No one

When you grow up
Relying on yourself
And only yourself
With no one to soften 
The blows 
You turn into 
An adult
With an impenetrable
Shell 
And then you wonder
Why 
No one understands you

Savage

The days where I wonder if I’ll snap
Are always the same
The same level of monotony 
The feeling like I am a robot
A machine
You plug me in, and I play

The days that I realize that I’m this robot
Are always different 
I push back
I fight 
If there was video of my mind
It would be ravaged with your blood 

Fuck you

More

I don’t know why I should get out of bed
Anymore
Not even the wind in the trees can entice me
Anymore
The birds dancing with the fallen leaves
Don’t sing to me
Anymore
The sun exposes itself between bouts of rain
Yet still I lay here
Forever more

Moth

A moth danced in the train car today
It flew out from under the seat
Straight to the light 
Where it bounced from light to light
Walked along the grates
Dove down over head
But always back to the light
Where it could never stay 
Never long enough to enjoy 
So frantic, the moth 
It can’t even appreciate
The only thing it wants

Pebbles

I am the reflection in a pond
Dark
Beautiful
Bleak
Composed
And I will ripple apart 
With the smallest of pebbles
