Dead
My body slowly becomes intertwined with the soil,
Feeding the worms , giving back to the earth.
I have never felt so free.

Delusional
I know in the deepest trench of my brain
This isn't real.
I know I shouldn't let this delusion run my mind
We are just
In seperate states
States of emotion
States of vaunerability
States of mental back and fourth
You clasp my heart
I hold yours
Keeping it in a lock box bubblewrapped double strapped
Soft to the touch
But hits me in the chest like freight train at full speed .
I don't want to live in reality
Diluted to delusions
This is where I want to stay .
This isn't real.
I know I shouldn't let this delusion run my mind
We are just
In seperate states
States of emotion
States of vaunerability
States of mental back and fourth
You clasp my heart
I hold yours
Keeping it in a lock box bubblewrapped double strapped
Soft to the touch
But hits me in the chest like freight train at full speed .
I don't want to live in reality
Diluted to delusions
This is where I want to stay .

Head aches
If you sit across from me
Hitting your head against the wall
Don't ask me for a pain killer
If I offer you a pain killer and you take it
Don't start banging your head against the wall again
If you start banging your head agaisnt the wall again I will assume that you are stupid and I will leave
Allow me to re word this
If you date men because you like bad boys don't complain to me when they are unfaithful
If I listen to you telling me that your done with him and you wish you could meet a guy like me then don't go...

Cluttered mind
We were inseparable
Two lost souls intertwined
Connected by a force greater than human understanding could ever comprehend
I lost the arguments before concerns were ever even raised
So
Our children would never have to witness the fights.
I think back on the house we never built,
The trips we never took,
The life we never got to live,
An old age we would never reach
All because none of this ever happened
I never took that first step to meet you
I never found the words to speak to start something with you
The words I was...
Two lost souls intertwined
Connected by a force greater than human understanding could ever comprehend
I lost the arguments before concerns were ever even raised
So
Our children would never have to witness the fights.
I think back on the house we never built,
The trips we never took,
The life we never got to live,
An old age we would never reach
All because none of this ever happened
I never took that first step to meet you
I never found the words to speak to start something with you
The words I was...

Art
Art
Let me explain
It's not about a series of words scribbled on a page.
Or
Paint splattered canvas , graphite sketch images
A series of sounds made by any variety of instruments.
Art is more than all that .
It is about expressing the emotions most people bury deep inside of their souls , the love the suffering , the joy and pain that scratches from the darkest reaches within you heart , cracking thru your rib bones and organs just to tell the world a little piece of the puzzle ,
That
Is
You
...

Broken Soldier
Re-emerging from the muddy booze soaked trenches
Into A haze of cigarette smoke and regret.
Drafted into this war by my own past fuck ups.I was fighting before the War , I was fighting against you , fighting for me but I thought it was for you .
Now I fight alone , I fight for love while the other soldiers fight for lust .
Soldier on Young man !
I'm raising the white flag , I lye down in content , I'm to old to keep fighting .
You win , I admit defeat
As A broken man would rather die than continue on and lose everything that makes...
Into A haze of cigarette smoke and regret.

The prison
Torn away from my docililty
Reverberations of strangers conversations make their way into my ears .
My attention is stolen from inconsiderate people
I have become a prisoner
Stripped from my own thoughts and deloused of my creativity
Waiting a trial that will never come
Looking thru the bars reminds me of the lines on my pages that make me thrive to write
There's no break out from all this
I can not get away
The lock is welded shut
Fuck I think I'm here to stay .
Reverberations of strangers conversations make their way into my ears .
My attention is stolen from inconsiderate people

There's no break out from all this

Twinkle in the eye
I can feel it ,
Gripping,
Tightening hands around my inner psychey,
Changing whatever was left of the child that resided within.
My refection once had a glimmer in its eye , a twinkle in its smile and an aura of something so beautiful words can never explain.
Obsessions carry me
Friends drop me
Solidarity smothers me
My pillow calls for me
A screen then keeps me awake
I've lost my child
Outgrown my dreams
Ive given up on what made me
Me .

Tap Drips
The mirror mockingly reflects back at me,
Reflecting my every imperfection.
Noticing another blemish for every time the tap drip resonates in my ear ,
Double chin
Dark circles
Scars on my face from the burns
Noes hair
Gapped teeth
Blood shot sclera
Like my eyes are lychees injected with red dye
I never believed I was ugly
Fire thumb experiments were left
I was never right
Alone in the world at 32, rejected by the superficial society I was unlucky enough to be born into ,
Outdated style
Personality means nothing ...
Reflecting my every imperfection.
Noticing another blemish for every time the tap drip resonates in my ear ,
Double chin
Dark circles
Scars on my face from the burns
Noes hair
Gapped teeth
Blood shot sclera
Like my eyes are lychees injected with red dye
I never believed I was ugly
Fire thumb experiments were left
I was never right
Alone in the world at 32, rejected by the superficial society I was unlucky enough to be born into ,
Outdated style
Personality means nothing ...

A Million Little Worlds
There are A millions little worlds
Flat Planets with glass panel Atmospheres
revolving around a Million individual people
they all shine brighter than the sun
every single one
looking to communicate with the other lonely planets
star gazing thru a screen
even though the stars roam by 3ft right from the scene

Shaddows in my Fall
I've been falling for since I can remember
Most people who drop from such heights would be flailing their arms and legs , screaming in fear
But I'm not afraid
I'm eerily calm
I don't even know what height this started
Now and then I see a branch to reach out to
Trying to catch some stability or slow down
Every time I feel I can get a grip
The branches slip
So I continue this decline down this seemingly dark abyss
I'm no longer afraid
I'm just waiting to reach the bottom
The anticipation is mocking me
But the solitude...

Senseless senses
Take away my eyes ;
There's no light inside of me.
Take away my hearing ;
My ear drums no longer resonate
Pluck each nerve from my body;
I thrive to feel something,
Please
Anything
other than me.
I've become so bitter as the years slowly catch up to the physical pain my body has endured over the years .
That God damn pain
The God damn years
The fucking art
This fucking lonliness
Atleast I am feeling something , even if it is regret and self pity .
