Schizophrenic Philosophers
Catatonic inscriptions etches through my textile discernment
Insidious cycles of turmoil encased within a festering distress
Uncertainty obscures my comfort into a chaotic complacency
Transforming the subtle movement of thought and bewilderment
Through the re-occurring sequences of paranoia and my uneasy psychosis
Haunting the whole of this psyche and the mental state I've come to fancy
A tell-tale apprehension of merriment and contentment may be a dismal reality
All the while being obsessed with the unfavorable outcomes I conjure within ...

Aquatic Schooling
Don't worry there's so much time to bandy
What is all this talk of sorrow?
Everything here is fine and dandy
Jump in the barrel- Forget the morrow
The suited angler is seldom reeling
To hear and heal all your feelings

Dominance Of Immiseration
To prolong such an absence of vexatious jove
Denying the will of instinct to arouse elation
Self-inflicted desolation in which we all strove
To create an empty shell like a fronted castration
All the while being comforted by a depressing superiority
As the uniqueness of our struggle blends in with conformity
Yearning for our relations to meet with a tragic end
Anticipating the consequence of a self-appointed woe
Glorifying our character as we passionately pretend
To endure an exclusive emotion that we all undergo
This proclamation of individuality...

EMOticon
Apathy has long been the cause of resistance
We are the victims of karma's entrapment
Are you blind to this futile existence?
Has fear become the sole instrument;
Playing out a soundtrack for your life?
Orchestrated maladies played out with a knife?
How deep have you dug inside of your arm?
Has your guilt merely scraped the surface?
How long have you resorted to this self harm?
Is that your pride reforming into substance?
As you initiate yourself into this hollow scene;
do you find strength behind an empty screen?
Can you comprehend...

Will To Mouth
Enclosed within a vagrant expression
Contemplating the outcome of It's social reply
Thought patterns hinder my dormant intuition
A speechless absurdity and the feedback I deny
Passively containing a rant of insanity
Left with naught but the extent of my vanity
An articulate diction holds no worth in the shy
Hesitantly pondering if the words will come out right
Choking on the pretense failure of what I don't apply
A decomposition of deductions may cause some delight
,but what is the purpose when I fail to confide?

An Objective Portrait Of Benevolence
A guilty pleasure of carnal exuberance
Congenital aspirations met with no defiance
I've found luxury in finding what was sought
A frivolous triumph taken with moderate pace
Though, A willful pursuance it was not
Merely a loafing fate met face to face
stares from the immoralists fronting smiles
lust takes form in the death of self denial
From the heated chase of senseless sin
Or, a marriage founded on a whim or gin
We are the hypocrisies of unconditional romances
The mindless breed of Objective contradictions
Aloof in the thought of all our...

Mankind As Deities
This is the publicity of reputation
Masses clinging to a vacant infatuation
The content conspires with a devious deception
As the catalyst to this god-like apparition
Illuminated humanity cast into perfection
Swiftly ascending towards a fixated reception
Is that profundity pouring from quotation?
Or just a rhythmic scheme lacking inquisitions?
`` He's the one, who likes all our pretty songs....But he knows not what it means.`` - Nirvana, In Bloom

Masochist Pride
I've proven myself to be weak
Limbs as frail as my hopes and dreams
How can I live with a future so bleak?
My tired eyes see nothing but deceit
Leaving them to bleed and weep
This cowardice makes it hard to see
I strive for the life that everyone needs
But all it's taught me is how to bleed
This is the end of the line
No hero could spare this sight
Faith swears I'm cursed by the divine
Or is this the end of a tainted bloodline?
Why is that we're so scared to be?
Hollow and without cause we've been searching to see
A pointless birth...

I'll Never Get This Right
Gazing through the liminal windows
Only to find what I already hold so dearly
Fronting smiles for a quick benefit
As my stone-set complexion wanes wearily
And, my Humanity animates this miserable repose
Into a shameless portrayal of diminished whit
And, all of these unsent letters forming disappointment
Remind me that this sickly apathy could have been avoided
I saw the torment approaching from behind every grin-
Connecting my reality to this life I've been appointed
A continuation of actuality so meek and despondent ...

Failed Attempts
Remnants of life stained upon these floor boards
Absence of colour marking nights that have passed
Vain attempts only known to cold charaded swords
Lying untouched and begging for these hands once more
Empty shells of my character needing to make this last
Good company procedes as I whine and start to pour
A severance of ties dripping from this celluloid form
Blatant remarks come crawling through distorted imagery
Lessons once learned distastefully mock and reinform
That it's better to be accepted rather than respected
Dancing upon...

Running In Circles
This furnace inside lives and breathes
Enveloping inspiration as it seethes-
The doubt I hold so deep in this chest
Cowering behind the resolve of my unrest-
The defeated victims of self satisfaction,
Demise of regret being the catalyst to action
Clarity ensnares this skull in affliction
Not as an ailment, but an unstable distraction
A phase of contentment thats claims it's persistent
Clinging to triumph as I become more resistent
Merely a pessimist subjected to constant rupture
Dwelling on the cognition of this frail structure
Damned...
