    “Deeply rooted sphere, eccentric and relentless,
    You walk into the…” ocean.

    I am falling on the floor. I am so close to the earth I am almost a growing part of it. I do have the power to detach or evacuate but instead I lay as flat as I can, letting all the air out of me like a plastic bag under the tire of a car. I begin to wonder about those around me as near as a mile. So I walk the length of the beach, where I am now from the lighthouse to the rocks, from the sand until the clouds. I think, “And maybe the ground will drop from beneath me,” collapsing my body, descending me below sea level. At the beach I stared east. I looked as far as my eyes could reach. It was intense just to be there. Standing. I looked up to see the moon in the bright blue sky, mysteriously peeking out from behind clouds. Almost hiding from the sun, knowing it was not the proper time of day to be out. In the sun I realize we’re all just floating in space. I notice that its easy to move but impossible to be seen from the sky. In the light (of the moon and the sun) I looked down and saw my two feet on the ground.

    I built this wall up for a reason
    When the world has got you down
    And there is no one on your side
    I say run far away
    Cuz there's no where you can hide
    Inhale the last of your cigarette
    Push it down into your palm
    Get up and face the world again
    It's time to just act calm
    On the inside you are screaming
    Your eyes can't stay awake
    Look at the people in your life
    Realize that they are all fake
    Take a bat and smash your memories
    They're pouring on to the ground
    My heart is breaking, heads on fire
    But I won't even make a sound

    I built this wall up for a reason
    Keep on changing every season
    9:51 pm
    Who is that calling me
    When I'm too deaf
    To hear the sound of a voice
    I walk to the cries in my mind
    And raindrops know the way out
    Pakcing bowl after bowl
    Hoping I can escape myself
    For a minute
    Just for a minute

    It seems like I'm just
    a little disconnected
    This is just
    my direction

    We're not the weak
    We are the wounded
    We're not the mindless
    We are the molested

    I want to learn how to take pictures
    With my mind of my dreams
    I want to see them on canvas
    I wanna write my own story
    With my own ending
    But what's this story about
    What's this story about

    It seems like I'm just
    a little disconnected
    This is just
    my direction

    We're not the weak
    We are the wounded
    We're not the mindless
    We are the molested
    9:42 pm
    I'm gonna walk out the door
    I'm gonna leave this town for sure
    I'm gonna walk out the door
    I'm gonna leave this town for sure
    Cuz it's got nothin left for me
    I'm gonna go where I can be free
    I'm gonna walk out the door
    And get out of town

    New places, New faces
    Rest assured, I'll stock up on cases
    Of whisky here and 6 bottles of beer
    And I'll drink myself till I can't see clear

    I'm gonna walk out the door
    I'm gonna leave this town for sure
    I'm gonna walk out the door
    I'm gonna leave this town for sure

    Torch the atlas, no sense of delay
    Fuck the system, we'll pave our own way
    This is a request I can surely adhere
    Bottoms up boys cuz I got no fear

    I'm gonna walk out the door
    I'm gonna leave this town for sure
    I'm gonna walk out the door
    I'm gonna leave this town for sure

    Side of the highway, take a seat in acid rain
    Tobacco's stale, there's no refrain
    Backpack full of nearly molded bread
    Better save the whisky to feed the dead

    I'm gonna walk out the door
    I'm gonna leave this town for sure
    I'm gonna walk out the door
    I'm gonna leave this town for sure
    Cuz it's got nothin left for me
    I'm gonna go where I can be free
    I'm gonna walk out the door
    And get out of town

    enough to hold myself up and fall
    your voice sings out to me
    like a ten minute symphony
    no longer just a song
    sing to me how to learn
    ive been stagant since birth

    to fear your life and want to live
    doesn't make sense to me
    but somehow its true
    i'm too tired to explain
    the inconcistency

    torn up pieces of paper
    i'm cursed
    about to fall asleep
    i'm dead
    dreams pass through my skull
    i'm out of line
    all on my own again
    i'm wrong

