Quasi-psychosis

Why don't you stay
why don't you stay
why don't you stay
     back.
What did I say
what did I say
     take two steps back.
Because I know someday
you won't defend my attack,
throw my life of its track,
then say goodbye to your
insomniac.
Nymphomaniac.
Type of maniac.

Withstanding

How did I become so brave?
Can I build any more resilience?

     Who am I kidding?

Behind every crook is a coward.
Such a fool to think I'm any different. 

Such a fool to think I'm any less.

Such a fool to think I can't change. 

Wake up, brain! 

Sustain, refrain, secure, and endure.
Reject, affect, and remember what you're living for

I hate to have to beg, but I want more.

Because remember, I swore

Please believe me, we'll soar.
This is not a battle to ignore. 

Lo Siento Mija

Remember when my apologies weren't good enough?
Well, now I'm just learning to pick up the pieces.
So now's not the time for sorry.
You're too late in accepting my pain.

Let that be a message to the rest of you.
I know you feel like she left you too;
for a man that made our lives taboo.
Nearly impossible to get through.
So I deserve respect, where respect is due.
I'll be the one to listen to you.
As long as you promise you'll tune in too—
in to all the time I spend being blue.

A Reason to Cry

My eyes soak up the rising sun between the trees.
My ears tune into the Steller Jay's sweet song.
But my body, my body stays frozen,
tense and despondent.
My tears evaporate from the heat of my blood.
And my mind, my mind fights erosion,
fierce and transcendent.
