The Secrets Within
I’ll retreat from the shame inside
Where all the pain resides
Take a break from the thoughts
Close off where my battles are fought
Yellow tape cordons off
The places marshmellowy soft
The things they don’t need to know
My life is not a reality show
I see the way they look at me
I’m never what they want me to be
Turn around to walk a lie
The list goes on of what I deny
Tears come down when I’m alone
Shut down the computer, turn off the phone
How do I find the words to say…
When no one believed me yesterday?
Take a...

On The Eve of Death
In the darkness they come for me
I can hear them creeping
And I know tonight
There will be no sleeping
A scratch upon a window
A tap upon a door
Glass panes silently rattling
As a siren sounds its call
My eardrums, they shatter
Of things that violently combust
Tears stream down my face in fear
My skin flecked with rust
Footsteps on the floorboards
In the night I cower
I can hear the screams of others near
Revoking silences power
I bite my lip and it bleeds
Metallic on my tongue
Oh God please don’t let me die...
I can hear them creeping
And I know tonight
There will be no sleeping
A scratch upon a window
A tap upon a door
Glass panes silently rattling
As a siren sounds its call
My eardrums, they shatter
Of things that violently combust
Tears stream down my face in fear
My skin flecked with rust
Footsteps on the floorboards
In the night I cower
I can hear the screams of others near
Revoking silences power
I bite my lip and it bleeds
Metallic on my tongue
Oh God please don’t let me die...

The Glass Wall
The light hits the walls around me and reflects
The world that surrounds me, I reject
From this life I am given, I defect
For Me and Myself have never met
I seek solace beneath the ground
In my comforts I also drown
Every thought, it drags me down
Inside me the violence erupts and rebounds
In the darkness I seek peace
In the darkness there is no release
Today the darkness I cannot defeat
Play the song and press repeat
Walls of glass hold no warmth
All I am only haunts
The voices reach inside and taunt
This river of...

FICTIONAL PROSE

The Fire
How can something so intangible feel so real? I cannot see it, I cannot touch it, yet it consumes me. It grows, it shrinks, it twists my insides and turns me inside, but on the outside I am whole. I ache. I ache to feel. I ache to bleed. I ache for the fire than will not burn.
I look in the mirror and I see the ghost. The ghost of who I could be, who I could have been. The memories are blurred and insubstantial. They are not enough. I am both myself and no one at all. I float in the un-dream that is an unending reality.
It comes in the daylight. It comes in the darkness...

Upturned
They’re talking
They’re tearing
Ripping me apart
… with words
.......They’re scheming
.......They’re dreaming
.......Seizing…
.......It’s absurd
They’re lying
I’m crying
Yes, they are oh so…
Concerned
.......They’re blinding
.......I’m minding
.......Inside it’s all…
.......Burned
They’re talking
They’re turning
Step back
Nothing’s learned
.......All hinting
.......Left thinking
.......The lines here…
.......Are blurred
Stop talking
I’m walking ...

ANGER POEM

Angel, Devil
I feel the joy of the self inflicted
The joy and madness righteously conflicted
All my words, they're contradicted
When from my soul my heart's evicted
I live by the standards other set
I set myself up to lose the bet
When the silence claims me, there are regrets
Things pushed down, I can't forget
Lost in words, an illusion of perfection
I've perfected the perfect rejection
My identity split into fragments, sections
When the only truth is that I am looking for a connection
Angel, Devil on my shoulder ...
The joy and madness righteously conflicted
All my words, they're contradicted
When from my soul my heart's evicted
I live by the standards other set
I set myself up to lose the bet
When the silence claims me, there are regrets
Things pushed down, I can't forget
Lost in words, an illusion of perfection
I've perfected the perfect rejection
My identity split into fragments, sections
When the only truth is that I am looking for a connection
Angel, Devil on my shoulder ...

I Was Looking…
I was looking for a hit
I was looking for a fix
The darkest high
I'll ever know
I was looking for a... thing
So much trouble does it bring
Deeper
Than you'll ever know
I was looking for an answer
But the question is a cancer
Scars
I'll never show
I was waiting for a day
It's not up for display
A place
I'll never go
I said all the words
Here they're all unheard
What doesn't shine
Will never glow
Adrift upon the breeze
The flowers make me sneeze
Yeah...
That's just how it goes...

Here they're all unheard
What doesn't shine
Will never glow
Adrift upon the breeze
The flowers make me sneeze
Yeah...
That's just how it goes...
