Don't believe everything you think pt2
Don't believe everything you think
let that sink into your psyche
before you nestle into the night.
-
Everything's alright
another strange night on earth..
I used to think it was a curse
and that I wasn't worth much
but I dont think such thoughts anymore.
I sometimes cant ignore them but now
I dont believe them.
let that sink into your psyche
before you nestle into the night.

December Lights
A little bit of loneliness settled into me
From a trip I took downtown.
Even the safe posts to which I return,
My home, the things I know,
Have a sense of unfamiliarity.
A little of the silence I heard outside
In the trip’s aftermath still remains to reside
And when I speak now the sound of my voice
Jars out in the living room like foreign noise.
The quiet night, the lights wrapped around
Wooden porches, make the surrounding space darker,
Harder to see; December lights
In a cold lonely quiet yet quaint, flavored night. ...

Uninspired
Altruistic internally?
All be it hopefully.
All truth isn't all it's cracked up to be
Albeit I find people are at a loss to me
A little more prey than predator it seems
Borderline Blasphemy
But it's the last of me I find disgusting
Barely able to keep a smile
Balancing happiness with a bitter fee
Brightly eyed masterpiece
Certainly apathy has taken a toll
Catastrophe with social complexities
Cities built with their cracking molds
Casually I await Death's ecstasy
Cause and effect of my dead-end soul.
All be it hopefully.

Truth, truth, observation, exsanguination
Loving to be "it was a pleasure to have served you today" subservient.
lunch- I'M IN THE BOX;
DO TASTE !
teeth-TAKE YOU NOT ME;
EMBRACE !
you.. everyday
in the corner of my mind.
my nicotine,
famine queen,
act real cool; black leather mean.
you split in two,
domino.
spit in two of my faces,
separated from host being;
residual residue.
it shifts to her;
you melt into hot liquid machine gun fire.
she glances at me down the hall,
pentagram daggar...

The Monstrous
She looked into my eyes
The cold taking over
Said there are monsters inside
A pain I can’t hold
Reptilian-eyed
I replied
I am
The monster
The cold taking over
Said there are monsters inside
A pain I can’t hold
Reptilian-eyed
I replied
I am
The monster

Dorm Rules
Dorm Rules
Under the leader, a proper order was arranged. The mentally ill on disability were separated by sex with men housed with other men and women collected in dormitories for women. This was true even for couples. It served to prevent pregnancies from occurring. After all, we didn’t want those genes passed on to new generations.
I haven’t seen my true love Marsha in over a month. We no longer have disability checks and are sent to a commodity warehouse for our personal food. I catch a glimpse of Marsha walking towards the bus. She has a black eye from one of her...

Borderline
Hit me
Break me
Kick me
Destroy me
Hurt me
Take me
To give me right back
Steal me
Swap me
Feel me
Control me
Leave me
Drop me
To pick me back up
Push me
Pull me
Play me
Seduce me
Fuck me
Fool me
Again make me hope
Love me
Hate me
Want me
Ignore me
Trick me and
Make me
Crave you once more
Lose me
Catch me
Need me
Forget me
Hug me then
Wreck me
So I’ll feel...
Break me
Kick me
Destroy me
Hurt me
Take me

blackout
blackjack, twenty one
.threw a glass
the sound of it shattered everything
told you i'd kill you
typical
pissed like an animal
&
said;
"i'm not always like this"
but couldn't tell you
how
or when
or why
fucked it i've fucked it how can i cry - fuck- my way
out of this one

Dark nights
I cannot sleep when my bed is swallowing me
When the walls are closing in
And the ceiling is collapsing over my head
My arms and legs are bags of sand
Each weighing a ton
The sand has filled my entire body
Every inch of my being is too heavy to move
My throat is filled with sand for I cannot speak nor scream
The darkness in the corner is growing
My eyes are fixated on it
It grows larger now inches from my face
I lay helpless as a tear escapes my eyes that will not shut
-M.M.C

The darkness in the corner is growing
