Wisdom Teeth

I'm no longer wise...Shut up... all of you, that wasn;t a set up for any cracks about my smartness (or lack thereof lol) ANyways, this morning at 8 i got put under and i dunno what they did but i'm missing 3 teeth now (i only had 3 wisdom teeth the 4th seems to be missing, here's where you can insert you jokes and be a little clever.) But yeah now i'm on the anti infection meds and pain meds but really i just stop taking the pain meds cause i don;t hurt, i'll take one before bed and all that but really denist work never really bugs my mouth, usually when i go to get caps and stuff put on the first time they stuck me with a needle and froze my lip, i didn't like that so the next time i told him and he said he'd try it without and it was fine, he was klinda surprised that it went fine but it still went fine. It was a whille until i had something like that done again but when i did i had forgotten he didn;;t stick me with any needles, and i was like whoa man what you doing stick me with something first, but he said you don;t usually need any pain meds for this sort of thing and i was like ok i'll trust you and from then on i just don;t get stuick with needles. So yeah that's my rant about the dentist while i'm here bored at home not doing anything cept this, and prepare your self cause who know how long this will go on for...

Thoughts From a Rooftop

Wild Nights till the Dawn
Riding through the hallowed streets
I stopped for Death
For he would not stop for me
The Dark cloak would pass me by
No matter how many times i tried
Glasses smashed, Doors slammed
Lives Shattered, Love broken
All dark things that only death
Would understand

So what did you think? Let me know

And I'm feeling generous today so i'll let myself be adventurous and post another...

The deep blue walls rising all around me
Sharp branches laughing at me
My lungs cherish their final taste of air.
The moonlight vanishes
I say goodbye to my days with you
And Accept my fate
But in these final moments I'm saved
I'm always saved
When I'm drowning in your dreams.

-Pete-

Again what do you think?
You know what? I haven't had much to do today and i'm bored and all so why not one more big one. (not so recent)

Nothingness

I sit here writing in a dark empty room lit by one lone candle.
The candle's life burns away as does mine.
When I pull back the curtains and look out into the real world the, huge, cruel, real world.
I get scared, and confused I don't know what to do. Or where to go.
There are two roads I could take, two paths that will form my future.
I have been down one before and believe you me I am never going down that path again.
Down the other, lurks the monsters of unknown mystery.
And my mind is screaming CHOOSE! CHOOSE!
Quickly I cast the curtains shut as gloom descends upon my soul.
I fear my very being depends on this decision.
As the candle burns, and leaden darkness permeates the shadow of my, my nothingness.
My nothingness. My life is nothing. It has no meaning, no...purpose.
I. I have no purpose.
I have two paths to take, two options that will frame my future.
Once again my mind screams CHOOSE! CHOOSE NOW!
And once again I can't take it. I just can't do it!
My life?
My life is nothing, trash is what it is!
Nothing but trash!
I am not going anywhere in life, I am broke, I am getting evicted, I'll have to live on the streets! The cold dark unforgiving streets.
What got me here? I don't know that’s the problem.
Nothing was wrong then.
We would stay up all night, we would laugh and get high.
Then it went wrong. My life went horribly wrong. The worst thing is I don't know what went wrong, cause they said it was right!
And, it felt so good, then too soon, it felt so bad, I needed it, I had to have it and would do anything... anything to get it.
Now what am I? What happened to me?
Now I am sitting here writing in a dark, empty room lit by one lone candle, I am sitting here as gloom descends upon my soul, and as the candle burns, leaden darkness permeates the shadow of my nothingness.
My poor, miserable life filled with, nothingness.
