Trade In
I need a new life,
even at my age
If I weren't so depressed
I'd be filled with rage
If I didn't have so much rage,
I wouldn't be depressed
I think you can surmise
my life is a mess
Sometimes I don't want to
truly means No, I can't
This matter is serious
it's not just a rant
You can't quit your job
the children need you!
I can't help them if I'm dead
I am one worn out Jew
I want to escape,
but where will I go?
That's for me to find out
And soon I will know.
even at my age

Downward Spiral
A problem you are
Don't taint me with your issues
You bring others down
Don't taint me with your issues
You bring others down

My Vines
There’s this gemstone i want,
perched right on a cliff.
No matter how many times
my hand stretches to grasp it,
i fail, merely tracing it with my fingertips.
I glance around,
catching sight of vines latching onto me.
My mind sends neural signals,
a command to escape,
but my body remains ensnared,
writhing and squeezed
into an embrace to the glade.
These stems grew from the dreadful
qualm buried deep in
the dustiest corners of cobwebs,
where my inner saboteur resides, ...
perched right on a cliff.

if i were a sims character....
if i were a sims character, my main aspiration would ultimately be- "Bestselling Author" due to my outlet with poetry:
my three main traits assigned to me initially would have to be loner, socially akward, and foodie;
perhaps one may suggest the trait "creative" but I often critic the level of my overall "creativity"- i honestly believe between those traits listed above- it shouldn't make top three....
alot of my time is spent alone- that social meter would slowly but surely...

between the words we don't say
Let's not talk about this
so you can call me a liar
so you can bury yourself in denial
I don't need your validation
the truth won't set anyone free
and I'm not sure I want to
hold that gun to anyone's head
least of all my own
I can't change our world
with self-righteous violence
and you wear the victim
with all the pride of a horror movie
make-up artist
ripping the very real throat out
of an imaginary woman
Don't speak
don't make it real
someone might tell you
it's...

BLACK THALASSIC
Lost in its black widow's dark eyes
That storm inches of black tears
Back and forth, where it just lies
Threatening anything that nears
From a distance, I can hear unknown cries
Tell me, what's there to sincerely fear?
I've gone so far into the demons' belly rug
I accept my dreadful, dead-end, fate
Going further, I emerge into its sweet fog
Encountering the dangers of its weight
"I may not waive this place, for I don't belong"
Dismaying my boat, no control, solely, pure hate...
Trapped in a vessel that...

against the wall
When your back is against the wall, there is only one thing
to do, and that is turn around and fight.”—John Major
the earth me live would swallow, if she could,
and contemplate that she had done me good;
but time is not yet right to kick the bucket,
my seed yet ripe enough for hands to pluck it.
she decimates my ego with her fire,
spoils my escape with razor-sharp barbed wire;
and when her quicksands drink me to the neck,
my head reels with her evil discotheque.

you never just dream about just running away-even if it's just your mind that's doing the running?
and the truth is, just about everyone does this more or less at some capacity.... but.... some of us as "human beings" see no other way than escaping "reality " for a longer length of time because- "reality" for the most part isn't worth the headache....

Fear of Shadows
You can drive a car if you do it right
but you can't go far if it puts you out of sight
you can't look at girls
you can't drink anything
you got to get your kicks in the shadow of fear
You stay out late when they think your young
when they find out, there gonna want you hung
so you try to understand that you might get near
cause your lost alone in the shadow of fear
So you found a chick that you think is fine
but you fell too fast so you lost your mind
society looks, but they turn their ears
you got to get your kicks in...
but you can't go far if it puts you out of sight
you can't look at girls
you can't drink anything

You stay out late when they think your young
when they find out, there gonna want you hung
so you try to understand that you might get near
cause your lost alone in the shadow of fear
So you found a chick that you think is fine
but you fell too fast so you lost your mind
society looks, but they turn their ears
you got to get your kicks in...

the shots i take
I've seen several things in the mirror; ultimately- I see a soul that's been yanged into a nightmare reality that often shows itself as such-while yet disguised as a wonderful "dream"....
this body that's been asigned to my "soul" occasionally wants to rest and sleep-there's not enough hours in a day.... I also see-someone who exist to escape one's existence "religiously "....
the only shots i take-that keep me warm throughout the night and day- are the ones that keep bars and spirit stores in business .... damn, what a...

I stole her money
I don't care, she stole my life
She says she loves me
I don't care, she stole my life

When I'm Writing, Stay Away From Me
"You fucked her!"
"No I didn't!" (Oh shit!!)
"Yes you did you bastard, how could you?"
"You fucked her even if you didn't!!"
She looks over my shoulder as I write
I say: Are you mad about something?
I see the look on her face get really mean
She looks at me again and goes upstairs
This was going to be a funny thing, this conversation I was going to write
But now I lost the thread on what I was going to say
The timing was perfect though
Every time she walks by, she sneaks a look at...
"No I didn't!" (Oh shit!!)
"Yes you did you bastard, how could you?"
"You fucked her even if you didn't!!"
She looks over my shoulder as I write
I say: Are you mad about something?
I see the look on her face get really mean

This was going to be a funny thing, this conversation I was going to write
