I just don't care anymore...
I have become unstably numb
Every care has been exhausted
The color burned from every pigment
The anxiety dripped from every pore
The dilation in my eyes have shrunk
My high has become an all-time low
My depressant becomes a constant upper
Cut a little with the tip of my blade
I see the blood but I can’t feel the pain
The constant listlessness drives me insane
The fire of passion in my heart is extinguished
I have no reason to carry on any further
I have given so much to suffer so greatly
What is the point of working for something any more...

Sew My Eyes Shut
Won’t you sew my eyes shut?
Deny me the pleasure of sight
Allow me to miss the rising sun
Torture me as I walk blindly
To the sound of your haunting whispers
Enchanted by your magic spell
Feeling the ground break beneath
Clinging to the edge, slipping
Falling until I hit rock bottom
Laughing as I lay in absolute pain
Then bring me back to life
Still believing in all of your lies
Won’t you sew my eyes shut again?
They are slowing opening again
Revealing your darkest secrets
Seeing who you really are underneath
An angel and the...

Faded Memories and Nicotine Nights
Late at night, in the light of a full moon
I pull up a lawn chair and take in the warm air
The wrapper of my Marlboro Gold crinkles
As I pull out a cigarette carefully, ensuring its safety
The flame from the lighter glows upon my face
Inhale and exhale as the sweet nicotine takes over
Inducing a high as I begin to let my feelings flow
Closing my eyes I begin to play images of memories
Like film, my eyes project clips of my younger days
When things were much easier, persuaded by innocence
When mistakes had no consequence only a lesson learned
I wish...

Closing my eyes I begin to play images of memories

Addicted to Misery
Hold out your knife so I can fall on it
I won’t let you have the satisfaction
Of being the one that buried it first
Twist the blade and watch me smile
The endorphins are flowing in my veins
As the dopamine kicks in to full gear
It turns me on when you kick in my teeth
With your words like steel tipped boots
Landing in my mouth as I laugh manically
Open up my scars again with your claws
Watching it flow like crimson waterfalls
Waiting for it to pool on the concrete
So my face can land in it and drown
Push me deep into the soiled grass...
I won’t let you have the satisfaction

Open up my scars again with your claws

Creep (A Series of Haikus)
Outcast
Sheltered in my mind
Only my thoughts bring me peace
Thoughts of constant escape
Mockery
They taunt me with laughs
A clown dressed in gothic attire
Bringing me further down
Foolish
To think I’d be happy
To believe in fantasy
That I was regular
Failure
In all that I do
It’s what I seem to do well
Even in this writing
Normal
What I long to be
I hate being so damn awkward
I’m just a fucking creep
Sheltered in my mind
Only my thoughts bring me peace
Thoughts of constant escape
Mockery
They taunt me with laughs
A clown dressed in gothic attire
Bringing me further down
Foolish
To think I’d be happy
To believe in fantasy
That I was regular
Failure
In all that I do
It’s what I seem to do well
Even in this writing
Normal
What I long to be
I hate being so damn awkward
I’m just a fucking creep

A Mess
Fucking scum, I should have never been born
The fabric of my life is scattered and torn
I hate the voice that encircles my head
With taunting that never ceases to end
Calling me out on my constant failures
Creating quite the mental endeavors
Bottom of the barrel, always in last place
Even the mirror breaks when I see my face
As it crumbles to the ground scarring my arm
Picking up the pieces causing more self-harm
I just can’t seem to do anything right anymore
Makes me wonder what god put me here for
Just living each day out pointlessly like...

Daydream
Come hither and hold me in your arms
I need your warmth more than ever
Caress me in your soft skin and pull me in
Let me know that you still care
And promise that you will never leave me
Like heroine each time you stoke my hair
I feel the sudden release as I endure the high
I breathe in the sweet smell of your perfume
The lavender scent is always so enticing
Whisper loving words, let me know you are here
I’m so lost in this dark and scary world
As we watch the sun slowly creep away
I also feel your grip slowly creep from me
I feel so alone...
I need your warmth more than ever
Caress me in your soft skin and pull me in
Let me know that you still care
And promise that you will never leave me
Like heroine each time you stoke my hair
I feel the sudden release as I endure the high
I breathe in the sweet smell of your perfume
The lavender scent is always so enticing
Whisper loving words, let me know you are here
I’m so lost in this dark and scary world
As we watch the sun slowly creep away
I also feel your grip slowly creep from me
I feel so alone...

Execution of my mind
Where is the door, Where are the windows?
They might be behind these white paddings
What am I wearing all bound in straps? it feels tight
There’s something I know that isn’t right
I’m on death row, serving life imprisoned in my head
The only crime committed is just trying to stay alive
I am so tired from these long nights staying awake
I feel the needle pierce my skin, as my eyes shut
Open for a peek and try to make out the faces of my captors,
But my vision has become blurred as the toxin ensues
The voices get deeper, I hear them calling my name
A...

Eulogy
Dearly departed we are gathered here today
To pay tribute to a truly lost soul
Stated, his demise was untimely and unruly
His quest for eternal peace is at last complete
A lit match whose smile had once set ablaze
To the hearts of the ones who cared for him
That simply burned out in a cloud of smoke
Leaving us with charred remnants of the past
He left in a single page note, written in ink
That all he needed was to clear his mind
But sadly, he did it on the wrong side of a .45
Though we mourn for his leaving of this world
We pray that he finds...

Dark feelings
Stranded, alone, cold
Wishing for death
An everyday reality
To fill my boring monotony
I’m so sick of living here
Facing myself in a broken mirror
The numbness has started to wear
Again, I feel my soul begin to tear
This isn’t just some bad dream
This is the real fucking deal
Something is wrong with me
Something I just can’t tell
Maybe it’s the coffee or the nicotine
That holds the last stand of string
Keeping me together in this world
The weight of burden is about to burst
Causing this gun and my head to converse
I just...

I'm Sorry... (Finale)
I’m sorry I can’t always be there when you need me
Sometimes I get caught up in shit as well you see
I’m sorry I can’t always be strong like you want me to be
I can’t help that nature provided me such a weak body
Sorry for the tears I cried and having all these dark feelings
That I can’t provide you sufficient answers and meaning
I’m sorry I can’t be everything that you wish I was
I’m just another human living without a cause
I’m sorry now that I have to go away for a while
I need to cleanse myself, body mind and soul
This is my finale. I’ll be back...
