Ghosts In The Machine
I live in a country of mass murderers and mental illness
while battling with fear and anger praying for emotional stillness
All of my life I have been French Kiss by fate
now I am sounding an alarm before it is too late
Our demonocracy on the brink of collapse because of political schisms
like racism, sexism and other "isms"
Every night I battle with my circadian rhythm
worried I am just another slave to the almighty algorithm
When AI runs the show here
from it what will we fear
Will we be hundreds of millions...

Every night I battle with my circadian rhythm
worried I am just another slave to the almighty algorithm

Granite Garden
Hear it in my soil
Hear it from my bed tomb
Bass cobwebs in tune
Playing chords for you
Notes written in a book
Music of my milestones
Never feeling alone
I’m the seeds of my tomb
Fixing to bloom
Words of a verse
Sung so softly
Ghost of addiction
In the Soundgarden
My blood's in the sun
In the Soundgarden
My song's in the air
But In the Granite Garden
I'm everywhere
Hear it from my bed tomb
Bass cobwebs in tune
Playing chords for you
Notes written in a book
Music of my milestones
Never feeling alone
I’m the seeds of my tomb
Fixing to bloom
Words of a verse
Sung so softly
Ghost of addiction
In the Soundgarden
My blood's in the sun
In the Soundgarden
My song's in the air
But In the Granite Garden
I'm everywhere

vulnerability
sensitive the touch my soul shrinks back
taking refuge in the shadows
I revolve around the hurt
socially awkward I'm comfortable in the dark
it's a covering to my nakedness
too honest for my own good, I shy
sinister stirrings in my mind make me pull away
demons over trauma assault me
I shudder within and smile without
you would never know what roll beneath
I ache in the desolate vision
I close my eyes and in dreams they enter
happy people seem fake to me
surely they're pretending
my mind plays tricks...
taking refuge in the shadows
I revolve around the hurt
socially awkward I'm comfortable in the dark
it's a covering to my nakedness
too honest for my own good, I shy
sinister stirrings in my mind make me pull away
demons over trauma assault me
I shudder within and smile without
you would never know what roll beneath
I ache in the desolate vision
I close my eyes and in dreams they enter
happy people seem fake to me
surely they're pretending
my mind plays tricks...

Lost Spark
Stop trying tricks. You are throwing on me bricks.
The waters of my heart are really deep,but bloody.
In it is my dead body. Its skin is so dry,you can't even cry.
The organs are full of cockroaches. But the history is why it's like this.
Oh,how I miss being a child.
Now there are bloody tissues all over the room.
They have spots of trauma.
I'm sure I lost the spark. My scale of self esteem is black.
I wore shoes of spikes inside them.
One day I will remake them. Please,grab me some love from the store.
A black...

Simple question is complicated to answer
You’re just a customer,
you have no clue.
The power you have,
to make or break my day.
You asked me “how I am”?
I honestly thought I was doing ok,
but its been so long since someone asked
and now I’m unsure if I am.

Mother Star (a tarot poem)
Mother Star
Courage and change
is what you needed all along
the future has found you
embrace it
...
10 of Cups
This is what's important
it makes them happy
to see you smile
spirits lifted out of the darkness
you've been living in
You aren't alone
you've never been alone
there are so many
outstretched hands to hold
...
4 of Swords
Anxiety is real
remember to breathe
this fear doesn't need to rule...

It Seems
Tired of pursuing hopes and dreams
They only come with many
disappointments
It seems...
Wearied with chasing ultimate success
It only comes to those
who couldn't care less
It seems...
Angered by life and its woes
Windows never open
when the doors close
It seems...
A moment with pity leads to inner death
Destroying patience and perseverance
till a man's dying breath
Nothing ever comes of complaining
Address the negative feelings ...
They only come with many
disappointments
It seems...
Wearied with chasing ultimate success
It only comes to those
who couldn't care less
It seems...
Angered by life and its woes
Windows never open
when the doors close
It seems...
A moment with pity leads to inner death
Destroying patience and perseverance
till a man's dying breath
Nothing ever comes of complaining
Address the negative feelings ...

nerds are us
I didn't do it,
you must have guessed at;
I fly by a different realm-
I enjoy sun and dizzy calm;
I leave the party to play dungeons & dragons;
I release the smile of always suffering fools;
I can't and won't live it down.
understanding the wiles of fellow humans
is best left to the philosophers and
I'll just be that hermit girl,
again and red mountain dew as that other
fellow dork said.

Saying
There’s a saying among gay men
that we process it all in our 30s,
can finally mature
once youth has drawn back in its blades.
And like any saying or theme
it filters out
regardless of the heart in its way.
that we process it all in our 30s,

Asphalt
Lying here with my left cheek to the asphalt,
Shards of blue metal anchored into my skin
Fractured jaw bleeding and I can see the red turn dark purple as it seeps into the road , watching as the blood changes into a dark stain
The traffic has come to a stop and the commuters sit behind the wheel honking , No body gets out to help
No body is concerned
Everyone just sits in annoyance because I have made them late to their grave digging duty's
Their patience is wearing thin so they figure they will just drive around me , some even decide to run me over, ...
