Solitude
The solitude that used to terrify me
Has now become my comfort
I had no choice
Fighting only amplified its power and oppression
So instead I chose to reconcile
And we finally made peace with one another
Has now become my comfort
I had no choice
Fighting only amplified its power and oppression
So instead I chose to reconcile
And we finally made peace with one another

Anymore, Any More.
I can't love you anymore.
I can't keep repeating how I want to feel seen.
I can't listen to your baseless jealously.
I can't watch as you distance yourself again.
I can't watch you isolate yourself in fear.
I can't hear you cry because you want to feel.
I can't understand why you lock your feelings up.
I can't see you fall apart inside again.
I can't comfort you if you're scared to hurt me.
I can't make your anxieties disappear.
I can't offer you a solution, I wish I could.
I can't understand you. I'm sorry.
I can't love you any more.

It would be Easier
To never feel like I am a crazy selfish person.
To feel like I was the only insecure person that ever existed.
Making the “decision” would be easier, if I have never met so many people.
Carrying the weight of what would they think if I went through with it.
If only they knew it wasn’t their fault or there was nothing more they could do.
They just met a broken soul that could no longer be fixed.
They did give a sense of joy and happiness, but it was never meant to last forever.
With every interaction, I’m left with...

King for a day, fool for a lifetime
Pat yourself on the back
give yourself a handshake
your ability to bore me is impressive
do you practice in front of your mirror?
you must have thick skin
the layers must have accumulated a horrific odor of skunk
what happens when there's no one left to put to sleep?
your obnoxious tendencies irritate me and all the others
you succeeded in being, "That guy" no one likes
Here's a suggestion...
stop trying to one up or outdo whatever I or others have to say
it's not an attractive trait
if you can't be respectable to...

wonderful urge
one step,
two steps,
each
i thought
would
get me
closer,
my stomach
filled with
butterflies,
i wrote
her poems,
she
read them,
i cannot
conceal
any of
these
occurrences,
but her
rejection is
disappointing,
i thought
we were
friends.

Winter (Acrostic)
When my heart
in all its reverent and
nefarious offerings,
tossed a coin to the boatman,
eternity so began its
rapture upon my mind.

Faking It
After the like,
you peruse the profile
and you know
it is fake
happens
every now and again
Usually two photos,
one slightly provocative
amplifying
bust or bottom
But for a brief moment,
despite the truth
they really aren't who they present to be
You feel seen in that moment,
maybe more
than you have been in years
by a random, not a friend.

The hare and the wolf
The shame engulfed me
As I walked down the hall
They're eyes following me
Watching my every move
Can't afford to make a wrong turn
Can't show you're weak
Can't show you're scared
Cause if the truth got out
They will attack you
Like you're their prey
So I hide myself away
Tightly locked inside a cage
And though my head is held up high
My eyes could never lie
A window to my soul, they are
As I walked down the hall
They're eyes following me
Watching my every move
Can't afford to make a wrong turn
Can't show you're weak
Can't show you're scared
Cause if the truth got out
They will attack you
Like you're their prey
So I hide myself away
Tightly locked inside a cage
And though my head is held up high
My eyes could never lie
A window to my soul, they are

Pendulum
I can feel the weight of gravity,
it's pressure on my skin,
Living lifetimes in
the past and future
between the pendulums swing.
The self affacing tragedies
The comedies of youth,
The drama's in the romance
The romance in the truth.
Powerless to retain her love
it slips into the night,
Fracturing me like victorian glass,
Oblivions dark delight.

NOT IN YOUR DNA .
I’m never going to play games with your heart. I know how battered it’s been, you cry in the dark at times. It’s been kicked like a football just for fun they were never aiming for the goal but did it anyway. Hurt people hurt others.
I don’t wanna make you feel less than you are. I know words hurt just as much as a fist and that’s hard to digest it gets stuck in your throat and gives you heartburn.
I wanna ease your mimd when we talk and I’ll be honest, I don’t want you to remain in a cage of insecurity and pain. I want to set you free with loving kindness so...

Sanatorium
Florescent tube lights lead the way down such lonely halls
Listen, along hushed anxious mumbles, echoing these walls
Their greenish dronings merely soften a shadow's firm grip
Trails in asbestos tile, slates etched by trauma's deep chips
Time whispers me in aside, upon decades, feelings of truth
A dark nostalgia or subtle ageless grief, it can not soothe
Morbid satisfaction, like night cigarettes, bids me to stay
These haunted halls, lonesome, mournfully push me away
Listen, along hushed anxious mumbles, echoing these walls
Their greenish dronings merely soften a shadow's firm grip
Trails in asbestos tile, slates etched by trauma's deep chips
Time whispers me in aside, upon decades, feelings of truth
A dark nostalgia or subtle ageless grief, it can not soothe
Morbid satisfaction, like night cigarettes, bids me to stay
These haunted halls, lonesome, mournfully push me away

I'm left with this saddened broken heart
And crushed as well as destroyed
Never should have loved from the start
Feeling frustrated and so annoyed
Figuring out different ways to recover
I began this adventure I'm now taking
New outlets of temptations I discovered
Adding up the mistakes I'm making
It started with constant alcohol
To erase the thoughts I would think
Even after I would stumble and fall
I would continue to drink and drink
The beer turned to hard liquor
Hoping this would do the trick
Even though it messed me...
