Try out your voice, now use it.

As much as I say that you're being stupid,
I'm glad they didn't break you.

I want to stop just accepting all this,
and if you won't fucking listen, someone will.
It's true that we are living so comfortably,
and everything is "considered to be one of the best"
in our country,
but really, you can't tell me that you're happy.
I see it on so many people's faces.
I hear it in my voice when I speak to you.

Fuck this.
There is so much more than having money.

I wish I had you in my lungs.

Our bodies got so much clearer
With dirty blood and thirty last calls
So fill it up and spin forever down the wall
I throw it up just to watch it fall
Through the window you looked much sweeter

"I once wrote a name on my wall too...
but I've since pasted a plaster over it.
I've healed!"
So I've noticed.
If you ever read the previous post,
just put it down as momentary self-loathing
and paranoia,
and forgive me.

I'm scared.
It's probably nothing but then it's not
nothing if you're crying.
It's the basics right: tears = sad/happy.
These sure as shit aren't happy tears.

But you.
You're the one who makes it right again
as I sit there on the curb,
eyes swimming
and ribs shaking with laughter.

I counted all the headlights to make sure I was all right.

"All this seemingly unfinished business and baggage
makes everything so difficult sometimes,
but I guess all it is is that:
I've loved before, I'm capable of
loving again and loving better.
People disappoint you and fail you
and hurt you but you
remember the good things
and that love becomes who you are.
It grows with you.
You move on but
it never truly leaves you."

I worry sometimes.
That I'm not enough or I'm not right
or it was just too big to bury
and move on from.
Am I too much alike...
or too different?
What if I hadn't said anything?

I know what it was like 
so I know how you felt.
And when that name pops up
on your screen, or in conversation,
or in your mind,
how does it feel now?

I feel the slight twisting
in my stomach.
I feel hideous.
I want to ask but I
don't want you to think
about it
so I don't.

I just feel so so sick,
sometimes.

I'm alright.

I now keep a dream journal,
maybe they're messages.
Maybe.

In case we die [Part 1-4]

My head in a song by
Architecture In Helsinki.
I'm just as clueless as you.
"You should be medicated!"
I've got problems
I'm gonna use them
I'm gonna keep them from you 'til you cry

I've got machine guns
I never shoot them
I only borrowed them in case we die

Late nights, play fights
I'm freezing and you're leaving me here
Blue and red up I'm fed
you're almost dead, tongue twisted

35 nightmares and 94 days since
I got near you and your anxious ways
Hey darling, let's steal it
I'm certain you're sure
Spell it to me, love

And as we planned there's fireworks, stage right
They're swallowing the brains of all in sight
It's 1am, that's evening your time
We're counting sheep
Sell it to me, love

Leave it while it still smolders
So I'll have to say I told you
I carved our names in a tree there
I meant the letters to be bolder, bolder
Around the angles there's a race
where silver never gets golder
And baby, when we get older
We don't have to get colder
