Poet Introduction
I write songs of the heavy variety, intended to be screamed. Poems come to me erratically, and I'm writing a book. I'd appreciate ANY feedback.

Remember to forget
Letting go Is easy if you remember how it's done.
Turn around.
Then close your eyes.
Count slowly back to one.
4 steps behind you,
Then 3 paces to your left.
Remember to avoid,
The foxhole where she broke her leg.
An hour past the tree you stenciled with tattoos of forgotten love.
Then down the hill
where you both laid in the clouds.
Past that fork in the road
We decided to smash our phones, and run away from the world.
Then down the path
we first walked together.
where late nights in early summer,
And...
Turn around.
Then close your eyes.
Count slowly back to one.
4 steps behind you,
Then 3 paces to your left.
Remember to avoid,
The foxhole where she broke her leg.
An hour past the tree you stenciled with tattoos of forgotten love.
Then down the hill
where you both laid in the clouds.
Past that fork in the road
We decided to smash our phones, and run away from the world.
Then down the path
we first walked together.
where late nights in early summer,

The Liar
Here comes the story of the liar.
Another time,
Another place not far away.
He burdened the world.
With all the truth that he decayed.
I watched in silence.
As I gathered the worms,
The maggots and seeds.
And prayed for justice.
But revenge...
Is gonna make that fucker bleed.
Spewing with ignorance,
And taking with greed
What is rightfully ours.
The future looks so bleak.
Man up!
Put down the gloves.
The worlds not on your back.
Bow down.
Admit you're wrong.
While you still have left...
Another time,
Another place not far away.
He burdened the world.
With all the truth that he decayed.
I watched in silence.
As I gathered the worms,
The maggots and seeds.
And prayed for justice.
But revenge...
Is gonna make that fucker bleed.
Spewing with ignorance,
And taking with greed
What is rightfully ours.
The future looks so bleak.
Man up!
Put down the gloves.
The worlds not on your back.
Bow down.
Admit you're wrong.

Can You Smell The Absence?
Does anybody notice the silence in the air?
The haunting absence getting bigger everyday.
Becoming a plague of "nothing".
While the trees echo with life, and laughter.
Cells mutate, and divide, and grow.
Every forest that gets slaughtered for development leave ear splitting screams, as they fall to the ground.
It leaves an absence in the air,
And a looming figure of death shaking his head in disappointment.
All this concrete, and glass take the place of wildlife, and air.
You're spreading a stench of death,
As strong as carbon...
The haunting absence getting bigger everyday.
Becoming a plague of "nothing".
While the trees echo with life, and laughter.
Cells mutate, and divide, and grow.
Every forest that gets slaughtered for development leave ear splitting screams, as they fall to the ground.

And a looming figure of death shaking his head in disappointment.

You're spreading a stench of death,

Wigging out
I'm wigging out
I just can't shake this.
Wigging out,
I'm gonna break this.
My hands are shaking,
Breathing, erratic.
I don't know how much longer I can hold on.
Wigging out,
My throat is closing.
Wigging out,
don't know where I'm going.
How much time is left,
I can not know
But wigging out,
I'll have to go.
Say you're sorry,
Take your time.
Put yourselves in pretty poses.
Just don't leave me roses
When I'm gone.
I just can't shake this.
Wigging out,
I'm gonna break this.
My hands are shaking,
Breathing, erratic.
I don't know how much longer I can hold on.
Wigging out,
My throat is closing.
Wigging out,
don't know where I'm going.
How much time is left,
I can not know
But wigging out,
I'll have to go.
Say you're sorry,
Take your time.
Put yourselves in pretty poses.
Just don't leave me roses
When I'm gone.

Murder Feels Good
I killed another today.
It was fresh, and felt good as I crushed his skull beneath my boot.
I felt a surge of power flow over me
And I actually chuckled.
I didn't stop when the knife broke the skin, and I smiled the whole time I sliced through the muscle in his leg while he was screaming.
As I said, it felt good.
More powerful than cocaine.
I didn't stop until I realized his blood was pouring onto the carpet, and felt my knee get wet with it.
There was nothing to prove to anyone.
And I know everyone's about...
It was fresh, and felt good as I crushed his skull beneath my boot.

