Poet Introduction
Keep an eye on me when I swim too close to the deep end, It will be a sight too see, as I thrash around trying to keep my head above water.

Introvert
All it takes is a fracture to form, then I'll crumble away, I'll unravel to reveal the shadow that is me
vultures have been waiting to examine someone like me, they won't grasp the hollowed carcass to feed apon
I'm the living joke, a tangled mess to play with, my existence is as empty as the room I write this, but still you take
scratching at insanities door, begging me to enter, so I'll never hurt another soul.

Devourment
Grey water... I'm stuck in the mirth again, the dark. I'm stuck on you again, the mud. Please give me the clarity I sought after, I'm begging you. I'm tired of the arms of hate and I can't give it up. How can I let you go when your all of me. I'm stuck in grey water, which way is up? Breach the water, get me out before I drown. If you can't do it, that's alright, I've never had a reliance on you.

Ending part of me
I love the way your always there for me, always holding onto me
Your embrace leads me upside down, like a love sick dog I obey you, I follow the descent into chaos
You make me do things for you I never thought possible, the way you twist me is perfect
I hate you and love you, please leave for a moment so I can talk behind your back to strangers
I will love you but I'll be the one to kill you at the same time, no placebo just straight lithium.
Your embrace leads me upside down, like a love sick dog I obey you, I follow the descent into chaos
You make me do things for you I never thought possible, the way you twist me is perfect
I hate you and love you, please leave for a moment so I can talk behind your back to strangers
I will love you but I'll be the one to kill you at the same time, no placebo just straight lithium.

Downturn
I'm held in clutch, I'm not in control, I won't hold my breath for you when your set on killing me
Your in control, holding me captive, you've opened my eyes to watch everything get destroyed
I'm in a state of repression, I want to forget, I'm in a state of depression, I can't escape
The ruler and the weak share skin, twisted realities from within, I am the chimera.
Your in control, holding me captive, you've opened my eyes to watch everything get destroyed
I'm in a state of repression, I want to forget, I'm in a state of depression, I can't escape
The ruler and the weak share skin, twisted realities from within, I am the chimera.

Shift
Does originality still exist?
The played out conversation resulting in nothing but regurgitated information tells me original thought is dead
What I write now has already been asked, so what drives us to repeat ourselves through the endless onslaught of the spoken word?
Perhaps the only thing to come from it is the self serving emotional gain, to be appreciated from the judgement of others, so we feel less alone
We sought out to be individuals with our own quirks but lack the perception to philosophise beyond ourselves
I am not above...

Tight rope
I pushed you, I pushed you, because you pushed me, I deserted you, deserted you, all I want is nothing
I begged you, I thanked you, for giving what I wanted, I left you, left you, because I'm suicidal
Don't need you, I need you, I'm running from the issue, the rafters, the bottle, a life of pain summed up with a noose
The anger, the hatred, the only thing that's real, it stopped me, it stopped me from the sadness that I feel.
Now I'm left with nothing, and no one because they just, push me and push me...

Desolate
The walls around me are just as cold and empty as the embrace from anyone I've ever met.

Ocean black
As the puddle I lie still, waiting to be touched. As the creek bed, I watch as life goes by. The clarity of the river inside is slowly churning with mud. My ocean is relentless when pressed by the moon above. This cycle repeats as does the tide, a whirlpool taking me down to the deepest pit.

Hymn of a shattered soul
My existence is only too feel the loss, anger and woe others bestow. A product stripped of humanity, glass now broken, a gift for the martyr and a gift to their ego. Moulded as a monster, yet one I can't forge, the clay of lies makes an abuser, yet naught fury in thy eye. I'm now hated like the stain on your soul, you want the forgiveness and your desperate for control.

Spineless or yellow?
Critique my poems, I am not easily offended so roast the fuck out of them. I'm just wanting to know if anyone has the spine do do it.

Earth worm
In the darkest days, the rain will come, to carve the path to and from. The dirt becomes mud, dilution of what once was. As the rain cascades and takes away all you love, your left drowning and churning in the mud. To those that caused the typhoon, I curse your name to heavens above. The sorrow I feel is but a flood.

Roses are red,
Violence is too,
cut into pieces,
For human stew. 😉
