Plunge, Drop, and Nod
He feels the sharp.
Call out to someone - yeah he should.
Pain was filling all senses.
Now he thinks he's good.
Sit with me awhile if you could.
Numb it burns.
Something like a memory.
Close your eyes.
You try not to see.
Wreckage of what he is.
Illusion of what used to be.
Spittle stained toothless smile.
Nodding at a tiny thought.
Takeaway boxes litter a musky loft.
Burns mottle chairs, ashes overflow cans.
Is this what you dreamed of when you thought of being a man?
Who are you anymore?
A...

questionable truths
We hang ourselves out to dry
pretend the world can't see us
and the way this crumbles
on close inspection
There's a knock at the door
always waiting
with a promise of a better tomorrow
if this were a libertarian state
where everyone was equal
and this hand up
didn't come with chains attached
to some moral code
we've exorcised
like the demon it is
I close my eyes and don't think about it
I smile at every knock at the door
though I would prefer a deadbolt
and a day of movies and popcorn
but...
pretend the world can't see us

Notgoingtoworkapram
the virtual psychiatrist
greets me from her well-appointed living room
i don't like her on sight
but i keep an open mind
five minutes into the appointment
she asks about my sleep
five hours a night
sometimes three
when Fitbit shows me a six
it's cause for celebration
that's your problem
she states bluntly
nothing is going to get better
until you sleep seven hours a night
seven!
that happens about twice a year
i know she's right
honed right in on it
i like her better
i can't...

Fire Sale
Temptations allure
Exploiting a nameless her
All sins bleed running like paint together
Vague references to distinguished moments
Spare the details when life is a blur
Something inside of me begins to stir
Broken hearts is an event to reoccur
Fall prey to the social slander
Prejudice cast like stones in slur
The soul sells because sex buys
Resistance is futile when hope dies
After you’ve done all you can but you’ve hardly tried
Raise the banner of the shameful and call it pride
Own the affliction
A way of life...
Exploiting a nameless her
All sins bleed running like paint together
Vague references to distinguished moments
Spare the details when life is a blur
Something inside of me begins to stir
Broken hearts is an event to reoccur
Fall prey to the social slander
Prejudice cast like stones in slur
The soul sells because sex buys
Resistance is futile when hope dies
After you’ve done all you can but you’ve hardly tried
Raise the banner of the shameful and call it pride
Own the affliction
A way of life...

Plastic Heart Surgery
Here I stand face to face
Am I the hero or the culprit in the mirror
Killing by way of a knife in the back
Just as soon the betrayal of self as anyone else
I wield the weapon with the blood on my hands
But am I misguided to think myself the enemy?
When I know I’ve yielded to the wrong thing too many times
But it’s just the flesh of my own hypocrisy
Digging deeper what do we find
When I’m in a heightened and broken state of mind
There’s something deeper that dwells inside
Accomplice to my demons the mystery unresolved
What...
Am I the hero or the culprit in the mirror
Killing by way of a knife in the back

Drug Addiction Moved-In
There is darkness
I cannot see
I thought I would be ok
But I am not
Incredible sadness
I hate myself
I hate who I am
I hate who I am not
I hate myself
Just vacate the premises
Just want to be done
Tired of crying
Can barely get out of bed
Gaining weight
Depression in my DNA
Can barely take care of myself
Don't know what to do
Where to turn
I'm stuck
Not in control anymore
Drug addiction has moved
Into my home and has all but
Moved me out
I want my home back
I want my life...
I cannot see
I thought I would be ok
But I am not
Incredible sadness
I hate myself
I hate who I am
I hate who I am not
I hate myself
Just vacate the premises
Just want to be done
Tired of crying
Can barely get out of bed
Gaining weight
Depression in my DNA
Can barely take care of myself
Don't know what to do
Where to turn
I'm stuck
Not in control anymore
Drug addiction has moved
Into my home and has all but
Moved me out
I want my home back
I want my life...

Dead to Me
Count me as dead to you
You have broken me
Not sure i will be able
To overcome this one.
I birthed you
I loved you
Now I hate you.
I'm just sick about this
Can't stop crying
You have broke me
Bridges are burning
You are on the other side
You will not be able
To get back home again.
You sicken me
Do not call me
Do not think of me
As your mother any more
I do not want to be
A mother to you
You will not ever be
Anything worth keeping
You are a useless
Human being
That fine...
You have broken me
Not sure i will be able
To overcome this one.
I birthed you
I loved you
Now I hate you.
I'm just sick about this
Can't stop crying
You have broke me
Bridges are burning
You are on the other side
You will not be able
To get back home again.
You sicken me
Do not call me
Do not think of me
As your mother any more
I do not want to be
A mother to you
You will not ever be
Anything worth keeping
You are a useless
Human being
That fine...

In this drunken state
In this drunken state I'm in
Smoking summoning the beast with in
A demon that lies asleep within
A sin
Like seeds that sprouts deep with in
Seeds of discord
That's like a sword that penetrates my heart
Unleashing all the demons Locked away within
I'm in this drunken state for the sake of pain and love
I trusted her
Now I find myself forsaking love
All because of her
Showing her all the love and affection
And she's not even in my section
If I could I...
Smoking summoning the beast with in
A demon that lies asleep within
A sin
Like seeds that sprouts deep with in
Seeds of discord
That's like a sword that penetrates my heart
Unleashing all the demons Locked away within
I'm in this drunken state for the sake of pain and love
I trusted her
Now I find myself forsaking love
All because of her
Showing her all the love and affection
And she's not even in my section
If I could I...
