POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
I Do(n't)
Do I miss you?
Do I miss everything?
Do I miss your body?
Do I miss your smell?
Do I miss your hair?
Do I miss your skin?
Do I miss your eyes?
Do I miss anything?
Do I miss your voice?
Do I miss your touch?
Do I miss your laugh?
Do I miss anybody?
Do I miss your words?
Do I miss your actions?
Do I miss your life?
Do I miss you?
Am I becoming a hopeless romantic or a bad friend?
I lie to myself so much that I confuse myself.
I feel no absence
and no loss
and no death.
But I feel like...
Do I miss everything?

Do I miss your laugh?
Do I miss anybody?
Do I miss your words?
Do I miss your actions?
Do I miss your life?
Do I miss you?

I feel no absence
and no loss
and no death.
But I feel like...

Brain Fog
The final crimson voice
Lost perpetual poise
Empty years of faith
Social-emotional chaste
Leaving behind the lies
Growing beyond the skies
Can I pretend to be healthy
Enjoyment for the mentally wealthy
Flying through the ground
Falling into the sound
Escape internal monologue
Brain constantly fogged
My hands continue to shake
Don’t worry, I’m finally awake
I feel I’m planting poppies
Or is it internal brutalities
Flying through the ground
Falling into the sound
Escape internal monologue...

Falling
I’m having many intrusive thoughts
My train is making virtual stops
I’m afraid to speak my mind
When it’s lying down a fine-line
Lots of words I cannot say
Frightens me that’ll lead me astray
Scared of my own brain and feelings
Emotional manipulation under concrete ceilings
Falling, just falling
Until I’m buried alive
Bathing, just bathing
Until I’m burned alive
I should be reduced, remade until
I learn to escape my mind, your will
Forgetting my past as sacrilege
Feeling my memories hemorrhage
...

Eyes
My brain is fading fast
My light is flying past
Ignoring my train of thought
Intrusive ideas barking naught
Pretend it's okay
Accept you're alright
There is more in second sight
Forget it's a play
Remember your hate
Mentality pain forgotten by fate
The rain is pouring down
The sight is tattered gown
Intrinsic lessons falsely bought
Internal reasoning never taught
What's left to say
I'm sitting inside
I've far-and-away given up, I lied
I'm falling away
With spiritual signs
I never...

Stain of Sin
Sultry mental forgiveness
Ignorance masked as illness
None actually care about
Sights of affection doubt
Let me go - I want more
Let me go - I need more
Let me got - End my needs
Let me go - Stop my brain
Tortured artist stops alive
End my pain to give me drive
Forget to leave yourself behind
What shall end my hope to find
Let it end - End it for
Let it end - Stop it all
Let it end - I want none
Let it end - Stop it all
Please, end my pain
Crave to leave no stain
I've no one to...

Sorcery
I am intimidated by the world of nothing
While I seek to find a truth of trusting
The edge of a universe so tightly fit
Infinite space with finite places to sit
I work to keep my mind occupied
No purpose found with those who lied
I cannot think about the facts
When my own imagination attacks
Stellar curvature wraps my mind
Allowing itself to be a blind
A book of lies and facts indistinguishable
A song of tortures unimaginable
Can I feel your pain? Am I looking main?
Will I fall away? Pass upon the day ...

Static Movement
My soul is a blank page
staring back at me
My fears are not assuaged
by my frivolity
Peel all my skin back
to reveal my bloody core
Tear apart my muscles lack
a reveled, old, windowed door
My spirits feel high aloft
My mind continues to be lost
Listen to my heartful echoes
Please inflate my heartfelt bellows
I tentatively shield myself
from possible lies of joy
I place my heart upon the shelf
away from prying-eyed alloy
Dye my hands red
Bury my soul in lead
Pass...

Rains
Sunken stone sun; waiting impatient
I've supposedly won; fading lenient
I can't stay home; I don't feel safe
My mind alone; falling base
I should be happy; but I hate it all
Basic entropy; exasperated crawl
Tear-splitting pain; lying to leave
Personality maim; my joy bereave
When can I go away
I won't come back another day
Feeling lost, sliding astray
Long-term cost of mental decay
Cracking teeth; fractured eyes
Lying least; maturity flies
Falling fast; dying quick
Forgetting past; ties that stick
...

Guilty
I never felt welcomed back
Everything seemed to attack
I had to leave to save me
But I still feel guilty
I never learned to fly for my size
There was nothing to be done to prize
Nothing changed from my fall
I wonder if I regret it all
I never know how I feel
I spent my time ending seal
I thought I was a second son
But the love was already done
Everything seemed to attack
I had to leave to save me
But I still feel guilty
I never learned to fly for my size
There was nothing to be done to prize
Nothing changed from my fall
I wonder if I regret it all
I never know how I feel
I spent my time ending seal
I thought I was a second son
But the love was already done

Bankrupt
Standing with the power over
As if irritation would emote to cover
I cannot hold myself above
I feel my stomach sink in love
I hate that I can't save anything
My heart beats in terminal spring
Leave myself behind my mind
I never know what you'll find
I'm falling out of work
My mind is hurting torque
I don't want to force my hand
But I don't know if I can
I feel blind in my mind forever
Eyes of black hide to tether
Passing fate and life unjust
Nothing I write clears the lust
I'm falling further into...

Copelessness
What am I doing? Why am I tired?
What am I thinking? Am I a liar?
Will I die soon? Why do I hope?
Listen for the wind; Can I still cope
Stop, there's nothing going on
Stop, my ride is falling bound
Stop, my train has left, it's gone
Stop, I'm getting closer to the ground
I'm falling far - I've too much to think
Am I myself? I'm on the brink
Well, I can hope - I've nothing left
Answer the breeze - I'm only bereft
I'm searching for something
I can raise to climb a kind
I'll wave it down after all
Maybe...

Heights
I need to continue writing
If I stop, I'll falter sighting
My mind races, never calming
Caffeine soars, skin balming
Free me from my pattern of-
Obsessive seeking lies above
Hiding behind words of-
Lectern breaking falling shove
More and more and more I'll bend
Snap my heart, I'll forget to fend
In my soul I can fly away
In my dreams, my soul will stay
Stay away - Don't mind me
Stay alive - Just leave me
Stay around - I'm so afraid
Stay alight - I'll stay behind
If I stop, I'll falter sighting
My mind races, never calming
Caffeine soars, skin balming
Free me from my pattern of-
Obsessive seeking lies above
Hiding behind words of-
Lectern breaking falling shove
More and more and more I'll bend
Snap my heart, I'll forget to fend
In my soul I can fly away
In my dreams, my soul will stay
Stay away - Don't mind me
Stay alive - Just leave me
Stay around - I'm so afraid
Stay alight - I'll stay behind
