Therapy
Do you know that feeling of missing home, but not even you know where home is?
I miss my mom the same way.
Not because she's gone or I don't know where she is.
Not because I can't call her.
No, it's deeper.
I miss the mom that never really existed.
I miss the thought that one day she would love me more than she loves herself.
I miss the hope that that illusion would bring.
It's gone.
I knew it was gone the last time I saw her.
The way she kept saying,...
I miss my mom the same way.
Not because she's gone or I don't know where she is.
Not because I can't call her.
No, it's deeper.
I miss the mom that never really existed.
I miss the thought that one day she would love me more than she loves herself.
I miss the hope that that illusion would bring.
It's gone.
I knew it was gone the last time I saw her.
The way she kept saying,...

I am blessed to live where I live.
A mother and dad, brother and dog.
Friends who never went behind my back.
I can be whoever I wanna be.
If only the world were as blessed as I.
Millions have perished because of their love.
They take whatever they can find and kill without mercy.
And he tells his people, "You can't kill something that doesn't exist," as he washes the blood from his hands.
A mother and dad, brother and dog.
Friends who never went behind my back.
I can be whoever I wanna be.
If only the world were as blessed as I.
Millions have perished because of their love.
They take whatever they can find and kill without mercy.
And he tells his people, "You can't kill something that doesn't exist," as he washes the blood from his hands.

Gotta get out
Sometimes I wish
You'd stop being a bitch
You make me think
I should drown in the sink
It would be better
Than listening to your chatter
Telling people my mistakes
While you're out on cigarette breaks
I Just want to leave
No more "just believe"
I'm fucking out
I don't care what it's about
Just leave me be
I'm breaking free
Running away
With nothing to fray
Goodbye
You'd stop being a bitch
You make me think
I should drown in the sink
It would be better
Than listening to your chatter
Telling people my mistakes
While you're out on cigarette breaks
I Just want to leave
No more "just believe"
I'm fucking out
I don't care what it's about
Just leave me be
I'm breaking free
Running away
With nothing to fray
Goodbye

Wall from Grace
Bent brown hands
Twisted with age
Soothed my brows
Erased my pain
Smiling wrinkled potato faces
Scrunched with laughter
Provided me with escapes
From the daily slaughter
A child's worth and well being
In a house that was not safe
And pressed me to their bosoms
A beckoning familiar place
Many was the time they were my only solace
From the white brutal forces
Thank you God for these brown women
Who delivered me with their graces
Twisted with age
Soothed my brows
Erased my pain
Smiling wrinkled potato faces
Scrunched with laughter
Provided me with escapes
From the daily slaughter
A child's worth and well being
In a house that was not safe
And pressed me to their bosoms
A beckoning familiar place
Many was the time they were my only solace
From the white brutal forces
Thank you God for these brown women
Who delivered me with their graces

Fear
There is an anger inside me
I want to kill it.
I want to drown it
I want to burn it.
What am I hiding
What plagues my soul.
I want love.
I am passionate...
And lost
Where am I?
So much darkness...
So much power...
Let me leave this place,
Please,
I cannot afford another failure.
I want to kill it.
I want to drown it
I want to burn it.
What am I hiding
What plagues my soul.
I want love.
I am passionate...
And lost
Where am I?
So much darkness...
So much power...
Let me leave this place,
Please,
I cannot afford another failure.

It starts out slow
They start out slow,I hate being alone.
I’ll lay in bed awake at night,
Counting reasons not to die.
I’ll be happy, and I think I’m over it.
And then it all comes back to me,
The pain, The thoughts of suicide.
I want it to be over with.
They say depression is the hardest battle,
Because it’s not on the outside, It’s within.
I don’t wanna feel this way anymore,
I want to be happy, I want more.
I don’t want to be dead, do I?
I don’t know anymore, I’m struggling.
My arms are thinner, I skip dinner.
I...
I’ll lay in bed awake at night,

I’ll be happy, and I think I’m over it.

They say depression is the hardest battle,
Because it’s not on the outside, It’s within.
I don’t wanna feel this way anymore,
I want to be happy, I want more.

Warning
Curbing you think might be your art
Send a few messages to lasso the heart
But last night was no mistake it was a test
One you failed miserably like the rest
Asked again for you to let us see you
Ignored again and when we confront, you're confused
Its ok you dont trust us to see your face
But expect a full frontal to display
And you want us to trust you, do you think were dumb?
Its a miracle we can even manage friendship, son
Lies are disrespect but worse is selfishness
Its the one thing in humans we do not forgive ...
Send a few messages to lasso the heart
But last night was no mistake it was a test
One you failed miserably like the rest
Asked again for you to let us see you
Ignored again and when we confront, you're confused
Its ok you dont trust us to see your face
But expect a full frontal to display
And you want us to trust you, do you think were dumb?
Its a miracle we can even manage friendship, son
Lies are disrespect but worse is selfishness
Its the one thing in humans we do not forgive ...

Madness In Bloom
(i)
I gather the gauze
wrapped around clouds
drawing curtains silver and blue
listening to sighs of trees
soundless, birdless
of all sorrow
chocked in tumbleweeds
(ii)
My heart
in shape of a wheel
turns with eddies
returning to all things
transparent
afloat streaming to sea.
(iii)
You tell me
tonight is the last night on earth
yet;
I see you resisting once more
gravity of fall
rancid stench of madness in the air
writing another hyperbole in the diary ...

Love: A most unprofitable commodity
Our suffering was engineered
Our pain a device
They made us hate each other
They treated us like lice
I want to get hold of the men
Who destroy our world
Shake them by the shirt
Throw them to the dirt
Make them sleep in the cold
The thought that hate is manufactured
Keeps a fire alive
Sexism is as natural as a plastic cup
Racism is as natural as a plastic bag
Built over 500 years
Brittle as the mind
The walls that divide us are invisible
Break them from the inside
Our pain a device
They made us hate each other
They treated us like lice
I want to get hold of the men
Who destroy our world
Shake them by the shirt
Throw them to the dirt
Make them sleep in the cold
The thought that hate is manufactured
Keeps a fire alive
Sexism is as natural as a plastic cup
Racism is as natural as a plastic bag
Built over 500 years
Brittle as the mind
The walls that divide us are invisible
Break them from the inside
