~The path-valley called life~
This swamp I have fallen into
rot!
The waves of an angry ocean
between starring at the morning sunrise glown'
And the dreaded gray tornado spinnin'.
Never can escape the ideal I am sinning
therefor I could never be benefiting.
But perhaps I take a dim view
of a life lesson galore
but I was quick to call her a whore
hence I repent and shake her hand
for my judgmental ways
are rebuking.
I fell into this trouble
one foot in front of the other
grinning my way into its clutches
but it is mistakes that rip open the soul
and awaken the naïve eye
that keeps us from walking
down this path-valley of life blind.

It's Just the Wind
The gales rush over my landscape
sounds like the earth assaulting the sky
the different pitches of give
caught out
snatched into the noise
I know because I've never been sure
and my conviction is fed on my weakening will
whipping around every object like a test
shaking the previously stable
into matters of endurance
and chance
brushing memoirs on lost footing
to the forefront of my mind
calling forward the fallen chapters
from the pages of my time
it's just the wind
though it howls
and darkness
rides in its arms
same as the clouds seem harmless
when you've never swam through falling stars
just like the time I reached the apex
when I couldn't fall any further down
as then
it's just the wind

Nemo.
Nemo is my name for really I am no one.
Not a thought, not an incling, completely No one.
I'm a shell of a girl that I used to be,
So full of life so uplifted so free.
Slowly piece by piece parts of me have died,
Have done it to myself with each tear I've cried.
This peice right here for a broken family,
Couldnt even fake the pictures on the walls of memory.
Another tear another scar another piece to peel away,
Watching people come and go while I begged them to stay.
Dont leave I would cry as they laughed at my pain,
I made up story after story to make them like me again.
I know not who I am for I have changed many times,
I've been a whore I've been a slut I've committed horrid crimes.
I wasn't really any of those things they were just the mask I wore,
After a while they'd want something else and I'd be back where I was before.
Goodbye heart goodbye soul,
Goodbye to ever feeling like I'm whole.
Just a broken burnt out carcass barely the heart thumps inside,
Almost everything shut down just like the mind.
So you see there's nothing left not to cherish not to moarn,
Just a scared little thing broken and torn.
No more emotions left just scars and the so,
Just a girl with No face and the name Nemo.

If Only I Spoke Up
If I spoke, I'd regret it
But if I didn't, I'd regret it much more
Not speaking up, is something no one should ignore
Their words pile up
Onto your heart
And if you don't speak up,
It will tear you apart
Their words of hatred, will linger in your mind
As if someone is repeating the words, from behind
When you go home,
Yet again you don't say a word
Because you keep thinking about what you heard
Is it true, do I not belong?
I'm so stupid, and I'm not so strong
You ask yourself questions that make you feel worse
You feel different about yourself as you feel more remorse
Speak up, and let your voice be heard
Spill your emotions through your word
Let them listen, but more importantly,
Let them hear
For its when you speak up,
The world will become more sincere
If I spoke, I'd regret it
But if I didn't, I'd regret it much more
Not speaking up, is something no one should ignore
Their words pile up
Onto your heart
And if you don't speak up,
It will tear you apart
Their words of hatred, will linger in your mind
As if someone is repeating the words, from behind
When you go home,
Yet again you don't say a word
Because you keep thinking about what you heard
Is it true, do I not belong?
I'm so stupid, and I'm not so strong
You ask yourself questions that make you feel worse
You feel different about yourself as you feel more remorse
Speak up, and let your voice be heard
Spill your emotions through your word
Let them listen, but more importantly,
Let them hear
For its when you speak up,
The world will become more sincere
Name Calling
Every word they've said is a
bullet to my heart
Get a life, go die, i hate you
these words have torn me apart
Terrorist, creep, annoying,
these words have stayed in me until now
I cant give up for
i am not what they say i am,
I thought somehow
They ran away from me,
for they didn't want to catch my "disease"
If they came to close,
All the bad things i had, they would seize
Locked me out of the classroom,
Chanted out my name
"We hate you John" they screamed,
Well too bad i don't feel the same
Every word they've said is a
bullet to my heart
Get a life, go die, i hate you
these words have torn me apart
Terrorist, creep, annoying,
these words have stayed in me until now
I cant give up for
i am not what they say i am,
I thought somehow
They ran away from me,
for they didn't want to catch my "disease"
If they came to close,
All the bad things i had, they would seize
Locked me out of the classroom,

"We hate you John" they screamed,
Well too bad i don't feel the same
Goddess of Ravens
================
You were young
Once and so was i
Unknowing of the truth
Radiant in our happiness
Living in the moment those three years of our distance
Insistent on a future I didn't know you didn't share
Eagerly anticipating the change
Saving me from being an evil man
Making me love you more each day
After discovering your lies
Damned for what i knew
Enticed by your body and mind
Marrying you was always my goal
Else why put my freedom in your hands
And here we are years later
call me, save me
help me set my self free
in the darkness of my mind
long tortured for the love we shared
during the time that you were more mature than i
maybe you can
only see your side
likely just you getting your way
easily finding your prey in me
serving you with all i did
terrible in my hopes and dreams
ending when you chose one not a coward
resolute in abandoning me

