sleep holds silent the failure as I caress neglect. wasted compassion on myself, my utmost concern. I cant shed this skin, as time stands still to reveal ugliness. this is not how I imagined myself, so self absorbed with eyes sealed shut. surrounded by lies to protect myself. protect myself from the truth and live my well-built facade. shrouded with images of self-content. unwillingness to disappoint always leads to disappointment. in our eyes we are what we construct but it never rings true

this portrait, the paint is smeared, its a constant reminder of this image I create. its a constant reminder that everything has changed, im choked by visions of myself, im suffocating. but in our own way we all take this for granted. we all feel alone. as much as we dont like to admit it. we know its true

the road is weighed down by the burden of a thousand different stories, none of which youll ever know as we each head in our own way. and the light races by as we move through the rhythms and the patterns that make up our lives only to be repeated a million times, long after we have faded. as we search for permanence the wind whispers "move faster"

we are all pawns in this. it's not as simple as it appears at a glance. it would be so easy to push blame at one source. but many reivers lead to the ocean. the words we follow, and what we've forced to swallow down, is drowned in half-truths leaving many more questions than we started out with. leading us further from the truth.

Has it come to this? brainwashing students to instil brand loyalty and required by law to stare at slogans. but who's to blame for this lack of funding.

for about three years i've showed myself to you. left the book open on pages no one had ever read. with every mile traveled the distance grew shorter as we lay eyes on strange places. i have learned to embrace my future not slice my fear away. this is what you taught me and it will last long after the feedback has faded away. you gave me the ability to follow my heart. and this will stay with me long after we have "gone our separate ways"

this means everything to me. i've exposed myself to you and you've made me realize i'm not alone. thank you so much for giving that to me. with every word we speak. with every chord we play.
this will stay with me long after we've moved on.

can someone take this burden away from me while i gasp for air and wipe the footprints off my back only to reveal the pain i've caused her. is there something wrong with me? i don't want it anymore.

it's been seven goddamn years and i'm still living with it. you'd think it would have fallen away by now trampled under footsteps long since made, but it still rears it's ugly head turning day to night. and you know what i don't want it anymore.

and you said that maybe someday. we will run into each other soon. I hold onto threads that slip through my hands as this unravels right before my eyes. we chase our dreams and leave the now behind, this is all we have. these streets echo with memories that are not my own, and this is where Ill stay where I belong to be left alone. these lines diverge leading us further away, but these moments must last us through darkened roads and broken homes. I hold this close to my heart and watch as you all fall away, and you said "this is all we have until we go our separate ways."

As we pass through our lives we share pieces of ourselves, hearts and minds. I cannot forget you and all that weve been through (this is all we have), the things we said, the hope we gave as we grew up, "This is all we have until we go our separate ways."

cold needles tear quietly through this breath and I have yet to feel. soft whispers so as not to wake you from this rest and I try to grasp youre not coming back. this coldness has taken your place and we hold onto the tears and we hold tightly to these years. I search for a way to live with this knowledge and you searched for a way to say goodbye. this air is stifling and the thoughts produced suffocate the will. you dont look like yourself, this is not who you are, you are much stronger then what lies before me. was the pain to great? I know that you missed her so you collapsed through fear you left us in mystery until we die

I cant believe that youre gone, you were apart of my life and now even that seems so far away, I feel you, youre with me

I never meant to hurt you I got lost in dreams, but please I couldnt bear to lose you. I was there, I was alone, I was there and Im never going back. stare at ceilings and run your hand against this wall to hold back your tears. I place my hand inside yours, it never felt this cold. I can still hold onto those days before the tears washed traces away, and I am sorry I broke these pictures, but please dont push me away. I left that place. I could not survive. but I never meant to abandon you. and I can still feel your breath on my neck. so let your breath out, close your eyes, hold your hands out and say goodbye

I held on for as long as I could to dreams that were my life and Im afraid I cant return. so ill try to slip away from reality

You held this picture next to yours and cried, on the impossibility, you choked, and shield your eyes from the light. deny the truth to yourself, the mirror lies and you tear yourself apart. you cannot fit this mold. you pray to change (and are answered with) silence. there is no recognition. in time you will realize there is more then just their smiles. in time the sets will come crashing down on you. in time you will realize that I cannot live your (dream) Im not here to tear you down I just want you to realize that you are beautiful

can you define beauty? because it seems its already been defined for us. the pictures, theyre everywhere, you couldnt look away even if you tried. ninety percent of it isnt even real, its retouched and altered, your eyes, your beautiful inside, please dont do this to yourself.

she stands true to herself, the same person as always. yet you spoke phrases that ended in words like forever. and I cant understand how this affects you. I guess ill never understand how this affects you. she stands true to herself and your afraid of what people say. or is it more than that? has all of this meant nothing? she cant change who she is, you cannot change who you are, I cant change who I am, who are you to judge, she cannot change

nothing has changed except for your perception. she still stands the same alone and strong. I thought I remembered promises and I still dont understand how this affects you. she stood through all our petty melodrama and you just turn and forget. nothing has changed since the day that you met her except for you. her love feels just like yours and you (think you) can judge whats pure. its funny how two words can change four years. so find your strength from inside.

if I started again I could reconstruct and I think I could make the pieces fit. I could stand from afar and nothing would be missing. instead of staring at you all as if Im watching a movie, waiting for my character to make their triumphant ending, but Im still waiting, yes Im still waiting. so I will wear the scars of a life of wishing until the screaming makes my ears bleed. "live for yourself not for your fear." If we could only act as we know is right.

I know is through no fault of my own, but I still feel mad at myself for letting that moment pass. now I will
carry this on my back and learn to grow from this at the same time.

stop and brace yourself because this is going to hurt, brick walls dont bend, (struck by) the realization that this road ends, ill hold my breath and wait for whatever it is that Ill get in return for all my years of letting go. I hope that its worth it. so forget about all of your "maybes" and "somedays" and settle in to a life of staring into the eyes of just getting by. collapse into the arms of defeat.

does innocence die at age 21? surrounded by walls of expectations. the working class greets with open arms, and as I embrace my memory fades. where did the past three years go? as I look back all I see is just a shadow of who I used to be. now I feel like just another face in the crowd.

they gave me a sense of security, but whats my purpose? my life, it fades away . now im nothing. your money is not my life, this is my life and you can't take that away. you pay me, I cannot grow numb, this is my life. (its not worth my time, its not worth my life) sean: we are losing years off our lives. this path has been conceived in stone too carefully mapped out for you to back out now. I hope youre happy climbing ropes but I cannot help but feel that you can barely breath I hope you're happy chasing dreams, and look at you now you can barely breath. so move back from the door youre not going through. were made to feel stuck controlled by our fear. when youre done dying remember our dreams because this is not what we planned, this is not what we planned WE LIED, WE LIED, REPLY, REPLY (whats funny is) only pain will greet your money

I think there was supposed to be some sort of affection, but you surrounded yourself with your self-indulgence, and I hid in shadows and learned to lose respect. through explanations and accusations I watched you struggle with your conscience, but you have a knack for justifying yourself. your importance does not seem so important anymore
