The Clocks are all different,
Never the same time,
Of course the one thats faster,
Is the one I call mine,
I'd like to show you my good intentions,
To try and make everything right,
When I try to do so,
I end up leaving a snake bite,
Inside my head there is a pull start,
These hands just won't sit still,
Flipping through pamphlets,
To try to teach me how to feel,
Maybe my next hello,
Won't sound like a cry for help,
And I won't have to worry,
About just being myself.

I have slept in the clouds,
Swept the stars with a broom,
I have drank from the fountain,
I've swallowed the moon,
I have lived with the wolves,
Danced on the oceans floor,
I have spread peace,
I've started wars,
I have heard all the perfect sounds,
Tasted the purest air,
I've been lost in the night,
And in the sunsets glare,
But you're still ahead,
You've beat me by far,
By just being happy,
With the way things are.

I am an astronaut as i'm stuck in space,
Floating so gently but without a base,
I push into nothing while my arms flail and I coast,
Nothing forever can ever come so close,
I'm not really standing I can't even crawl,
I never take steps so I never really fall,
Its all so charming not to be in a rush,
In an ordinary day of feeling crushed.
-JL
With a cough that doesn't quit,
And a joke that no one gets,
Walk around silently,
With a thick film across my lips,
Now this rope hurts,
Wrapped tightly around my wrists,
I try with all my might,
To simply make a fist,
My feet are bound together,
Straight up to my knees,
Floating slow and steady,
All around the sea,
Each time I go under,
I think of all my cares,
And release them one by one,
With each passing breath of air,
Now i'm almost empty,
More empty than hollow,
And the next breath of air,
Will be the water that I swallow.

The hands of a headache,
Shook my eyes open,
To see that the blade of my fan had been broken,
So I went into the restroom,
Looked at the backside of the mirror,
For thirty-five seconds I saw myself a little clearer,
Dreaming out of windows,
Making wishes off the roof,
My fingers are still crossed,
Only knowing that to be the truth,
Laying back down in the past,
I almost wrote you a letter,
I hung onto every moment,
With the hope of forever.

The Things I Could Be by JustinLathrop, literature
Literature
The Things I Could Be
I want to be the surgeon,
That cuts you open,
And fixes all of lifes mistakes,
I want to be the house,
That you were raised in,
The only place that you feel safe,
I want to be your shower in the morning,
That wakes you up and makes you clean,
But I know i'm just the weather,
Against your window,
As you sleep through a winters dream.

I'm not OK, i haven't been for a long time.
So one day I decided to commit suicide. I failed and was taken to the emergency room, and after that I was taken to a mental ward. I spent 2 weeks there. I had a grand old time. Maybe next time I won't fail.
I got a job! Finally, I know right? Its been a boring and long process. But in the end I got one! Wooo! Also I miss my friend Ally. She knows I miss her. And if she is reading this, lets get together sometime. You know, do some catching up.