    10:36 pm
    i'll remove my hand from your pants
    long enough to punch myself in the face

    tonight i'm not going
    to think about the past
    maybe i'll call up someone
    that i know won't last
    hold a hand and sing a song
    do a dance and hit a bong
    fall on your ass and
    laugh a little harder
    she'll forget about the things
    that once scarred her

    fill yourself up with drugs and alcohol
    self mutilation starvation and apathy
    you get a sense of indecency
    i mask my sadness with exaustion
    just hoping no one will tell me i'm wrong to do what i do
    youre right that people like to have a sense of comfort
    but why is that so bad
    it makes it a little easier to get by
    fake it until you make it
    how do you say all these things
    when you were so close to getting me thrown into rehab
    you havent grasped how scared i am
    you dont know how my body screams for just a little bit
    a little bit will make you feel good
    just a little and all your pain will go away
    no more hallucinations
    or being physically and emotionally empty
    spiders haunt me in my bed
    i wake up from not sleeping just to be out of breath
    i scratch till it bleeds
    im a fucking mess
    footsteps and voices echo in my head
    enough to make me jump
    they tell me secret messages
    that i never can understand
    but i lie awake to hear their voices
    i dont remeber the last time i slept
    when i look in the mirror
    i see nothing
    sadness and anger
    empty eyes
    bloody nose
    infected throat
    bruised knuckles
    cut up leg
    scratched up back
    yellowed eyes
    pinpoint pupils
    i am nothing
    i saw lights that werent there
    i stared into the woods waiting for them to shine again
    they did again and again
    but after a while they dimmed and i cried
    i found myself reaching out for that bottle
    but now its empty and i wonder why i even cared
    maybe i need soemthing stronger
    something a little stranger
    its just that feeling of nothing
    that made me feel at home
    where do i belong other than with myself
    and my new friends
    they talk to me when i'm too frightened to move
    i'm sweaty and angry and somehow i'm cold
    i can feel my body eating away at my flesh
    who knew you could get bruises from scratching too much
    who knew you could pass out in the shower and your mom is too drunk to notice
    or maybe its those pills she has all lined up in bottles in those secret places she thought id never find
    well i did mom and i took a handful of each
    but i didnt die
    and you didnt notice
    you never notice when i'm too fucked up to feel my fake happiness
    maybe i was cutting myself the day you found the bloody towel in the bathroom
    i was too fucked up to throw out the evidence
    sorry about the vomit i was too lazy to clean up
    i wonder if my friends noticed that i was too fucked up to move
    when i sat in their car and threw up in their friends toilet while they were about to start packing a bowl
    pot is pretty cool
    but it doesnt let me escape myself like morphine
    i love that feeling of blowing just another line
    you know youre already pushing it but you want to get just a little higher
    just a little more away from yourself than you already were
    crush up another just in case youre too fucked up to do it when you need it
    i remember when i beat myself up
    i tried to hurt myself on the outside to kill the thing on the inside
    but shes not going away
    i hear her voice persistently
    she wants me to come back to her
    but another voice screams in pain and i feel something cutting off the circulation in my arms
    oh wait thats me holding myself tighter and tighter
    trying not to shake so much my house falls down
    dont talk to me
    why do you bother with me
    theres nothing like that feeling
    i want it back but i cant have it
    maybe a joint will help my bones from shaking under my skin
    it doesnt so i walk to the cries in my mind
    and raindrops that know the way out
    packing bowl after bowl
    hoping i can escape myself for one minute
    i want what i want, and i want it to get here faster
    i want to learn how to take pictures
    but not with a camera
    with my mind of my dreams
    i want to see them on canvas
    i want to write my own story
    i want to write my own ending
    but whats this story about
