fighting the gag order
7 of 30
I am reminded...
of all the days I longed to run away
how funny is that
grown ass adult having fantasies of escape
find a little place on the side of a mountain
just me {& my cats}...
no cars or fights
or gunshots across the street
just the whispering rumors of wind
& gossipy titters of birds in the trees
nobody to notice if I remain mute
when the only person around is me
alternatively...
I could mouth off whenever I want
...who's going to protest
lately I've had this crazy idea...

flayed open
It's one of those weeks
where all I'm left with
is the thoughts in my head
and you fill in the gaps
like flies to a corpse
I miss you
I want you
I hate you
I refuse to need you
but my bones ache
with the weight of your absence
And I keep asking myself
what in the actual fuck
am I doing to myself
letting you let live
rent free in this hell
that supposed to my haven?
I don't need this
I don't need you
but here you are
inside me
all the fucking time ...

Forsworn
I find everything here so boring
lost the emotional catapults
that make me want to surrender
my "hope so's"
I find patience all so hollow
when fighting is easier to follow
blood on the pages
worn fingers on the pulse of
a God amongst the flesh mites
I see clay figures playing pretend
harboring the night
with their silhouettes behind
a swaying candlelight
everyone just wants to be bigger
of course, in hindsight
up until you're faced with
challenges to match right?
I find happiness in...
lost the emotional catapults
that make me want to surrender
my "hope so's"
I find patience all so hollow
when fighting is easier to follow
blood on the pages
worn fingers on the pulse of
a God amongst the flesh mites
I see clay figures playing pretend
harboring the night
with their silhouettes behind
a swaying candlelight
everyone just wants to be bigger
of course, in hindsight
up until you're faced with
challenges to match right?
I find happiness in...

mind the drop
Rain turns wood to sponge
I don't notice until the rot gives way
and I
half fall through the decking
Times slows
and then speeds back up
as my hand finds the railing
unintentionally
I breathe hard
my body like jelly
balanced on one trembling leg
as I stare down the two metre drop
that could have taken me
Adrenaline masks the damage
of scratches from ankle to knee
and the way my back twisted
I don't know it yet
but my whole body
will pay for this misstep
...

Morning Pain
I hate mornings
Not because I have a job
Or because I stayed up late the night before
But because I get chronic migraines
That usually manifest when I wake up
Some days it's unbearable
To the point I can barely move
Writhing in pain in bed all day
Others are just annoying and a nuisance
That I've been able to push through
Pain that can last days
Drives me crazy
And messes up all the plans I make
I really need to find a better solution
Because it's hard to write like this
Not because I have a job
Or because I stayed up late the night before
But because I get chronic migraines
That usually manifest when I wake up
Some days it's unbearable
To the point I can barely move
Writhing in pain in bed all day
Others are just annoying and a nuisance
That I've been able to push through
Pain that can last days
Drives me crazy
And messes up all the plans I make
I really need to find a better solution
Because it's hard to write like this

they call the train station crack central (home town observations)
A pigeon was scavenging scraps
along the edge of the drive-thru
while we were waiting in line
for coffee and fries
and I imagined it pecking
on every car door
asking if we had any potato
and salt to spare
The people 'round here
aren't that much different
to that small grey pigeon
scavenging for scraps
and shiny things left on the ground
...
There's a family of shopping trolleys
around the corner from my house
that are filled with molding rubbish
It's only a matter of...

Raving, Not Drowning
Trying to pick myself up,
Having quaffed from a demons cup
Drowning in a puddle
Of quicksand
No sandcastles in the sky
No haven
From the ranting and raving ravens
Dark clouds
Whilst incandescent streaks
Of sunshine
Await
To break through the cracks
Proffering vague glimmers of false hope
As i slowly sink into the quagmire.....
