Alone and Mad
I know you wish
I could just...
Fall in line
Keep my mouth shut
and
not speak my mind
And I would if I could
But,
Words sit on the tip of my tongue
And...
Maybe if my face wouldn't show my my emotions
You would have missed that
uninterested nod,
while you was pandering that
BULLSHIT
Maybe if I held back my opinions
when asked...
I wouldn't be in bed Alone
And you wouldn't have went home
Mad!
I could just...
Fall in line
Keep my mouth shut
and
not speak my mind
And I would if I could
But,
Words sit on the tip of my tongue
And...
Maybe if my face wouldn't show my my emotions
You would have missed that
uninterested nod,
while you was pandering that
BULLSHIT
Maybe if I held back my opinions
when asked...
I wouldn't be in bed Alone
And you wouldn't have went home
Mad!

rusted dreams
i count my scars,
but i feel no bitterness for pain;
i kiss my stars,
though i scarce can unto them attain.
fate’s abattoir
wields its guillotine to slay my mind,
but secret streams
bless this desert where i am confined.
i eat my song,
aching for the taste of harmonies.
what could go wrong,
if i choked on new mal-phantasies!
for i have longed,
from the circles spinning in my head,
to hide my screams
in this place where i am all but dead.
i close my eyes,
but i do...
but i feel no bitterness for pain;
i kiss my stars,
though i scarce can unto them attain.
fate’s abattoir
wields its guillotine to slay my mind,
but secret streams
bless this desert where i am confined.
i eat my song,
aching for the taste of harmonies.
what could go wrong,
if i choked on new mal-phantasies!
for i have longed,
from the circles spinning in my head,
to hide my screams
in this place where i am all but dead.
i close my eyes,

Beautiful Beings
Beautiful
beings;
Blinded from seeing.
Borrowed from home;
Brought here, then;
Bought here, then;
Broken down and left alone.
Bathing in the sun, day in and day out;
Being freed one day, no hope only doubt.
Black, strong, bonded, and usable;
Being forever beautiful.

Beneath A Blinking Sky
Temptation
I succumb to it again
Like the appetite of a wolf that won't die
Passions at war within
My will to love you versus me myself and I
Guilt
Self resentment
Contempt in my reflection
Like poison
My complex of rejection
Exploitation
The art is a dead rendering
Laying claim to help me recover
When in honesty it feels
Lost is a place I rediscover
Struggle
When the battle is my excuse to remain
I fight as if I'm going somewhere
But I am the author of my pain
Sabotage ...
I succumb to it again
Like the appetite of a wolf that won't die

Guilt

The art is a dead rendering

Struggle

and the night was dark and cold
getting far now.
getting into the motions.
I stood in a corner.
I sat on dirty concrete.
I watched people
who seemingly had
lives as they flew by
in their worldly smiles
and lint free suits,
and the long haired women,
and the group
of friends,
where were they going?
somewhere I wasn't,
and the night was dark
and cold, and I was cut free
from everyone
I thought I knew,
but somewhere inside
was a relief to
be free of it all.

HOW ARE YOU?
I made a tent outside my mind...
Wanna know what I realized?
That downers are annoying , always pleading suicide , or hurting themselves , turning others happy meals sad...
To the point one might shout out "hey you!! if you wanna do it , just do it already!! Just do it already!! Crap get it over with!!! Ughgg!!!
And I am a downer...
Just look at that …
Wrote all that in one breathe without a second thought , not planned just plain out heart...
You are happy
And if I am not helping you pull the load …
Crap then I am adding to it!

Opp din på den mest oppriktige måten!
Av Stanley Collymore
Ikke ta meg for den gullible sucker som du tror jeg er -
som jeg absolutt ikke er en! Og det gjør det egentlig
betyr noe for meg du prøver å håndtere din friskt
utviklet og født avkom på meg, og så ganske
uærlig hevder hvor mye lykkeligere du
tenk, de to av oss vil utvilsomt være på min slutt,
og glatt du antar, blir en verdsatt far. Vel, la
meg straks og direkte debunk din fantasi
teori av deg, som jeg er ikke for et
ensomt øyeblikk å kjøpe din
duplicitous og utrolige
sjarade av bonhomie ...

Kill a love
There are times when I feel like just leaving you alone,
But there are times I don’t want to be here all on my own;
But I know if we keep on, keep going on,
I can be right there with you when things go right
And when things go wrong.
I hang out with the losers and the freaks;
I love those people, they are just like me.
Why are you so cruel?
Why did you treat me like a fool?
Why do I care about anybody in this world?
I’m going to see you as a star and pick you apart;
I love you with all my heart, but to destroy...
But there are times I don’t want to be here all on my own;
But I know if we keep on, keep going on,
I can be right there with you when things go right
And when things go wrong.
I hang out with the losers and the freaks;
I love those people, they are just like me.
Why are you so cruel?
Why did you treat me like a fool?
Why do I care about anybody in this world?
I’m going to see you as a star and pick you apart;
I love you with all my heart, but to destroy...

I never wanted to act like you didn’t exist.
A punishment in the form of Grief, I can admit.
A decision not within my control.
Paid the toll at the expense of my morals.
Pressured into an unwanted choice.
All because it was him who had the voice.
Torn away from me in just a night.
Now I have never felt so right.
A man who left me in a pit of sorrow.
Brought me to the brink of no tomorrow.
I sought the day I did not breath.
For my heart was ripped away just...
A punishment in the form of Grief, I can admit.
A decision not within my control.
Paid the toll at the expense of my morals.
Pressured into an unwanted choice.
All because it was him who had the voice.
Torn away from me in just a night.
Now I have never felt so right.
A man who left me in a pit of sorrow.
Brought me to the brink of no tomorrow.
I sought the day I did not breath.
For my heart was ripped away just...

the mesh
welcome to the mesh
the fabric throughout this space
where thoughts are collected
it covers every inch of this place
it spans out and flexes
like a blown up rubber balloon
but it contracts just the same
at least that’s what we assume
but also it’s bending or stretching
all the fine threads of our reality
pulling itself down like wool
creating some sense of duality
no matter how thinly veiled
we all must truly be
even if the fabric weren’t thin
we still would never see
...