    if not an indulgent young disaster
    i'm starting to love yager
    i took the bottle out
    then crunched the bag into a ball and threw it at the door
    i know shes gona come in yelling at me soon
    so i might as well get a little buzz before that happens
    whoops the bottles gone and what happened to those xanex i had on my window sill
    i have a pretty good idea but i'll pretend like i dont
    i want to be as far away from myself as i can get
    i remember when my mother looked at me as if she loved me
    now she cant even look at me at all
    she wont come near me or let me see into her eyes
    she knows i'll smell the alcohol
    she knows i'll see how dialted her pupils are
    i remember having this nightmare all the time when i was a kid
    i'd be dreaming that my parents were screaming real loud and stuff was getting thrown around
    then some super loud crash in the dream would wake me up
    i'd sit up in bed, look at my alarm clock, and tell myself it was just a dream
    then i'd hear a crash downstairs and someone would yell
    my parents could find a way into my head even if i was asleep
    it was always hard to close my eyes again after that
    i remember when my father threw this stupid thing i made at the wall and it shattered into a million pieces
    it was one of those bottles you filled up with layers of different colored sand
    guess who had to vacume it all up
    your fragile young eight year old who thinks her parents are normal
    do you remeber when i found those little vodka bottles in your car dad?
    now i see those at my friends houses or in my nightmares
    i'm headed straight for nothing
    i'm headed straight towards everything i hate
    all the things i never thought mattered
    the things i never wanted to talk about
    the things i never wanted to say
    theyre all surfacing and i cant hide from them anymore
    it hurts for me to play back everything in my head
    like when i came home to see your car packed up to the top
    with anything of yours you could find at the moment
    i walked in and said daddy what are you doing
    dont leave us
    dont leave me
    you looked at me and said i have to
    with mom screaming at you in the background
    but then she walked real fast after me to tell me to beg you
    she wanted me to beg you to stay
    but how i was i supposed to know what was going on
    i never knew what you were fighting over
    the only things i knew were what i heard, what i found, what i saw
    when mom came in crying asking if she could sleep on my bottom bunk all those times for all those years
    i bet she didnt think youd come in and yell at both of us
    but she kept doing it
    time after time after time
    where is my sister i would think
    doesnt she hear any of this
    why cant she come get me and cover my eyes help me pretend it'll be ok
    people act like theyre happy when theyre not because sometimes its too hard to remember the truth all the time
    to have a constant reminder of what your life really is smeared across your face
    in every expression, every word, every movement for everyone to see
    thats how i learned so early to lie to everyone
    to keep everything i knew hidden away deep inside of me
    and put on a happy face and act like i didnt start hating myself when i was nine
    remember when you used to scream at me till my nose bled onto my shirt
    and i would just shake in a corner and hope youd stop yelling soon
    and if you didnt stop id go downstairs and hide from you till you tipped your glass back a little farther and stopped caring about me
    remember when dad was driving drunk and he fell asleep at the wheel
    you said he was just tired as he stumbled around to the other side of the car
    so you could drive the rest of the way home
    or remember when he backed the car into me on easter
    remember when you ripped up the christmas present i gave you
    or when you didnt get me anything for my birthday because you wouldnt get over being mad for one day to make me feel special
    remember how many fights you put me in the middle of
    remember how many times you used me to take out your anger on
    i tried to forget
    i'm still trying to forget
    i want to hold my breath for as long as it takes to forget
    i want to stop breathing just long enough to know what it would be like to be totally still
    being a second away from death
    not really there--not really here

