Broken wifi

The Wi-Fi is broken!
They broke the Wi-Fi!
Pending downloads.
As it craves for more.
Closed eyes.
Transmission blocked.
Finished.
It is all over!
Broken software!

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

These chains

Get these chains out of me!
I want to dissolve!
A color in the painting,
A note in the accord,
A string in the harp,
Breathe!
Feel it all!
Mean dark veil!
Burden of slavery!

Shards

When i reflected
Upon the last year
I found the mirror
Cracked
Wherein lay
A myriad of distorted memories
Upon every broken shard
As parts of me
Lay scattered
Upon the wasteland
Of my existence

Fragile Existence

life is paper thin
a little tear
changes everything

Lifetime

Life neither remembers nor forgets
It is valueless to itself
It doesn't care about you
Don't you see how easily it leaves the room when you need it during those trying times?

Life’s Cord

Held onto the umbilical cord,
Crawling out from my mother’s womb,
Only to truckle,
Crawling into the womb of your will,
Strangled by life’s cord.

Checking Out

I can't think anymore
My head is a room swarming with cockroaches
Can you please exterminate me?

Midnight Exhalations

Suffocated soul
Wings clipped...needing a moment
A mockingbird's breath

Cocooned

My butterfly wings
Have been clipped
And thus
Ive been returned
To my cocoon
Unable
To freely fly
Confined
Reminiscing on the times
When i at least
Had legs

Life

All this life
And all of its nagging.

Pot t’ piss in

Ain’t got a pot
T’ piss in
No I ain’t
Nor a bed
Or credit card
To lend
My friend
