Drift Away

2004

I’ve got nothing to live for
Nothing to die for
Everything to run for
Everything to hide for
I can’t stand it anymore
I’ve got nothing at all
You took the extra step and let me fall
Turned on me behind my back
The pressure gained and felt like a smack
Blurry vision and runny mascara
Suddenly life seems so unfair
Rumors surround me like a wave of whispers
I’ve never felt more like a drifter

Incandescent

May 22nd, 2024

I’ve let people close enough
To count the piercings in my ears
Find the scars on my body
But none of it was real
I’m tired of letting someone in proximity
To see the bioluminescence in my eyes
Then they watch it fade out
When another part of me dies
I know I’m the prize
But they can’t commit
They got their chance
And I watched them blow it
