Man In His Most Natural State

Keep your presence known
in this carnal romance.
Caught in the act between two vicious lovers.
Intertwined, they bind.
Cut and connect.
The chemistry between us could start a fire.

The friction's slipping between our bodies.
The air's getting warmer, the light's getting darker.
I think I could give everything to you.

If the world exploded today, it would be okay,
because I was laying here in your arms.

Three weeks can seem like a lifetime
when you're tempted to play in moving traffic,
and the world's about to end.
I know everything you don't,
I can see the truth.
It's right behind you, turn around,
don't blink, you'll miss it.

It's time to open your eyes.
It's time to be enlightened.
These voices are sending me signs.
I'm gonna die someday,
someday may be soon.

Maybe this jet will fall into the ocean
or explode into a million pieces.
I knew it was coming, I swear,
I saw it all along.

I'm a genius, you know, the old lady told me so.
I'll sleep well tonight.

Cleaning Out My Closet

I need to clear my head. I'm filled with both self-doubt and self-confidence at the same time. Why am i so paranoid? meaningless and meaningful things, too. fuck you. fuck me. i can't stand the way you send me on these guilt trips. we're both wrong. we're both right. i love you. i do. why do you put me under so much stress; why do i let you? fuck your imaturity, that shit's stupid. grow up. you help me a lot, but then you hurt me. I'm dry, this is beginning to feel forced.

Emotions are astounding.

I'm incredibly anxious, and I have no idea why. The sick thing is, it makes part of me really happy. The ability to even have emotions is such a beautiful thing. The ability to express them is even more amazing.

Nicotine and Time (Cost a Buck and a Dime)

I knew something was wrong
when you lifted that cigarette
between your fingers
and held it to your lips.

You sipped that casual smoke
I thought, "You puffed like a pro, buddy."
What happened to you? Where did you go?
The boy I once knew
was now addicted, and a man.

You high fived your cousin.
"You're one of us now," he said.
"I'm cool..." your voice wandered off.
A tear rolled down my cheek
and in my head, a voice raised in protest.

It was hard to see you go,
but in the end, it was bound to happen.
It's funny how over time
you think you get to know someone,
but in the blink of an eye they're gone
and you realize you have no idea who they really are.

Use the power

I voted tonight for the first time ever. Not only was it my first time voting, but I am my parents first child to vote. They were very excited and proud. It all felt really good. It felt very empowering. It was nice to be able to finally have a say in how this country's government is run.

A New Beginning

I've been trying to think of some mildly extravagant way to start off this blog, but right now it's really not coming to me. I'll say this: I think this marks a new beginning. "Of what?" you ask. I'm really not sure, but I feel changes are a-brewin'.
