Enemy Of Commonality

I exist when I am validated
I am this as I was procreated
I like life, although sometimes I hate it
I wish that I could eliminate it
I am worthy of what I am weighted
I am who I am still to be stated
I am choking, I need to be resuscitated
I expect more than I’m always getting
Caught up at the start of every ending
Bouncing back each message I am sending
Disrespecting those I am commending
Just take me away from here already
I am lost I need a new beginning
I am broken and I’ve got no chance of mending
Teach me to love myself
I haven’t learned that well
I am bleeding and breeding excuses
I hope that you never tell
Force me to hate who I was
I need this change just because
I am finding that fighting is harder
When you’re against everyone
And you’re the enemy of commonality
Good luck on winning this one
I will rise and I will fall to pieces
I am strong and that’s my only weakness
My ferocity comes as it pleases
I don’t want, I desperately need this
It’s the day and I am gonna seize it
It’s my calling, it’s my destiny and
I have found that it’s hard to take most things easy
Teach me to love myself
I haven’t learned that well
I am bleeding and breeding excuses
I hope that you never tell
Force me to hate who I was
I need this change just because
I am finding that fighting is harder
When you’re against everyone
And you’re the enemy of commonality
Good luck on winning this one
Have I painted myself as a villainous man?
Well I swear to the heavens it wasn’t my plan
Oftentimes I am reckless with my words and my hands
And I drop all that’s in them, they shatter like glass
Am I preaching forgiveness or do I just sound crass?
I’m beseeching my peers to give me one more chance
I am sick of being treated like I am the last
And I just want this whole thing to implode and pass
Teach me to love myself
I haven’t learned that well
I am bleeding and breeding excuses
I hope that you never tell
Force me to hate who I was
I need this change just because
I am finding that fighting is harder
When you’re against everyone
And you’re the enemy of commonality
Good luck on winning this one

Jennifer And Her

We met in CLH, best friends of a friend
I wanted to know all I could right there and then
We joked around a bit before I knew your names
You two looked so alike, your faces were the same
We moved from place to place, laughed from shot to shot
I had no chance with her, two chances left I thought
I’m glad we stayed in touch, I’ve had a lot of fun
But I must focus up, I can only have one
I’ll tell it like it is, I’ve got no words to waste
I just get so choked up whenever I see her face
My eyes will not stay shut when I hear her speak
I’m flustered and fucked up and contradictory
The girls are in my world
There’s Jennifer and her and her and her
One’s a bit more bold, one is more reserved
I know I like the prior, and she’s the one I deserve
It’s good to have the option, when all else seems to fail
I’ve had years of broken hearts still bleeding on my trail
I live over here, she lives over there
An hour apart but much too close to turn this to despair
I may be overthinking, I know I probably am
So sue me for attraction, loneliness I just can’t stand
I’ll tell it like it is, I’ve got no words to waste
I just get so choked up whenever I see her face
My eyes will not stay shut when I hear her speak
I’m flustered and fucked up and contradictory
The girls are in my world
There’s Jennifer and her and her and her
I’m giving time to here I don’t know if she wants
Feel bad for trying to speak to her around the clock
I won’t know what will happen when I travel all that far
So J please let me know if I can give my heart to R
I’ll tell it like it is, I’ve got no words to waste
I just get so choked up whenever I see her face
My eyes will not stay shut when I hear her speak
I’m flustered and fucked up and contradictory
The girls are in my world
There’s Jennifer and her and her and her

Your Move, Slugger

We finally spoke again
Not like an ex-girlfriend
But as a human that I care about
And hadn’t heard from
You asked me If I did
Regret me ending it
I said I didn’t, but the times we had
Were good ones
I messaged you again tonight
You said you and him had a fight
You said you needed to cut ties
Said “Thanks” but didn’t say “Goodbye”
I shouldn’t miss you like I do
But I guess now we’re even too
And now I feel certain mood
Like you felt when I broke up with you
In the past year and a half
We haven’t had a laugh
Haven’t seen you, since school got out
But I heard you’re happy
I guess that’s good to know
You’ve beat me in that zone
You deserve it, you really do
From where I’m standing
The way you said it left me shocked
Gave me everything you got
I don’t know why I care a lot
But I just do, that is my thought
But I know bits of how you felt
When I told you we had to shelve
The couple we knew as ourselves
We stayed in our own kinds of hells
I’ll only miss you as a pal
I didn’t get to know that well
After our split, emotional
His jealously is the control

I see the beauty deep in the shade of gradience
I see the way it fades away as radiance
Soldiers of time can haunt me, I'm not afraid of this
Pressure comes down but I still breath underneath the weight of this
I start to mutter, my words won't come out
The TV is fodder to fry my brain out
I'm new the the system of realizing doubt
I just get so bothered when you call me out
My feelings: a family linked to anxiety
Stuck in discomfort in sitting or standing
I sleep when I want to I eat when I want to
I still end up doing too much of the both of them now
I watch the sunrise and I don't get weird about burning my skin
I'm trying to put a silence to the little voice within
Call me a coward but I don't see reason in hallucinogen
I think it's better to just stay coherent in daily discussion
I start to mutter, a cat grips my tongue
My music is fodder and not good enough
I'm sick of the system and what it's become
I'm shaking and bothered by being the one
Who's always accused of lack of understanding
And doing things wrong without chance of recovery
I'm trying my hardest, I'm trying my hardest
But they don't seem interested in my hardest at all
I watch the seasons start to transition from beautiful to harsh
I can’t get over the changing of the weather at least not from the start
Adjustment disorderly sensitive youth with a small and fragile heart
And when I’m outgoing there’s no way of knowing to tell myself apart
I start to mutter, my lips chapped and dry
Your feelings are fodder and not self-implied
I’m used to the system of closing my eyes
I’m useless and bothered by things in my life
The appreciation for my sole existence
Is hard to establish and harder to witness
I want to get better, I need to get better
I don’t know If I’m ever going to get better than this
