Crying

Welcome to manhood,

I hope you read the sign on the way in,
You aren't allowed to have feelings or display them if you do,
Those are accidental and pretty gay,


Whoa whoa whoa,
Back it up,
First off, thats kinda fucked up and second,
Last I checked we're all wired for that emotional shit,

So sit down and shut the fuck up for a second,

Just because you're a man doesn't mean any of that horseshit is true,

A real man brings his lady flowers,
Not because he fucked up,
But because she'll like that shit,

Real men fall in love,
Get nervous,
Cry about it, like a pussy,
No scratch that, like a human being,
And probably won't even mention it,
Unless there's some idea of a chance,
Make an ass out of himself,
Be embarrassed and try and play it off like he just fell down,
Emotionally,

Isn't that what those awkward conversations are anyways?

Real men don't fuck around with that
"Not allowed to have feelings"
Old world shit,
You've got them,
Listen to them,
Work with that shit like it's your best friend,

They're around for a reason you dumbass,

So next time your heart swells,
Let her know it,
And that she did that to you,
Shout it from the top of your.....Mom's house,
Wake the neighbors up,
And then when she says,
"I like you more as a friend,"
Cry into your pillow,

You know the one,
With the Muppet or Superman, or Batman sheets,
Cry like you're not afraid to like purple or pink,
Because those colors are fucking rad,
Cry like you did at the end of that perfect action movie,
Because all this heartbreak your locking out,
Is supposed to help you grow,

So next time,
Cry like a man.

Lonely Hearts

My friend asked me, If you had three hearts like an octopus What would you do? I only have one heart, And most days, It feels like it has left me, To go and have a good time without me, I write postcards to the anti-life, In hopes that she will hear me, Let me know she is okay, And that I am not as alone as I feel, If I had another heart, She would be here, That phone ringing inside my chest, Would have an answer on the other side, If I had a third heart, I would be a mutant, And mutants are the future, Erin, I would be the future, If I had three hearts like an Octopus, But I don't, I don't even have the 2 I'm supposed to, It's cold and sad without her, It's less cold and sad with someone, Anyone, To hold at night, Which is why it's always harder, When I decide to go back out into the cold, Alone, Like I've always been, There are two times I am cold when I step outside, Immediately after leaving the warmth of inside, And

Where my Brain Goes at the End of the Day

Where my Brain Goes at the End of the Day At first there was space and time, And then there was Einstein, Now, he theorized Spacetime, You’re not even ready for this, It’s scientific bliss, And religions, they’re gonna be pissed, Spacetime works a little bit like a loaf of bread, Picture one in your head, Now cut a slice, Any way you want it, Forget it, I can’t explain this like this, So instead my crazy mixed up romantic brain gives it a twist, Pretend there’s me, riding on my bike at a really fast speed, And then there’s you, future lover, In your car, or spaceship, or riding your dinosaur, We’re going very fast in our respective transports, In opposite directions, Therefore your watch is going a bit slower than mine, Mine is faster than yours, What does this really amount to in layman’s terms? Simple, we haven’t met, yet Or already did, Or Schrodinger’s cat is shifting between our houses, But the point here is, some day, You and I will be going the sam

Fuck You Lucy

Untitled 4/06/09 She was the kind of girl that took life at face value, taking high school, college and the future as everyone told her to, She was the kind of girl who grew up knowing she would get three houses when her family was gone, As if somehow those three homes could replace the smiles, love and laughter of the people that once lived in them, She was the kind of girl who taught me something I now value very much, I have never been one of those people, and thankfully never will be, I grew up in a household where the only things inherited are the ability to love and cherish each other, Keep going no matter what happens to you, and above all else do what you love no matter what the cost, These are the answers to everything I know, I am not one of those people who takes all of that shit at face value, I was raised to think for myself and to constantly ask my favorite three letter word, Why? Why should I go to college? Why should I finish high school with straight
