being this upset and angry is seriously not helpful for doing this project

i hate periods…you feel emotions for no reasooonnnnnn

in school, art doesn’t matter

you may get compliments, but will it raise your grade, or increase your academic skills? nah, not really.

and people wonder why i feel dumb

I’m scared

I’m scared.

Of myself.

Of my mind.

Of my past.

Of my friends.

Of my passion.

Of my fears.

Of my life.

Of the world.

To keep trying is hard

But to continue

Is to be successful.

How is it possible?

How is it done?

Why can’t I focus?

I feel like nothing

I feel like everything.

I have no confidence.

I am an egotistical jerk.

I am too fat.

I want to eat.

I want to lose weight.

I can’t.

The only thing fear has done for me.

Is to stop me from harm.

No cutting.

No screaming.

No starving.

Just crying.

Mental images to drive the brain insane.

Blood all over.

Knives clashing.

People dead.

Children crying.

All this pain in the world.

Wrapped up in me.

Nerves, concern, pain, hurt, laziness, insecurity.

How can I be secure?

I am happy

I get good grades.

I am an artist

I am an actress

I am a leader

I am a director

I am smart

I am a good person

I care for others

I am brilliant

I am adorable

See?

All good.

What is there to worry about?

That’s the thing.

Time.

Time.

Time.

Time.

Isn’t enough of it to be those things.

So my mind creates nothing.

Produces anything but something.

Wrapped in a world of shadow.

Creating its own reality.

The caution of daydreaming and imagination.

None is as good as it seems.

Keeps me breathing though.

I really want to have a passion.

I try and I try. So hard.

But.

I.

Feel.

Nothing.

Those rare moments I cling to and hold on to.

I keep them in my memory.

Though my brain keeps it cloaked in a blanket.

Going through the motions.

Trying to get by.

My passion fades.

I want to accept the compliment.

Self says no.

I want to feel good.

Self says no.

It only feels good to do nothing.

Nothing is numbing.

Feelings are easily accessible.

Yet most not even accessible.

I’m scared.

I’m useless.

My brain keeps saying no.

On the Bridge

on a bridge
what is there to do
to walk
to run
to jump…
he jumped
she jumped
but why
why did they leave this world
why
was it too far
had it been too long
did their wrists bleed
did their skin bruise
were they ashamed of what they were
or what they couldn;t be
did they try to touch the sun too fast
did spirits drown their sorrows
were words used as rocks
to break the glass
how did they
how did the words form?
how did the blood run
how did anyone not notice
why couldnt they tell them
why did they run
how did they hide
did the lines form on elbows
knobby knees shaken from imbalance
skeletal figures walking along

yet no one seems to notice a thing

Filling Spaces

Everyday

all alone

filling the spaces

of the paper

wanting

waiting

for something to happen

to whisk me away 

to a happier place

ALL YOU NEED IS LOVE: Dawn of Time

broadwayburtonwho:

forces dawning

creating a world

changing the fabric

of the universe


always shifting

never the same

planets formed

to be changed again


Sirens knocking

volcanoes rocking

charges made

to shock the place


new beginnings

different shades of grey

bright…

On the Bricks

broadwayburtonwho:

Dreams lead to wonder

a wonder that creates heart

bricks surrounded by grass

creating works of art


an area in

which actors play

where people come

to see the stage


nature and player go hand in hand

in this little sanctuary

shakespeare bows and makes his mark

on the great community
