fill in the boxes with pen or pencil to mark your answers
over the last two weeks how often can you count your pain

we add it all up at the end and decide if you are needy or insane
little interest or pleasure in doing things number one
or are you feeling far too down, depressed and hopeless to tick a box
insomniac, walking asleep half of all days, some times non
ticking energy levels like a 16 bit hero 0 1 2 3 cheat unlocks
nearly every day a poor appetite...

words from the alone
I read the book beautiful you.
Feeling ugly when I creased the spine.
I hide my lonely
drinking, my view slightly askew,
affectations, this behaviour, everything is fine
Now reading requiem for a dream (s)
alone, need a backhanded smack.
I provide my lonely
moments, Schizo, terrible double teams
the outside and inside on constant attack
Reading trainspotting kindle style.
Reinforces this destructive affliction,
an experience kinda lonely.
Old enough to know better, drug paedophile,
entertaining a childish drug...

spiral of leaves
Spiral speech fragments into quicksilver ashes
Concentric circles transmit monochrome gashes
Bleeding like mercury upon a pristine pane
Black serpents twisting tapping up a fresh vein
Finger-painting etching cryptographic schema
Swirls smeared in black faeces fucking dreamer
Nightmare daubed nails worried to the quick
Skin map crawling poisoned by a single prick
Fading arcs, aborted dark angel vapour trails
Scratched away, chalk and charcoal, broken nails
Ink haemorrhage surrenders under new directions
Myriad toxic paradigms...

I grew dreadlocks and use shampoo residue free
But I still watch youtube videos on my massive tv
I hate it when folk drop litter but recycle my plastic
Yet still buy cds like a good little consumer spastic (inappropriate!)
I believe in freedom of speech and love words
But like this generation bat some away like toxic turds (nigger!)
I pursue an existence of peace and love no doubt
But if I get pissed off enough I will knock you out
I aint a massive fan of animal cruelty

The ever changing myriad scenarios unrelenting
As i constantly change form and try to adapt
Like some half arsed natural selection re-inventing
As i try to get on yet feel i'm constantly lapped
“where do you want to be in five years” burned out
If i knew then the things that i know now
Did not take into consideration trauma, deception and doubt
While other derivative cliché concepts knit my brow
Lost so many cruel self indulgent fuckers along the way
In equal amounts lost folk loved yet visited betrayal
A foolish...

She sent a request to add me on facebook
She sent me a profile of the child she had created
Used a fake name coloured her hair presented a different look
A child created with an ex best friend this connection she initiated
Six years since our last conversation
Now that I am pursuing dreams conveniently connects
Hesitant neurons misfiring along branches of painful manipulation
Obfuscates the elaborate utopian memories that were caustic disrespect
Stood inside your love for a time
My heart a malleable clay between your fingers

Here at your fingertips you can be involved
Your keystrokes can reawaken all your connections
From the people you miss to the memories dissolved
All the kind words, kisses, violence and rejections
Here at your fingertips you can take part
Typing sentimental syntax you can engage
While the shadows fleeting from the past depart
Will only focus your incandescent rage
Fingertips so delicate burning with intention
A malleable matrix that shifts the lines
Forgotten carbon copy of hate that is no invention
Destroy it all then hide in...

REDACTER OF THE FACTER
The story you tell never ends
The story you impart to old friends
That mask of mental health imparting
A desperate need for all those people departing
A narrative about your state
A narrative confusing to relate
The mask shatters left so exposed
Left deserted while your world corrodes
These fairy tails no one believes
These fairy tails overused and deceives
The mask a shield against apathetic reality
Only fellow readers understand this cruel misery
Syntax prevails its just all fine ...

Hole punch amen breaks drill beneath the skin
Innocent eyes stitched up to trap the ugliness within
Nails are hammered hastily into a repressed shaped box
Whats buried deep reanimates, zombie unconscious unlocks
So when the box breaks the baby will fall
Exposing the shattered vulnerability for all
Thats dismissed, set adrift alone, upon a frozen sea
Polluted monochrome icebergs, majestic indifferent company
Descending under relentless waves, silently submerges
Before baby is betrayed by more sinister zombie urges
Repressed again in...

Dissonant feedback a squirming cognitive loop
Observing and encoding our assimilation into this group
Perhaps driven by double helix predetermined templates
Maybe the journey to self-actualisation, each new stage initiates
Engage in a self fulfilling prophesy
Emulating gods like sly Greek mythology
Where majority influence corrupts your perception
Tempering expectations anticipating their rejection
Cocaine fed, total war within the psyche
Triumvirate of an id, ego, superego conspiracy
Kill your father and then maybe fuck your...

dreadFUL mosaiK
Sporting ancient Celtic roots my dreadlocks
While this contemporary society easily mocks
Those snake headed pagans who respected all life
Before corrupted organised religion caused all caustic strife
That echoes down millennia in snake handed heresy
Islam and Christianity flip sides of the same currency
Perversion of love turned into an insipid, convenient hate
That far too easily ends in up bad penny flip sides of debate
The spirit of the land we feed and destroy
Is healed and corrupted by the ideas we employ
Shed propagated...

Gun to the head anticipating bullet to the mind
Bending over backwards fucked from behind
Feel each waking day I'm covered in rubber skin
World outside is pounding I slowly suffocate within
Unrelenting toxins circulate hypo-dermal invaded
Beautiful poison absorbed how its elegantly paraded
Synapses igniting while stars are shooting passing by
Conflagrations in my mind and in the distant sky
Gun in mouth could almost kiss the firing pin
That stabs the conscience before I inevitably give in
Exploding in a shower of seemingly...
