Poem:
Something's on my mind.
I feel a little nauseous,
my hands are shaking,
I can't fight my fears,
I thought I found a way out.

My mind just leaves out all the bad parts,
my throat is getting dry,
my heart is racing,
I need a place to hide,
but I can't find one near.

Skin to bone,
heart made of glass,
I'm torn to pieces.
I wanna feel alive,
something I've never known,
how it feels to have a heartbeat.

The brambles of my strength are hidden by the shadows of fear's lurking nevers.
Never succeeding,
Never seeing them again,
Never getting another chance,
Never improving.

She turned me down, now I live my nightmare

She finally found someone out there

Now I sit here in a reflection chamber

Waiting eternally for a savior.

Under its hands I am a pawn

I never saw it until she was gone

What really mattered wasn’t a dream

It was too late to be redeemed

My entire being is a costume

Each day entering the changing room

Little did I know

She did not want a faux

I used to rule the world

She would rise when I gave the word.

Now in the morning, I sleep alone.

At least now I know.

I’ve grown.

# data[].attributes.body
She'd turn the rain to a rainbow,
on a Sunday, through the blue.
Why then, if she is so perfect,
do I wish that it was you?

'Cause I try, to fall for her touch,
but I'm thinking of, the way that it was.
Running in circles, coming up tails,
It's such a shame for us to part.

Tell you I'm sorry. Tell you I need you.
You were the love of my life.
It's unfortunate. Just coordinates.
It's not the same anymore.

Maybe one day you'll be lonely,
let's go back to the start.
Maybe you'll start slipping slowly,
and find me again.

Pacing round - the neighborhood
Trying not to say a word
Underneath the bridge
Taking my sulking to the masses.
Cause they don't have any feelings
Tarp has sprung a leak
Tears as sweet as cedarwood
Seeing the beauty through the -
Pain!
I'm fired up and tired of the way that things have been
I know the bloomin' don't come without rain
Inhibited, limited 'til it broke open and rained down
It rained down
Can't be bothered, could be worse
Retrace all my previous steps.

Call me icarus, I guess I flew too close to the sun.

You can watch all the hate coming out of a generation.

I see familiar faces I would like to forget,

But at the end of the day, it’s a human trait

Running in our blood, running through our veins.

We live we die, we steal, we kill, we lie

You’re in for a surprise, i’ve been lying to the liars

# data[].attributes.body
I won't make assumptions

They buy you nice things

And they say pretty words

I’m only seventeen, I don’t know anything

I won’t make assumptions

But I know I miss you

Standing in your cardigan

Stopped at a streetlight

I was walking home on broken cobblestones

I won’t make assumptions

Our rights, our wrongs

A moment, a love

The only thing I want to do

Is make it up to you

And it’s finally sinking in

But I won’t make assumptions

You float like a feather

Your skin makes me cry

You can dance

You can jive

You come to look for a king

But I'm a creep

I'm a weirdo

Say it ain't so

Looking out for a place to go

Something is bubbling

Is giving' me chills

run, run, run, run

What am I doin' here?

# data[].attributes.body
You have a cold heart.

You're reckless. Distant.

You’re also a strange sight, that is some new kind of wonder,

With good hidden under.

Lost in the darkness

You’re like a soldier wounded in a battle, that must give up the fight,

But If you lose yourself, your courage soon will follow.

Choose to find your center,

Because then you are sure to succeed

Because you are as swift as a river,

While possessing all the strength of a raging fire,

And you can be as mysterious as the dark side of the moon.

Strange how I'm drawn to the danger,

So I will understand you.

I'll reach out my hand to you.

Songs:
Cinnamon Girl - Lana Del Rey
Mrs. Potato Head - Melanie Martinez
Nobody - Mitski

all the pills i did,
and i know, no one will save me.
it's such a waste,
is it true that pain is beauty?

i'm at my highest peak
and still, nobody wants me.
there's things I wanna say to you,
but better not to keep.

baby soft skin turns into leather,
will a pretty face make it better?
i'm just asking for a kiss,
and a thousand dollars for some compliments.

i've been big and small,
and still nobody wants me,
hold me, love me, touch me, honey
be the first who ever did.

# data[].attributes.body
I love you the first time.
All your perfect imperfections,
You're my end and my beginning.
I tried to be chill
you're so hot that I melted,
All of me
Loves all of you

There's no need to complicate
Our time is short
This is our fate and I'm yours
Look into your heart and you'll find love love love love

Cause I give you all of me, and you give me all of you.
He hit me and it felt like a kiss
He hurt me but it felt like true love
I love you the last time.

# data[].attributes.body
Someone to talk to for hours

Someone to tell you, "You're beautiful"

Someone to bring you peace

And now im pacing back and forth

Wishing you were at my door

I'd open up and you would say, "Hey"

There I was again tonight

Forcing laughter, faking smiles.

