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.
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?

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

One life to smile
Not being happy isn't a death sentence, it's a life sentence.

Funerality
A funeral always unearths
all that was buried
just to cover it again with dirt
all that was buried
just to cover it again with dirt

*The Blackest Rose*

The blackest rose can still smell sweet
although she's fallen in the gutter
and been trampled by his feet....

Indelible
I want to live this life on the brink
boldly spill all my indelible ink
knowing it will never fade
boldly spill all my indelible ink
knowing it will never fade

Pond Haiku
I am but a pond
Life happens all around me
All I get is rain
Life happens all around me
All I get is rain

Loose Thread
Just a bit of dread
this thin blue thread
pushes me to pull
this thin blue thread
pushes me to pull
