What if
What was red to me
wasn't red to you?
You saw a color that looked more like my blue?
But how could we test it?
How could we tell?
That what is obviously my world
Would be misunderstood so well
If you poked around in my head
Looked through my eyes
And noticed that, instead
of black being what you thought
Through my eyes it is not
There's no way to truly prove or guess
That what you see and I see
Converge without some sort of mess
Of judgment

For Now
On my mind
Life is not so easy to spread among friends on a verbal sandwich
Or drip casually into the collective bucket
Mine
And they possess their own living.
Unasked, untold - I'll ease myself sideways through comfort functions
My profile is pleasing angled this way, no?
Just HA
LF
of my face, but enough for now
For now
I'm fine, how are you?
That's all
Tell us about weekend-and-laughter touches
It's all we need to hear, here
Until the end
My anxious is bearable
Waiting and made busy
Except for the timing of oddness
When the swish and swirl of familiar colors is dizzying
All that can be done then
Must be done alone.
Run out the spell into subsiding

Dramatic
I could say so much right now to you all
So many accusations and names to call
Calm down, stop crying,you know we all feel it
Leave me alone, I'm unable to bear it
But, though I posses ample desire to snap,
I put my head down, keep my hands in my lap
I count backwards to ten and bite my lip red
I know by feeling dramatic I'm often misled

Pointless Life
What does one do with a pointless life?
Put it in a box for later?
Give it away to someone
Who would actually use it?
Honestly
What can a person do with something
That feels a lot like nothing?
I believe that a person who never
figures out what to do with a pointless life
Stays in a place that molds around them
And, instead of something coming from nothing
The nothing continues to dissolve
And the pointless life
Loses all value
And can't be sold for five cents
At the cheapest second hand store
Even if you throw in
A free bit
Of purpose

Dumbest
The dumbest way to be
Is to feel a dumb thing
Like jealousy
You can want and wish until you're sore
But wishing doesn't make you get any more
So you just sit in a pointless state
Doing something as stupid,
Idiotic,
And wasteful
As wait

Lack of Sleep
Little pebbles of pointless criticism
Adorn my dull facade
Crippled by my own neglect
Killing myself by simply missing sleep
Only a nap heals my headaches
Forgetful and bleary, I attempt to focus
Sliding along with bursts of awakeness
Luckily, I can get by
Even though it is ridiculously difficult
Exact measures are out of the question
Perhaps it is time for some self-discipline

Someday
Someday I hope to be a Someone
Going out and doing things that Somebodies do
Whether it falls to saving the world
Creating a cause, or making something new
I wish to plaster my name Somewhere
Have it stark and barren for all
No matter the ink or the height of the letters
So long as it's sturdy and will never fall
I'd love to be a figure in history
People would look back at the way
I did great things, how I changed the world
I would forever be remembered Someday
But it's a fearful possibility
That I could be a Nobody
Who goes Nowhere, does Nothing
And finds that there is no way
For my dreams to be more than
A wish for Someday
Going out and doing things that Somebodies do

I'd love to be a figure in history
