Confined to this hell.
Eager for some sort of light.
Too claustrophobic.

Realize
I’ve been slapped so many times before that I don’t even know when realization hits.

Seclusion
Slowly removing myself from others lives.
Early warning signs.
Could this end badly?
Losing all sense of reality.
Under the impression that I’m doing okay.
Should I feel this empty?
I can’t shake this feeling off.
Obviously, I am the problem.
Nonsensical?

Evil eyes
His eyes turn to black.
The demon has awoken.
Fear consumes my life.

it's a memory now
they would yell
they would scream
they were fighting it out
she would hope
she would pray
she was waiting it out
sharp words
like knives
they were cutting her down
shattered glass
like the past
its a memory now
they would scream
they were fighting it out
she would hope
she would pray
she was waiting it out
sharp words
like knives
they were cutting her down
shattered glass
like the past

A Possible Scene Of Home Invasion
Rebecca heard a
noise, went downstairs and saw one
of her students named
Jason stand naked in front
of her with a sharp steak knife.

.38 ways to say i love you
Its blackness shone as a terribly familiar contrast & that gaping maw
matched the pit of your eyes perfectly
I always did love those storm cloud eyes
even when they didn't belong to you
the earth still spun as our children slept
flimsy doors & drywall illusions
tucked them in each night
better than I ever could
& the only gift I had left to give them
was survival.... because love
wasn't enough
I watched the ghosts flit in & out

the lay of the land
The lay of the land
Ramadan is going green; eat cabbage stew before dawn
and leave the cattle feel safe from men with long knives
I think of Israel, a none Muslim state, where the Jews
are demonstrating against the fanatics, who are, at heart
Fascists; the wish is, for them, to extend to lend a hand
to the long-suffering Palestinians.
In Europe, people are tired of the proxy war between
Russia and the USA; they are finally seeing Ukraine for
what it is, a fascist country that, with the help of NATO
Illegally grabbed power; they are...

Misery
she listens to songs sung with the sweetness
his voice rarely has
sung of the love they tried to simulate
but never really had
after the fire dies
she tells herself lies
as the hours drag by
into the sunrise
she lays there and cries
a prisoner in a cell behind those eyes
she's thrown so many pennies into the well
it's practically hers to claim
she's wished upon the stars so many times
they practically know her name
after the fire dies
she tells herself lies
this is not my life ...

25yrs to life
forgotten memories
can't be written
they hide behind blank pages
& battle weary mornings
I toss them carelessly
into a dusty corner
to grow repressive cobwebs
over graymatter prison cells
you don't get to choose
what or who you remember
they're all condemned
guilty by association
out of body, out of mind
my children's milestones
left behind...
& those were mine
those were mine
can't be written
they hide behind blank pages
& battle weary mornings
I toss them carelessly
into a dusty corner
to grow repressive cobwebs
over graymatter prison cells
you don't get to choose
what or who you remember
they're all condemned
guilty by association
out of body, out of mind
my children's milestones
left behind...
& those were mine
those were mine

Leave
Please stop doing this to me.
Where there is no place for me to hide and no place to feel safe.
You've made my life unpleasantly scary,
You're an every shadow question what I do.
What you can't hear me?
For what I'm telling you is true.
I don't do them things you're telling me I do.
So what if you don't like what I have to say,
So why do I have to fear you!
Just go your separate way.
I wish you the best,
Leave me to rest.
And as long as you're gone, I will be at the evil one.
So go ahead and tell you're a made up lies.
I...
