My name is James Chase Tharp Velador IV. My Dad died, My mom went catatonic, I caught my classroom on fire, Ran away, Lost my soul, Stole it back And fell in love with a pen and paper. Welcome to the oddity that is the doodles of my mind.

Liberate
Liberate me or I'll do it myself.
Break the rules but never the chains.
Shame, the links are thick and forged from hell.
How long? Break the rules but never the chains.
Never the same, shifting forms and trading faces.
Dolled up broad in scary places chases across the hot traces of our humanity.
And the lie we believe is we are what we make it.
We are victims of our own device in this sense of a serious cynical meltdown.
And knelt down we kick them.
Worth less than a sixpence, bad luck and bad cards.
No friends then, just memories and battle scars.
Break the rules but never the chains.
Shame, the links are thick and forged from hell.
How long? Break the rules but never the chains.
Never the same, shifting forms and trading faces.
Dolled up broad in scary places chases across the hot traces of our humanity.
And the lie we believe is we are what we make it.
We are victims of our own device in this sense of a serious cynical meltdown.
And knelt down we kick them.
Worth less than a sixpence, bad luck and bad cards.

Fantasy, that is Me
I scare myself sometimes, because my thoughts are so diverse and abstract. Of purity and beauty, they mostly lack.
I fear my own soul, I fear my vanity. Not because of it's sporadic seethes. I fear the Devil will say I have neither. That is, when I meet her.
I fear my own, little fantasy world, because it makes more sense than the one I live in. Even the sickly and the sad seem to grin.
I don't fear my sanity. It's beyond my desire, it's only good for constricts me from soaring higher. Here, you can have it. I want the psychosis and delusions and sick little habits....

The Crow
I recall a time,
When my hands were stained black as coal,
&I decided that birds could fly.
I took my word&swore it to oath.
Oath to beauty in the sky.
&in this beauty, I swore my heart&soul.
I crafted&twined, created my mind.
I couldn't believe my eyes when the bird was a Crow.
Dazed&Shocked, all I did was gawk.
&find myself amazed,
For, if this were my dream,&a dream come true 'twas.
I'd find myself awake.
Frozen&stagnant from part of me in feather&wing.
I sat&saw myself for the first time: A...

With You
You pushed me down, you picked me up,
Only to throw me away again.
In this game of "Cat and Mouse",
You were the feline of love and sin.
I stitched my wounds but your scars stil haunt,
I prayed for you but you made it my taunt.
These strings ribboning my wrists,
My legs, my head.
Leave me with omens as they twist,
With you, I'm dead..
Only to throw me away again.
In this game of "Cat and Mouse",
You were the feline of love and sin.

Leave me with omens as they twist,

Empty Chest
Give me your heart and I'll give you an empty chest.
Your words snapped my neck, I wore a bulletproof vest.
Give me a reason for God and good judgement!
There's lust in the air,
Vividly pungent.
The clouds stopped talking, they left me here,
But silence is nothing more than I should expect.
The stupid boys salivate their lips, she's prey.
Eyes lock and shackled in devious hips!
A kiss!
And now he fades,
The closer she gets, the more he stray.
And with all his words, he dies.
Alive, more or less.
Give the wind your shine and let them...

I Need You
I need you like the gun you're holding needs another bullet,
Palms are sweaty, arms are heavy,
Contemplate then pull it.
I think it foolish& careless of me to walk away,
To find my harmony but walk alone on scary days.
I need you like I need to watch you tear my soul apart.
I need you like I need to hear you pluck strings of my heart.
I need you like I need your grip around my throat to tighten.
I need you like I need to watch your knuckles slowly whiten.
Because of you, my reality fuses with dreams,
My mental capacity, bursting and...

If
And If my world were to fall apart, my soul to shred in shards
I would fly my scars, I would fly my scars.
And if my life was all a dream, I'd miss reality
I'd miss the truth in the world, I'd miss the hard parts
And if life, my life had a purpose. A reason why I'm always nervous,
Why I'm shaking this fear of taking my last breath on the surface
And if my life had a plan, I'd probably need a map
With an X mark next to the arrows for a helping hand.
If everything I needed came to me, with these two hands I'd parts the seas

Grab the Moon
I can set water on fire
And make the Pope lie.
Bring silence to a choir,
And make the devil cry.
Make coal shimmer,
And fall from hell.
Turn Saints from sinners,
And land in the sky.
Make zero equal one.
Make myself king.
I can swallow the Sun,
And bite the lightning.
I can make deadmen walk,
And fishes fly.
Make animals talk,
And make the Gods sigh.
I can ponder imponderables.
Make never come soon.
I can do the impossible,
Watch me grab the moon.
And make the Pope lie.
Bring silence to a choir,
And make the devil cry.
Make coal shimmer,
And fall from hell.
Turn Saints from sinners,
And land in the sky.
Make zero equal one.
Make myself king.
I can swallow the Sun,
And bite the lightning.
I can make deadmen walk,
And fishes fly.
Make animals talk,
And make the Gods sigh.
I can ponder imponderables.
Make never come soon.
I can do the impossible,
Watch me grab the moon.

I Am A Ghost
Yesterday's memory is always fading. Fading from bright to dull in tides wading. In saying I was strong: You may laugh at me. But! In saying I was brave: I can still stand here today with scars to achieve&blood to bleed. The past, call it my smoke. What I did; my high. &long after I've sobered, the smoke still traces the sky. But it wasn't me anyway, just the ghost of yesterday.
Today, I can try to smile at the little things. If, in valor I am; I wouldn't be surprised but more of less too glorified because of my rarely valient hands. Yet. If today I dwelled in...

Shine, Soul, Shine!
Eyes! you may blink now, you may open your windows and see the beauty again.
Don't be timid, eyelids, let that transluscent glow shine from yonder in.
Tongue! Be bitten or glued to thy mouth. For hark! The horizon fills with skeptics.
your truth to be lost in their hectic, hide your majestic.
Ears! Hear the now, nevermind your past. Curtain their voice, their opinion, their sass.
Ears! Hear now first! Save yester and morrow for last.
Lips! Open but refrain from your anguish and exhuberance.
Refrain to say this and hear harlequin nuisance!
Heart! Be open and...

Chemical Life
Take this vialed syringe.
Filled with love and peace.
Fulfill malicious intent.
Sail in neon seas.
Take this revolver,
With lead inscribed in Rome.
Pull the trigger to solve it,
Watch hearts take you home.
Touch the clouds and eat the wind,
Scream sweet nothings, hold everything in.
Crawl the streets in glitter and grit,
Stand and stumble while smart ones would sit
Lead hallucinogen trails in smoggy skies,
Be young, be free!
Live a chemical life.
Filled with love and peace.
Fulfill malicious intent.
Sail in neon seas.
Take this revolver,
With lead inscribed in Rome.
Pull the trigger to solve it,
Watch hearts take you home.
Touch the clouds and eat the wind,
Scream sweet nothings, hold everything in.
Crawl the streets in glitter and grit,
Stand and stumble while smart ones would sit
Lead hallucinogen trails in smoggy skies,
Be young, be free!
Live a chemical life.