Shadow At My Back
There's a shadow breathing down my neck.
Ominous, and dark.
He watches my movements.
He protests, to the bone.
There's a figure hanging over me
I just can't shake him loose.
There's just no point in running,
He drags at my feet.
He sends shivers down my spine
There's no place
I can hide.
There's no escape, from the shadows of my mind.
Ominous, and dark.
He watches my movements.
He protests, to the bone.
There's a figure hanging over me
I just can't shake him loose.
There's just no point in running,
He drags at my feet.
He sends shivers down my spine
There's no place
I can hide.
There's no escape, from the shadows of my mind.

Time For Everything
There's a time for everything.
There's a time for awkward silences
Frostbitten toes,
Times when literally anything goes.
There's a time for believing
And being let down
There's a time for your grieving.
And room for your frown.
There's a time to walk in circles
Aimlessly through town.
Because life is a gamble
And without the regret
What's the point in living
Without placing a bet?
There's a time for awkward silences
Frostbitten toes,
Times when literally anything goes.
There's a time for believing
And being let down
There's a time for your grieving.
And room for your frown.
There's a time to walk in circles
Aimlessly through town.
Because life is a gamble
And without the regret
What's the point in living
Without placing a bet?

Bleeding Child
Wipe your eyes bleeding child.
It's only just begun.
There are nightmares you are feeding
That fly to close to the sun.
If you let them take you
The water will surely rise.
A flood will come abruptly
And soon take over the skies.
Don't give in just yet.
There are worse things you will find
Than letting monsters in.
Hold on tight,
And stand your ground.
Don't be afraid to win.
It's only just begun.
There are nightmares you are feeding
That fly to close to the sun.
If you let them take you
The water will surely rise.
A flood will come abruptly
And soon take over the skies.
Don't give in just yet.
There are worse things you will find
Than letting monsters in.
Hold on tight,
And stand your ground.
Don't be afraid to win.

Struggling through writing
I'm not a writer,
you will see.
Words don't easily flow.
My words
are naughty,
they don't express, what I want them to say.
I get it out,
through strain and grout
I scrape it from my mind.
It's a difficult process,
to make it flow
and get it on the page.
But if I keep on writing
hopefully this all will change with age..
you will see.
Words don't easily flow.
My words
are naughty,
they don't express, what I want them to say.
I get it out,
through strain and grout
I scrape it from my mind.
It's a difficult process,
to make it flow
and get it on the page.
But if I keep on writing
hopefully this all will change with age..

Kristofer Laing - Radio
Here I am alone again.
Talking to myself
staring at the radio.
The walls inside my head start to bleed. I've conceived
The only time i'm happy
Is When the radio plays my song again.
It plays on and on
And I'll sing along.
as the radio begins again.
Perfect melody,
Promotes symmetry,
like asteroids in my mind.
With no evidence,
Provides confidence
Alignment starts to come.
Here I am again alone
Wanting to conform,
The bleeding walls recede,
And I start to see
The only time im really happy
Is...

Love is..
Love is tender,
love is sweet.
It takes a gentle heart.
love will leave you,
cold and dry.
a quiet subtle art.
allures the best,
and takes the rest,
her love is but a lie.
She play's her song,
and angels sing,
my love why won't you die?
Love is but a tender game,
of malice, hate, and greed.
Your love is sick,
your name is weak.
I will not let you feed.
love is sweet.
It takes a gentle heart.
love will leave you,
cold and dry.
a quiet subtle art.
allures the best,
and takes the rest,
her love is but a lie.
She play's her song,
and angels sing,

Love is but a tender game,
of malice, hate, and greed.
Your love is sick,
your name is weak.
I will not let you feed.

Swallowed By The Flames (Deathcore Song)
This is the house that your doubt built.
Trapped in this room,
you closed your eyes.
and things have never been.
NEVER BEEN THE SAME!
Just to make things clear.
You drowned me out with your fear.
where was your courage ?
when you walked out on your life?
you GUTLESS PIG!
I'll make you choke on your words..
you'll fucking DIE!
DIE!
And then you'll choke on your misery.
a burning epitome!
rooted inside of your soul.
Forgive me for the violence..
it started in my eyes...
Trapped in this room,
you closed your eyes.
and things have never been.
NEVER BEEN THE SAME!
Just to make things clear.
You drowned me out with your fear.
where was your courage ?
when you walked out on your life?
you GUTLESS PIG!
I'll make you choke on your words..
you'll fucking DIE!
DIE!
And then you'll choke on your misery.
a burning epitome!
rooted inside of your soul.
Forgive me for the violence..
it started in my eyes...
