The Misfit So Alone
On a sleepless night I recall on the past
Of old days when I was young in school
Of the friendships we thought would last
And how desperately I wanted to be cool
There was something about the in-crowd
And how popular so many wanted to be
And though we never really said it out loud
Some wished to be like them to a degree
It’s in our nature to be accepted
Even if we didn’t know how to speak
Deep down we want to be respected
Flaws and all makes us each unique
This is for the eccentrics and the misfits
To those...

hurt's riddle
my hurt speaks in riddles
this way out if you want to survive
fear's doors are nailed shut
& the house is on fire
if you need to see the pharmacist
go through the tunneling maze
of self hatred
there's a drug dealer ...

Lost Dark Shadow - with adagio
One can get lost without the fluffy meandering clouds of imagination.
Or the soothing winds sailing blue monsoons.
Lost as a dark shadow that never sees a single star.
Failing a litmus test from the mind's creation
of acid's tears burn.
With tomorrow's sorrows, lost as a dark shadow.
With thoughts in the widdershins of a broken clock.
Needing to go back to be found.
Or the soothing winds sailing blue monsoons.
Lost as a dark shadow that never sees a single star.
Failing a litmus test from the mind's creation
of acid's tears burn.
With tomorrow's sorrows, lost as a dark shadow.
With thoughts in the widdershins of a broken clock.
Needing to go back to be found.

Garden of Thorns
Leave”, she said.
Without malice, or contempt.
Just resignation.
Discontent had gone on
far too long to garner any other
emotion
“Just leave”, she whispered, too choked to be audible.
As she retreated to her
garden of thorns.
Without malice, or contempt.
Just resignation.
Discontent had gone on
far too long to garner any other
emotion
“Just leave”, she whispered, too choked to be audible.
As she retreated to her
garden of thorns.

Personal Viper
Today it's pleasure
Tomorrow who knows
I have you in my sights
You respond well to my jaded
Not broken
Sometimes lost
I'm your personal Viper
You know where to find me
24/7
On call

THE CRASH
I truly do not want to be one to sit around and complain
but stress it seems to sometimes never seems to end
I'm always praying for the blessing of any of my miracles
yet they never ever seem just around the next bend.
Some days I feel as that I am getting much better
and others I feel as if I am losing and drowning again
for when waves feel like they're crashing all around
I wish I would have learned better how to swim.
My emotions are like the ever churning ocean
for I am only the co-captain of this my life's ship
and I have yet...

Where dark lies
Where dark lies
I have gone so far
down at times that
despair has become
my focus and death
has looked like
paradise.
Why am I still
here? Because
I stared death
in its face and
met the challenge
it represented.
Knowing myself
was the challenge
and I realised in
the mirror was
myself looking back.
Overcoming me took
me to realise that
stopping me from
jumping into an
abyss only took
me.

Again and Again
Feeling like I have something to gain,
I dust my pencil off again.
Some letters march to their end
because I have writer’s block again.
Other letters go against the grain;
they are looking to start a war again.
Banding together, they do what they intend;
now I am crying from what they said again.
Here I am harvesting my pain,
hoping to use it to fix myself again.
Making a stand, then I have to pretend
to get my bearings and have a grip again.
Seems organic, and I feel perfectly sane.
No, I do not want to fail again.
Yes, I...

hauntingly
alone in this
world
alone between
us
alone within
ourselves
despite the
touching
despite the
feelings
despite the
love
ghost moving
from second
to second
blind
and
lost
world
alone between
us
alone within

despite the

ghost moving

I can’t cope, no joke
I feel lost, worn down
Smushed into the ground
It’s impossible to turn
This frown upside down
I feel scared and afraid
Running around a maze
Swept up in the madness
Beginning to fade
I’m exhausted, I feel heavy
Like I’m ready
To be buried
Can’t this shit end already?
No hope or dope
Will realign the scope
Of feeling as though
I can actually cope
Smushed into the ground
It’s impossible to turn
This frown upside down
I feel scared and afraid
Running around a maze
Swept up in the madness
Beginning to fade
I’m exhausted, I feel heavy
Like I’m ready
To be buried
Can’t this shit end already?
No hope or dope
Will realign the scope
Of feeling as though
I can actually cope
