Can I ask you
ten thousand questions
with just a few words
and hope for an answer
that'll make some sense?
I don't know where I'm going,
that's okay,
that's alright.
[It always was, wasn't it?
It never mattered
to you (me)
where I went].
I'm drowning.
Does that matter anymore?
I've forgotten the need
for oxygen,
I've forgotten how
to breathe and how
to swim and how
to live.
I only know how
to die and
to sink and
to fall.
But when has that ever been enough?
I'm still alive;
somehow
I've managed
to remember
how to contradict.
It's kind of laughable,
it's kind of sad.
Isn't it?

You want me to save
The person you all see;
I'm dying to save
The girl I'll never be.

Road to Perfection
I saw bones
Etching themselves from my back
Forming two arcs
Like a swan in frightful pain
My once glowing skin
Feigned by the dullness
Of perfection
And skeletal beauty entwined
Mirrors breaking through time
Glass shattering ever so silently
Rose petals scattered on ashen skin
Tormenting scars with their delicate frailty
Wine-stained tears
Trailing from my effete eyes
A path, joined in remorse
By the sorrowful sounds on my lips
A tragedy of consequence
Produced by my integrity
Of what causes me to become a wallflower
Seeking undying beauty in everlasting peace
Tarnished thoughts echoing
Throughout this fragile soul

we're never what we think.
at least twice a day, i find myself wishing i was less.
less of a worrier.
less of a lover.
less of a mess.
all of this would be so much better, if the disconnect between
what i want and what i have would close because then things
would be simple for the first time in years. and i could inhale
without wondering what kind of consequences it will have five
minutes from now. you can only imagine what really goes
through my mind in the time it'll take you to breathe in and
out. now hold it. like i've been holding this thought for months
the girl i was is quickly vanishing.
i've been holding it like a secret on the tip of

This one blew up in my face. It started out as prose and then I sort of forgot how to speak.
Critique it as hard as you can?

I like this, I mean it is so... real. Very good, leave it as is, you mess with it, it will change its awesomeness.
