POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
Poetry keeps me semi-sane.
"Dogma!" I Exclaimed As I Criticized the Savior of His "Sacrifice" and Unnecassary Cruci-fiction
Like sheep to slaughter
Or a self-conscious martyr
I'm bathing in seething despair
And infallible disrepair
Everyday I grow jaded
Surrounded by what I abhor
Everyone's so petty and exasperated
They've killed the silence I adore
They wipe their ass with the hand that feeds
Then complain about their first world "needs"
They trade lives for pennies on the dollar
Fitting us with restricting collars
Maybe they're dead and they just don't know
They're already in Hell and this is just a show
Unaware, they live out their...

Guilt Tripping
I scream silently as you
Pry out my third eye
I'm unable to react or salvage
Any kind of comprehensible thought
Unable to speak out against your atrocities
Your lies may be widely accepted
But that doesn't make them the truth
You're just guilt tripping me to gain power
And tripping results in pain
I fear what makes my pain its power
That's why I don't go to church
Pry out my third eye
I'm unable to react or salvage
Any kind of comprehensible thought
Unable to speak out against your atrocities
Your lies may be widely accepted
But that doesn't make them the truth
You're just guilt tripping me to gain power
And tripping results in pain
I fear what makes my pain its power
That's why I don't go to church

Hypocrisy(the Social Norm)
No one deserves to be told they're worthless
Fuck anyone who thinks otherwise
The hypocrisy of the human race is a plague
And it needs to be eradicated
We can hide behind our "morals" no longer!
These roaches need to be exterminated
Or put in their place of shame
And made to taste the shit they put us through
Confrontation!
Confrontation is the answer!
The timid and weak get crushed
Face what makes you contemplate suicide
Stick your middle finger up in the air and yell
FUCK YOU!!
Do unto others as you would...

Coma
As she breathes, she lives
I sit here at her side
Waiting... just waiting...
For that crucial moment
Does the ever present breathing, the only thing signifying life, cease?
Sending me plummeting into insanity and despair
Or does a small movement catch my eye
A twitch
A flittering of muscles
Or even the Herculean task of opening an eye
An eye heavy with silence
If I could just hear your voice
Just a cough
A murmur
A sigh
A sign that you're still listening
Listening to my futile cries
I sit here at her side
Waiting... just waiting...

The Bell(Knell From Hell)
Crunch and grind, little gears
Bells chime and reverberate
Grating on my bones and organs
Why do they come to me to die?
Change of season
Back to back to back to bells
If I could see those bells bleed
Symbolizing nothing but implying personification
Relateability
Funeral bells or wedding bells
In minor keys, they clash against each other
Distinguishing features none
Same connotation
Brain turned to mush
Echoes inside a skull fractured
By the very hands that nurtured it
Incessant ringing of the bells
Urgent...

Pessimist by Nature
"Slipping back into the gap again.
I'm alive when you're touching me,
Alive when you're shoving me down."
-Pushit
Spiral down
Sink in
Pull away to
Become one again
Your sweet gravity holds me in orbit
Spinning round and coming back again
Tongue in cheek and cherry lips
Open up your heart to me
Pushing away, you kill me
Slipping in and out
Consciousness
Leaves as I try to
Live through my shadow
Pulse and churn and
Survive through your heartbeat
Course and rhythm ...
I'm alive when you're touching me,
Alive when you're shoving me down."

Kangaroo Court
Perjury encased in rusted barbed wire
Insult my intelligence you motherfucking liar
Court is adjourned, cutters at the ready
Hold your razor blades close and keep them steady
Abstract of conviction before a biased sentence
Too absorbed in your self proclaimed transcendence
Negate your faith, I'm your priest now
I command you sinners, spill blood as you did vow
Procreate, desecrate, recriminate, suffocate
Rivers of blood in aisles of abhoration
Self sacrifice to win the jury's admiration
Splatters of loathing spread on the walls...

How About Something A Little More Relevant
Repent! That's what I'm talking about
It's something we can do without
Retreat! Beat the deception
Join us in our sacrilegious reception
It's a madhouse carnival with open doors for the creeps
But only if they're ready to sow what they reap
Slithering up and down the isles
Nothing here but eery smiles
Empty eyes are cast upon the vulnerable
Because they seem to be the most profitable
Receiving the words we deafen them by
Pulling them in so slick and so sly
With promise of eternal...

Stupid Bitch
I almost lost it today
Rage building
Thoughts screaming
Bite my tongue
And clench my teeth
Self-control
Holding back acid
Meant for your fucking face
Stupid bitch
Holding hands with the devil

A Fragile Thing
Be it pain or
Pleasure
Each results in the muscle
Movement
Of dried eyes gazing back into pallid
Sockets
A shade of white comparable to
Eggshell
Cracked open to expose the negative
Space
Where the mind should have
Resided
Like a yolk inside a dark
Cavity
Shielded by flesh and
Bone
From the beatings of physical
Torment
But not from the radiation
Bathed in
During emotional
Turmoil
Pleasure
Each results in the muscle
Movement
Of dried eyes gazing back into pallid
Sockets
A shade of white comparable to
Eggshell
Cracked open to expose the negative
Space
Where the mind should have
Resided
Like a yolk inside a dark
Cavity
Shielded by flesh and
Bone
From the beatings of physical
Torment
But not from the radiation
Bathed in

I Wish/Helpless
I wish I could kiss your scars
And tell you the pain would go away
That time would heal your wounds
And you'd be happy again
But I'm no liar
I wish I could turn back time
Erase your poisonous memories
Take your place in line
And make your pain mine
But I'm helpless
It's useless to wish
But even more useless to dwell in the past
It may be easy for you to forget
What you've already forgave
But the thought of you in pain
Seems to stick in my mind
It makes me sick
And tell you the pain would go away
That time would heal your wounds
And you'd be happy again
But I'm no liar
I wish I could turn back time
Erase your poisonous memories
Take your place in line
And make your pain mine
But I'm helpless
It's useless to wish
But even more useless to dwell in the past
It may be easy for you to forget
What you've already forgave
But the thought of you in pain
Seems to stick in my mind
It makes me sick
