Just Let Me Breathe

Can I work the job I'm given without drama?

Does my credit report have to be checked every time I put in an employment application?

Will company politics ever die?

Do I have to censor myself for fear that somebody else might not approve of my actions, thoughts or beliefs?

I just want to live, take care of mine and enjoy this life. Yet I'm stressed about social expectations, societal requirements & propaganda that dictates my being.

"We all had delusions in our heads, we all had our minds made up for us. We had to believe in something, so we did."
Forgiven - Alanis Morisette
Jagged Little Pill

Is it too much to not have to second guess what is natural for me? No no, I gotta worry about what everybody else will think and feel about it. Can I be honest to make dialog and possibly learn from it? No no I have to wonder if you will judge me for speaking so candidly.

How the hell am I supposed to live? Unable to share a thought, a feeling, or anything because the world is such a closed, evil judgmental mind. I can't be me cause the society wants me to be like everybody else in some way or another.

I keep trying to free myself from the matrix, yet sometimes I wake up feeling like reality was just a dream.

I Never Knew...

As the sun shines down
I sit trying to figure out
what went wrong, I never knew...
I've beaten myself up, time after time
I don't understand, what did I ever do to you?
You've strung me along, 1 year to be exact
and all this time, I mean all you had to bo was say no
But you kept it going, day after day
letting me believe that you felt a certain way
Now that I've let go, you want to start new
Yet, I will never go back, we're over, it's through
So hear my message, these words from me to you
Happiness is something I thought I never knew......

The Deprivation of Life


Suffocation
Continuing through hardships with no stabilization
Destroying one’s vocality among expressional tendencies
Juggling the volubility of life through a tube of hatred
Diminishes all existence of tranquility and restoration
Possessive increments of anguish along the respiratory system

Prevention
Loss of evolution and all of its aspects
Damaging developmental reconstruction of self
Yielding away the support and purity of other conjugating souls
Vanishing the joy of controlling one’s own life
Putting aside the goodness of becoming self-reliant

Relocation
Negative influential transportation towards devastation
Tainted destination filled with contaminated retribution
Mental vitality killing brain cell after brain cell
Physical fatality destroying from the phalanges to the lateral meniscus
Pushed away from ventilation

Restoration
Purity among self satisfaction that eases all alerted pain
Cleansing the mind, body, and soul away from stressful interactions
Beloved by elaboration upon the theory of life
Anxious to cherish the life given by the almighty King
Happiness stand up to critical unjust words that are washed away by growth of oneself
Restoration is the step to reach upon to systematically take down the “Deprivation of Life"

Dear unknown,
I have been looking forward of entwining my heart with your mind. I want to fall in love with the way you think. I want you to love the fact that I love your genius. Beautiful Under the ultimate stress of everyday life. Love is the beginning of what I want to feel for you. I want my empty emotion to explode with you dynamite impact of unexpected trust. Release yourself and let go of all your thoughts and dream to me and let my absorb you. Where are you? Map out a quest so when I find you the thrill would be more thrilling like when the rollercoaster is about to drop and your sitting at the very top. A pedestal is what I hold the thought of being with you is on, so imagine what level I would hold you on… Unknown like the end of the universe and the center of a black hold. I want to hold you in the face of fear. I want to look impossible in the eye for you and confuse it. I want to hold you and connect our life lines so we can expand our lifetime. Unknown come to me. Follow the Lonely rhythm of my heart. And once you find it, Treasure it like I will treasure you. Unknown come to me. Be part of me like my mind and soul…u see those are things the once my physical is gone it will still remain. Unknown where are you? Come find me. Be beside me. Be part of me. Become one with me. Unknown Love me…
Sincerely,
Anonymous
P.S. write back

