Tryna' make it to an old age Let go of these old ways It can't be this hard to change Maybe I don't got good range Maybe I don't know where to aim

feeling chained to my mother
When I try to talk calmly all she does is yell. When I yell back she yells at me for yelling. Every time I have plans she squashes them and tells me I can’t do them. When I don’t have any plans, she tries to make it stay that way. The only reason I have a life if because I leave without asking, and though it gets me in trouble it’s the best decision I make everyday. I’m not going to have a parent forever so she needs to back off and let me learn for myself.

The love virus
Love is so strong. That never leaves our hearts. It's like a beautiful type of virus that always keeps moving in our bodies, never leaving.

Closed Confession
Beneath a vile oppression Through my congenital self-inflicted Wounded progression Lies a burial introspection like An obutual documented earthborn Resident. Transitioning from a materialistic Parable ot a dehumanized humanlike Animal. A mind of a computer recording recordings of its own dysfunctional dilemma From the absence on earth To an agonizing environment, stranded with stagnant backward moving abysmal circumstances. The soul utters diversity of pain while the heart categorizes its measurement against it. The contraction of our sentimental rivalry Slowly starts to hallucinate death as a friendly confinement. I am my own source of pain infused by underlying factors contributing to the adinfinite thoughts that refuse their retirement. It's a series of traffic congested tragedies, overpopulating the limitless capital expansion of graveyards.

Salt
Mother, how do I know if I am free? You will feel the sting of it as it drips into your raw, exposed wounds. Around you, the air will reek with it as cliffs of certainties crumble, releasing it into new, unexplored seas. You will lick your dry, chapped lips and taste its bitterness while wiping streaks of it from your face. Your body will glow, and you will pant as it clings to you, cooling you, grounding you, taking you home to the dirt beneath the golden shores and green grass fields from which it is mined.
