Plastic Vegan 🌱

"Plastic Vegan" 

Running around in circles, crying for your always fleeting attention.

factory manufactured smile

You’re too busy worrying about societies unrealistic expectations to

notice that I love you for you. 

Crumbling under the the pressures misguided and misrepresented 

social trends you adorn your paper crown, wondering all the while why

the world isn’t waiting for you.

Seeking empty validation for those who refuse to see you for who

you are, only the polished version you present.

They only see their warped versions of you, the ones that better themselves

and fuel their wants and needs, yet you cling to them as if everything depends

on it, forgoing the one who’s standing waiting for who you want to be. 

You’re always leaving me to wonder about your intentions.

You sold your innocence for designer dreams and empty desires

that fail to reflect the real you. 

"Twisted"

Hating the way you’ve twisted my beliefs and way of thinking,

your meanings caught up in all the muddle of all your translations.

Hating the way you made me doubt myself and made me feel like

I would never be enough no matter what I do. 

I was a fool for mistaking your cruelty for sarcasm,

I lay in bed wondering why I wasn’t enough for you to just be honest.

And now I’m left with are remembrances that were never real at all.

"The Darkness of Brilliance" 

Tangled crossroads and words that were never meant to be said.

Every single moment with you I had the risk of goodbye weighing over me.

I never knew the things that needed to be said to keep you by my side.

I feel the slightest twinge of regret because I fell or you. 

We start and stop again, talking of everything that could be, ignoring the things

that are.

We spent evenings discussing a eutopia we'd buid;

Disillusioned by the lights of a better future,

we run to the light, doing everything we can not to acknowledge the rising tide

behind us. 

And when I say goodbye to you, nothing will ever be more painful than the knowledge

that things are better off this way. 

"Tick Tock"
The streetlights illuminate the path that will take me away from everything that
I used to call home.
Winding roads of exploration spread out before me,
despite my feelings of time escaping me.
The lights that once kept the darkness at bay are now just a distant memory.
I’ve spent my life in the pursuit of attaining all that I believed would bring me 
adoration, glory and comfort, only to find I’ve been stripped everything I’ve ever wanted.
The sun rises and sets day after day, slaughtering the moon with her brilliance and I
feel that nothing has ever changed. 
I’m still trapped in the same desperation I’ve tried for almost two decades to escape.
Time is nothing but a locked window, a door with a trick lock.
The idea that time heals all wounds is something that only fools say. 

"Encased" 
I’ve never learned to say no to you,
too afraid to stand alone without the safety of your presence,
never realising that you weren’t there.
I was childish and naive, losing myself inside of you.
Clawing at the ways, begins you to free me, 
blind to the truth that you are both my jailer and confinement.
Trading one abuse for another,

refusing to look past your round angelic face.
