Walls And Doors
Behind close doors 🚪 who really knows what goes on behind those close doors🚪in the dark 🌑 mist of darkness 🕳️ LIKE a hole in the floor. 🤔 It's me again the story teller of unspoken words ✍️. What I wrote may create visions of memories, to someone who has or have been face to face, within this kind of a mental stimulation of the mind, and thoughts in situations during the course of there life. Which becomes in embedded in the deepest, part of the mind and heart ❤️ THAT goes...

Univocalic (I): Gym Tricks
I spy its sign:
'MISSISSIPPI GYM. TRY GYM TRICKS!
Bring drink; bring gym kit'.
I think I'll visit it!
I spy kids sprinting, flipping, twisting!
In pink, girl child swings;
high flight; flippy twist; stick!
First trick: I climb.
I swing—
skin rips!
I try rings.
Cling, swing; fix limbs still.
Flip... SIT!
Sigh.
I'm trying!
This fit kid sprints;
sticks his skills;
shifts his limbs;
flick, twist.
I might try twisting.
I sprint. I twist my hips.
PING! In pit.
Sprint, twist, spring, twist! ...

reframed
do not regret
or mourn a
broken heart
it's life's way of
reminding you
that you actually
gave a shit about
someone or something
or mourn a
broken heart
it's life's way of
reminding you
that you actually
gave a shit about
someone or something

the quality of mercy
❝The quality of mercy is not strained.
It droppeth as the gentle rain from heaven
Upon the place beneath. It is twice blessed:
It blesseth him that gives and him that takes.❞
—William Shakespeare
would you be cruel to a wounded fawn?
would you shame still a bruised or broken reed?
would punish you a penitential lamb?
or trample on its path a struggling seed?
has callousness all mercy swept from you,
all pity clean repealed from hope's purview?
would you the hungry...

Wake Up
Wake up; there's no warmth in the morning
Wake up; just the cold on my skin
No love; just the echoes of the silence
No hand ever reaching within
Wake up; is there anyone who's listening?
Wake up; I’ve been crying without sound
Oh love; I have begged beneath the ruins
Still no soul is ever around
Alone; alone... no one’s coming
Alone; alone... just the rain
Alone; alone.... can you hear it?
The sound of a world gone vain.
Wake up; see the riches getting richer
Wake up; while we’re sleeping in pain
No love;...
Wake up; just the cold on my skin
No love; just the echoes of the silence
No hand ever reaching within
Wake up; is there anyone who's listening?
Wake up; I’ve been crying without sound
Oh love; I have begged beneath the ruins
Still no soul is ever around
Alone; alone... no one’s coming
Alone; alone... just the rain
Alone; alone.... can you hear it?
The sound of a world gone vain.
Wake up; see the riches getting richer
Wake up; while we’re sleeping in pain
No love;...

Abused
She was on her way home from a friend's house
A man raped her in the parking lot of her apartment building
30 feet from the entrance
At first she begged to let her go
He punched her, broke the left half of her jaw
She stopped resisting
It was better to just get it over with and hope that he didn't kill her
All the time he was raping her she could feel it
She didn't black out
She could feel her tearing her up inside
She tried to relax so it wouldn't hurt as much
Her jaw made bright blue sparks flash in front of her eyes every time he...

Don't Submit to the darkness
From dreams in the dark of night some dreams somehow, changes your mind thoughts on so many levels of your subconscious thoughts, sometimes taking you to the edge of no return. But regardless of how much you don't need it, it's a reflection of things to come from deeper than deep from the pure negativity, and chaos that seems to be the norm. 😞 YET it is necessary to understand that it's not over, when you lose it's over when you QUITE, living your best life ever. For sure it's a battle against the deepness of the truth, that it's only purpose is to keep you blind sided, from seeing...

filler up
my loneliness echoes inside me
cruelly deceptive within my hollows I fill the empty space with you
but you are not mine to have
and I wonder, would you fill these places if things were different
seeking ever seeking for a way to cope
Holding my breath underwater is my life
I know I can't hold it long
I'm on razor blade tight rope walking
Anxiety is getting worse by the day
my hold is tenuous at best
The worst has me wondering how long I can do this
Will every day be torture

The truth will unfold
Undeniably, shadows consume the sky.
Inescapably the stars dim and die.
Uncharacteristically, whispers turn to screams.
Disproportionately hope fractures dreams.
Incomprehensibly, the world twists to decay.
Unexceptionally time drifts away.
Individualistically, souls stand alone.
Irresponsibly they carve from stone.
Unintentionally, paths to ruin align.
Uncompromisingly darkness claims what’s mine.
Inescapably the stars dim and die.
Uncharacteristically, whispers turn to screams.
Disproportionately hope fractures dreams.
Incomprehensibly, the world twists to decay.
Unexceptionally time drifts away.
Individualistically, souls stand alone.
Irresponsibly they carve from stone.
Unintentionally, paths to ruin align.
Uncompromisingly darkness claims what’s mine.

Evil Empire
I’m an advocate for compassion and empathy
But the recent political results left me disappointed
Now the world is lacking even more sympathy
While several leaders are illogical and disjointed
But I remember that before all this came to pass
I thought maybe we should let crazy take the wheel
I mean how often do you see a vehicle driven by an ass?
Spellbound by some witchcraft in the art of the steal
I think I wished for this so that all would be revealed
So that even the most blind would eventually learn
Thou shall fucketh...

I Love People
Who the fuck are you
Trying to fuck with?
Since you‘re nothing
But a fuckwit
I don‘t wanna be your friend
I want to put your life to an end
The more I know
The more it‘s enough
I gotta say
People piss me off
The more I know
The more it‘s enough
I gotta be honest with you
You really piss me the fuck off!
From the cradle
To the cave
You‘re such a piece of trash
Degenerate, every day!
Live and let die
I‘d rather choose the latter
The sooner you‘re dead
My heart...

Oh See Dee
The more we repeat the actions, the more we improve
My rituals are with me, a routine of obsessions
Already the thoughts
They dominate me
The voices tell me to be more aggressive
Perfection – symmetry – repetition – beliefs
Compulsion – cycle - anxiety – disease
My rituals are with me, a routine of obsessions
