At least sheās following my advice and walking away. Just sucks to be right about not being worth enough to care about. She still doesnāt give a fuck, ironically, going out there with fuckboys just to get off. Iām not worth the thought...And I canāt get these thoughts off my mind. Again and again. I wish I could have no heart. How I feel inside.
You āliving your best lifeā couldnāt have involved me? In any capacity. Empty empty empty. How similar we are.

Making it Easy...for Dummies:
āIām sorryā (but I wonāt change my behavior!).
āI understandā (but Iām not wrong and everyone should know!).
āI careā (but I donāt want to put in effort to show it, itās exhausting).
āIāll show you Iām interestedā (but I wonāt truly give you a minute of my time, even after making plans)
āI need to hear it directlyā (but Iām not going to pay attention or try when you tell me what you need).
āIāll definitely text you when Iām freeā (but youāre not around and I forgot you until you texted me [mad about missing the message of feeling fuckinā forgotten]).
āIām a friendā (but letās stop talking, like, altogether...even though I know what it will do).
Fake through and through (but Iāll stick around to see how real your pain really is).

Hate Love Hate Relationships (Original Poem)
It is always a love hate thing with me.
They love my mask.
They hate that Iām not open and revealing about myself.
They love my smile.
They hate the depression that hides beneath.
They love my work ethic.
They hate to actually step in before I work until Iām broken.
They love to tell me how great I am.
They hate to actually take a chance on me.
They love to tell me Iām worth so much more.
They hate to actually put in the work to prove it.
They love to give me compliments.
They hate that I canāt accept them.
They love me until Iām out of sight.
They hate to actually try to show they care.
I love all those who reach out but most of the time it feels so forced and faked.
I hate that Iām still waiting to be shown what they always say Iām worth.
Prove it.
I love the way they will put me in this hole...
I hate how they walk away from my cries for help.
I love almost everything about truly being loved.
I hate love hate relationships.
Please, someone, show me you love me.
Save me from hating feeling ālovedā forever.
Follow through for once.
Itās easy...I love when someone tries
Donāt hate me for having needs.

Itās Simple so you understand
No need for prose or poetry. This is not freeform anything...No need to talk about it. Iām so tired of games. Iām just done. Why even put in the effort to know me only to not give a fuck about how you treat me. I said I was fragile and I meant it. Iām keeping this as simple as I can because you didnāt listen. It was never about you. You just represent everything I hate with every fiber of my being. I canāt stand feeling like this and youāve put me back in this hole for no reason. Just one day, you changed your mind but didnāt bother to fill me in. Let me keep asking you out...and youād accept. And Iād get two snacks and two drinks and be waiting only for you to forget about me. I was always the casualty of your choice. Lonely hopes up in smoke. Youāre flaky as fuck.
Even if there was no romantic interest at all and it was strictly friendship...you let me down. If ever there was a spark, taking me out on our birthday weekend only to give your number to another guy at the bar wasnāt letting me down easy. You made me believe I could be insecure with you and kept making me feel like you actually cared. But you didnāt. And donāt.
Why would you stay late and talk with me night after night? Why would you ask me very blatant questions showing you were interested in me? Why would you keep saying yes to me only to bail so many times? Why give your number to other guys after buying me drinks? Come the fuck on now.
We both know the truth. It was disrespectful and when you now claim you feel like you did nothing wrong it makes me feel invalidated. And that all your Iām sorry and I understand texts were complete bullshit.
You will never get it. So I wonāt write anymore. I wonāt talk. I wonāt show anyone my light because itās almost out. Thereās no need for prose or poetry. Iām just done. Can you understand now?
Youāre like a nightmare I thought I woke from but Iām so tired and I keep falling back asleep only to be right back in it...because you came back to see whatās left of me. You quit. You quit on us and you quit on me. Why are you back? What do you want from me? What did you want from me?
Canāt it all just go away?

