photographic memory

two speeds,
high and low
two functions
stop and go.
its either or
and there's no in between
its up and down
but its not what it seems
its been low so long
i could hardly see
the cycle that repeats in me.
what triggered this one?
i cannot tell.
but it must have been something
cuz somehow i fell
in to this ocean
where i cant find the surface
my big falling out
cuz nothing seems worth it.
i feel very stuck
in the plainest of words
as i said before
i'm the sky but not the birds.
i feel alive
but not living at all
as repeated again
i'm a pretty china doll.
i want to break this endless curse
i want to
but i don't know what's worse
being addicted
having something i need
or watching these veins
endlessly bleed.
i need some answers
but not to be fixed
i need to try
but i don't want the risk
of being all wrong
and robbed of my reason
don't take my excuse
for that would be treason.
i need a result
but not an experiment
i need some solutions
but wont risk argument.
i know very well
what its all about
and i don't need anyone
to fill me with doubt.
and so i'm afraid
but i cant go on.
i want to see if i'm right
or know that i'm wrong.
no more illusions
no more abandon vs trust
no more freak outs
no more love vs lust.
i want to step forward
as i've tried so much
i need something real
something to touch.
i need to tell my story
in the right way
i need to write something,
something to say!
because everything feels endless
and it all bleeds though
i need to compartmentalize
i need to know what's true!
i need you to help me
ill give you my trust
need you not to get tired
cuz that makes two of us.
i have my perfect picture
in my memory
my beautiful dreams
my personal reverie.
the sight of the street
i want to walk down
the beautiful moments
from when you were around.

i dont want to end this.

neverland.

ill never write again!
you scream in my face
as if your sad scribblings
have taken breaths place.

ill never dream again!
as you slam the door
as so many times
you've done before
every night
before you go to bed
you purge every thought
out of your head
and you wake up
with sweat blotched sheets
and all the anger you find
shows red on your cheeks

ill never bleed again!
as you tear at your skin
releasing every thought
held within

ill never speak again!
as you silently shut down
but i can still hear you
screaming out loud.

ill never dance again!
and that is the biggest pretend.
the words that came out,
you would never defend.

ill never fall again.
this one you'd like to be true
and every doubt
you'd like to see through.

but never say never
because in the end
shouting you'll never
is your biggest pretend.
there are a few places that wont leave my head
my dining room
the auditorium
the phone.

i need to stop being sad.
its really getting in the way of being happy.

pretty pretty pretty

does no one understand that elliott smith is just. SO GOOD.

what i used to be will pass away and then you'll see
that all i want now is happiness for you and me.

quick note : never ever make me think something like that. i couldn't bear it.


we surrendered
but they slaughtered us anyway
and we remembered how distant
the word yesterday
every word of despair and agony
rolled right off our tongues
but for recognition of yesterday
we found none.
i guess in a ghost town
you don't understand
that time passes
with each grain of sand.
we held no significance
to the time passed
we were only here and now
as hours of time elapsed.
everything felt as stuck
as the hooks in our hearts
and our immobility
is what set us apart.
we were not human
we were not man
we were just as disposable
as each grain of sand.
sitting in the hourglass
frozen as ice
no intent to escape
no move is precise.
or is it a snow globe
where we make our pretty war scene
the snow floating around us
to make us more beautiful than we seem.
the falling snow
burns like acid
in our wounds
but we are all quite passive.
we are the undead
we are the in between
we are the living ghosts
we are the unseen
we are the beheaded kings
we are the brothers of the dead
we are the angels without wings
we are the blood that isn't red.
we are the books without words
we are the waiting line
we are the skies without birds
we have stepped out of time.
we are the lost boys
and the lips unkissed
we are the counters of sand
and we do not exist.

i need to keep this safe

Sunday, February 21, 2010

fuck

i want you to know
that i wrote a hole page
and threw it out
in uncommon rage.
everything i say
makes me wanna puke
and everything i write
reminds me of the truth.
and nothing i could speak
could make me feel better
because the world injects falseness
in every letter.
i dont know how to feel
in this time of uncertainty
i feel like every solution
is layered with complexity
i dont want to feel
any emotion
when they wash over me
like waves of an ocean
with no fair warning
and no reason why
no explanation,
just high and low tide.
i have no right
to be throwing around words
as if they matter
as if theyre unheard
a selfish being
i believe myself to be
because there is really
nothing wrong with me.
they thing that went wrong
is i was given information
the stuff i can use
to make a good explanation.
and try as i might
ill never conceive
that i have the right
the right to believe
that i need something
that others do not
because i should made do
with all that ive got.
i wish i could be worthy
of anything now
i wish i could move ahead
but i dont know how
i wish i could shut up
and just move on
but i feel about as useless
as the kings forgotten pawn.
i dont make sense
and i dont even try
i wish i could do more
than sit and rely
on people who will leave me
as people always do
because people are just people
and what regina says is true.

