….yeah?
Madison
yeah?
You can’t
i know
Don’t break down
Just keep going
Only 1 more hour
Of keeping it up
Then you can break
I promise
You can get under
Your sink cabinet
And listen to comfort music
You can hide
And cry
okay

In Exile
I know things got off on the wrong foot right from the start
At the time when I was young I just fell apart
Even after all the years of me trying to do what was right
Lately it just feels like your silence is out of spite
With every visit I loved our conversations and laughs
The quality time was more precious and unforgettable
And as you got older you became stronger and bolder
So I wrote you verses to make our relationship memorable
But something strange happened within the last few years
You’re so distant and quiet and won’t talk to...

Restless
Unending static
The sound of a restless mind
Shuffling in its bed
Blankets kicked to the floor
It wails and screams
Scratching deep red lines into its legs
All its wants is to sleep
To embrace a comforting darkness
Hitting its head against the wall
Begging for unconsciousness
To drown its own voice
To forget its cries
A worried little creature with absolutely nothing to worry about
Unending static
The sound of a restless child
The sound of a restless mind
Shuffling in its bed
Blankets kicked to the floor
It wails and screams
Scratching deep red lines into its legs
All its wants is to sleep
To embrace a comforting darkness
Hitting its head against the wall
Begging for unconsciousness
To drown its own voice
To forget its cries
A worried little creature with absolutely nothing to worry about
Unending static
The sound of a restless child

Void Of Solitude
no solace
from these
thoughts
where obvious traps
have been
sprung
where oblivion
seems only
a fingertip away
feelings
drain
to nothing
less
aware
of rxistence
walking
over
shallow graves
striking
how dark
becomes darker
when
you fight
alone

Tainted Serenity
a little
distorted
frequency
is
what
i am
an interrupting
raindrop
on a sunny day
spoiling
the
vibe
that burning
indigestion
at night
that
wakes you
from sleep
a rotting branch
laying among
the flowers
tainting
the
veiw

Gifted
I don’t feel gifted
I don’t feel wrapped in silver foil and gold leaf
I feel like earth
I feel cloaked in leaves and swallowed in dark
I don’t feel gifted
I don’t feel royal blue or emerald green
I feel like earth
I feel like red earth and browning leaves
I don’t feel gifted
Perhaps gifted was just a way of saying different

Muted
Talking is hard sometimes.
I want to, I really do.
But the words are tied to a string weighed down deep in my stomach by rocks
and one very scary dragon

Stay Tuned In
no hidden
agenda
behind these eyes
straight
in your face
honesty
please
don't curb
my voice
it always
needs to say
those things
tiny
exploding
tine bomb thoughts
are simply
mine traps
i step on
just making
normal connections
becomes harder
wondering
what barriers will be
smashed this day
stay tuned
for another
horror show
as bloody
words keep
popping out

Rammed Fist
spirraling
downwards
abyss awaiting
old dark friend
whisper poison
rejoin the conversation
paranoia never far away
persecution stabs deeper
insignificant ant scurry along
we are killers incorporated
ants our specialty
causing mayhem
in your once peaceful mind
feel wires burning
circuit board melting
thought process tangled mess
up all night overthinking
each scenario builds darker walls
imprisoning light
fist rammed down throat
muffling coming screams ...

UHO
It’s an X file
An unexplained phenomenon
Unidentified human object
Alien first contact
Proof there is intelligent life
Bring in Alan Turing
Autistic code breaker
To decipher the neurotypical enigma
So many random settings
The simplest message is scrambled
