I can't live as I once did, telling people that I was doing fine and desperately wanting them to wade through the language and see that I was in pain.
Hanif Abdurraqib, A Little Devil in America: Notes in Praise of Black Performance
“Because a song can take you back instantly to a moment, or a place, or even a person. No matter what else has changed in you or the world, that one song stays the same, just like that moment. Which is pretty amazing, when you actually think about it.”
— Sarah Dessen
I need a father. I need a mother. I need some older, wiser being to cry to. I talk to God, but the sky is empty.

damn baby you are beyond mortal comprehension, wanna make me insane?
You’re smiling at me like the gate is closed and there’s nowhere for me to go.
You’re smiling like I still want you
through all the slurring, the blurring of your addiction and the cold, long winter of your silence.
You’re smiling like we’re living a party, baby and my eyes aren’t on that neon exit.
You’re smiling like I’m a boomerang, destined to circle back right into your hand
to relive that experience.
Your biggest insult to me.

i am tired and uninspired
i am used batteries
i am talent-less i am stale
i am a book thats been read and now sits on the shelf
i am a broken guitar string
i am useless
i am invisible
everyday i feel like i’m at war with the world
some days i feel like im standing on the tallest mountain,
screaming at the top of my lungs
”look at me, please, look at me“
if loneliness ever needed a defention,
it‘d be me
i see countless faces everyday
but do they see me? NO!
i am alone
i am invisible
all i wanna do is help other people like me
i wanna hold you and kiss your scars
and say ”i swear to god it‘ll be okay“
not today, but one day
one day, you‘ll wake up and smile for no damn reason
but today, we can cry
today we can be invisible.

“Dying is an art,like everything else.
I do it exceptionally well.
I do it so it feels like hell.”
What is a candle turned wax?
It has one fixed shape,its life has been drained and it is useless.
Nevertheless I can’t help viewing it as an object which still has much to give.
Yes,it has completed it’s life’s task;
Thus,hasn’t it been freed from the burden of needing a purpose?
Shapeless,vacuous,mutilated,yet—
free
As I sit here,staring at a newly lit candle,I can’t help seeing my life being mirrored in the flame.
It is not burning,it’s living.
Somewhat pliable,though it still holds its shape.
Much like myself,really.
I can bend myself to my own will,yet I am subject to the still air that engulfs me.
Am I living my life,or is my life living me?
Devoid of purpose,I grasp at the slightest shift taking place in my life.
My life-long friend has come to check on me.
It has never once left me,only side-stepped so as to witness how I would fare with knowing him gone.
It will forever be bound to me,and I to him.
A life-long friendship bringing excruciating pain in my bones,in my flesh,a drought that cannot be recovered from.
I am yours,and you are mine.
I regret our meeting as much as I treasure it.
Am I offering you a worthy companionship?
Drifting apart and sitting on the sidelines may be a good change.
They always say we will value the most what we had but ended up losing,don’t they?
Let’s put a seal on our friendship,celebrating our reunion and promising for it to be the last in a long time.
