"Sober"

And I don’t know

This could break my heart or save me

Nothing’s real

Until you let go completely

So here I go with all my thoughts I’ve been saving

So here I go with all my fears weighing on me

Three months and I’m still sober

Picked all my weeds but kept the flowers

But I know it’s never really over

And I don’t know

I could crash and burn but maybe

At the end of this road I might catch a glimpse of me

So I won’t worry about my timing, I want to get it right

No comparing, second guessing, no not this time

Three months and I’m still breathing

Been a long road since those hands I left my tears in but I know

It’s never really over, no

Wake up

Three months and I’m still standing here

Three months and I’m getting better yeah

Three months and I still am

Three months and it’s still harder now

Three months I’ve been living here without you now

Three months yeah, three months

Three months and I’m still breathing

Three months and I still remember it

Three months and I wake up

Three months and I’m still sober

Picked all my weeds but kept the flowers

Emotions run high when you think the worst

Your world collapses suddenly before your eyes

Feeling a sense of loss and entitlement

Is all you can think about in the back of your mind

Your love for life, friends, family

Suddenly diminishes when you hit the brink of despair

All you can say is that you deserve the harshness of reality

And everything that happened was certainly fair

Nothing can awake you from this trauma

Like you suddenly fell into a deep coma

Not even the guidance of friends

Could bring you out and make you sober

Crying four times a day, wondering, waiting

If there is a way to fill the hole in one's heart

And just when you think there is no hope

Someone is there to give you a new fresh start

You can't do nothing but cry for joy

Hope was granted to you when you felt so lost

Knowing there is a chance to make things right

And not let go of it no matter what the cost

You still worry, wonder, think, miss

But know things will turn out to be the way it used to be

Even though it is the hardest to stay apart

You will always remember you are a part of me

So I started work today.

The site is in the meatpacking district, which is uber trendy.

The hotel is going to be WOWZA nice.

Its funny managing an office in the middle of a construction site though.

Lots of sweaty men. And NOT the good looking kind.

Tired

Of everything around me

I smile

But I don’t feel a thing no

I’m so far from where I need to be

I’ve given up on faith, on everything

All I want, all I need

Is some peace

There’s a hole

Inside of me

It’s so cold

Slowly killing me

Secrets

Eating at the core of me

Shut off

Trusting all the lies I breathe

I’m so far from where I need to be

I’ve given up on faith, on everything

All I wanted, all I needed

Was some peace

There’s a hole

Inside of me

It’s so damn cold

Slowly killing me

Sinking ever so slowly

So far from where I should be

No hands reaching out for me

Help me, help me

Something’s gone

I can feel it

It’s all wrong

I’m so sick of this

There’s a hole

Inside of me

It’s so cold

Slowly killing me

There’s a hole

Inside of me

It’s so damn cold

Slowly killing me

an original poem:

He toys with me as if I'm his puppet

casting spells to prolongue my pain

toying with magick to inflict

greater suffering onto me

through the halls of the hellish ward

he leads me

pulling on the strings of sanity

amidst all of society's outcasts

I walk

embarrassed, ashamed

they pump me full of poison and send me on my way

those men in white,

the watchers of the

criminally insane

herding us like cattle

following his bidding

they obey his every order

I pass my an open doorway

his eyes fix upon me

and he lets out an unearthly cackle

thoughts of white snow fill my head

I ache for its numbing release

from the agony

He holds in front of me

teasing me with something that I crave so badly

with every inch of my being

then pulls it away just as happily

leaving me in the shivers of withdrawal and sorror

The men in white

his evil assistants

cloak us in darness

and I close my eyes

preparing for another restless night...

Madness has cast his eye on me

and there is no escape...

Feeling of despair walks among many of us

Something that we all cannot bear

Hoping to reach out and grab their hand

When they are feeling alone and scared

They say you can feel one's pain

Especially if you feel you caused it

You push, put pressure, not leave alone

Until it's too late and they act as they see fit

In the blink of an eye, you could lose

Something or someone close to you

All they want is space you would not give

Which pushed them away farther from you

Something happens to one, makes you open your eyes

You start to feel remorse inside

You realize you hurt, not help, one's pain

And you give him the space to clear his mind

You can hold out your hand

You know in your heart the person is not ready

But the hand will always be there

And once ready to hold, they will hold on steady

They say patience is a virtue

And give one time and peace as long as they need

One's heart may be empty now

But in time, you hope it won't be