A little less than a hundred poems. Some with deep metaphors. Alliteration. Wordplay. All with meaning. Most about loss. Few about hope. Some about dying...
And my āfriendā couldnāt understand the meaning of āitā. Which one? When I talk of feeling deaf, dumb, limp, and lame? Like Iām shut off from the world. Like a ragdoll, a playtoy, an infatuation as fleeting as your smile, let alone your overall interest in knowing me?
Or was āitā when I ask why Iām never the single and only the B-side, just once could I be THE guy? Wanted. Needed. Thought about in the back of your head like the lyrics you just canāt stop from playing. Yet itās still your favorite song.
I know! It was when I wrote plotting away the day the pain will end until I slip away like dust in this wicked wind. āItā was about feeling suicidal because I give and give to people. Try my best to do right by them (though I never feel like Iāve done enough). Get used and abused and shit out. Wiped away and flushed without a second thought though it always starts with love at first glance...Or am I getting one of āthemā confused with āitā?
āItā must have been the one I wrote about being a fucked up excuse for a table. How, like in every restaurant Iāve ever known, people slide sugar packets instead of taking a moment to fix it. That instead Iām constantly having pieces of me torn out and thrown in the fire to make someone warm while they secretly spend their precious time on this Earth with someone mildly more handsome. That in the end Iām left as charred shards that they can look back at and remember how well I treated them. I stayed as sturdy as I could for as long as I can but I canāt keep losing pieces of myself.
āItā is like the Stephen King novel and youāve become written into my nightmares. Not because Iām sad we arenāt together. But because āitā wasnāt worth the effort. And again, even after your apologies...Iām not even worth āitā to try and understand a single word.

Keep In Touch (Original Poem)
Thereās a fine line between obsession and love,
A line I seem to straddle but always misjudge,
Is my heart skipping a beat or is it a lack thereof,
Always on the edge but you gave me a little shove,
I knew from the start, Iād pay for this courtship in pints of blood,
But hey, no grudge,
Iāll savor each cut until Iāve finally had enough,
Until then I guess weāll ākeep in touchā,
Except that would imply I still give a fuck,
Good Riddance.

Eating Out is an Art (Original Poem)
Like a multi-course meal,
Prepared and served,
I am consumed,
Tickling your palette,
Delighting your senses,
Bringing pleasure,
Chewed properly,
Swallowed,
Slowly descending,
Acidic break down,
Absorbing me,
Used for fuel,
Every nutrient taken,
Remnants defecated,
And summarily flushed,
Everything wiped away,
Thanks for coming,
Ask for me again.

You treat me like Iām worth less than worthless,
I wasnāt enough but I donāt deserve this,
Wouldāve been your ally til the end,
Now, weāre nothing; not even friends.

Pay Me No Mind (Original Poem)
Often I imagine my cold, rigor mortis limbs,
Silently slipping beyond my thoughts,
Will tonight I reach my lonely end,
Action is more powerful,
Than my words with page and pen,
Writing the tragedy that aches and breaks,
My shattered soul within,
Fuck this world and all itās shit,
This broken feeling never mends,
Who the fuck needs existence,
When pain is all itās ever been,
Too cowardly to actually follow through,
For the sake of family and friends,
So Iām left to plot and plan the day,
Iāll slip away like dust in this wicked wind.

I'm Shallow (Original Short Poem)
I wade in shallow waters,
Keep my head above the surface,
For in these depths,
The sharks circle, waiting.

Life or Death (Original Lyrics)[RoboJ on the beat]
1:12ish
Mind full of sorrow
Set out to pace the square,
Just me and my thoughts,
Aināt nobody else there,
What am I doing,
Why do I still exist,
The more I think about it,
The more my mind resists,
Nothing to lose,
Nothing to say,
I just refuse,
To live this way,
Thereās no guarantees,
So place your bets,
Roll the dice again,
With every breath,
Will I attain,
All that I wanted,
Or will I remain,
Forever Haunted.
2:06ish (Scream style) Chorus:
Break the curse,
Curse it all,
Iām on the ledge,
Now watch me fall
Forever Haunted x2
Daily depression,
Six feet deep,
A light extinguished,
Eternal sleep,
Shattered inside,
Bag of broken glass,
Iād trade my soul,
To bring her back,
Leaning forward,
With one foot floating,
Flying without wings,
See more soaring,
Hitting the pavement,
Equal exchange,
Give it all up,
To bring her back again,
Just a little girl,
The age of nine,
In a perfect life,
I gave her mine.
Chorus repeats

Where's My Money, Bitch? (Original Poem)
This pen I hold smolders violently,
The slightest wind igniting thoughts to paper,
But honestly - how pretentious is that?
Like words on a page have any effect,
Iām no Plato,
My methods far from Socratic,
And only through this lens,
Is my life poetic,
Who the fuck cares?
Theyāll call it middle-upper class plight,
And ethically I tend to concur,
So many have it worse than I,
I think I can,
I think I can,
Suck it up pathetic little white boy,
Youāll get by.

