Misery's Guests
just a state...
so many reasons
for hatred to grow
in a fertilised heart
young and fresh
so many years
hatred did grow
consuming the
thoughts of light
so many times
he tried his best
to escape the
reality he's in
so many people
other than his
parents interfered
and made him stay
so many nights
he cried to sleep
dreamt of dreams
dreaming of dreams
so much pain
accelerated into
an ignorance for
his life and the rest
so many years
he wasted on drugs
to find an escape
to a happy ending
so far the story
was sad and empty
till he found the
light in him
to realise and reason with;
the decisions of his parents
the abuse of others
the abandment he felt
the frustration to life
the darkness he laid
all came to sense
with a simple
realisation
of,
who you realy are
where you really from
what you really can
and,
where you want be...
never look back
to ask why...
so many words
comes to me now
but I just say this
my misery was just a state...

Miserable intentions
Woke up in fright bad dream again last night
Walk around all day felling miserable to the core
This is truly insane what's going on inside my brain
Memories keep rattling around in my head
I've got to really shake this awful dread
I try and smile nothing seems to work
Till our favourite song come on the radio
It lifted me right there and then
Nothing else seemed to make a difference though
It was our wedding song I was no longer miserable.
Woke up in fright bad dream again last night

Till our favourite song come on the radio
It lifted me right there and then
Nothing else seemed to make a difference though
It was our wedding song I was no longer miserable.
Dead Ends
Playing with the dead ends
Staring at the butts in the ashtray
My finger twirls the ash around
Black from the burnt filth
My mind slipping away
Thinking about death again
How easy it would be
To just stop the misery
Time tears at me as the seconds pass by
Each one counted as my evil mind envisions
The many ways to kill myself
Back again looking at the cigi ends
In control again
My finger I stare at
Jet black, inked from ash
My mind lulls in hell
I want to die
I realise
For hours this goes on
Round and round
I find my self
Looking at the ashtray
My finger going round
Desperate now
For some way out
Why can't I stop
This evil now
Nothing makes me want to stay
There is no dream I care to take part in today.
But
My release was comedy, laughing at someone else's suffering.
My release was understanding, I would never be found.
My release will come, as it comes to us all alone.
Why don't I dream for myself?
Pick up the wings on the shelf.
escape this hell

Having It My Way
I'd dreamed of rosy ways
A life void of pain and stress
Where things would go my peaceful way
Get what I want and nothing less
But my dreams was swallowed wholly
By the harsh realities I met
Along the line of my child-like folly
And then the stage was set
For self-reproach and disbelief
The goals I chased ecstatically
Where now the reasons for my grief
Nothing but misery was left for me
My plan and timing has been altered
My goal has eluded me
The courage in me has been murdered
My thoughts re-echoed mockingly
I've failed and I couldn't
Get myself to pretend otherwise
I could try again but I wouldn't
Instead I dwelt on self-made lies
By the day I sought for whom to blame
At night I recounted my woes
My hopelessness became impossible to tame
I gave up on all my goals
But then a thought crossed my mind
I pondered on it intently
I didn't really fail,its only a sign
That I need to do it differently
From that moment on the misery was gone
A new hope burned within
Once again I was determined and strong
I could tell I was destined to win
I'd dreamed of rosy ways
A life void of pain and stress
Where things would go my peaceful way
Get what I want and nothing less
But my dreams was swallowed wholly
By the harsh realities I met
Along the line of my child-like folly
And then the stage was set
For self-reproach and disbelief
The goals I chased ecstatically
Where now the reasons for my grief
Nothing but misery was left for me
My plan and timing has been altered
My goal has eluded me
The courage in me has been murdered
My thoughts re-echoed mockingly
I've failed and I couldn't
Get myself to pretend otherwise
I could try again but I wouldn't
Instead I dwelt on self-made lies
By the day I sought for whom to blame
At night I recounted my woes
My hopelessness became impossible to tame
I gave up on all my goals
But then a thought crossed my mind
I pondered on it intently
I didn't really fail,its only a sign
That I need to do it differently
From that moment on the misery was gone
A new hope burned within
Once again I was determined and strong
I could tell I was destined to win
HEAD STONE
standing at your head stone
baby did it hurt
i'm still crying over you
flowers in the dirt
baby did it hurt
i'm still crying over you
flowers in the dirt

BALABOSTA
im breaking apart over you
dark girl flaming
blond bomb shell
toe head
red dread
black coal heart
cherry lips
with lime green nails
fire breather breasts
toy
that plays with me
im your top
spinning dizzy lolly pop cock
im on the floor
at your feet
you kicker
your a balabosta
that would feel so good
if it didn't hurt so bad
your foot
my crotch
high heels
and hop scotch
right in the la bonza
better smoke some weed and recede
turn up the fuckin music
to forget that
YOU
SAID
NO

A Fool's Reflection
I've become a slave to the thought of needing him. I layed down and rested in a dwindling flame half a decade too long.
I rebelled in anger against the truth when I saw it, he had a spark for me but I was still on fire for him.
I hid inside myself where no one could see my tears, masking with a smile as I agonized over the hurt that dug deep into me puncturing new wounds and ripping through previous scars carved by his deceit.
Yet, still I find myself able to mouth "I love you."
