Rambles

* This is another old poem I had on a separate account that I decided to edit and re-submit. Before you read, take note that each stanza is more or less a separate piece itself, almost entirely different short poems, hence the title. Each stanza refers to, more or less, a different subject itself but all eventually discuss the same thing; a string of endless thoughts.*

Breathing a little too heavy with this lead upon my chest
Seeing is never believing when you're told lies
Who knows what its worth when angels become second best

So I reach for a piece of sky that I have yet to know
Sending into a violent spin with nothing for me hold
Not knowing whether to live or die, if I will ever grow

So keep me alive till the end of the day
The leaves sing hello as they reach out to breathe
Can't be held countable when anger sways

Pump my veins full of gasoline
Lift me up higher 'cause it seems I can't breathe
Eyes are burning, angry and sting

Gasping now my lungs deflated
Try not to pull too close, you'll break me
Skin like cellophane, hair is faded
You don't know how long I can burn.

Fumble for words you never knew
Closer please, I can't hear you
Whisper thoughts you pour out and spew

Climb the tallest mountain
Leave me dead but my chest still rises
Fake your promise
Bring me to that breaking point

Yell into my thoughts, slap my worthless face
Toss me down break my legs
Lose me, I can be replaced.

Stand up on a mountain carved from icy stone
Whispers fall around you; you're not allowed to know
Exhausted, forever you're alone

The clouds will float along when wind steers them where to fly
Oceans seem to crash only for you,
The sun will scorch your face when you turn to cry

Scratch my throat, drown my field
Tear with me every ribbon, every hero
Anger's temptation I will yield

I don't know where this is going, I don't know what I want to feel
Fantasizing every aspect
Tell me when I'm real.
