Poet Introduction
I want my words to shatter your former life I want my words to open your saddened eyes
Impression
I'm a nice person
when you meet me in person,
because this is the version
I want you to see.
But I'm content;
this version of me,
is what i want you to see,
in case you never see me again.
when you meet me in person,
because this is the version
I want you to see.
But I'm content;
this version of me,
is what i want you to see,
in case you never see me again.

"Biologized"
Come together,
kill the flaws,
make us better.
Change the laws,
cut the tethers,
embrace the cause,
kill the lesser.
Stop the presses!
dead the hype,
talk is cheap
like the price of life.
Make the world
a better place,
most of us
just take up space.
Feelings gone,
for no reason,
everything I touch is freezing.
Frozen heart,
an absent soul,
I want the cold
to chase the demons.
It's cold as hell
For your health
Love your neighbor
Kill yourself.
WORK
WILL

He died in July
Im just now thinking of you
i know it wasn't much,
but I'm hoping you didn't lose.
you lost your head
you couldn't stop
now that you're dead
i wonder if you're gone
i still see your face sometimes
i have to repeat the same line.
this one time i almost talked to another you
it was so much like you i didn't know what to do
i wonder if you care that much
i wonder if this was all her touch.
Please tell me you're home
Please tell me you're not alone in the alone
i wanna die and come back as lightning
i want you to be my thunder...
i know it wasn't much,
but I'm hoping you didn't lose.

DIEMOS AND PHOBOS
we touch the fringes of earth,
the pinnacle of the senses is violence.
sometimes i feel,
sometimes i fell nothing,
either way it's time,
my nervous system is terrified.
hoping for a break that's not in my neck
hoping for a heart without a beating
tasting something new, i remember salt,
and lightning strikes a world with no eyelids!
there is no defense
against the heaviness
"the consuming fire Himself"
a burning planet,
it's all i wish for,
when are you coming back for me??
the sky tore...

The consequences of love at second sight
Drenched in gold
She strolled
Clenched my fist
And broke my wrist
A wisp like wasps
Swung in my thoughts
I loudly wondered
From where she wandered
Ponder as I might
How she brightened night
She shocked me
When she stopped me
with toxic delight.
Probably accidental
Is what I kept mental
Incidental; why question?
and this remained my contention
But when this ended i knew,
It was absolutely intended.
And to pieces I flew
The way teeth chew
I told her how
To cut me down,
Now...

Daydream
So used to the weather the cold just brushes over, both of my shoulders
I wonder what you got up in that holster...
A brand new nightmare every time I sleep,
I wish I could find a way to sell these...
not much of writer as you can see,
I can only describe her in my dreams.
Workin' overtime just to keep you guessing,
relax,
I'll be there soon, just you enjoy yourself,
I'm your falling sky, your dripping moon.
Enjoy my experiment while I'm gone,
that merciless fix; the puppet master of this circus.
A low cut neck and sleeves full of...

Everything has gotten easier, and so much worse,
the ground doesn't get closer if you don't look down,
the problems don't go away.
I learned to shut off, my hands shake with regret,
lessons in agony; you don't just forget.
you don't play with matches cause you have to.
you don't run with scissors because you have to.
It's in my nature,
it's in her nature,
breathing for the air,
eating for the flavor.
do me a favor, don't do me any favors.
I don't want to know you, I'm not someone you can go to,
I gave you...

I felt like it
I feel like I'm ugly on a stage.
I feel like sleeping.
I feel like wasting hours I'll never get back on myself.
I feel that I feed off of other peoples emotions and only once have I ever had my own.
I feel like a spirit leech.
I feel like I drink peoples souls.
I feel like a starving attention junkie.
I feel like I'm too far behind.
I feel like I'm too afraid to learn.
I feel like things won't change until I give up trying to always get what I want.
I feel like a sick child.
I feel like I need someone else.
I feel wrong.

Thyatira
My heart wants love on a summer night,
lightnings splashing the sky.
An ax and some roots is how deep my wish goes
but the rest is nailed to walls.
They pinned my hands and feet,
their mouths gaped and they cast lots for my second skin.
Make me warm for no reason,
dope sick of love
cured by hope.
The future was bright then thunder rolled,
now all things are back to the same.
Aggravated love songs, warm with anger,
make me the man I am at night.
Teeth cut skin, leather bound, reading like its casual.
Hoping I don't somehow...

the way i hear them speak
I hate a god I don't believe in,
it's all I talk about.
I don't care, I said it out loud
Can't you see my achievement?
Denial,
it's just that river of bile.
Expose the lovers reviled.
take your last breath in style.
No basis, no rules,
No ears, for fools,
No bones, no spine,
it's getting better all the time.
I hate god cause he doesn't exist
I'd hate him even if he did
I hate you and your sentiment
Fairy tales I wish I could live.
it's all I talk about.

a race of rats
Circles.
She's still in my head, like patient wolves.
I still don't want her back, I want her front, I want her heart.
I want her to go away; but when she came she came to stay.
I never left a trail, not a trace of an opportunity.
My head against a wall, steadily beating
She's not alive but I can hear her breathing.
She is a flu that I can't shake.
She picks her teeth with a sliver stake.
I'm running from her;
this is my race.
I got a goal I know I'll never make.
I find it difficult to pray these days,
I wonder if the...
