this darkness
You tell me there's light to be seen
if I just step outside
but I must be blind
under the storm cloud in my head
that takes everything beautiful
and leaves me hollow
You tell me the sunshine's waiting
but I can't bear the world outside
where people talk and smile
and live their lives in colour
cause if I go outside
I'll have to pretend I'm not a ghost
if I was any more empty
I'd be as invisible as the pain inside
It's dark in here
can't you see it's dark in here
(it's so fucking dark in here)...

A mom's despair
I have a child who tried to take his life a couple of years back
There is no larger pain for a mother to know that her son wants to leave this world.
It breaks my heart to know he still thinks about it.
It pains me when he rejects my help or anyone elses for that matter.
He had a wonderful childhood, loving parents and grandparents.
In his younger years, he was such a vibrant and happy kid. I think it all changed when he was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at 5 years old.
He refuses to aknowledge that this disease affects his attitude and...

Seeds Of Doubt
These seeds of doubt
Were planted
Everywhere!
Including
Window boxes
And hanging baskets!
Come the harvest
Doubt had flourished
Resulting in bumper crops
It was later suggested
That there was not one individual
Who didn't feel doubtful
So no-one doubted the seeds of doubt

A Royal Thrown!
Yesterday
My derriere
Became
My dire rear!
I sat upon
No stools
Just my throne
As my insides
Abdicated
No longer stone

Phoenix 2
storms rage in these skies
but I'm not scared
no, because I've felt this before
the winds cut me deep like glass
sill I pushed through
I saw friends submerged by the ocean
hit by sorrows relentless waves
still I kept swimming
I watched the fires
like hell rushing towards me
been burnt down to nothing but ashes
somehow I arose
memories of a person I no longer am
yet I still live
but I'm not scared
no, because I've felt this before
the winds cut me deep like glass
sill I pushed through
I saw friends submerged by the ocean
hit by sorrows relentless waves
still I kept swimming
I watched the fires
like hell rushing towards me
been burnt down to nothing but ashes
somehow I arose
memories of a person I no longer am
yet I still live

If I was right
I work away all day so
That you can stay home
And live the life I wish I could
Those dollars they don't go far
Just to where we are
Girl, I could be a man
If you could understand
Oh you know better?
So I'm just a loser
And it's not enough for you
Think of all that I should do.
I work away all day so
That you can stay home
And live the life I wish I could
I fight to keep the lights on
So your eyes can shine on
Girl, I could be so strong
If you knew I wasn't...
That you can stay home
And live the life I wish I could
Those dollars they don't go far
Just to where we are
Girl, I could be a man
If you could understand
Oh you know better?
So I'm just a loser
And it's not enough for you
Think of all that I should do.
I work away all day so
That you can stay home
And live the life I wish I could
I fight to keep the lights on
So your eyes can shine on
Girl, I could be so strong
If you knew I wasn't...

why is it never Thursday?
I wake up to darkness
and silence
and freak out that it's Thursday
only it's not fucking Thursday
I lose time in the sameness
of every single day
try to break the monotony
but there's always just me
I'm boredom in human form
I'm the doppelganger of despair
I have nothing to say
because nothing ever happens
and this silence feels better
than the repeat of my voice
that has nothing new to say
I wake up and drink coffee
play games on my phone
the kind where progress is so slow ...
and silence
and freak out that it's Thursday
only it's not fucking Thursday
I lose time in the sameness
of every single day
try to break the monotony
but there's always just me
I'm boredom in human form
I'm the doppelganger of despair
I have nothing to say
because nothing ever happens
and this silence feels better
than the repeat of my voice
that has nothing new to say
I wake up and drink coffee
play games on my phone
the kind where progress is so slow ...

Snow in Texas
It's always with me. The sense of being lost and sad and alone. The ramification of the faulty wiring of my chemically imbalanced brain… But I have so much to be grateful for. So much to feel positive about. I've had so many chances lately to hold my precious grandbaby in my arms and take care of her. To behold her beautiful face when it lights up in wonder and delight. I have a wonderful relationship with my beautiful, healthy daughter and her fiance, who is already like a son-in-law to me. I have a home and food and a warm bed to sleep in, and I'm still alive. And it's snowing in Texas,...