cortland

that knife is lookin real pretty
that bottles lookin good
let the pills inside
do what no man could.
it feels better to think this
even if its not true
every day distorted
just to find an excuse
im so sick of writing
im so sick of thinking and feeling and all the shit
and that one small phrase
isnt the common denominator
(is it?)
i used to wonder
why people smiled
even when their heats were broke
and why they laugh
like life is a joke.
but now i have
that twinkle in my eye
and give you
such a sinister good bye.
i go to my room
and laugh for hours
as if i hold
all the worlds powers.
because i feel so special
holding such a big secret
playing the game
how long can you keep it?
do something dangerous
just to feel the thrill
do something unhealthy
just to test your will
never touch a person
so they cant affect you
never look in a mirror
because it will just reflect you.
but a bright pink sticker
on everything you want
lets keep it quiet,
act nonchalant.
lets slam doors,
lets not talk,
we'll draw a line down the middle
with an old piece of chalk
we'll call it even
all said and done
you take the moon
and ill take the sun.
we'll call it even
even when yr dead
even if you froze
to death instead.
you take one
ill take the other
and well walk away
and forget about each other.

"she who is brave is free"

she sleeps with a knife under her pillow
she says to cut the bad dreams out.
she turns on all the water
because she's afraid of drought.
she opens all the windows
because she wouldn't want a flood.
and she never goes outside
because she's afraid she'll slip in mud.
she eats everything well done
so her stomach wont churn.
but she'll never use the stove
because she thinks she'll get a burn.
she'll never use a microwave,
no, thats not the answer.
she doesnt even own one
because shes afraid of getting cancer.
she used to make toast
until she learned of electrocution.
and she will not use an oven
because she thinks it'll cause pollution.
she doesnt dry her hair
because shes afraid of an explosion.
and shes never tasted sugar
because she fears enamel erosion.
she mostly sits inside
and writes pretty stories
about the life she imagines outside
and all of its glories.
she writes in pen
(non toxic of course)
because she heard about lead
and the pencil, its source.
she'd like to see if her stories are true
because no one wants to write lies.
her only wish is to be brave enough
to get up and go outside.

it was
just for yesterday.
just for a day.

so sheets back to black
electric charged arms
stolen from the kitchen
with intention to harm.
remember those sticks and stones?
that break yr bones?
words hit much harder
than a father hits his daughter.
i wish you would
and maybe itd pass
because yr additude
it breaks me like glass.
you say to me
"tell me what would make you happy"
you ask me because
"i so deserve to be"
but i cant be good
at least good enough
im a pre mature diamond
still a little rough.
but the big secret
youll never know
i went beyond repair
a long time ago.
and you say i dont have to
when i know that i do
you try to tell me
"nothing matters but you"
but thats not the way it works
if it did i wouldnt be so hurt.
i wouldnt care
that youll never be proud
and id never cry
like a sky full of clouds.
and id never justify
being all fucked
and id never try
to self destruct.
now i dont want to do this
but i think that i should
maybe youd love me
and maybe id feel good.
its worth a shot
cuz i would do anything
to make me feel
like i amounted to something.
i wish i could talk to you
i wish i could get through
because you are the answer
to numbers one and two.
every word
feels like a lie
because ive got better things
to do with my time
im sorry i tried
and im sorry i cant
and im sorry i write
all the stupid rants.
but i doubt you listen
you never do
two more years,
then im through
im through trying
trying for you

today

today
was
a good day.

last night
was
a good night.

im really glad i came
i had fun today.
im glad we got to hang out a little.

oh. oooooooh. uuum. uh.
actually.
no. no thanks.

you make me happy
whether you know it or not.
third line.

it good, no this is ok
nah its fine its good.
nah really, im glad. its good.

we
never
talk. anymore.

its a shame.
but its ok
cuz i saw that comin.

