.
I write about what is on my mind: not being able to write.
Things flow in circles, the not being able to write.
I remember the praise from my teachers when I finally succeeded.
I remember my mom, not giving a damn.
I think there’s something inside me that knows who I am.
So far I can’t write, but I don’t give a damn.
I write for myself, not someone else.
I am not a writer, there is nothing to rely upon.
I write what I want, whether it is good or gone.
Eventually my head runs out of ideas and my heart starts to think.
That is when real things start happening; when my brain collapses and all I can feel is my soul.
That is when I write for me, instead of the entire world.
I write in rage or in wonder.
I write of seas and I write of plunder.
Then, suddenly I am surprised when I can’t write anymore.
But I keep going because that’s what life is for.
Explorations
You built the dreams on the etchings of your skin
And even after this, you wouldn't let me in
I trespassed on your dreams and listened to your thoughts
I committed felonies of good things I did wrong
We were just kids, we knew no better
You were never cold, i was bundled in my sweater
Maybe my heart was worn down and beat
But I knew we were friends, and I thought you were one to keep
Our lives are dreams, memories from our horrors
You lived in yesterday, but talked about tomorrow
Who we're gonna be, all the kids you're gonna have
And I'll be living life alone, with hopes I never had
We defined happiness and lived in eachothers' skins
But even after all of this you cannot let me in
I trespassed on your love, I eavesdropped on your thoughts
I did all the right things, but did them wrong.
Flick of a switch (2015)
Abrupt sadness
Depression starts its itch
Just one ordinary moment
At the flick of a switch
Rapid despondency
Getting that emotional glitch
Just a ordinary day
At the flick of a switch
Hasty hopelessness
Depression threw me a wicked pitch
Thought I was feeling whole again
When suddenly the flick of a switch
Unexpected dejection
Quickly getting that hollow twitch
Depression comes like a flash
At the flick of a switch
