One of my best friends came out as bisexual to me and I'm so proud of him.

Last night I fell asleep looking at the sky,
But the the star that has always been there,
Wasn't.

We build ourselves up,
Just to brutally tear ourselves down,
On a whim.

My hobbies include,

-Making strangers feel awkward
-People-watching on streets
-Having my earphone volume up deafeningly loud
-And making the weirdest first impressions

It's like the ignition,
Definition,
Of your lips,
Collision and attrition,
Wearing my breath away.

Fight it.

Take the pain, ignite it,
Tie a noose around your mind,
Loose enough to breathe fine,
And tie it to a tree,
Tell it,
"You belong to me,
"This ain't a noose this is a leash,
"And I have news for you..

"You must obey me."

I'll stay awake,
'Cause the dark's not taking prisoners tonight.

Sometimes to stay alive,
You gotta kill your mind.

The only kind of strong I am,
Is strong for other people.

My mind was set to sail,
But you came along and drowned it.
My thoughts fought for their reign,
But you sought a spear and found it,
And you plunged it deep in my flesh.

My soul burned to be free,
But you earthed me and quenched it.
My will was earning wings,
But you disagreed and wrenched it,
From the skies that mended my hurt.

My faith knocked down my walls,
But you raised them and restrained it.
My past was turning blank,
But you snatched your quill and stained it,
With black grief that haunts you tonight.

I hungered for your fall,
But you mocked me and postponed it.
My ghost could take no more,
But you played your game and owned it,
For you have always been me.
