Listen to the silence
Living in the shadows, where there is no place to go
Living in the shadows, where there is no place to dream
Take a deep breath to fight against your fears
Live for the moment to understand your destiny
Listen to the silence to find the way
Do you remember when nothing was everything?
Lies,
Cause what sounded good to you determined your choice
Your knowledge is fading, and this battle is just the beginning
Living in the shadows, where there is no place to dream
Take a deep breath to fight against your fears
Live for the moment to understand your destiny
Listen to the silence to find the way
Do you remember when nothing was everything?
Lies,
Cause what sounded good to you determined your choice
Your knowledge is fading, and this battle is just the beginning

Sinking Down
A jack of all trades and a master of none
Isn’t that what you told me when you were young?
So many restless nights avoiding the sun
Careless whispers spoken with a poison tongue
Sinking down with the lowest of lows
Words are subtle jabs leading to blows
Never throw stones inside this fragile house
When did you stop listening to such sound advice?
An alley cat stalks the unsuspecting mouse
Playing life’s game costs us more than what’s suffice
Sinking down until insanity seizes control
Lies are a cancer that slowly kills...
Isn’t that what you told me when you were young?

Sessions Part 1
Memory distorts
Memory heals
Memory contorts
Memory steals
Not all memories comforts
The whole morning went by in a blur. The two couples I had sessions with had been challenging lately. Whenever I felt that they have moved forward on a particular topic, one of them would bring up something from the past that reverts the whole situation backward. ...

Because Even if You Really Want a Thing, Having it May Not be the Right Thing
Good morning D.
I realized after the conversation the other night that asking you or anyone else to accept the life I’ve led and therefore me as a possible partner is asking too much. I’ve removed my profile from the app. I’ve done some soul searching and I can’t ask someone to deal with what I have coming up let alone what I carry with me. I’m okay, I’ve adjusted to all I’ve had to deal with, but it’s a lot to ask of other people. My profile states that looking at the world with wonder makes life a much more pleasurable experience because I do look at everything that way. I do it...

brenda
in my dark hours I keep a diary of sin
days I squanered, on days I regret
with thoughts that haunt, while I try to escape to sleep
lying there with a private cinema
replaying pivatol moments
so many mistakes along the way
with pitfalls I feel I should have avoided
my faded flowers memories of brighter days
before I learned how brutal the world could be
sheltered as a little girl
I wasn't prepared for the realities of life
too eager to experience things
I wish I had more focus as a youth
so bright of mind, it seems...

APRIL FOOL'S DAY, EVERY DAY
DUPPING ISN'T COOL
Most of us have heard this
ancient proverb:
"Fool rush in where angels
fear to thread."
My Guru taught me that
if you're not on guard to the
wiles, tricks, and deceptions
of others, every day will be
April's Fool DAY.
P.T. Barnum, the circus
tycoon operated on the theory
that a "sucker is born every minute."
Making a fool out of a person
can start as a deliberate behavior
or it can drift into one before it is realized.
When you choose to make a fool
out of someone, you have made ...

Kindfulness
To hear the crunch of toast in my mouth.
The sound of a bee buzzing.
The chatter of morning birds.
To taste the mix of butter and honey on that toast.
And English Breakfast tea in my big tea stained cup.
To see the sun rising above trees dressed in their best outfits.
The birds flying somewhere in search of food or just a nice vantage point.
And to think, there was a time when all that beauty could not stop me from wanting anhilation.
What a crazy mixed up world.
Beauty and ugliness locked in a permanent dance. ...

It's a sad day for dreams
Here we are going through the same situations, that seems that they will never gonna change, for the betterment of life. AS we slowly yet uncover that what we see and hear is nothing more and nothing less of the truth. Just constantly being destroyed and filled with more of life's things, that are involved in disappointment in what we see is still broken. Beyond repair yet there is certainly nothing, but chaos and drama and madness of confusion still eating away, at the world. For sure it's a sad day for the world and life, that definitely comes with it's share of truth of the lies, of the...

Dirty Ace of Hearts
Channeling you
Looking everywhere
Then suddenly
You appeared
A dirty version
Former self
Turned out
Struggling to survive
Your immaculate conception
Poisoned on the avenue
Splintered and struck
I had choices
Take you home
Bathe you in sanctity
Or leave you wounded
For the next John
To worship you
Make you into his likeness
Only to fail desperately
As he won't know
What I...

Gratitude
So you want it real. . .as in honesty—
the kind that rattles your spirit
as a straight-up shot of whiskey,
no rocks or fruity drinks;
well, okay. . .
mine is gratitude
because it's 100 proof, real
honest and true—
it's also handmade
from my own copper still
See, at my age, I know
what conflicts are
regardless of circumstance—
mere opportunities to grow
regardless of resolution
They propel the vibration
of our evolution toward Unity
while...

Menstrocity (collab with Vision_of_insanity)
hunting for the menstrual juice, this unholy juice, it's calling you
virginal whores in the purest form,
blood flowing freely like never before,
your crimson curse is what I thirst,
invasion of your hymen, devirginizing
I don't discriminate, your age, race, cunt blood's the same
fixation on coagulation, infatuation with menstruation
compelled to the stench of vaginal blood,
compelled to the taste of vaginal blood
There is no truce, this holy noose.
Feeling pain forever, throwing up the deuce.
On a grind to catch my mind,
I'm...