This Mans Wisdom
never be afraid of the truth
never hide your feelings
never deny who you are and where you came from
If you love someone, tell them, regardless
Learn to be different from the norm
stand out and stand up
believe in yourself and don’t take shit
hate is good when the reasons are good
Learn not to forgive, some people don’t deserve it
hope for much, settle for little
show respect when it’s earned
sing
dance
laugh
cry
get drunk but not too often
smoke weed it makes you a nicer person
have imaginary friends but don’t worship them
greet adversary and fight it as a sworn enemy
be brave
be kind
be caring
be compassionate
be you
don’t let the bastards grind you down
don’t let the doubters kill your will
don’t let anyone tell you, you are nothing
it's OK to be fat
It's ok to be gay
it's ok to be scared
it's ok to be alone
it's ok to be sad
it's never OK to hate without good reason
its never OK to totally surrender to anyone or anything
Its never OK to abuse
its never OK to be any kind of predator
This advice I give to you freely as a 54 year old man
who has seen and experienced much
joy, sadness, pain, horror, death
hopelessness, helplessness, abuse
laughter, tears, heartbreak
If I could have life all over again
I would live by the learned wisdom above
and live every day as if it was my last
never be afraid of the truth
never hide your feelings
never deny who you are and where you came from

No One was Listening
it was the end
but no one listened
scrabbling in the dungeon
build in the name of a vow
the flashes of lightnings
in the words from lips
once kissed tender
curses out of once loving words
poems of destruction heard
in his indifference
and then there was silence
he took the hands of another
fifteen years ago today
extreme unction administered
in a death of oaths
given at the altar of God
nothing left but useless debris
nothing remained within hearts
just regrets for youth spent
in trying to understand.

Every one is in color,
the scenes are all in color,
yet I'm photographed in
black and white.
My self worth equaling zero,
it was a dark time.
No trust for any one,
and no love to be given.
No rays from the sun,
the world to me, was unforgiving.
Blisters of the nights,
I spent roaming the streets.
I stayed out till twilight,
where ever I was led by my feet.
I didn't wanna go home,
I didn't want to be greeted by silence.
The Astra 600 pistol was in the cup board.
The perfect solution to solve all
my problems.
An inner fleshy wound,
was festering flies inside of me.
A state of impending doom,
Offing myself, would've been too easy.
I didn't wanna be alone
I wasn't secure on my own.
I induced drugs into my bones.
Heading to path of no return.
A pit without bottom,
Haunted by succubus-like fathoms,
In recurrent nightmares, I'd drown.
The pistol was down in my mouth,
ready to blow the bullet out.
Taking one last look of the spot,
one single tear ran down.
Somewhere in the fog,
brightened a bulb.
A serious thought,
that tightened my throat.
I wasn't afraid to die.
I was not afraid of death.
I appreciated life,
but I wasn't given a fair play.
If I was afraid of dying,
I'd live in fear.
I'm not afraid of passing,
which makes that simple fact
easier to bare.
Do I dare take the risk?
Do I take the chance?
Do I want to take a hit,
and beat their asses to show
them they were wrong.
I outwitted each and every one ever time.
Three to one.
Not needing a life line,
or some one to believe and depend on.
I made it alone,
I decided to follow my own Truth or Dare Game.
I might have broken one or two bones,
but the greatness I claimed,
was a feeling that I'll never be able to explain.
I became smarter, wiser and stronger.
I know what's like to hit the surface.
Shattering your spinal cord,
and watch as you, yourself be
targeting by a dreadful burden.
There's always a path to happiness.
however long it may take to be in your grasp.
Erasing the past endless loneliness,
with a proud smirk to the past.

~~~Lyrical Demon~~~
ohhh how
daddy loved jesus
especially
when he'd feed us
dick
ti'l we'd
get sick
ohhh how thick
was his lust...
obsession
and seagram seven
turned
agression
into heaven
so
father
let us prey
as i lay me
down to sleep
take his life
before he creeps
back
into my bed
slurring secrets
as i'm spread
sweating semen
between my legs
dear lord
i've been explored
council crack
the cutting boards
my rubber jacket reads..
the mental ward..

De-Stringed
I am the lightning
that's not seen
I strike the nerves
you cannot feel
I am the curve
on a world flat screen
I re-inburse what's
never been
my value , worth's
in a purse de-stringed
I quench your thirst
but only post drink
I am the first
thought you can't think
am I the only float sinks .
If you see me
don't despair
I am not real
I am not there
a memory
an after glare
no solidity
so don't be scared .
I am a ghost
a former self
trying to post
these words from hell
I live in hope
like a joke
you can't sell.
I feel alone
does it show
can you tell .
If you see me
don't despair
