A SPADE AN SPADE
What is it with this corrupt systematic system that we have within the court system when it concerns, the well being of a child when both parents cant seem to see to eye to eye fighting over a child. For I am speaking from my own experience of having to deal with the court system, that continues to denie a father the same equal rights, as they give to the mother to be heard and seen concerning the well being of the child. For even though they the parents might not see eye to eye you would think that the court system would be fair in the eyes of the law, but some of us mens have found that not...

You Are A Beautiful Soul You Have A Voice Use It
Apparently such words are deemed
undermining in the eyes of the social worker, makes you wonder what goes on in the heads of the anti social workers.
Incompetence comes to mind
or down right malignant destroyers of family. Either way, the games of inpolite society we inevitably play

Depression
I have depression. I don't just feel sad.. it's the world is fucking ending due to me being alive kind of sad. Sadness and depression can't just be gotten over. Like a cold or even a broken heart.
The wheels constantly turn in my head.. voices of disappointment, hatred for myself and fear of everything. The voices are not very kind and very unforgiving.
I can't just say I don't want to be an adult today. I have a life I need to live but getting out of bed is the hardest sometimes. I dream of pulling the covers over my head and just being invisible to the demons who tell...

You Don't Know
There's a story behind every person. There's a reason why they are the way they are. Think about that before you judge someone."
See that girl over there?
black hoodie? ripped jeans?
with her black lipstick,
you call her different
but if you looked behind the scenes...
then you'd know...
it's just a mask that she wears
to keep her hands from shaking
so no one sees her breaking
cuz she feels like nobody cares...
and that boy in the corner?

THOSE AGAINST US
He that isnt against us is for us, for they come into our lives with a heart, mind, and deep spiritual soul. They give of themselves not looking for anything in return, but the best for us as they have our best interest at heart as they truly want that for us.
But he that is against us is not for us, as this shall come to pass for the most highest spiritual soul shall and will open your eyes and...

Forged in Fantasy
my ego tells me I'm invincible
my pride says to always go forward
I've mastered almost every goal
each barrier I broke through with ease
the road to victory is forged in fantasy
so I always keep a good distance from reality
but then it happens
the one challenge I can't avoided any longer
the rear of it's ugly head
everytime I've tried to climb that ladder
I've fallen right down on my face
studied each angle
thought every possiblity through
if only it was as easy for me
as others make it seem
my mind has been boggled by...

Demiurge
Does anybody
in this sad day and age
trueiy
understand why
we are trained
not to believe
to never even
take a peek
behind the curtain
of these thoughts
we are told
not to receive
Beyond our brain
Beyond our pain
Beyond the the thing
that drives us
towards
Our Material Abyss
in this sad day and age
trueiy
understand why
we are trained
not to believe
to never even
take a peek
behind the curtain
of these thoughts
we are told
not to receive
Beyond our brain
Beyond our pain
Beyond the the thing
that drives us
towards

i don’t
expect you
to understand
this
language
or
puffy eyes
that appear
like
they’ve
been in a
round
with
mike
tyson
or
threadbare
wounds
trickling
silent
between
white
tiles
it’s
a mist
turning
upside
down &
this
moment
of survival
is a
rubber
ring
from
a capsized
life ...

Blood in the Water
Pretend it's just ice burgs
just normal evil mistakes
puttin the holes
into your sinking cruise
Truth is, the ice-burgs
are really pirates
surrounding
aiming smoking cannons!
What to do?
Two overboard...
one floats, half frozen
on splintering hopes
while the rest stare
darkly out
and there's blood
wafting... in the water
Bandage the damage
for the red horses
already out
of your marks
If we hadn't started sinking
in bloody
battled waters ...
just normal evil mistakes
puttin the holes
into your sinking cruise
Truth is, the ice-burgs
are really pirates
surrounding
aiming smoking cannons!
What to do?
Two overboard...
one floats, half frozen
on splintering hopes
while the rest stare
darkly out
and there's blood
wafting... in the water
Bandage the damage
