Refrained
I got this to say
You don’t know me anyway
I got this to say
What the fuck you trying to say
How many fingers you got
Not enough to make you stop
How many minds can bleed
Until you stop your fucking seed
Hello 911, She’s going to need help please
What is your emergency
The world, and what she believes
Excuse me?
I want to leave and go away
Are you being detained in any way
She has locked me in chain, making me stay
I’ll send help. Just don’t go away.
I say she should leave...
You don’t know me anyway
I got this to say
What the fuck you trying to say
How many fingers you got
Not enough to make you stop
How many minds can bleed
Until you stop your fucking seed
Hello 911, She’s going to need help please
What is your emergency
The world, and what she believes
Excuse me?
I want to leave and go away
Are you being detained in any way
She has locked me in chain, making me stay
I’ll send help. Just don’t go away.
I say she should leave...

The abc's of this life aka bullshit
All boys cry
Doesn’t everyone
Fucking good
Heartbreak I
Just know
Lamenting might
Need others
Perspectives
Query reason
Senseless thoughts
Understanding
Very welcoming
X-rated your
Zeitgeist

stream of one
I left my body
Before my body left me
Another simple token
Of my complacency
No jokes written
No lines rehearsed
Just another simpleton
Playing with a curse
Filled up my pockets
With utter disdain
Writing about how
Y’all drive me insane
No practice given
No time to rehearse
Just another simpleton
Playing with a curse
Before my body left me
Another simple token
Of my complacency
No jokes written
No lines rehearsed
Just another simpleton
Playing with a curse
Filled up my pockets
With utter disdain
Writing about how
Y’all drive me insane
No practice given
No time to rehearse
Just another simpleton
Playing with a curse

DARK POEM

26th Nov 2024 2:39am
He had the last laugh
Bradley lived more life
In a swift twenty-seven years
Than we could ever dream
In our mortified tears
We got nothing
By comparison
Just another simplified simpleton
Fuck-stain rebellion
Bradley lived more life
In that rough quarter-century
Than we could ever have
As a fucked up vile visionary
We got nothing
We got nothing
Just another simpleton
Fuck-stain rebellion
He flipped us the finger
while he said Good-bye
In a swift twenty-seven years
Than we could ever dream
In our mortified tears
We got nothing
By comparison
Just another simplified simpleton
Fuck-stain rebellion
Bradley lived more life
In that rough quarter-century
Than we could ever have
As a fucked up vile visionary
We got nothing
We got nothing
Just another simpleton
Fuck-stain rebellion
He flipped us the finger
while he said Good-bye

The Zero
Sacajawea
You loved me
I felt nothing
All the same
Got a goddamn
Empty pile
of nothing
I respect the heroes
Who added up
To zeros
Yet they got
More to say
Than your
Worst enemy
In spite of me
You loved me
I felt nothing
All the same
But goddamn
I am
An empty pile
Of nothing
I feel respect
Yet frustration
For the heroes
Whom they called
Zeroes
My ultimate heroes
All the same
Nothing.
You loved me

the Tao
Horton got it right
We are a mere speck
Of a speck
Of a speck, et cetera
We can’t begin to fathom
Why we can’t fathom
What we can’t fathom
A million miles up there
Does not even begin
To touch the surface
Of the surface
The sun and the moon
Barely (in)significant
In its course
No comparison, immeasurable
There are no boundary lines
It does not break nor bend
There is no pre-emptive design
There is no end
You have no answers
There is no end
We are a mere speck
Of a speck
Of a speck, et cetera
We can’t begin to fathom
Why we can’t fathom
What we can’t fathom
A million miles up there
Does not even begin
To touch the surface
Of the surface
The sun and the moon
Barely (in)significant
In its course
No comparison, immeasurable
There are no boundary lines
It does not break nor bend
There is no pre-emptive design
There is no end
You have no answers
There is no end

Goodbye
Problem is, I forgot how to sit still. Even when the tide is low and the wind subsides, I feel the need to consume…be it content, canna, alcohol, drama. Or just take the simple solution.
Can’t rest anymore. Can’t sleep without pills. Can’t function without amphetamines. Can’t learn without guidance. Can’t be comfortable in my own skin. Not comfortable with this mind.
I trust no one. Especially not myself.
Goodbye.

Oh, I’m gonna pay for it tomorrow
No question

It’s here, my pain
I’m gonna pay for it

A Friendly Euphoria
I dream about this world in my mind where you all love me and I love you as well.
We don’t judge, we don’t discriminate. We just live and we love all the same.
A beautiful place. No monsters, exorcised all demons. Stood in our place.
We love, don’t begrudge. We just live. We just live. And love all the same.
We don’t judge, we don’t discriminate. We just live and we love all the same.
A beautiful place. No monsters, exorcised all demons. Stood in our place.
We love, don’t begrudge. We just live. We just live. And love all the same.

Liquefy my mind
I got nothing else to give
Heathen of mischief

Imposter
Fear of being a fraud
Always been my fallout
How can I move forward
If I fear being found out
I tried in this life
But did I really?
Whether or not so
Imposter syndrome killed me
I wish for a better excuse
But no, just that
The feeling of not truly good enough
Keeps me on my lap
Move onward
No, downward
Self-induced penalties too great
Leaves nothing but a coward
Always been my fallout
How can I move forward
If I fear being found out
I tried in this life
But did I really?
Whether or not so
Imposter syndrome killed me
I wish for a better excuse
But no, just that
The feeling of not truly good enough
Keeps me on my lap
Move onward
No, downward
Self-induced penalties too great
Leaves nothing but a coward

Dinner for Wolves
What do you say
When the eyes staring back at you
Simply say
‘I want to die’
How to be the hero
When everyone else in those eyes
Eventually lied
And left you to die alone
fed you to the wolves
kept leading you on
How do you hold
Your own composure
When they say
‘I’m ready to throw it all away’
How to be the hero
When everyone else in those eyes
Sooner or later lied
And left you to die
alone
fed to the wolves
kept leading them on
What...
When the eyes staring back at you
Simply say
‘I want to die’
How to be the hero
When everyone else in those eyes
Eventually lied
And left you to die alone
fed you to the wolves
kept leading you on
How do you hold
Your own composure
When they say
‘I’m ready to throw it all away’
How to be the hero
When everyone else in those eyes
Sooner or later lied
And left you to die
alone
fed to the wolves
kept leading them on
What...
