I want my reality back...
Damnit...I want my reality back...
tired of Trump's cock and bull tales...
Coated in chocolate bullshit, they are...
no matter...it still tastes like what it is...
excretory material pumped out by our nether regions.

You will never know
So many poems written in your name
All those words you'll never know
I keep them locked away
Along with the word I've never said
Like how I love you
And how you are the best thing in my world
Yet after so many days,
So many months, and so many years
These are words you haven't heard..
I'm dying to do tell you everything
Open my heart and show you everything,
The worst and the best parts of me
But I'm scared I'm not the one you need me to be,
I'm scared I'm not everything you need from me,
I'm afraid to fall short of...
All those words you'll never know
I keep them locked away
Along with the word I've never said
Like how I love you
And how you are the best thing in my world
Yet after so many days,
So many months, and so many years
These are words you haven't heard..
I'm dying to do tell you everything
Open my heart and show you everything,
The worst and the best parts of me
But I'm scared I'm not the one you need me to be,
I'm scared I'm not everything you need from me,

Right to Poverty
Her boyfriend told her he loved her, that he was her rock, her savior, that he would be with her always.
Then the rabbit died.
He ran so fast that light couldn't catch him.
And she was left all alone.
or maybe someone she knew, or didn't know decided to force himself on her and she knew that every time she peered at the face of her child she would see her attacker, every look a reminder.
Could you do it?
No one wants an abortion. They just want a life.
In the 'good old days' before Roe versus Wade, women went to the back rooms where butchers would perform...

Sting of Consciousness
I have a hard time understanding anti-maskers
when they claim their rights
are being fringed upon,
it’s somewhere along the lines
of anti-vaxxers, it just sounds wrong.
I know everyone is entitled to their own views,
but it seems that lately
we’re an individualistic society,
people will believe the lies
and ignore the truth
simply because it’s easier.
Then again, selfishness, like greed, is a disease,
it slowly tears away
at the fabric of humanity,
it’s manifested in anger
with hatred and ignorance, ...

I'm Reading a f**king Book
That's right
A book
Baseball game rained out
Sucks a big one
Bought a book on eBay
Paperback
New York Times Best Seller
Entitled "There There" by Tommy Orange
Spur of the moment purchase
Gotta get off the internet
Read again
So I'm reading a fucking book
Just started it
Feels like it's gonna be good
Gave up drinking temporarily
Feeling edgy
Tired of electronic everything
So I'm reading a fucking book
Dealing with my bipolar anger issues
Happy
Sad
Revolution
Don't mention anymore...

Hailing
The pages of me began to unfurl as lines recited upon the subtle frailties of my marble inset skin
like acid washed porous page skeletons laid out in observance to dreary days; an ode
where chemistry in the form of water took over our last lust, pardoning or separating words/ worlds-
those afforded or allotted between the journal and it's occasional reader once commenced
into those long hauling, hailing, reigning rows of sea
Yet there is a land; I have been there.

Bad dream/reality
I fall asleep and dream
that i was hanging with you
Then at the end of my dream
you told me goodbye and
I felt tear falling down my face
i woke up in tears
I look at my phone and
i text your sister waiting for her reply.
i stand up to go to the kitchen
walking back to sit down i hear a ting
I read her text message saying your gone and
you died 5 mins after i fell asleep * tears falling hard*
I can't breathe and i nearly drop my phone
as i fall to ground after seeing a text from your sister
I say over and over it...
that i was hanging with you
Then at the end of my dream
you told me goodbye and
I felt tear falling down my face
i woke up in tears
I look at my phone and
i text your sister waiting for her reply.
i stand up to go to the kitchen
walking back to sit down i hear a ting
I read her text message saying your gone and
you died 5 mins after i fell asleep * tears falling hard*
I can't breathe and i nearly drop my phone

Dementia
i’m losing the love of my life
he said
through poorly hidden tears
no she’s already gone
he whispers
she doesn’t even know my name
he rages pounding his fist on the table
it used to be hugs and kisses
family outings
vacations celebrations
arguments followed by embraces
he was her lover protector
partner-in-crime
for more than sixty years
now he is
a stranger
a caretaker
now it is long journeys
to the bathroom and back
now it is cutting her food
making...

Fearless
Long hair waving in the new wind.
Time changes and it’s a nude beginning.
Bowie, I only worship one king.
All that is left are the songs we are still singing.
Heroes fall under the thunder sounds.
Waterfalls endlessly come crashing down.
Inside my own existence I continually drown.
I can never find the right way out.
Primal heart; bitten Devil man.
Longing for a new wave to send me to a better land,
Where people are free from eternal suffering.
I hold aloft the heart of endless dreaming.

Worry loves all
Worries cease our thoughts in shackles to break beneath strain. Hands sweat, the heart palps, some perish, some live. This, another frugal whim and tempt to try and regain.
And when worry is but an ornament around the neck, a fed famine now less in width and in length, from it's victory beaten is given till the next, earned of gain and renewed in strength.
A coffin buriest trials like an errant friend, till error he errors once more. Escape from hiding finds no peace for long or collateral to appease it's decatent taste of it's favored whore.
None earthly...

Purge the Imbecile
The yellow pea
of promiscuity
As heritable as
the green one
they call criminality.
Perhaps their
immutable design
Could be remade
into morally pure
perfect little peas
Several generations
of bleached bones
Should purge the Imbecile
of promiscuity
As heritable as
the green one
they call criminality.
Perhaps their
immutable design
Could be remade
into morally pure
perfect little peas
Several generations