Flee©

Go on and runaway when times get hard,
Runaway to a place cold and far.
No matter what I do or plead,
Some how I know you'll always flee.
But remember there will be no coming back,
I have to pay for the emotions you lack.
You gave me high hopes in what we were,
Yet the happy memories seem like a blur.
I still can’t believe how I was such a blind fool,
I wish I could have learned this lesson in school.
All I gave you was affection and lovingness,
But all you gave me in return was defensiveness.
Heartbreak and pain will be all you are good for,
You scratched at my heart with your rusty sharp claws.
No longer shall I bow down to you,
Your life will be empty, so get this clue.
The next guy, yes he will love you,
But in your heart can you ever be true?
Will you do to him what you've done to me?
Will he be blinded by your charm or will he see.
Every lie you spit from your mouth will return to you,
For all those times that you lied and were untrue.
My heart will mend with time,
No more will I be nickled and dimed.
So I'll let your memory run and Flee
To go and corrupt someone who isn’t me.

Dreams



Looking at my life
I don't see where I'm at
All the years of saying I was going somewhere
What happened to all of that?
I'm still in that same town
Still in the same place
Still dreaming the same dreams
Never picking up the pace
Sweet motivation
In the form of a love
Telling me to climb higher
To never give up
Keeps pushing me on
Keeps bringing the sun
Always reminding me
I'm second to none
I can see the things I want
They're right within my reach
All the stars I've wished on
All the knowledge I've received
And still I'm stuck
On this dead end street
In this dead end job
With all the no good creeps
Who keep feeding me lies
Telling me I'll never succeed
I try to block them out
So it's only you I see
My future self
With my future beliefs
I hope I can make it
I'm holding on to my dreams.

Falling

I was sitting on a park bench
When suddenly all of the trees
Started moving in on me
The grass turned brown
And was gone in an instant
I found myself hanging on
To the very branches
That were pushing me into nothingness
The sky faded to black
Leaving me in darkness
Everything was disappearing
Until only one branch remained
I held on for as long as I could
Before that branch began to break
And I was falling...
Falling...
Falling...

I wake up in the morning
I see the sun shining
I watch it from my window
As it slowly rises
Inching over the horizon
Colors strewn across the sky
Like a painter on a canvas
The sun is painting for the world

And it never stops being beautiful
Even when it wants to hide
Behind the clouds of times more painful
It still manages to shine
And even when it feels like crying
There's still a rainbow in it's mind
Leading a path to better tomorrows
Erasing all the yesterdays
And I look to it each morning
I smile for each new day
For each new painting I get to see
For every rainbow on the way.

I am a child
In longing
For my placenta
The thing
In which sustains
Driving magnetism
That makes me breathe
The overflowing invisible water
And lets me
Scream your name
Each night
In the fabulous dreams
Of passion never-ending
And without you
I feel as if
I have been mentally raped
And emotionally sodomized
By Lucifer’s children
As they dance around
Taunting me
In that awful sing-song voice
Over and over again
They chant
As Lucifer watches
From his table
With a evil grin
As he slowly chews away
At the freshly charred flesh
That lies
On a plate of fool’s gold
And he shakes his head
And sighs quietly
As his children come
Horribly closer
Stabbing my already bleeding flesh
With knives
That is as dull
As stale beer
Left on the windowsill
And I curl up
In a ball
And sink into nothingness
All the while
Whispering your name
And longing for your hands
In another field
Which is not mine
As the blazing sun
Comes screaming through
The blood red sky
Scorching my skin
Causing my body
To disembowel itself
In the endless wasteland
And I cry
The tears
Of a child
Who longs
For the life-giving force
That placed
In your hands

I am a child
In longing
For that life-giving placenta
That you took away
When I was ripped
In two
By the fact
You passed over my existence
With attitude so nonchalant
That it is almost amusing
If it didn’t hurt so much
Inside the wasteland
Called my soul
And as Lucifer’s children
Scream obscenities
In my ears
I listen for your voice
In order to save me
And Lucifer sighs
And with a shrug
Whispers
I told you so
As he takes the last little bit
On his plate
Into his mouth
And smiles contently
As I cry tears for you
And I long
To be where you are
