Heartbreak, depression, anger and all that good stuff
Empty Jack
~~~
A distant sail on evening's set
no color binding form
an empty flask where you once sat
and kept my shoulder warm
~
Transparent
stripped
reminders gone
no keepsakes marking time
no lost refrain or captive song
depletes infectious rhyme
~
Revoking nights of shameless play
beneath a comber wave
where fervent sky entombing dusk
rent heart to looming grave
~
Conception nests in solitude
o'er seabird casted song
born in mist of crashing swell
adieu ...
bereave prolongs
~
In time perhaps
in your respite
you'll stumble
breaking stride
beneath your step an empty flask
your memory
corked
inside

Tears of Sincerity
..And tonight we atone
thee undying dreams
Bottled up inside of me
There must be a way
The false tears falling from eyes
Tears of sincerity with agony that cries
oh, these are not false tears
Falling from my eyes
That people tend to show
Hearts of cold and then move on once again
For all the the things we stood for
I pray the days won't ask for more
Conquest is victory so they can say
Descrate the silence
All to the breathing air
Consecrate the violence
Leading us no where
The false tears you see
Falling from my eyes
Tears of sincerity with agony that cries
oh, these are not false tears
People tend to show
leading us to be something we don't know
..And tonight we atone
The undying dreams
oh, these are not false tears that you see
Tears of sincerity with agony that cries...

Friends Let Friends Take Snake Oil
Friends let friends take snake oil
Friends let friends keep secrets
Friends let friends waste money
Friends let friends have egos
Friends let friends flunk tests
Friends let friends get roasted for bad jokes
But friends
never
let friends
kill themselves
or their loved ones
with alcoholism
Don't be an enabler.
Read Death and the Lady'Chylde
...because we need better friends
Friends let friends keep secrets

Friends let friends get roasted for bad jokes
But friends
never
let friends
kill themselves
or their loved ones
with alcoholism
Don't be an enabler.

Blowing Away (Conversing With GOD)
Must we live in bubbles to evade Corona's troubles?
GOD come take the wheel and do it on the double
That's my humble request that awaits your reply
If you truly exist up there beyond the sky
Arise from your slumber as these numbers increase
Resurrect some peace; make this pandemic cease
Reach down with a healing hand from where you stand
What's happening is hard for me to understand
Is this in the plan of the Grand Architect?
If so my Lord, I'm starting to lose respect
You could interject whenever you saw fit
My faith is taking a hit, bit by little bit
Forget all of that not questioning your will
With so many suffering who need to heal
And the water is still poisonous in Flint
Should I not ask about where your time is spent?
Can I not vent with the free will that you gave?
Should I not be pissed about this world that's depraved?
When my Granny reached her grave it changed my view of you
Now so many days I can't even say that you're true
What am I supposed to do about these agnostic thoughts?
I want to believe in you and that they're battles being fought
I'm rather distraught about even feeling this way
My mustard seed of faith is slowly blowing away
GOD come take the wheel and do it on the double
That's my humble request that awaits your reply
If you truly exist up there beyond the sky
Arise from your slumber as these numbers increase
Resurrect some peace; make this pandemic cease
Reach down with a healing hand from where you stand
What's happening is hard for me to understand
Is this in the plan of the Grand Architect?
If so my Lord, I'm starting to lose respect
You could interject whenever you saw fit

Can I not vent with the free will that you gave?
Should I not be pissed about this world that's depraved?
When my Granny reached her grave it changed my view of you
Now so many days I can't even say that you're true

All of that
You want sad?
That's literally everyone's best trait.
This should be a hell of a piece, like
a piece of cake for me to sit here
and talk shit about myself, and my
anger pointed towards my chest,
but depression is a piece of shit.
I know many of you will sit there and
pretend like you don't have a worry in
the world, but believe me, you're not
fooling one soul, we're starting to catch
on to you. I am depressed and not sure
what else at this point, but there are days
when I wake up feeling like jumping off
the nearest bridge in Downtown L.A. I
hope that's sad enough for you.

These are my only emotions lately. I don’t even know if this is good or bad, because thanks to depression, I got inspiration and wrote more than 5 sad poems. Someday I will publish them! Nevertheless, I decided to fight depression and I use TGM kratom powder from https://thegoldenmonk.com for this. I never used grass for treatment, but after numerous reviews I decided to try. I hope that it will not be harmful to my health. Has anyone already tried using kratom? Although even if it is harmful, I do not want to stop using it because it is my only salvation that gives me the desire to live.
