Final Taste
If I wasn’t so nauseous
Maybe I would go for a final taste
It’s been such a lengthy time
I lost all desire to the sense
Instead bile lines my throat
And I can’t help but support a gag
Maybe if I wasn’t so disgusted with myself
I would’ve enjoyed a final taste of you
Maybe I would go for a final taste
It’s been such a lengthy time
I lost all desire to the sense
Instead bile lines my throat
And I can’t help but support a gag
Maybe if I wasn’t so disgusted with myself
I would’ve enjoyed a final taste of you

I’m f**king Pissed
Yeah, I’m fucking pissed!
Told a thing or two
Try to fix the thing for you
And I get bludgeoned with hate.
It’s none of my business
Until you made it my business
Wearing my name out
As if it’s those ugly sneakers
You wear after years of pleading.
Yeah, I’ll fucking call you out!
All the bullshit and pain
Caused by none other than you
Because you can’t keep to yourself.
That husband you currently have?
Your cheating will cause a rift with that too.
Yeah, blame it on me!
I’d have better luck talking to a...

You I crave
It is you I crave
An untamed need
Welling a pit in my chest
You, the warmth of life
An inferno in itself
Wrapping me in a suede of heat
You, who was blessed
By Mother Nature herself
An everlasting aroma of evergreens
Fused with a kick of mint
You, who tastes like maple
Sugary with every kiss
Begging to be devoured
You, experiencing pleasure
Cocking my head to connect with yours
Grazing against one another
A wave of relief and excite.
The you who altered me
Compelling me to...

Love Is An Illusion
Cloak runs clear
As I’m ravished in pretend.
An unwilling jerk
It forces me in a mirage.
Pastel cotton candy skies
A lake coated in a green hue
Glisten against one another.
A stench of pollen
So overwhelming it curls my nose hairs.
Everything is perfect.
As I brought the jar to my lips
I gasp for a sip
And the bitter taste clogs my tonsils.
Ultimately, it was the taste
The bitter coat of gin
That ushered me awake.
It’s the captivating effect of love.
Or alcohol.

Little Guy On My Shoulder
Little Guy on my shoulder
You’re good at skewing my perspective
Your insecurities transfer to me
So emotionally, I’m insane.
A sliver of glee cannot last
You always get in the way
To remind me of my forbidden lover
With you I must stay.
Never have you been physical
But in your presence I’m terrified
To hear the crude words you speak
Proves a level of toxicity.
I can’t help but ponder
“How do you speak to kin?”
“Do you call them a bitch, too?”
No, I bet you don’t even yell at them.

The Wild-flower
A mind like a wild-flower
My patience is wilting .
A drought of motivation
I physically can’t move.
With crispy leaves
And a floppy stem
I am losing time.
Anger and discontent show
But no remedy.
Fertilizer would’ve helped.
A shower could’ve been crucial.
Perhaps a florist would’ve been the best route.

Finally 21
Peer pressure and addiction
They go hand in hand
Rolling up a joint, the friction
My ignorance couldn’t have planned.
Funny how I’m past reliant
Well before my birthday
At a single mention I become defiant
The irony to get high on a workday.
I pray for a major event to set me in place
I pray to ignore the urge that makes my heart race
But now, I’m finally twenty-one!
And not a soul is willing to fix a helpless case.

Burning Emotions
There’s hesitation within the mirror.
A sensational ache, flames,
Ever so slowly immerse
In the crevices of her face.
Discontent and disarray,
Form a sick tension,
Bound in the jaw.
A fist bashes through,
Confined with hate.
The screech she produces was not the pain,
But the ignition of loathing from her core.
Memories they ping only resentment,
Experiences of a broken household,
Experiences of a neglected heart.
Like a cactus starved of water,
She was able to contain herself.
But the wilting...

The Cult
Mumble the hymn
Without a stutter
And the gardenias
They’ll creep up
To hug her
Lifeless body
To become one with nature
Or join the cult.

My Truth
Momma, I’m a sinner
To feel the way I felt
Not a soul deserves it
I blacklisted and judged
When many were at lows
And now I must repent
Momma, I’m in the wrong
I argue with those I love
But I never take responsibility
For the curdling things I’ve spoken
And our relations die
Along with another part of me
Momma, I love you still
Those cuts on my legs
Weren’t because of you
But the experiences
The agony
I realize I put myself through
Momma, I’m trying to get better…. ...

Sometimes I Scare Myself
Today I found out that sometimes I scare myself.
The things I think about aren’t considered normal,
But I’m not sure what is.
“What if I took one too many sleeping pills-“
Too far?
Well,
My life isn’t shit,
But I am truly living a shitty life.
Sometimes I hold a knife to my chest,
Hard enough to feel the motion,
Gentle enough to leave no damage.
When I realize,
I always shoo the impulse.
I can’t help when certain concepts wrap around my head,
Almost a need to seek out the movement,
Just enough to get a rise outta me....