    We are not the weak, we are the wounded
    We are not the mindless, we are the molested

    Today marks the third day of sobriety after a three and a half week binge on a variety of opiate downers. Two times I thought I was going to die. It was without a doubt, a very interesting experience. Now I've thought I was going to die six times. Only two involving alcohol.

    I've been thinking so much today. I can't turn off my brain for one second, I can't focus on anything happening in the present. I can only focus on what's inside of my head. I feel like this all the time. It's why I constantly find myself at a state of nonexistance. It's like I don't feel like I'm living becasue I'm stuck on everything that doesn't have to do with the present. When I look at something, it's like all my thoughts overpower my senses. I say I live for now, but I'm already dead. In my reality, I'm a zombie. I just go through the day doing whatever my conscious mind is telling me, but my subconscious is going crazy with thoughts and ideas; or possibly the other way around. Sometimes I think I'm going insane. Right now I am partially insane. I show alot of signs of being a schizophrenic, but I have something in me that keeps me partially in the "real" world. I have some sort of grasp on what everyone else's realities are; enough to maybe fake it. I need to figure out if I'm really faking it or not because maybe, somehow, i'm just too mixed up in my own world to know.


    Between now and when I was 14 or 15, I feel the same; stuck, unchanging. It's really hard for me to explain how I feel about it. I was thinking about it earlier. I can't grasp it. It's like part of my brain, maybe my subconscious, can just be like nothing's changed, I was the same person as I am now a year ago or two years. Which is true, I am the same person, but that's probably my conscious talking. When I think more deeply, I realize I have grown up so much in some ways; not just in what I do, in how I think. Which is growing up, I guess.


    I use drugs because I love the feeling of having something between me and the world. It's like a fire blanket, you can't feel the fire through the blanket. I mean, it's like your being protected from all your natural emotions and problems. Being high protects me from all the harsh emotions I have and also of all my thoughts coming in too fast. I've been told I have a drug addiction before. I know people who do less than half of the drugs I do, and people who have done twice as much who have been called addicts too. It's all about if you feel like your addicted to drugs. The only thing that matters is what you feel like. No one can tell you your addicted to something, it's a feeling. I feel addicted, but I am strong enough to overcome it. So what am I? On drugs, I don't feel like myself. I like to get away from myself. I feel like I want them so I don't have to feel normal. I need that barrier from the harsh reality I've found myself living in. It's not that I don't like myself when I'm sober, before now I had never thought of it like that. I'm stuck on this now actually. I can't figure out which I like better; sober or high. It's a good balance I have going I guess. I can't be high all the time. I have to be sober sometimes to deal with the rest of the world. If I had to be high or sober for the rest of my life, it would be hard to choose. If I lived in a secluded world of my own in the woods, perhaps I would choose being high over sober, but since I have to deal with normal world things, I need to be sober some of the time. Under my circumstances now, I think I would go crazy from being high all the time. I would BE crazy to the sober world. You'd be naturally high all the time. Which could, in theory, be scary. It's a choice on if you want to be in your own world forever or if you want to be a part of everyone's world. Maybe drugs are just a way for me to get through to the parts of my life that aren't this hard for me.

    Day 2 - Waste of Space
    its probably better you dont write me back
    i dont know what you would say
    whatever you say would just make me mad anyways
    if you said i'm sorry id say its not enough
    but what is enough
    i dont think anything is
    i was just left with an empty feeling
    its like what am i doing now
    i'm less sure of who i am every day
    especially since i dont have you to talk to
    i dont want to lose you completely
    its just hard to imagine talking to you
    knowing i'm not your one anymore
    you really do hold me together
    you give me somethign to care about
    someone to show me i'm not a complete waste of space
    you said all these things
    as if you were trying to
    talk me out of loving you
    like telling me the bad shit would do anything
    but i knew what i was getting into
    i was glad to
    now i just feel sick when i think about us
    about all the things i felt
    that i still feel
    that i can't help but feel
    i think we're fate
    i want for you to come back so bad
    not today or tomorrow
    its too soon
    but someday you'll realize
    that we really are fate
    and i'll be waiting here
    to take you back
    because no matter what
    you're my other half

    Day 1 - Choke
    (This is for every time
    I choked over the words I love you
    Because it meant so much
    It was hard for me to say
    And as much as I know you're wrong
    I still hear myself begging you to stay)



    I stared down at half of a beer
    After I read between the lines
    Everything was clear
    I found a book full of lies
    Diseased and disoriented
    I blew a few more pills
    Cleaning up the mess
    From a cup spilt half filled
    You were coming back to tell me
    What you should have all along
    How could you do this
    You know that I'm not strong
    Every word you said to me
    Dripped down onto my fingers
    Dumbfounded
    Blindfolded
    Speechless
    You linger

    "I hate that it's me you have to love"
    Well if I didn't hurt enough already...

