So close

we're so close,
that you're breathing thoughts into my head
and i feel your fears deep in my stomach.
we're so close
i can touch your words, almost.
you're getting too close,
i can taste the scars on your soul.
so i'm slowly drifting away,
unplug your wires and find yourself.
i can't stand to be
your next best thing.

Gravity


trying to find myself, lost in too many faces i show
so soon, too late.
trying to come around, always so small, but now
i'm so quick to forget what i know.
i've lost my mind,
i've gained my confidence
and it's too much to take in one thought.
they've muted, the voices in my head-
i'm back to reality,
lost in what i was supposed to know.  
                     
                          ***


Complete

biting the pavement, again

life never tasted so sweet.

back on my feet,

facing the wind.

fighting shadows, again

blood never tasted so sweet.

writing this piece, all over again,

exposing myself

releasing my fear

revenge never felt so complete.

                             ***

Now

take the spotlight away,
wash my face and clear my thoughts.
i've been flying this high
a million times before,
you're all so small...
well, who's laughing now?
far away, deep down
i'm shifting personas,
i'm on my own now.
there i go, breaking another rule,
i don't care-
i should be so lucky,
they never make me pay.
they taught the mirrors to lie
and now,well,
who's crying now?