(you broke your promise)

today was all beautiful and maroon
and everything was so nice and summer is so soon
and i felt ok
just for today
and some stuff made me smile
and i think it was worthwhile.
a few stars for my pocket
a few hopes for my locket.
.. im nice to you
i could make it through..
well lets not be silly!
..........................................................

i just feel like
a ticking time bomb
and we'll never know
if the wires we cut were wrong
till judgement day
till its too late
and we aint got nothin
to use as bait.
cuz the bomb
you see
is in a cage made of ribs
inside me.
and the time's counting down
listen hard, youll hear the sound
bumbum bumbum is that it should be
but tic tic tic is the only sound out of me.
so i stand here all puzzled as the doctor pokes and prods.
and the paparazzi flashes and clicks, all jaw dropped and awed.
and i cant go swimming cuz the bomb pulls me down
and i cant sing cuz i cant make a sound.
i tried to dance but my soul is low
and i tried to tell you, but that failed also.
and then one day
the wick ran out.
and the girl,
she died.
but she didnt scream or shout.
the funeral came about
and the church bells they rang
and they wrote on her grave
"but man, she went out with a bang"

happy birthday, my names jessie desalvia

happy valentinessssssday.

im pretty sure im over being sad cuz im
a
l
o
n
e
every valentines day.
cuz really, i wasnt!
i got panini, tomcat, beccabear, kaitman, kathleenershnitchel, speedy gonzales and gracie westerner.
im all set.

ps. papers basements curiosity salt and wishes.

Friday, February 12, 2010

and i find i kind of funny i find it kind of sad. the dreams in which i'm dying are the best i've ever had

dreams i call them.

and one thing i love
is waiting under the waves
and the pressure
of every one
collapsing down on me.
saltwater is not different from tears
ambitions are no different from fears.
china doll,
watch it fall
1000 pieces on the ground
beauty shattered all around.
my favorite part was always her red lips.

and everything i miss
and everything i smell
smells the same
and everything i see
is to blame.
.....................
i frequently go to that place
i go just incase
it ever escapes me
though i know it never will
every wish youll never fill..

and i dont care about anything now
but one thing
thats just hearing you sing
because you cant leave me
even if you tried
i have every song playing inside
"A lot of hours to occupy, it was easy
When I didn't know you yet
Things I'd have to forget
"
..................................
im watching animals kill each other on tv
and wondering what is happening to me
the moment of calm before life escapes
and the look of glory on the lions face.
is that what you think?
how things should be?
is this what you expect?
the world that you see?

how gentile the lion is to his kind
confuses me to no end.
i guess thats just your choice, king
whos neck would you like to wring?

i guess im no lion
just a measly deer
living my life
on strands of fear.

i spend too much time on
wishing i could be a lion
strong and beautiful
instead of just so damsel.
i just want to be her.

in a world where i cant.
i just want to be big
in the life of an ant.
i wish i was inspired
instead of so envious
i wish i was cured
of this stupid illness.

its really a bummer you know?
feeling like you lost something?
well i suppose you dont


Wednesday, February 10, 2010

oh i wish..

my dad would get a job

my mom would move out

they both would leave me alone.

my sisters would come home.

i didnt have to stop dancing

i could stop crying.

i could start sleeping

you would get out of my head.

i wasnt tempted with this new propisition.

it was easier to die.

i wasnt so emo.


Tuesday, February 9, 2010

Sunday, February 7, 2010

i need a new direction to get me around

i say i will be better
but i always fall flat on my face
i feel like ive lost
something you cant replace.
and i feel like im falling
in the hole that was left
when that something was ripped out
ripped out of my chest.
i feel like the fall broke my spine
and i cant move a muscle
i can only decline.
and i cant get out
and i can only scream and shout.
i feel so stupid
looking up at the world
i feel like nothing
but a little girl.
i feel like my poetry sticks
and i vomit it out. its only confirming
what everyone already thinks.
little one, you're pathetic.
little one, youre dumb.
she doesnt know
shes just young.
the secret you dont know
ill let you in on
i always feel like this
and i dont know whats wrong.
my good dreams are bad and my bad ones feel good.
in the bad ones i do
what i never could.
in the good ones
im her
in the world made for me
in the good ones im what
you want me to be.
until they all go sour
my hands grab my neck
take away my air
because its all i have left.
i guess theyre all the same
neither good or bad
just reminds me of myself
which makes me feel sad.
i used to go to sleep with hope
that itd help
now i just hope
ill sleep by myself.
i hope i dont see anyone in my dreams
i hope i dont wake up to the sound of screams.
i want to be better
i know that is true
for for the moment
all i can do
is hope for good weather
and spring to come
all i can do
is greet it with the warmest welcome
because maybe it will be better with the sun in my eyes
maybe it will help by making me blind.
maybe i will see past everything now
through a squinted brow.
and just maybe ill get
to go away
and start everything over
like a brand new day.


im a free bitch baby!

im starting to feel.



im starting to wonder.