    I realize I'm resented
    Plans and ideas
    Worthlessly presented
    I'm just another chapter
    You didnt think about
    What would happen after
    I just want to pass with the clouds
    I can't even read this outloud
    When I've got nothing left to lose
    I can lose my mind without caring
    You try to look away but I know
    Right back here you're staring
    Its not right
    Its too much to believe
    Can't we meet again?
    Why did I make you leave


    So which is it
    Are you afraid of having
    Something too beautiful to break
    Or do you really think
    I'm wrong to love you this much
    What's your real reason
    For letting me go

    She Is
    when i fake a smile everyday
    she doesnt grasp the fact
    that i'm screaming inside
    every word i hear from anyone
    tears away at me
    theres nothing left
    all i am is a handful of pills
    a bag of this or a bottle of that
    i'm a dissapointment
    ive been told i'll never amount to anything
    i'm never good enough
    whatever i do is never enough
    theres always something else i need to fix about myself
    if i say i want you to care
    i just want you to listen
    if i say im wrong
    i just want to end the conversation
    everytime i ask whats the point of this
    i come one step closer to not caring at all
    whats my purpose
    who cares what my purpose is
    i can drown her out
    i can keep her going
    i can hate myself
    i can forget shes not here
    i can fake it through the day

    as i was falling asleep
    i heard a voice in my left ear
    it scared the hell out of me
    whenever i go to sleep
    i wonder if i'll wake up
    reincarnation is just reassurance
    that you'll have another chance
    but deep down i know
    this is it

    unsatisfied

    if she wants to be my other half
    she should be
    its all i want
    i can only put myself out so far
    ive said all the right words
    to all the wrong girls
    she's the only one i should talk to
    its everyone else that i have a problem with
    i dont fuck myself up everyday
    to forget that she loves me
    i do it because i'm scared
    i'm dying inside
    and i cant do it alone
    i'm half an animal
    not important enough to be a person

    the only direction ive ever had
    or put into words
    is to be happy
    what kind of happiness do i want
    do i want the happiness that comes from finding it somehow everyday
    or do i want to work hard for years to get the happiness of finally meeting your goals

    what if i've already found lasting happiness
    how do i keep it
    she keeps trying to get away
    its like it doesnt matter that i say all the right things
    because she doesnt believe i mean it
    plan after plan
    its not the plans i care about
    she is my direction
    she is my happiness
    i'm going to find her no matter how far she gets
    who cares where we end up
    as long as its me and her together
    she is my only truth
    my dimming light
    its my fault shes not as bright as she used to be
    i push her too far
    i know i'm wrong
    i'm not trying to piss her off
    i'm wrong
    when shes my life
    i wont need a crutch
    i want her to believe it
    i want her so much
    but if you never noticed
    nothings ever enough for me
    realizations in the middle of the night
    of the fact that i'm never satisfied
    i dont how to fix it
    i dont know anything it feels like
    my subconscious is hiding my knowledge from me
    honestly it is
    i know so much that i dont realize
    and i understand how i feel
    but i cant help me
    i'm a sinking ship
    or maybe i'm just one of the people on board
    should i jump?
    or go down with the rest?
    i'm not insane
    just insecure
    disconnected
    wrong

    Stutter When You Speak
    the things i gave to you just pile up
    as the years keep flying by
    i dont walk with a limp now
    i got myself a crutch
    and i no longer stutter
    because i boarded my mouth shut
    you dont know
    the things i do
    when youre not here
    i wont lie to you
    my days drag on
    its been 4 years
    but it doesnt
    seem that long
    i'm high in the sky
    and youre still down below
    my life is moving fast
    my days are going slow

    every binge this week
    is better than
    hearing you speak
    the words you say
    are keeping me away
    theyre haunting me

    i built this wall up
    for a reason
    keep on changing
    every season

    keep me awake
    to wisper you still care
    but every word you say
    sounds so cold and bear

    it seems like i'm
    a little diconnected
    this is just
    my direction

    i wrote a story
    in my head
    about a girl
    who never read
    constantly tired
    always cold
    she ate a sandwich
    two days old
    in the bed
    of brown blankets
    she'll just lie there
    and take it
    waiting for love
    that will never happen
    needing some clairty
    like she had back then
    a small apartment
    meant for two
    she said "it's for someone
    named me and you
    our love is clear
    and its true"
    but as the days got hazier
    her mind grew lazier
    she started to forget
    what she wanted at all
    this is the time
    that she began to fall