Periodically a Table: Chemically Unbalanced (Original Poem)
I am not like other tables,
They being built on a solid four legs,
Sharp corners but sleek,
Minor aesthetic issues over time,
I was hastily constructed,
In high school shop class,
Uneven legs,
Coarse non-laminated exterior,
Rounded edges splintering from being used,
Not exactly level,
But damn it, Iām a table too!
Love like sugar packets,
Prop me up so all is right,
No one wants to put in the work to help,
Sand off these splinters,
To give a clear coat,
Some sealant,
A new set of legs,
I could be perfectly utilized,
Instead, looked at fondly,
As an inherently flawed attempt,
To simply deal with,
Until they ask,
To sit elsewhere,
Iām still just Jesse,
Built to serve,
A sugar packet world,
That has given up on me,
Tearing my wooden pieces off,
To light the fireplace,
Kindred kindling,
Providing light and warmth,
While they dine on another,
In blissful silence,
With my smoke to the sky,
Ash and ember left to die,
Swept and thrown out,
With the rubbish,
To this world,
I belong in the dump,
With fond memories,
Of how useful,
These charred shards were.

Martyr, Dumb (Original Poem)
Thereās plenty of fish in the sea,
Unless youāve got an oily black soul like me,
Separate yourself and contain the damage,
āLove at first sightā begins the slow expansion,
Destruction of natural beauty,
Disastrous to surrounding life,
Soiling the good and impossible to stop the spread,
Opposites attract until itās too late,
Am I even capable of love?
Cerebral dissection and emotional lobotomy from minute one,
Can I ever escape my logical brain?
Heart taking the wheel,
Igniting the power of passion,
In lieu of counterfeit lust,
Will I ever feel like I am, or have gotten, enough?
Or will I rot away mentally isolated,
Each passing day,
Each new āOne and Onlyā,
Drives another nail through flesh,
My Self-Crucifixion,
A solid Pillar of Hope for the Hopeless,
Despite the obvious fact,
The blind leading the blind,
The cross to bear is solely mine,
āIāll be fineā,
Until the day I decide to leave this world behind,
Please, carry the torch to the finish line,
I love you all,
Good night.

Read Between The Lies (Original Poem)
In this house I hide,
With a pain that cannot be described,
Identifying what I feel inside,
Depression that cannot be quantified,
Another piece of me died tonight,
I canāt take this all in stride,
Putting my heart through this coaster ride,
When heart and brain collide,
āLove Eternalā has been shown again a lie,
The idea now resides in the Great Divide,
Never the single, always the B-side,
Just once could I be THE guy?
I cannot find my would-be bride,
So in these lines I will confide,
If youāre out there and ever arrive,
Simply love me until the end of time,
Without love, I cannot nor will not survive.

The Boy Who Cried Wolf (Original Poem)
These thoughts hemorrhage inside my head again,
They bleed out of my hands in shitty, angst-filled poems of woe,
Leak from my eyes as I stare at the nightās sky,
Itās going to be another one of THOSE nights.
Insecurity isnāt sexy, nor vulnerability in a man,
Why is it that I am so easily forgotten?
This is NOT a cry for help, I swear.
Anxiety and panic attacks are a daily ritual by now,
The romantic ideal of love is drowning,
As these self-deprecating thoughts pool around my insides,
This internal scar tissue may never heal,
And I canāt help but spiral further down this dark, beaten path,
Further into the predatory depths of my depression,
Even the fact I fight this every day,
Amplifies the sense of pain and hopelessness,
This is NOT a cry for help, I swear.
Donāt cry for me, Argentina.
They say weāre only given the load of adversity we can handle,
But this beast of burden is broken now,
Maybe itās time to go the way of Old Yellerā¦
Someone come put me down! But remember,
This is NOT a cry for help,
I swear.
