Poet Introduction
I discovered poetry as an outlet for my inner battles with mental illness and emotional struggles.

Animosity of a Loving Heart
On my conscience a black stain
It never came to thought
An evil of the world that had to be taught
But why did I learn it from you?
Too blissed out to search for signs of deceit
While thorns of the underbrush pierce my heel
A forest of doubt is no good for walking
But the wolves have chewed up my feet
So now I can’t walk nor complain
I recall how it started
And am certain it will not end
But the middle still stabs at my guilt
How could you do this to my friend?
It’s cruel to know I can never avenge it
Because to...

Loving Dread
Love makes me glad and yet drives me mad, passion lost to heaven, heart cased in ironclad. Trembling with dread as I fear you for dead, lucidity seems beyond me.
The moving finger writes, though it shivers in trite, for I sharpen my tongue with all of my might. I know what I want and I know what to do, but for the sake of us both, fright overcomes me at needing to protect you.
My ways may be calculated, they may be civilized, but that makes them no less crueler than they'd be otherwise. To win without fighting, that is how I wage battle, mind over arms and rage into...

If there is a God
If there is a God somewhere, I must beg him for resilience
The power to endure my anger's dissilience
A rage once long forgotten
The kind that turns you rotten
It churns within the bowels of my soul
An all consuming fire, out of my control
You'd best say your prayers
And beware soothsayers
For no one envies the end of your path
If there is a God somewhere, you should grovel and beg for mercy
Mercy after your death, for you will get none from me
The fate that you enforced
Will only be endorsed
By the...

Serpent of Chaos
Chaos coiling, gripping, squeezing
Deadly venom always dripping
The serpent's sunk his fangs in me
Entangled forever, never free
Serpentine seduction
Controlling every function
Dark fantasies will bring about my end
Slave to my infatuation
Deadly venom always dripping
The serpent's sunk his fangs in me
Entangled forever, never free
Serpentine seduction
Controlling every function
Dark fantasies will bring about my end
Slave to my infatuation

Sickness
God please banish this infernal illness! I’m tired of pushing it back! It disappears for a moment only to return and drown me in my own delusions!
It continuously fails to suppress me, but its persistence is wearing me down. Its anchors sink into me, slowing my progress, and fighting it proves to be worthless!
Torment me no longer! You're but a mere nuisance! I will not be slain by my mind's sickness!
Doctor help me cure my illness! I’m tired of facing it alone! It fades into nothing but once I think I have won it comes back to add to my suffering!
Yet...

Enough is Enough!
Enough is enough! No more of your ignorance! So many have suffered due to your incompetence! You hide behind your titles, blind to our struggles, projecting yourself as someone of importance!
It’s just pretentious, your rules and systems appear sententious, yet when conflict arises you become abstemious!
Enough is enough! It’s simply two-faced! You tell us to speak up, yet dismiss us with haste! You even pretend our concerns are misplaced! Then when tragedy strikes you blame us for the disgrace!
Even now you repeat your mistake! Many cry out in mourning...

Miswired
I can still feel it growing
In the back of my head, festering
It hides behind the fortress walls, my defenses are quickly tiring
The beast gnaws at me, constantly devouring
Taking full advantage of this dangerous miswiring
There's a monster deep inside but I won't let it get the best of me
So tell me, trusted scholar, what do you make of my insanity?
Mind is degenerating
Walls eaten away, malfunctioning
The demon hungers for my soul, humanity will soon begin fading
The shadow expands, my brain is still struggling
Trying to fight back...

Our Bittersweet Rose
Our rose is wilting from the lack of affection
Yet the thorn does not cease its venomous injection
The seed you planted in me without knowing
I never thought it would have such a tearful ending
I miss you so badly it feels like my heart could burst
As long as it's still able to beat
Was it just bad luck or am I cursed
Either way this love is still bittersweet
Our rose is wilting from the lack of your smile
It seems that we're distanced by more than miles
The happiness you brought me without knowing
I never thought it would have to start...

Faces of Impending Doom
I wear three different faces that all look the same
But I won't ignore it I only have myself to blame
My madness is only there
Because I refuse to be aware
That my foolishness is what led to my suffering
The first face is merely meant to obscure what's inside
The second is apathetic and leaves all hope denied
The third is like a curse
That only makes matters worse
For it dispels everyone's pity
And gives me a frightening image of insanity
But do not be mistaken
My true face has been forsaken
I have lost...
But I won't ignore it I only have myself to blame

Blood Written Promises
Red stains yet another page
As my insides contort from rage
How many words must I write?
To make you understand my feelings of trite
Written in boiling blood
The words overwhelm the parchment like a flood
You will regret all that you’ve done
That is my blood written promise
My anger has reached its peak
Now I pierce through your resistance where it’s weak
You’re breaking down from the fear
My revenge is finally near
Written in boiling blood
The words overwhelm the parchment like a flood
You will regret all...

How many words must I write?

Corrupted Luxuries
The tearing beast within my insides
Beneath my burning skin it hides
My blood is boiling from the heat of its rage
As it thrashes about in its cage
My mind is plagued by many a murderous thought
Causing my sanity to rot
How many times will I suffer
Before possession fully takes over
Do not wake me from this slumber
For only in sleep can I feel the darker pleasure
A pleasure of the corrupted lucidity
Which can only be found in the depths of insanity
The luxuries of corruption obtained through irrationality
Crimson...

Impossible Insanity
My despairing soul yearns for the bittersweet taste of retaliation
This craving can only be fulfilled through merciless predation
My mortal mind can't help but give in to this fatal temptation
Even if it could lead to my eternal damnation
I must feed my dark desire lest my heart die of starvation
The darkness has breached my mind
The shadows cloud my sight
No longer can I find
The difference between wrong and right
It is impossible to regain lucidity
In this state of overwhelming insanity
The fires of fury wage war against my remaining...
