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...

sadness, for you tinder being
i gotta say
this is one of the most eventful events
i have had, despite the empty hand
of inanimate propaganda, i have
nothing but empty hands
so just make fun of me
lackluster, no effort
so be it, I'm gone
and forgotten
so fuck all
i will fall
you are
stone-
walled
i'm nothing
goodbye

Blah
We had our fun
We had good times
Something, I suppose
To call a good life
Together we climbed mountains
And strolled along the shore
Living and loving fully
Until it was no more
We had good times
Something, I suppose
To call a good life
Together we climbed mountains
And strolled along the shore
Living and loving fully
Until it was no more

Don't f**k with a GOD
Oh, behold
You almighty gatekeepers
Of the DEEP POETRY
Untouchable
Infallible you
NO questioning
Toss all others
To the side
This is YOUR space
The rest of us
Can shut our mouths
To save FACE
SLAVES to your grace
You almighty gatekeepers
Of the DEEP POETRY
Untouchable
Infallible you
NO questioning
Toss all others
To the side
This is YOUR space
The rest of us
Can shut our mouths
To save FACE
SLAVES to your grace

Another Day
Waking to the city’s cold embrace
Concrete boots, heart’s misplaced
City lights, mood’s a haze
Echoes of sirens, a bad day’s craze
Coffee’s my fix, frosty veins
Steel canyons, icy reins
Luck’s lost in alleyways
Howlin’ wind, urban disarray
Detective eyes, steel and gray
Neon signs, flicker and sway
Ghost town echoes, shadows play
Lone wolf’s howl, city decay
Guitar strummin’, subway hum
Ghost in the crowd, widow’s drum
Briefcase loaded, devil in disguise ...
Concrete boots, heart’s misplaced
City lights, mood’s a haze
Echoes of sirens, a bad day’s craze
Coffee’s my fix, frosty veins
Steel canyons, icy reins
Luck’s lost in alleyways
Howlin’ wind, urban disarray
Detective eyes, steel and gray
Neon signs, flicker and sway
Ghost town echoes, shadows play
Lone wolf’s howl, city decay
Guitar strummin’, subway hum
Ghost in the crowd, widow’s drum
Briefcase loaded, devil in disguise ...

Lost (+bruises)
Some of them live
half-heartedly
No direction
Other than
Misconception
Enough to
misguide and confuse
A sucker for annihilation
Keep taking the abuse
Some of them live
with broken souls
If only
They would know
It’s a culmination
Of blackened bruises
Relentless contusions
Leaving you confused
in desolation
half-heartedly
No direction
Other than
Misconception
Enough to
misguide and confuse
A sucker for annihilation
Keep taking the abuse
Some of them live
with broken souls
If only
They would know
It’s a culmination
Of blackened bruises
Relentless contusions
Leaving you confused
in desolation

Life
Only here so long
Stand your ground
While we right our wrongs
Eternally
Feed the demon
No more
Only here
For a couple more
So open your soul
Open your mind
What remains here
A thing called life
Only here
For a couple more
Let us live this moment
Before that wretched shore
Stand your ground
While we right our wrongs
Eternally
Feed the demon
No more
Only here
For a couple more
So open your soul
Open your mind
What remains here
A thing called life
Only here
For a couple more
Let us live this moment
Before that wretched shore

Lovely Mistake (in that life can swallow you whole before you see anything coming but next thing is they got you)
this stupid little life
in this
stupid little house
in this
empty soulless city
means (absolutely)
everything
to me
in this
stupid little house
in this
empty soulless city
means (absolutely)
everything

Liquid Medicine, My Fuel
Goddamn
I am fun
Rid of inhibitions
While staring at the sun
Each sip
Cleanses the inside
fills me
Full of fearless pride
Here lies
The true one
The ultimate being
Lover of life’s questions
Oh god
No god
Must’a been hallucinating,
From the green fairy
I was drinking
I am fun
Rid of inhibitions
While staring at the sun
Each sip
Cleanses the inside
fills me
Full of fearless pride
Here lies
The true one
The ultimate being
Lover of life’s questions
Oh god
No god
Must’a been hallucinating,
From the green fairy
I was drinking

A Jester's Restraint
Just letting you know I
Got fucked up and
Smoked all the weed
Choked all the cigarettes
But I did not
Absolutely
Did NOT
Go back to the liquor store
Did not indulge in
Her ultimate grandeur
I stayed put inside
Got a little more high
Then the screen
Reflected back at me
And I laughed out loud
Got fucked up and
Smoked all the weed
Choked all the cigarettes
But I did not
Absolutely
Did NOT
Go back to the liquor store
Did not indulge in
Her ultimate grandeur
I stayed put inside
Got a little more high
Then the screen
Reflected back at me
And I laughed out loud
