Fairy ants

I feel special 

Every time is see

An ant with wings

And you should too

Cause they only have 

A few days to live

And they’re spending 

them with you

Live the life you want

Gotta live the life 

you want 

they say

Or a close to it

As you 

Can be

Hey everyone 

It’s not 

As cool

But my dollar shop 

Version 

Will do

Maybe one day

I’ll be you

If I keep trying

Keep surviving 

One day I’ll be cool

I’m not bothered

I know everything’s real

But sometimes I wish

It were not

I really need 

To brush my teeth 

But I can’t be bothered 

To get up

I’ll feel disgusting

For days on end

But I won’t remember 

To brush them

I can’t be bothered 

To go to sleep

But I can’t be bothered 

Staying awake 

And I can’t bothered

to do anything 

Even if it’ll

Make me feel great

A bug named Michael

What were you like

When you were alive?

What did you do

When you were breathing?

Would I have seen you?

Would I have scared you?

Would you scare me?

Would you still be here?

What would of happened

When things went differently?

When we could both breath

When did we breathe in time?

Were we ever both there 

With the same air?

Were we ever both alive?

Appleberries

Every day before school

 I go outside

And look for Appleberries

I don't know why

But I love their

Pink transparency

I hate the taste

But they're pretty on a plate 

 

The only person I know

To like them is elderly 

And honesty I

Think that she fakes it

To hang out with me

But it's alright 

Because she's kind 

She can eat my appleberries

Voice

Your voice can make a difference 

Your voice could change the world

Can my voice be someone else's

Cause I don't want to be heard

Can my voice be a text post

On a site that none reads

I can write the poem

But I won't stand up and speak

Can my voice be a gesture 

Can a murmur change the world 

Cause I wish for none

To hear me say words

I could change my voice

My broken mission

I want to go into journalism 

Cause I'm a kid with 

a broken mission

I want to help spread 

What's going on

On this strange side 

Of the giant pond

 

The cult fliers

In school bus stops

The ai teams

Trying to mess with us

All the other

Fucked up stuff

Cause what the hell

Is going on

 

People say

That my job

Will be overtaken 

By robots

newsjournalism

Just blame it on the weather

Even though the rain is pretty

Blame it on the weather

I have no better reason

So I'll blame it on the clouds

I wanna cry

Cause it’s dark in the sky

Thats why I'm tired

That's why I'm lost

It's because of the rain clouds

Lurking above

There's no difference in darkness

There's no difference

 In darkness

As dark grey

Blobs united

You can't see

Our difference

When you can't

See at all

When you can't judge

Someone's shadow

You have to judge 

their soul

When all you see

Is shadows

Can you really

Judge at all

Lifeline

I've got a lot of problems

But I won't die

I pinky promise

So hang up 

the lifeline 

I don't do this

So I will "live right"

I do this 

So I will survive

Human things

Boys don't do that

None does

It’s not a gender thing

It’s a human thing

As far as I know

I’m failing

 

None pays all their attention

To the way they walk

And how they talk

Not as much as me

 

All I've learnt

Is that I'm strange

In the way I walk

And the way I talk

None does the same

 

It just means I'm unique

But it makes me feel 

Like I'...

Cursed

Magical wizards

They've kept me hidden

This far

 

Threatened lighting strikes

Out of clear blue skies

Keep me in jumpers

Year round

 

Because I'm scared of

Animated cars

And shooting stars

'Cause I don't want them

On me

 

This second summer

It's not got funner

But now it's normal

To me

 

If I try harder

I'll be happier 

Curse lifted...

I'll stay

I want to quit

To leave

And never come back

And all that's left of me

Is the wrong name

On a plaque

All I want to be

Is a blurred out face

In a photograph

But I can't leave them there

Like that

 

I wish I could talk

To those who’ve

Done it before

But I can't talk 

To them no more

And I fear me leaving 

Would have 

The same fate

So i’ll st...

A tribute to my brain

My teeth feel fuzzy

I think that's a good thing

My head feels funny

I think that's bad

I’ve got six more hours

And three more days

That's plenty of time

Let's waste it away

My score’s an angel number

Eleven point one percent

And the lighting here is pretty

It makes me feel warm instead

 

I can't do big things

So everything is small

My body’s feeling ick...

Nature's child

If you need 

A place to run

You flew to close

To the sun

That's when

The wild 

Claims you

As its own

 

If you're 

Chased away by

Lights blinding 

The stars will help

You finding

The place that

They call home

 

If city sounds 

Are too much

The birds will

Lead you to 

The brush

Listen to the

Rustling of trees

 

If you get

Trust

Long slevees

Cut my hair

Hell yeah

I trust her 

With my soul

She says I shouldn't though

 

Buts she shouldn't 

trust me either

We watch the world burn

We laugh about it

She could kill me

No dought about it

I don't think she would

So let's just hope

In the good of humanity

 

Let's listen to shitty music

Crush on gay guys from tv

Let's sit on ...

Stuck

I wake up wrong

Every single time

And I'm stuck

Hoping one day 

It'll be right

That the voice 

In my head

Will be mine

That I can talk

Not just in rhyme

Don't get me wrong

I love my life

But I'd change 

Some things

That's not a lie

But I hope the future 

Will be mine

When I look back

Now's not a bad time

Summer storms

Late night talks

On the porch

Sharing things

I've never said before

 

Look for lighting

Watch it strike

Count for thunder

I feel alright

 

Run out in the rain

Ice blocks in hand

Pyjamas are soaked

Parents are mad

 

Let's go outside

For one more night

Look at the sky

And turn off the light

Shadow

His shadow's not his

My shadow's not mine

Because I don't exist

But my shadow is his

So I'll work overtime

Painting dark grey lines

 

Flesh skeletons

All encompassing

Cause we're both beings

But how do I know that's real

When I don't know how to feel

Sitting on the ground

Paintbrush in my mouth

 

My flesh is withering

My speech is sickening 

But I...

Uniform

Fixed my binder

Ripped my tights

Gave bad dating advice

In a uniform 

that doesn't fit me right

 

I walked the walk

I fought the fight

I danced to Chappel Roan

With all my might

Cause I love the dance

And I love my friends

So I'll stay in a skirt

Until the end

If it means that I can

Spend more time with them

I'm just like you

I’m just like you

Now I won't sleep

Staying up till

Half past three

‘cause I feel more like

Myself than usually

 

I’m just like you

Shirtless on the floor

Please ignore the binder

I have been a guy all day

For fourteen hours straight

Please respect the grind 

The fourteen hour pain

 

I’m just like you

I’m just pretend

Only awake till half past ten

People say that I hate you

But I am you

People say you hate me 

But I am thee

People say you hate me

When you make me happy

Joking with everything 

That there is about me

They're not saying

not you

They're saying

They make me happy

Knowing nothing

About me

Being in a group 

Exactly like me

When people say

That the next Gen's doomed

Your cats skull

You gave me your cats skull

It was the nicest thing you could do

It looks really pretty

You even bleached it too

 

But you told me how you shot her

Watched her body decompose

Crawled on by the beatles 

That I let you borrow

 

You told me how our souls combined

When her body hit the ground

How all your love towards her

Can be given to me now

 

You gave m...