    you remind me of me
    maybe thats why every morning
    i wake up thinking about you

    its hard for me to say
    probably hard for you to believe it
    because its unaccepted by most
    for me to be liek this
    but somewhere along the way i got twisted up
    and i cant seem to find anyone i can trust
    the closest ive come to trusting is me
    but even i sometimes i can decieve myself
    i dont think i could confide in someone
    who isnt that creature who stares back at me in the mirror
    following my every move
    staring bakc at me with empty eyes
    and a hungry soul
    but i cant climb through
    to the next world
    as much as i would like to
    i just want to help the psychopath
    who cant find anyone but me
    shes lost
    she must be
    but i cant help her
    shes lost
    she needs the other half of her soul
    but shes stuck on being alone
    shes lost
    can someone please tell her the way out
    it scares me
    but i think
    her other half
    is me

    so fold your hands and pray to no one
    because there isn't anyone that cares
    cut your wrists and take some pills
    they all laugh and ignore your prayers
    when you think you hit the bottom
    youre gona fall a whole lot farther
    you can try to make things better
    but theres no real need to bother
    when the world has got you down
    and there is no one on your side
    i say run far away because
    theres no where you can hide
    inhale the last of your cigarette
    push it down into your palm
    get up and face the world again
    it's time to just act calm
    on the inside you are screaming
    your eyes can't stay awake
    you look at the people in your life
    and know that they're all fake
    take a bat and smash your memories
    they're pouring down onto the ground
    my heart is breaking, my heads on fire
    but i wont even make a sound

    i love nothing
    now that i see clearly
    i know that things are
    fucked up beyond repair
    and being sober
    is too hard to do
    for 2 more weeks
    but i'll do it
    to show you i'm not crazy
    i'm not crazy
    i'm not a liar
    i can do this on my own
    i see things so clearly
    that i'm overwhelmed
    and scared
    i have nothing
    i stand for
    nothing
    my world is about me
    where is everyone else?
    why am i so alone
    ha
    why do i ask that
    when i so
    clearly
    know the answer
    if i could be honest
    for just one second
    id tell you
    i lied about not being a liar
    and i lied about everything else
    and i'm too fucked up
    to make anything better
    i dont want your help
    and i really will
    die alone
    before you can get to me

    from a few weeks ago
    You can't stay around
    Once the sun sets
    From my ears to my brain
    And I drool
    Sweat
    Blame
    Beat
    You
    Me
    Him
    Her
    Down
    I could point my gun at your face
    And wipe the steam from my goggles
    But the gun would be backwards
    And the steam insists on staying
    Be
    My
    Fucking
    God
    To meet you again
    In a new light

    in the ring
    we reigned outloud
    and in the snow
    the sounds grew loud
    i filled my days
    with a balance and
    feeling infinite
    love feeds the mind
    but i eat the soul

    pass by the houses
    blood marks immunity
    7:39 pm
    its history
    and everyone forgets history
    we have history
    but its more the present i'm concerned with
    i dont have a future
    i dont have a past
    i have a now
    and i have a place
    in the world
    every single sunset of
    life and love and death and
    reincarnation
    shines straight through my windows
    and in the days that i have left
    i will be free
    and i can waste my time
    any way i please
    i will remain living in peace
    and in pieces
    strewn across every ocean and
    mountain and desert and city
    in which all train tracks
    lead striaght to my town
    the town that is mine
    in my own state
    of mind
    and i lost myself
    in the forest
    in a book
    that i read
    which was an idea
    inside my head
    and my life
    is an illusion
    and i am only
    a dream
    from the mind
    of a molecule
    in another galaxy
    which i invented
    in this dream
    called
    my lonely
    but still happy
    shred of a life
    7:26 pm
    i'm too young
    to feel this weird

    i'm too lame
    to feel this cool

    i'm too tired
    to feel this awake

    i'm two feet away
    from the edge

    i'm too scared
    to do anything
