The Boneyard
We lay mangled
By some unseen hand
Well, I saw it
I don’t know if you did
Did you see your lion?
I turn my head
I can’t make eye contact
You walk away
Always stronger than I
No one can see what we carry
No one can see what we hold
It is as dark as the darkest night
I know, cliché right?
But really…
Some dark nights offer respite
When the lions don’t come
But some dark nights just let them come
Who’s really in charge?
I can’t raise my arms
I can’t move my legs
So, I surely cannot walk away ...
By some unseen hand
Well, I saw it
I don’t know if you did
Did you see your lion?
I turn my head
I can’t make eye contact
You walk away
Always stronger than I
No one can see what we carry
No one can see what we hold
It is as dark as the darkest night
I know, cliché right?
But really…
Some dark nights offer respite
When the lions don’t come
But some dark nights just let them come
Who’s really in charge?
I can’t raise my arms
I can’t move my legs
So, I surely cannot walk away ...

Back to the Ward
Can we be one and the same?
Can we ever coexist in this universe?
Is it possible to end this ridiculous game,
Without making it even worse?
Stealing thoughts like moral thieves.
Mind games back and forth in rapid succession.
Degrading each other’s believes.
Distorting the line between happy and depression.
Can I only be happy without you?
Can I only be free when you’re gone?
Is there no middle ground to pursue?
Do we have to fight every night till dawn?
I’m tired of the endless confrontations,
I can no longer...

Rainbow Love
Rainbow love
A striking banner above
How I chase him fast
Outrunning weather forecast
To catch a ray of
His rainbow love
A distant illusion
I know won’t last
I ask “why bother?”
As I look for another
Rainbow love
Waiting to shove
The storm in my eyes
A striking banner above
How I chase him fast
Outrunning weather forecast
To catch a ray of
His rainbow love
A distant illusion
I know won’t last
I ask “why bother?”
As I look for another
Rainbow love
Waiting to shove
The storm in my eyes

Broken
My head is pounding
The noise resounding
My heart is racing
Some sleep I'm chasing
To feel okay
For one whole day
To feel awake
And never break
I can't survive
Or run and hide
From all this pain
This hurricane
Of emotion and headaches
The falling of the snowflakes
The devil creates my prison
The darkness has arisen
The monster inside of me
These chains, I'm never free
Torn apart by life itself
Stuck within my inner hell
I try to dream
I...
The noise resounding
My heart is racing
Some sleep I'm chasing
To feel okay
For one whole day
To feel awake
And never break
I can't survive
Or run and hide
From all this pain
This hurricane
Of emotion and headaches
The falling of the snowflakes
The devil creates my prison
The darkness has arisen
The monster inside of me
These chains, I'm never free
Torn apart by life itself
Stuck within my inner hell
I try to dream

The Lit’l Ghost
I regress
Due to stress
The Little Ghost
Floats me away
To a place
Days of past
Little Audrey
Hiding there
Next to the stairs
She’s just so scared
Of herself
Of her fam
Of secrets shared
Oh, I digress
Where’d she go
Little Lady I
Used to know
Afraid of pain
And loss
And sorrow
All she can say
Is “I dunno”
Voice of child
Hides her face
And furrows brow
How did I get here
Where is now
Time collapses
Shakes me
Breaks me ...
Due to stress
The Little Ghost
Floats me away
To a place
Days of past
Little Audrey
Hiding there

Where’d she go

And sorrow
All she can say

And furrows brow
How did I get here
Where is now
Time collapses
Shakes me

Coronavirus: "Euphemism for Satanism"
The earth is round..." said the scientists, we believed because we don't have tools to prove
"Strengthen the pound..." said the economists, we debated but we were corned to lose the truth
The Priest, Reverend and congregants were given time off from church - politicians are preaching!
The Beast irrelevantly grabs all the attention and we forgot the meaning of church - godly christians are pleading!
Our church leaders are no longer teaching about God, maybe...
Our church leaders have subconsciously (if not unconsciously) substituted Satan for Corona ...

Hopeless Love
My heart is trapped inside a glass box. It tries to break free with every *thump,* yet cannot shatter the confinements of solidarity. Like a bird trapped in its cage, one’s ability to love freely relies on others to break us free. For me, that woman was Jenny. The love of my life, my partner in crime, we did everything together. After receiving a massive inheritance, I realized that money could not buy me happiness. Money could not release my heart from its cage. Though I had millions, Jenny was my everything. She was my everything. Was. She had died earlier in the year from a battle with...

Tired
I'm tired of listening to the
Sounds of my tears
Tired of constant battling
My fears
I'm tired of wasting my days
Submerged in despair
Tired of words piercing my heart
Like a sharp spear
Tired of being fake when I
Really care
Tired of being stuck in toxic
Relationships and surrounds
Tired of lies in a world full of
Fakes
Tired of believing
Tired of putting up a show
Tired of battling defeat
Sounds of my tears
Tired of constant battling
My fears
I'm tired of wasting my days
Submerged in despair
Tired of words piercing my heart
Like a sharp spear
Tired of being fake when I
Really care
Tired of being stuck in toxic
Relationships and surrounds
Tired of lies in a world full of
Fakes
Tired of believing
Tired of putting up a show
Tired of battling defeat

#2 Lost Love
2
Always number two, number two my entire life. It’s the story I live that I can not break free from. On the physical pain of existence I constantly compete with others. I compete even if there is no competition. Even when I know that I lost before I even started. I feel so empty inside when I think back on how much effort I put into you. For me to love you, for you to look for other love. How empty my heart aches. The tears have been running down my face for weeks as you left so many signs to show this coming. I tried so hard to ignore it but you made it plain. You can’t lie to me. How...
