POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
This is not you.
FEMA
Head for the hills because this is the end
Light a fire in a cave because we're going off the grid
When society folds will we eat each other?
We're all enemies.
We live in a prison, and fingers point at fingers pointing, how did we get where we got?
Oh god this is fucking bad.
How fast would our world fall apart with just the touch of a fucking button?
People eating people eating people
Oh god this is fucking bad.
Light a fire in a cave because we're going off the grid
When society folds will we eat each other?
We're all enemies.
We live in a prison, and fingers point at fingers pointing, how did we get where we got?
Oh god this is fucking bad.
How fast would our world fall apart with just the touch of a fucking button?
People eating people eating people
Oh god this is fucking bad.

Picture perfect romances plucked right from a fantasy land
If only things happened the way they should, if only things happened exactly how we thought they fucking would.
Id be a better man with a stronger back, who knew how to take shit without whispering about it to myself.
You all know what I'm thinking about.
Talking about replacing hate with self-confidence in moments of pure raw emotion
Pointing fingers instead of looking for a solution.
The problem has been me and I am not sure I'm capable of turning my mistakes into life lessons.
All I ever see...

Spider
Youre crawling round the walls of my skull
Like you're always fucking there.
Like a horrible spider creature
With knives for limbs and it hurts like hell.
Can you make your story as tangible as the web of lies its been based on.
In the light your bullshit draws no flies
But in the darkness the insects will eat anything thats not chained down.
What a ghastly thing to say.
What a disgusting thing to say
I just want the spiders to go away.
What a terrible thing to say.

I felt your hand and its crumbling
Its nine thirty five and its been quite a long week
Rising inside the furnace something is changing inside of me
Blackness is spreading like wildfire and it's completely consuming
The end of the world and i feel nothing at all
Let it break down the foundation of this wishing well
I tried for so long, ill die alone and thats just as well
Let someone else worry, let someone else worry, let someone else.

Let someone else worry, let someone else worry, let someone else.

Acts.
Wheres God in all this?
Does he lend a tear?
Theres no way he feels for us.
And is He awake here?
Is there a world beyond?
Well religion promises them shelter.
Never fear.
Hope and guilt go hand in hand
If you say youre sorry youll go to the promised land
Well thats not Heaven to me at all
Your belief is a cage that keeps you locked
Truth is youre afraid of dying without
Understanding.
Everybody shouting over everybody else
Trying to get recognized
Death is a concept that we cant accept.
Hope is an illusion...
