Struggling Autisms
Struggling to function in a world that's dysfunctional
Struggling to view the face in the mirror
Struggling with the concept of existence
Struggling with the impermanence
Struggling to kick certain habits
Struggling to look you in the eyes
Struggling with the these little conversations
Struggling with the flow
Struggling out of time
Struggling to view the face in the mirror
Struggling with the concept of existence
Struggling with the impermanence
Struggling to kick certain habits
Struggling to look you in the eyes
Struggling with the these little conversations
Struggling with the flow
Struggling out of time

A Wasteland of Emptiness
There is a wind blowing inside us, thru a wasteland of emptiness
Without the possibility of germinating to fulfill our potential
Our nothingness is an internal vacuum with an insatiable appetite
A black hole at our core, threatening to suck everything else in
Our lives are essentially hollow, lacking inner strength and vigor
We seem to have lost our insides somewhere
Our guts have been removed and discarded or lost
The void within gives a painful, drawn feeling to our faces
We know that we are doomed creatures, fighting hopelessly for...

the line beneath the metaphors
You ask me how I am
and we talk around the problem
your frustration
my lingering silence
if I don't tell you what's wrong
it won't make this real
I dream of ocean tides
pulling me under
it's only half a metaphor
I'm both the victim
and the predator
Top me up with dopamine
readjust these mood drops with Prozac
and enough talk therapy
to make me lose my voice
and the desire to set
my own mind on fire
You ask me how I am
and I dodge the question
like I dodge every...

Global warming did it!
He was speeding because of...
global warming.
She didn't get the job...
global warming.
My mother hit me...
global warming.
You cheated on me because of...
global warming.
My dog ate my homework...
global warming.
Pissed panties...
global warming.
Men rape because of...
global warming.
Jesus died...
global warming.
The racists clash...
global warming.
People can't take responsibility...
global warming!
global warming.
She didn't get the job...

My mother hit me...

My dog ate my homework...

Reflection of Tears
Crying into the ocean, I lose my way,
To add to the sea, where sorrow will stay.
To see the reflection of me dissolve,
I cry as the waves around me revolve.
To see, then fall, and splash into the tide,
Where tears and the water forever collide.
I cried into a river, where currents collide,
To see my tear just washed away.
On the bank, I did stand by the rushing tide,
My tears fell to the land, destined to stay.
The river consumed all I could resolve,
My cries to its waters did slowly dissolve.
I cried in a puddle, where...
To add to the sea, where sorrow will stay.
To see the reflection of me dissolve,
I cry as the waves around me revolve.
To see, then fall, and splash into the tide,
Where tears and the water forever collide.
I cried into a river, where currents collide,
To see my tear just washed away.
On the bank, I did stand by the rushing tide,
My tears fell to the land, destined to stay.
The river consumed all I could resolve,
My cries to its waters did slowly dissolve.
I cried in a puddle, where...

escapism
caught a bus
went to the shop
bought a bottle of scotch
and a newspaper
full of bad stuff
but I still bought it
for the football
