Thanks For Listening

Thanks for Listening

I write songs but no one listens  I write poems no one reads  A secret show with just one ticket  these words are dancing just for me 

Oh, is this self doubt or sweet wisdom?  to play for no one but the sun  Don’t need the oohs and aahs of others  at my eternal party of one 

My imperfect poetry, I write you in invisible ink My pitchy melodies, I sing at the lowest frequency  but if you can hear me... thanks for listening 

The thrill of writing a new sentence  dreaming up syllables that sing  Don’t need a chorus line behind me  I found a friend in all these keys 

Oh, is this self doubt or sweet wisdom?  I tell myself don’t overthink I pour out my soul to these four walls give them all of my secrets to keep

My imperfect poetry, I write you in invisible ink My pitchy melodies, I sing at the lowest frequency  but if you can hear me... thanks for listening 

Am I moving forward or standing still?  Is it fear of failing or am I chill?  I tell myself it’s not that deep  so I play in secret just for me 

But if you can hear me... Oh, if you can hear me... If you can hear me... thanks for listening

why are we the villans ?

why not her?

why is she our mother nature,

when she has always tried to tear us apart ?

why are we the villans?

why do we think that mother nature protects us,

when all her efforts were to end us?

i wonder why

why do we assume nature to be on our side.

[FYI; For Your Eyes Only]

Good morning. I’m back home. I’m taking in my rolls today, in case you want to keep avoiding me. Message received I guess, not real friends. Just unfollow me, all three. It’s weird, the flipping, but I’m not tripping. I’m busy. No hard feelings. Take care of yourself, bee. I’ll try to take care of me.

Sometimes people leave you

Questioning all of your instincts

Because you thought you knew

You thought you felt it

You thought you could trust yourself

You thought it was real

And then reality stepped in and showed you

An entirely different view

A painful view

A view you do not care for

A view you cannot unsee

And it hurts

And it bleeds

And you need someone to blame

So you blame yourself

This is how people get lost

This is how I got lost

“i feel safe with you”

are the last words she uttered to me
before i’d finally embraced
the void.

I can be your guardian angel. I can be
your solace, a reprieve from it all;
either that or
your ruin in waiting —
what are you waiting for?

i will tell you, my impatient heart —

you are nothing but a rampant disaster,
committing atrocities against the people
you love; do you really love them?

you are nothing but a monster
wearing human skin,
deceitful, dishonest, and crude.

I am nothing but a wandering dreamer,
a soul floating in limbo,
my heart lost in the fields,
looking for a shepherd.

"i feel safe with you."

Good luck.

-

I've spent so much time being sad,

For things I should have held anger for.

Let me hear you say my name,

Beg for my forgiveness.

My absence will rot within you,

My ghost will haunt hallways you've yet to discover.

You fell in love with my mercy,

What about this rage?

I've cried my last tear,

And I am unashamed of the way I begged-

It is, however,

Your fucking turn.