(scared)


(what will i do)

my heart is starting to feel.
like its
beating
funny.
and i cant
breathe
and i might cry.

and im starting to think.
that
im very
very
scared.
and i miss you.

and its silly,
all the things you let me say?
to you
that
were
wrong.
and now i cant live without the things you let me take
and then took back.
one time i needed you

and now
im scared of the lengths ill go
to fill that hole.
im sorry for you
thats just dumb.

(my heart is hurting
physically
slipping on all this blood
in here)

now im scared.
now ive come down.
now you win.

what will i do
now.
when things happen.
touch my hands.

i keep tripping in the doorway.
twice
i saw you
twice
i freaked out
twice
i went
as far away
as fast
as possible
twice
you saw me break a little.
its ok.
ill never see you again.
i like to think.

i cant breathe
the hole
took the air from my lungs.
and now i cant breathe anymore
and its a struggle i cant win.
there are no words i can say to make the water go away
its a war i dont want to fight
its a fight i dont want to win.
but the animal keeps my legs kicking.
though id rather just open my mouth
and let the water fill the hole
and let the river drag me under.


Thursday, February 4, 2010

now i see

"Mondays I sleep away,
Tuesdays I lay awake,
Wednesdays.... are the worst.
Thursdays I reminisce
Friday, I see your face and I can't breathe."


every day i feel different.
some days
i feel ok.
some days i force it.
some days,
there's a hole in my chest.
its like a slap in the face every time though.
of corse i know
and i am ready
but i still have to take the blow.
every day i trip in the doorway
like i ran into glass.
i dont understand what happens
but it must be plain on my face
so i just dont look anymore.
and has the world gone mad?
as if we dont notice?
that a rather large piece of the puzzle is missing?
but what can we do?
what would you like us to do?
because of corse we are only in existence to please
you pigs.
but of corse
i am too afraid
and protecting of my pride
to say a word
out loud.
i like to think of myself as a nice girl
i dont want to be mean.
i dont want to feel like i have to.
id rather not turn my skin into armor.
but i cant see why i wouldnt.
too many examples
ive seen..
who gave you this right?
was it us, did we do something to make you think you had permission to be like this?
no, i dont think so.
i dont understand where it got put in your head that chivalry should die.
when it became ok to act with no regard to others
because its best for yourself.
so what should i do?
do things that feel wrong?
act totally indifferent to you?
act totally rude to you?
i suppose i should just be spitting back out whatever you give me.
but then
whats the point at all.
i love being there for you
or at least trying.
i try so hard
to be the best i can for the people in my life.
but it seems.
they just leave me.

but whatever.
i should keep in mind
they were only temporary.
life is only temporary.



Wednesday, February 3, 2010

tell me why

now all I need is an apology
but damn that’s too much!

i guess im excited
for my new house
but im scared too.
hmm
i just hate waiting
if things are happening i want them to happen
i want to decorate right now.
but it will be weeks, months.
and i want my car.
(as if i can drive it)
im just sick of being here
its too tense.
but in reality i think im just sick of winter and of school.
i want freedom and summer.
(i. want. NYSSSA!!)

ps.
khkjdjfnekjmd
ihatethisihatethisihatethis
i wishwishwishwish

but its out the window now.

out with the old in with the new

over prepared to the point of numbness
i suppose life is a stage and im the actress.
putting on the show, singing along
bullshitting the fuck out of every song.
corsets keep my insides in
powder my cheeks, keep the house dim.
delivering every line
in perfect time.
the monologue means nothing to me.
the perfect facade,
the audience applauds.
they all are fooled,
ive fulfilled the rule.
enjoy the moment
moment in the sun
because backstage
it all comes undone.
"put on a happy voice for me"
dont break the rules.
dont let them see.
put honesty second,
force product first.
be just what we ask of you,
perform as rehearsed.
carry the world atop your shoulders
you musnt waver
under the boulder.
you musnt break
no, not again
you must keep it in
you must pretend.
you cant let them view
dont let them see though.
you must hide
the train wreck inside.
they blame themselves
for the pain self inflicted
you must be strong
at least as depicted.
theyve got enough
enough on their plate
no need to need to complain
no need to translate.
so put on your costume
pin up your hair
apply your make up
but your feelings elsewhere.
all you can do is tell the ultimate lie.
the best you can do i just to deny.
go lights, go music
take a deep breath
fake it thorough this.


I better be quiet now
I'm tired of wasting my breath
Carrying on, getting upset
Wish I knew what you were doing
Why you want to do it this way
So I can't go the distance
I got a long way to go
I'm getting further away
