Poet Introduction
I am everything I do, everything I feel, and everything I see. I see pain and anger, desire and love. I see the good and the bad, I bring the light to darkness, the dark to light.

Hope You Know
10 at night and I’m thinking of you.
Thinking about our past,
Hoping for our future,
Hope you know, I love you.
Midnight now and I’m dreaming of you
Dreaming about your smile
And seeing your lovely eyes.
Hope you know, I love you.
6 am, and I woke up,
Smiling as I think of you,
Rolling back over, going to sleep
I hope you know I love you.
10 am, and now I’m awake
Remembering my dream
Looking forward to today
Hope you know I love...

Do I offend thee?
Does my belief offend thee?
That I wouldst trust my intuition?
That I have equal share
In my religion
As the men who believe as I do?
Does my look offend thee?
The sway of my hips
As I dance in joy
Of the sun and moon?
Does my life offend thee?
That I wouldst live
Not in fear,
Only in joy and pleasure?
Does my laughter offend thee?
That I do not bow my head
In solemn prayer?
That in my prayers
Are laughter and playful banter?
That my Gods do not demand sorrow from me?
Does my...

Ode to Death
Unappreciated
Forever more.
Unloved,
And yet so kind.
To remove us
From this pain
And send us where?
Nobody knows
But that is the great speculation.
You are greeted as an old friend
When you take an elderly man,
Scorned as a villain
When youth falls to you.
But would they prefer
The little girl live forever
Cancer paining her
Ever more?
They scorn you
For taking her away from pain
When they pray for an end to her suffering.
The hypocrites hate you
Because you cannot be conquered.
Because they are...
Forever more.
Unloved,

Woman: A collaboration with Niknshell
The allure of a woman
Reduced to minimalistic pieces..
Her breast..
Her hips..
Her Sway
This allure has driven a many of men to seek
Control, regulate, administrate, and govern
This collection of beings
So much power within each
The abilities that historians continue to grapple with..
The essence, creations, even devastation instilled within each one..
Yeah see Delilah, Nefrete, Quick Draw Annie, hell even Nicki Minaj
Attempts to control
Rights that by nature are not their's
A woman
Much more than the pieces defined..
Much more...

Crusader
You have this idea that I am less than you,
Less civilized, less important, less human.
You say all these things
As you ride into battle
Killing innocent children,
Men and women who have done nothing
Except live their lives.
You say I am less human
While I dress the livings’ wounds
I say a prayer for the dead
In a manner befitting their beliefs.
You claim that I am less civilized
As I wash the blood from their eyes
After you sliced them open.
You say I am less than you
When I am preserving their lives
And you are cutting them...
Less civilized, less important, less human.
You say all these things
As you ride into battle
Killing innocent children,
Men and women who have done nothing
Except live their lives.
You say I am less human
While I dress the livings’ wounds
I say a prayer for the dead
In a manner befitting their beliefs.
You claim that I am less civilized
As I wash the blood from their eyes
After you sliced them open.
You say I am less than you
When I am preserving their lives
And you are cutting them...

How Dare You
How dare you speak to me
About changing my life?
How do you conceive of this idea
That you can control me?
That you can tell me what I can
And cannot do with my body?!?
My tattoos are an eyesore?
My abortion is immoral?
That is not your decision to make!
Shall I tell you
“You must get a piercing!
I want to see some tattoos on that FIIINE ass!”
Why is it ok for you
And not for me?
I will not stand for this.
I will not bend to your will
Doing as you say
With what is rightfully mine.
It is my skin
My blood
My sex...

Alice
Push and pull
Bring me closer
And further
From death
And life.
I have neither.
No life can be happy
With the thought of an end
No death can enjoy
Any aspect of life.
I am the in between.
In a wonderland of my own creation
In a dream-like state
Where angels cut you down
Unmerciful
Demons bring you bandages
To dress their wounds
Time is irrelevant
Space is relative
Joy can kill
And pain keeps you alive.
There is no reality
Like mine.
There is no happiness
Like that...
Bring me closer
And further
From death
And life.
I have neither.
No life can be happy
With the thought of an end
No death can enjoy
Any aspect of life.
I am the in between.
In a wonderland of my own creation
In a dream-like state
Where angels cut you down
Unmerciful
Demons bring you bandages
To dress their wounds
Time is irrelevant
Space is relative
Joy can kill
And pain keeps you alive.
There is no reality
Like mine.
There is no happiness
Like that...

I am a Goddess
I do not wear your skinny jeans
Nor your tight tube tops
Or Hollister shirts.
I do not succumb
To your “perfection”
Your rules
Your life.
You may be frightened
To break the shell they put you in
But I will not be.
I will stand out
As me
And not a clone.
I will not hide from the light
Showing only what will not offend.
I will scream and cuss and fuck
As loud as I want.
And you will watch.
You will hear,
And you will feel.
Feel disgust,
Feel pain
Fear or anger
If you must,
But I see...
Nor your tight tube tops
Or Hollister shirts.
I do not succumb
To your “perfection”
Your rules
Your life.
You may be frightened
To break the shell they put you in
But I will not be.
I will stand out
As me
And not a clone.
I will not hide from the light
Showing only what will not offend.
I will scream and cuss and fuck
As loud as I want.
And you will watch.
You will hear,
And you will feel.
Feel disgust,
Feel pain
Fear or anger
If you must,
But I see...

Hypnotizing Me
I'm trying to breath
trying to live,
but you keep on
(hypnotizing)
Hypnotizing me.
The words you say
they all echo
you're hypnotizing me
(hypnotizing me).
Can't you see?
I can't breath!
Can't you see
(can't you see)?
Trying to be
trying to see
but you keep on
hypnotizing me
The witch in me
screams and curls
dying
dying
inside of me.
She cannot be
if you keep hypnotizing me.
Who I am
Who I will be
she's dying
as you hypnotize me.
I can't think...
trying to live,
but you keep on
(hypnotizing)
Hypnotizing me.
The words you say
they all echo
you're hypnotizing me
(hypnotizing me).
Can't you see?
I can't breath!
Can't you see
(can't you see)?
Trying to be
trying to see
but you keep on
hypnotizing me
The witch in me
screams and curls
dying
dying
inside of me.
She cannot be
if you keep hypnotizing me.
Who I am
Who I will be
she's dying
as you hypnotize me.
I can't think...

Painful memories
I cannot breath
for the pain.
The energy I spend
pretending I'm all right
is far more that ever before.
I just want to sleep.
To sleep and never wake.
Let me die.
Let me embrace
that simple sleep.
Let the pain leave me
and the joy dissipate.
Let me have
perfect nothingness.
With joy
comes sorrow.
With pleasure
comes pain.
It cannot be
any other way.
So let me die
and never feel again.
for the pain.
The energy I spend
pretending I'm all right
is far more that ever before.
I just want to sleep.
To sleep and never wake.
Let me die.
Let me embrace

Let the pain leave me

With joy

It cannot be

So let me die