Same old tired, lonely place

Lonely even when the room is full

I'd trade it

I would trade it all,

For you.

Please don't be in love with someone else.

Please don't have somebody waiting on you.

Feet, big or small (sometimes appall) come in different sizes for some and all
Socks cover feet to bring them heat and keep them neat
Shoes, colorful,adjustable and down right lovable

Fear:
The scary clown wears a clown and terrorizes a town
The darkness seeps in slowly and unholy, the light leaves lowly and lonely
Voices of whispers from ghosts who have come back to boast
As the harsh wind rushes though, the frigid air seeps through

# data[].attributes.body
When the sun and moon eclipse as one.
The feast has begun.
Red crying faces cover the sky and floor. They emerge from the ocean shore.

Cold shivers crawl up my spine as it crawls down my arm
I look at the wasps above me and wonder if they'll do harm
Heads covered in eyes
Delicate wings buzzing as it flies
It's a fear that I'm too afraid to tell.

# data[].attributes.body
a wave of fear -
and suddenly i am a child again,
shivering in the snow,
feeling like i've trapped a hummingbird in my chest
and scraped my tongue across concrete.

The dark of the night keeps me awake
8 long legs crawl, thinking about it makes my mind shake

The thought of death clouds my mind
The fear of being alone, makes my teeth grind

# data[].attributes.body
if i die now,
ill miss out on the fun.
the thrill of letting loose,
and bathing in the sun.
swimming in the pool,
or basking in the moon.
fear of the unknown,
harms the alone.

In a deep pit, suppressed by the darkness, I am held captive. Lonely in this state and stuck in this space, I am lost. Struck with fright and little might, I am locked away. The key is invisible and thrown away, not to be seen another day.

# data[].attributes.body
I choke on leaves and pebbles
As the soil fills my grave
I let my head sink deeper
And I know I won't be saved

My legs become immobile
And I fear time's almost done
I close my eyes and take a breath
With the darkness, I am one

# data[].attributes.body
The unknown, my greatest weakness.
It lives so far, yet so close.
The void, engulfs me in bleakness.
It fears me, this eternal struggle.

# data[].attributes.body
Trembling, shaking, stressing.
Fear.
Fear of love, loss, loneliness.
Fear of things we cannot control.

My enemy.

The eight legged beast.

Courage is what I sought, bravery is what I needed.

Tissue in hand, spider in sight, murder in mind.

I can do this, I can kill my enemy.

Torture trapped television
Our prey act like venison
The trimmings full of flesh and organs spread
The snake starves of organ and flesh dead
Remember the saying of this
Fear the vita carnis

I stopped wearing my bomb suit yesterday.
Life gives us more wounds than a bomb ever could. Now since no one wears a bomb suit to protect themselves from the dangers of life, then why should we wear one to protect ourselves from death?

Life kills you every day, a bomb will only kill you once.

Fear

A place that is noiseless, defeats the dark
No music, no talk, no footsteps that walk
Alone and afraid in the nature of quite
Where is hope in a world that is silenced?

# data[].attributes.body
What am I without a home
A home to call my own
And even though my home didn’t love me back
I cherished it and refused to let it go
Because what am I without MY home.

Do I belong?
It's making me anxious
Tears roll down my face
I retreat into crippling isolation

Your will,
Shackled.
Your senses,

the fear of failure
is simply a waste

4 things you must know about when I look into your eyes

# data[].attributes.body
You step on me
You use my strengths
I am pained by you.
You run and focus on the exhaustion in your breathe instead of I
You dance and focus on your extensions instead of I
I am a tool you use
But I am you, so it's fine I excuse

# data[].attributes.body
My toes tango with the dust.
My talons tear apart.
A day full of rust,
only to restart.

My sole drains out.
My heel heads in.
A whimper, a shout,
only to begin.

The life, not worth it.
The strife, no permit.
A foot is the one,
who bears all the grit.

# data[].attributes.body
I walk, run, skip
With these stable, strong, dependable feet of mine
My feet endure the long, mighty, violent journey to my destinations
They are the base of my body, the oxygen to my lungs, the tic to my toe

# data[].attributes.body
You walk on me day and night

I struggle the further we go

You rely on me most days

Yet provide me with the same old shoe soles

I constantly feel on fire

I ache, wither, and groan

I wish you'd give me some proper pamper

After all I've carried you as you've grown

No more will I take this agony

Why wont you hear my cries

I’ll halt all our journeys

Until you put an end to my demise

# data[].attributes.body
You do a lot of things alright,
but always with some sort of fight.
Although you get me from A to B,
and stay a sturdy base for me.

You whine that you're tired and sore,
that having fun is such a chore.
Days of walking is such a pain,
if all you do is whine and complain.

In exchange, I bring you socks and shoes,
together I know we'll never lose.
I'll always walk, climb, dance with you,
together we'll run, skip, jump too.

