They always said "be the change you want to see"
After the rain subsided
The flood waters receded
The first ray of sunlight
Peeked through the clouds
We all came out
To assess the damage
The sky cleared to beauty
As we looked over destruction
Realizing it wasn't just stuff washed away
We've all been washed away
Yet none were cleansed

Burn it all down
We don't appreciate it anyway
Burn it all down
We take it all for granted
Burn it all down
So I can escape this place
Burn it all down
So I can breathe toxic smoke
Burn it all down
So I can blow all the ash away
Burn it all down
So a phoenix may rise

We're drowning in the blood shed from this clash of titans. All of our hands red. Eyes we've gouged. Our minds haunted. Cut out our own tongues. Mouths agape with scream. Silent deaths echo ad nauseam. Terrors persisting past the point of numb. Gasping daily at routine atrocities.

The United States is pay to win. Thankfully, I'm an anthropomophized pile of currency. If I were a human, things would be looking pretty bleak.

Going to social media to loudly proclaim that you're just as cruel and apathetic as a murdered dickhead is not the flex you think it is.

We stand on the shoulders of giants
But will we be as tall
To those on our shoulders
Will we even allow
Anyone on our shoulders
Will we be too busy scrabbling for the top
To reach a hand back and uplift
Those that need it most
Will it be bearable
To watch those giants weep

On these seas
I've seen nothing
But white caps
Raging waves
Capsizing winds
Beasts from depths
Unfathomable
I've been searching
For calm
Placid waters
For #mundane coasts
With lighthouses
To lead me home
But I keep sailing
Through this cacophony
Longing to be home
So I can long for the sea

I watch your tv
Through gaps
In your floor
I wish I could pick
What we watch
But #rules are rules
You control the volume too
I can't hear much
Just muffled mouths
Ever moving
What do they say?
Are they looking yet?
Have they given up?
Maybe they found me
Oh it's cartoons
They're my favorite

Another day passed
Etched into the wall
Course there are no windows
And haven't been given a clock
But time can be counted
And with nothing else
The mind needs something to do
And like clockwork
The hum
No idea it's effect
But after counting
The hum marks another day
Spent in this hell

They keep us poor
So we fight for scraps
They keep us stupid
So our ignorance breeds prejudice
They keep us scared
So we feel weak
They keep us divided
So it's harder to unite
They keep us down
So we stay in our place
This is what they do
What will we do?

There was plenty of room
But we stood close
Hips bumping lightly
As we stood at the table
Shoulders touching
Little glances
Nothing spoken
We were together
Before we knew it
Standing on our side
Of the table with cups on it
Winners stay at the table
And we wanted to win

How is it
That we're here
I'm the one apologizing to you
I'm the one comforting you
You're the one with tears in your eyes
When it was you that
Unloaded two barrels of shit day
Right into my chest
And when I stand up for myself
Suddenly I'm tearing us apart
Maybe together
Isn't for us

What is it for you?
That push or pull
Does it drag you
From your bed every morning
Kicking and screaming
Or do you bound from bed
Hot on it's tail
Is it to make an impact
On everyone's life
Or maybe just dragon it up
What is it for me?
What is my purpose?
I'll get back to you

And I'll ask my #self
Was it enough?
The efforts
The sweat
The blood
The tears
What have I built
What does it stand for
Will it remain

Or did I not act
Did I make excuses
Did I build mountains
Where should've been ant hills
Did I stop myself from starting
Because perfection
Was out of reach

I begged
I pleaded
I wailed
I denied
I dispaired

You lay there
Your chest unmoving
Your warmth fading
Your skin pallor
Your lips blue

I can't say goodbye
You can't hear it
I won't let you go
You won't ever fade
I love
You

It will take sutures
It will take staples
It will take gauze
It will take bandaids
It will take needle and thread
It will take duct tape
It will take hot glue
It will take epoxy
It will take everything used to mend
It will take them all
To fix this knife wound
You've put in my back

What would you have me do
Put ink to paper
Express what's been done
In some sort of elegy
About us
About our de-coupling
About how sometimes
People stop loving
So they can try
Living
For once
Maybe if I was sorrowful
I'd write you that poem
But I'm too busy
Walking away

And I cant out run it
And its coming for me
And its all my fault
And I know it
And they will get their retribution
And they will have their day
And I'll be first against the wall
And they put me to rest
And I can stop
And #karma wins again
And again
But only in a just world
But this aint it

There is no more bridge to cross
You poured the gas
You lit the match
And now I'm left
Thinking of your face
Contorted by terror
Imagining what I would do
If I got my hands on you
I am not
Ever
Going to #return
To you
Now lay in the bed
That you've made
And be thankful
It's not a grave

It's an intricate process
Hot air passing through
A narrow passage
Vibrating skin on the way
That skin hits the air
And makes waves
Waves that travel
And get caught by ears
Goes through another passage
Hitting a tiny bone
That plays a tiny drum
Inside our skulls
And yet
All I hear is #noise

It was
Sudden
It was over in an instant
Yet it has taken years
Ive felt it
The pain
Every day since
A fraction of a second
Lasting the rest of my life
This void
Knows no bounds
Its depths are endless
This hole in my heart
Shaped like you
I miss you every day
And I hate #death
For taking you

There was a fray
And I teased at it
Picking at it gently
Until there was enough
I started to pull
Her #thread was strong
I could yank it
It wouldn't break
Yet I continued
And she unraveled
Slowly at first
But more rapidly
The more I pulled
Until there she was
Bared to me
