Merging
When you look
around the streets
where you live
the place
where you work
the soaps
that you watch
your family or friends
the thoughts
in your head
your system of pretend
your morals
that you shred
your attempts
to fit in
a box you outgrew
when you slowly
Became
You
understanding why
your thinking refused
to agree with the herd
that You are not You
until you delete
those ignorant Thoughts
and climb back
into the box
where your nightmares begin ...

Controling Your Personalitys
There are
different layers
different levels
Like
a multi story car park
within your mind
and every car
that you see
is but just
a different aspect
of thee
different layers
different levels
Like
a multi story car park
within your mind
and every car
that you see
is but just
a different aspect

WHO I AM & WHO I WANT TO BECOME
Moments are seeming tougher..
Seeing everything in it's lamest version,
Even the little success that i make..
I think is because of God's mercy!!
I am feeling faded..
I am living in the fakest version of myself...
Yet with an inner me..
Aiming at bigger dreams and aims..
That however not at all suitS who i am lately..
I feel i don't deserve any success..
And my future is a hopeless one..
The life i lead is not worth living...
But i still find myself in the same zone...
I hoped for christianity but then i fell out...
For...

The Only Champion
While all sleep
Sweet dreams
Snuggling down
Deep in REM souls
Here YOU sit
Lit room
White noise
Backgrounding
Stacks of papers awaiting
Your marks
Instead
You cry
Tears bubbling over
No damm
No gates
No catchalls
To stop them
For pain knows no boundaries
At times
It catapults from
Tiny snags in the fabric
Of life
To gaping holes
In the crevices
...

seriously.
memories are flooding in
pain is returning
its like its not really me or my life
like a robot being programmed by a bunch of people
they are telling me how to live MY life
LET ME LIVE MY LIFE HOW I CHOOSE
me trying to fix THEIR mistakes...
set me free
end it all
..please..
..just make it stop..

Ocean of Emotion
weary ship captains are we
navigating this deep open sea
tossed about from one storm to another
each wave threatens to pull us under
holding on for dear life
we start to pray
not knowing if we'll drown
then suddenly the waters calm
and we start again
steering our course
slicing through the waves
feeling the wind in our hair
all is well
then we come across
a port of call, a safe harbor
and we decide to stay for a while
to rest our weary bones
but inevitably, the sea calls to us
this is not your home ...

I would kill for peace.
Why... is there so much suffering?
Cruelty by choice... maybe god too is dead inside?
murdering due to its immortal patience...
small creatures are not a problem of a big god.
Suffering... my eyes full of glass shards.
It crushed my ribcage open...
And it bleeds
ungratefully.
It bleeds for all the mutilated animals,
because irresponsible humans crave a blood show
and dead flesh on their plates...
For the ones who are starving and cold
because idiots believe in kings and queens, and paper bills.
For the acid...
Cruelty by choice... maybe god too is dead inside?

Suffering... my eyes full of glass shards.

And it bleeds

It bleeds for all the mutilated animals,
because irresponsible humans crave a blood show
and dead flesh on their plates...
For the ones who are starving and cold

Ring Of Fire
RING OF FIRE
Im giving up
Throwing in the towel while waving a white flag
Admitting defeat
I'll step to the side
I'm beat
Wait for my spot at the end of the line
Finish where I think I started
Last place
No need to wait
Go ahead
Finish the race
Hand the trophies out
Keep my constellation prize
I'm fading and doubt I'll make it before roads reopen
No joke this time
This time time ain't on my side
At the end of my rope
So why keep hanging around
Skip tying a noose and chocking myself out ...

Mood Better
Some positive news today
I don't feel like gouging your eyes out with a ice pick
Don't get cocky though
I might still spit in your food

FIRST they came FOR your Neighbors
I had
a little thought
about ten years ago
and like a virus
it went straight
to my head
and where ever I go
the thought
will not leave me
alone
that there is
something seriously
Wrong
when students
are unwilling
to take their place
in a history
that is soon to come
To leave behind
those childish thoughts
It can never happen
to Me
or my Family

Taint
The kids died
Alone and rotten in the woods.
As years pass
Shadows stretch beyond limits
We fall apart
Dry out like leaves
Separated by walls and stars
anthems and icons
Dehydrated
acknowledgement is the water.
A poisoned dam pledges all...
Flickering channels, ten feet tall
Make you a no one
A zero of infinite millions
All the same.
Alone and rotten in the woods.
As years pass
Shadows stretch beyond limits
We fall apart
Dry out like leaves
Separated by walls and stars
anthems and icons
Dehydrated
acknowledgement is the water.
A poisoned dam pledges all...
Flickering channels, ten feet tall
Make you a no one
A zero of infinite millions
All the same.

Edgy Week
Been pissed off all week
Probably gonna be like this for awhile
Karma is whacked out
Arugula wilting
Math not being done
Probably gonna be like this for awhile
Karma is whacked out
Arugula wilting
Math not being done