# data[].attributes.body
I'm repeatedly stomped all day every day.
Could you be a little gentler?
You've used me roughly.
You've used me recklessly.
You've used me carelessly.
Could you give me a break?
Could you at least not put me in those open caskets you call shoes?
It's scary and dark and mysterious in there, yet you put me in there without a care.
I just want some peace, is that too much to ask for?
Maybe put me up on the couch for a while, it's better than being smushed on the tile.

# data[].attributes.body
Their feet in the air
Not a care to spare
I watch with my eyes
O, their feet I despise

# data[].attributes.body
To the foundation of my being,
I thank you for allowing me to stand,
Tall and Proud.
To the helping hands on life's tightrope,
I thank you for keeping me,
Balanced.
To the mycelium of nerve endings on my sole,
I thank you for connecting me,
to Mother's soil,
Grounded.
To the sensations of,
Scorching sands, miraculous mud, and freshly-mown grass,
I thank you for,
The essence of nature.

# data[].attributes.body
You tell me your eyes are up here, my love that may be true.
If only I could stop thinking about your feet and the things they can do.

Your perfect toes are like no other,
your nails, perfectly aligned.
those piggies remind me of my mother,
the way their imperfections are impossible to find.

And all my friends say I'm too invested, my love that's how it always goes.
But life has taught me a valuable lesson.

It's toes before bros.

# data[].attributes.body
My dear feet
Keeps me going
Through the burning heat

My dear feet
The haste you provide
Gives my body fleet

My dear feet
You make me an athlete
Without you, I can't compete.

# data[].attributes.body
Hideous were their feet,
sweating from the heat.
Overgrown was their toenails,
their skin slimy and wet like snails.
On my knees, I fell,
suffocating and choking by the smell.
Oh how I begged,
Oh how I cried.
Begging them to wash their unclean feet,
for the putrid smell makes it hard to breathe.
Tears rolled down my heated face,
wishing to escape this stinky space.
To that I passed away with disgust and grace.

# data[].attributes.body
My feet
Help me travel
Into the future
Or through a time long passed
I can't seem to acknowledge
How far they have taken me
Until they are numb

# data[].attributes.body
I hate how you look, I hate when you're bare
Even when it's warm, I wear socks and shoes so people don't stare
You never see the sun's light
Because I hide you from my sight

# data[].attributes.body
The foot is a creation
That has led to speculation
About who or what made such an odd-looking creature

When I sat in contemplation
I had a revelation
That feet exist to make us human

Our feet let us explore
Our feet let us stroll
Our feet let us soar
Our feet make us whole

Our feet let us experience the world

# data[].attributes.body
Never ending journeys
Back and forth we went
Up stairs, up mountains
Walking everywhere and anywhere
Always together

The years flew by as fast as the consequences arrived
Sores, cramps, sprains, pains
No longer going up stairs or mountains
Settling for elevators and pictures
Rolling in a wheelchair
Back and forth
Till the journey ends.

# data[].attributes.body
Feet, oh feet, how you carry me so

Through streets and fields, to and from

You take me places far and close

And keep me moving with each stride

You're strong and sturdy, yet so light

A wondrous weapon, you can't be beat

You dance and jump, you skip and run

A joyous expression of life and fun

Oh feet, how often we take you for granted

Until we're in pain, and our movements are stunted

But even then, you never fail to strive

To keep us moving, and feel alive

How incredibly grateful I Am for you

# data[].attributes.body
I love my feet.
My feet take me places.
They can carry me across the street
and leave no traces.

I can decorate them with shoes of whichever I choose.
I can wiggle my toes and see how it goes.
They can also be bare if I dare.

They can carry me across the street
and leave no traces.
My feet take me places.
I love my feet.

# data[].attributes.body
Feet, feet, glorious feet.
They take us to get meat
At Nofrills. They can't be beat.
But they can't stand heat,
So shoes become neat.
All in all, they're a wonderful feat.

# data[].attributes.body
Everyday you stand for hours

Forgetting I have a mind of my own

The pain, the agony, the torment you put me through

All for those ratty little kids

Everyday you stand for hours

You pace around and jump around

Bruising me on the numerous different textures

Without ever apologizing to me

Everyday you stand for hours

I grow bumps, and bruises, and scratches

And I cry for help

And you don’t answer

Everyday you stand for hours

I wish you’d give me a break

A break to breathe, a break to rest, a break to take care of myself

Everyday you stand for hours

I wish you’d put the same effort into my health

As you do the entertainment

All for those ratty little kids.

# data[].attributes.body
Throbbing pain erupts,
a mere echo of a heart beat.

No one talks about how much walking sucks,
a "globally friendly resort" they say.

I prop my feet up on my sofa,
tender and sore pain shoots up my leg.
Tylenol is my saving grace,
delaying the pain as I lay.
