Twelve Days in a Nerd's Christmas
On the first day of Christmas my lover gave to me, an xbox right under the tree.
On the second day of Christmas my lover gave to me, two charged controllers and an xbox right under the tree.
On the third day of Christmas my lover gave to me, three games to choose from, two charged controllers, and an xbox right under the tree.
On the fourth day of Christmas my lover gave to me, four swords a clanging, three games to choose from, two charged controllers, and an xbox right under the tree.
On the fifth day of Christmas my lover gave to me, FIVE GOLDEN GUNS, four swords a clanging, three games to choose from, two charged controllers, and
This was long decided
Before I was involved
But you point the finger
Blaming me for the dissolve
You pushed him away hard
While not realizing it to be
Anger filled your every thought
Hiding what you should see
It is hard to heal, I know
But you will see in time
He will still care for you
For friendship he will climb
If I get too close to you
I'm sure you'll take a swing
But I do so wish I could help
Tend to your tattered wing
I'll help you, by helping him
It'll be okay, I know it
You'll feel better after awhile
And you won't try to hit
Break ups are hard for everyone
But we deal with it in different ways
Take a breath an
Sweetest guy you'll ever meet
But I went and trampled it under my feet
Distance sucks and so does time
Screwing over feelings should be a crime
Why did I choose to deny
The only love that didn't have me cry?
Curl into a ball and let it rain
Maybe tears will hide my pain
We'll be friends like we were before
Never will we close that door
Maybe chances will realign
Maybe fate will leave a sign
Until then I'll drown in life
But which end do I hold the knife?
Focus on all things going on round
In my ball I'm safe and sound
I'll be okay just give me a sec
My heart just has to make the trek
I won't be down for too very long
Just g
I can't let go
But I shouldn't hold on
Seems that time has shriveled
Soon it'll be gone
I can't think forever
I need to decide
I wish I could stop
Wish I could stem the tide
I don't let go
So self-centered am I
If I did let go
You'd just ask why
I don't have an answer
I never possessed it
But holding on?
I'm so full of shit
I feel unimportant
Despite your charms
I should be there
Should be in your arms
But I can't do it
I can't be there
The distance immense
Leaves me grasping air
Even if you could
You don't hold me so
That's why I'm debating
Should I stay or go?
I'm not a priority
I've never been one
You don't un
Spin, spin, spin
The world goes round
I feel it move
Deep underground
It spins too fast
I can't keep pace
Running backwards
To win the race
Fingers clasped
Between your own
My true nature
Has been shown
No longer blinded
She does see
The truly vile
Side of me
But that sides not mine
It comes from you
Hold my breath
Till I turn blue
Can't bite my tongue
No not much longer
Clasp me tighter
For you are stronger
Hiding my tears
You see them all
You do not let me
Slip or fall
Through the sadness
Through the pain
We shall try
To remain the same
It may be stupid
But we do stay
Through brightest night
And darkest da
The voices in my head
Will sometimes play dead
When I feel safe and sound
They come back around
Screaming while awake
Telling me to fake
And whispering in my sleep
Burrowing too deep
Truth and lies mix inside
With whom can I try to confide?
You turn to me with your ear
But you don't actually even hear
You're always talking to me
But you truly cannot see
The voices are so very loud
My simple mind they do cloud
Some are inclined to tell me yes
At least that is the best guess
Some are inclined tell me no
Which way should I choose to go?
Blood rushing and screaming terror
Sadness with every single error
Happy with unchosen p
Sitting here
Amidst all these people
I call them friends
But the bond is feeble
With one wrong word
You become a threat
Losing it all
By placing a bet
Some will hurt you
And bruises appear
Some will hurt you
And insults you'll hear
Disagree once
And be outcast
Hold your ground
Friendliness is past
But despite all this
Love still thrives
Affecting emotions
And toying with lives
We're always together
As a family should
Will we stay together?
Do you believe we could?
Some of us will stay
Can't stop that
But others will be
Walked over as a mat
Where do I stand?
Who stands beside me?
Should I just let you go?
Should
The buzzing in my head
Just seems too loud
Like an entire shouting army
And I'm lost in the crowd
When will I be capable
Of tuning out the voices?
They talk and don't refrain
Giving me too many choices
I sleep and yet I'm sleepless
I talk and yet I'm speechless
What's with these contradictions?
Like being happy and full of bleakness
I cannot decide what to do
You don't make things so clear
My heart is still so fragile
Cause I always hold you dear
Maybe I'll think of a solution
Get my mind set straight
I better think of something
For soon it'll be too late
I stayed up late
For the midnight releasing
The 360's content humming
Is very much pleasing
Modern Warfare 3
Just came out ya know
With my AK-47
Down my enemies go
Crysis 2
And Gears of War 3
All of these games
Bring happiness to me
Black Ops and Fallout
Keep me happy for hours
Marvel vs Capcom
Gotta get me new powers
Whatever the game
Or whatever the system
There's far too many
For me to list 'em
This is my niche
My chunk of nerd
To others it may
Seem quite absurd
But I'll forever play
No matter what they say
Waiting for the day
Everyone is this way
;)

Clickety, clickety
Type, type, type
Sounds of the computer
As I write out my life
Katy and Kesha
Sing out the tunes
Pitbull and Eminem
Rap out their blues
Bouncing in my seat
Wishing to dance
To sing and twirl
But people would glance
Passing work hours
In ways I shouldn't
Money requires effort
And I really wish it wouldn't
Thoughts in my head
For past, present, and future
Stories and memories
My favorite feature
Off I go
So I can share this break
Look out world!
For the decisions I make
Oof. Forgot DeviantArt existed. So of course I had to yeet myself down the rabbit hole of teenage angst that is my page/journal. Oofta. No thanks. So here's a brief update, past self. You're now married, own a house, and are about to turn 29. 5 of your friends are hitting 30 this year and two are getting married (and one got married last year). You've driven the country a few times and yet still haven't touched California or the entire north eastern peninsula. And you're about to go to your 10th (11th, actually cause of some fuck ups) high school reunion. It's weird. And bringing up a lot of things. Also, past self, btw, you were depressed af. I'm sorry there was no help for you. There isn't help now, either, but we're getting there. Having an amazing husband and phenomenal support group does wonders. You've reached a weird place of self enlightenment where you understand all your issues and where they come from but still have to manage them on your own. Baby steps. A lot has
3 years after my last journal, here I am again. I did not delete my DA but I certainly haven't interacted with it much. At all. Let's be honest.
I am now 23 and... I guess my life is more figured out than I would've ever imagined it would be. Don't get me wrong, my life is still a mess, but it's a manageable mess.
I'm currently writing this from a full time job where I will soon be hired on officially (I'm a temp). I have my own apartment, two beautiful furbabies, and a new man in my life who doesn't make me feel like shit. I'm mere minutes away from my friends and my dad and I have a very busy life. In the span of 3 years I quit college, h
And I'm back. Not for anything important. It's 2:10am and I'm just finding reasons to stay awake. When I'm upset I don't like to sleep, it feels like I'm cheating. I should be upset. I shouldn't just fast-track to dawn and everything be okay when I wake up. So here I am. Two years later. Still sucking at life and wasting my time writing it down here.
Turned 20. You know what changed? Absolutely nothing. Except now I can't pull off the "I'm still a kid" bs that I used to. Now I'm just a pathetic 20 year old failing at college, living with my dad, and holding down a minimum wage, part-time job. Yeah I've come so far in two years.
I hate who I
