I've had a permanent frown ingrained between my eyes all day.
I don't feel your the one to calm my shaking hands.
do you even see my bleeding hands?
they shake and paint my shirt a tye died diaster.
I don't think I can handle the chaos much longer. How can so much debri float in the air like nothing.
Huge chunks of human matter, such lonely organs from those who have defied reality.

With a wave of an always dirty hand and a small smirk
we discard our imaginations under park benches.
Leave them for a real child, with a real mind. Mine has dissolved, who am I kidding.
All my good friends are good liars, what does that make me?

Portions of my body stick from walls,
but the art is watering down the plants so deep that we can't stand,
or swim or converse in straight lines.
Ever.
Even on sundays when the light feels so bright in my finger tips
and I'm on the brink of something holy.
Even on mondays when I'm weary as all hell.
And there's a permanent tear smeared in a cup
and a blue eye smashed between mine.
at all times.

"Portions of my body stick from walls,

"Huge chunks of human matter, such lonely organs from those who have defied reality."

those are some of the coolest lines i've read in a while... i'm looking forward to seeing another one from you

When you lose small mind,
You free your life."

I can't believe i overlooked this either.
"Discard our imaginations under park benches"
this was really good.  
come to think of it, there's doesn't seem to be too many people around at all.  but seriously, good job.
