  Concentricity


The innumerous intricate lying layers
of this enigmatic bundle in cross section
run untiring
one below the other in intimacy
yet untouching
in inventive excuses eachtime
selfdrowning its worth
to the same lamentable core

Serrate borders
are irritations to perceive
wires in barb barring outer exchanges
letting grow voraciously self-cannibalistic
in stringent destructive captivity
A slave to the centric solidfying self
inhaling acrimonious vapour it emanates
Optimistic air in traces
suck into the graving fallows
Conversive voices and smiles
are abruptly in the erasing
Deviant axis spins
churning the doom

Choices or chances
are namesake consoling hillocks
dwindling into the abyss
of unreturing

When you make
a connection
that is not
really there
it becomes
as real
as you're despair

At That Time


There was no name caught within my cries
just a knowing silence that filled the spaces
between reality and how far it had wandered
from days when I grasped its presence

though my gut tried forcing foolishness to my throat
I could endure the ache of hope no longer
and succumbed to accepting the consequence of failure

somewhere in the unwritten lies
unexposed truths and chilling injustice
was a purpose that I tried to need

there was no name caught within my cries
it was only me

Desperate

I hurt myself to feel something.
I break my heart to remind myself it's beating.
I cry so I may taste my own personal sorrows.
I sold my soul to the devil just to see if God was real.
I lost my mind just so I have a reason to be as stupid as I am.
I argue with my family just so they'll listen.
I sit with people that ignore me just so I feel I'm not alone.
I enter competitions just so I have a reason to write something down.

I want love--
I want talent--
I want attention--
I want intelligence--
I want to be famous--
I want to feel like I'm still breathing--

Am I selfish?
Or is this just desperation?
