PREDATORS IN SKIN
They are dark shadows, wolves, wrapped in sheepskin,
stitched with barbwire from the pain of victims
Their words, silky smooth, cutting through butter like sheaths,
chainsaws welding bloodstained blades cloaked as kindness
The rot, shepherd pies baked with pain and torture
adolescents in age, quivering beneath their hardened shells
reason disappear like breaths in winter frost
When you're dragged through their genocidal realm.
There are no “ethics” that holds them back,
No cloth of conscience left to tug
They mimic...

The Waiting Game
I sit on apartment patio
iron railing chipping
framing neighbors
coming home from work
in twilight gray and soft and purple
loneliness eats away at
what is left of me
this time of day
after the coffee has ravished my flesh and soul
and the same chronic emptiness
abandonment issues
first it was bipolar depression
then borderline personality disorder
a flurry of titles I fondled in my fingers
OCD
PTSD
and all I know is
I cry daily
and you can never show me...

no, Google, I'm not suicidal
I googled
"what to do
when you've given up
on life"
and it gave me a list
of suicide hotlines
and articles on positive
mental health practices
I didn't know how
to explain to a search engine
that I'm not suicidal
I'm not looking for that kind of exit
I'm lost
I'm lonely
I'm aimless
Everything feels pointless
I've hit the edge of depression
and kept going into the abyss
instead of pulling back
like I was supposed to
I scroll through the...

ricochet
You tell me I live for the misery
I'm so addicted to suffering
I don't want to taste happiness
on my tongue
and revel in the glory of it
I faced my demons
reached for the safety
of your hand
but you told me
I need to walk alone
I faced my demons
and my demons won
In the aftermath
you gift me empty words
tell me my happiness
is your top priority
like I was the only one
standing between me
and the things I asked for
So I let these lies ricochet
carbon...

Individual
A dishonorable and terrible individual
Happens to be multilingual
Sense of reasoning; psychological
Who failed to thrive and only bribes with numerical

Depressed Mind Vs Schizophrenic One
Gonna post something like this on Instagram when I actually find my phone my sister lost. Will be quite funny.
Depressed brain: I don't wanna get up and do anything.
Schizophrenic brain: Let's buy a mask at Party City and drive around like a madman wearing it.
Whew. Schizoaffective disorder is the best of both worlds. Depressive bipolar brain plus schizophrenia.
I'm gonna forever relate to all the crazy characters hahahaha.

Lost & Found
Sitting at the table
Gambling with my soul
Shitty cards between my fingers
Body growing old
Length of the days begin to shrink ...
I need one of them
Because of how I think
The screams inside the darkness
Are bone shattering and shrill
This descent into the madness
Is a fucking thrill
Swimming in the endless sea
It Cuts and burns like glass on fire
Time is ticking , fleeting
Getting down to the wire
Bottles line the beach
Pieces sting like razor blades
But The shore is always out of...

A Toast To Time And Self Empowering
Just stopping through on a Saturday, the Sabath Day, in my culture, and I am fasting, due in part to Ramadan, and for all Christians who are celebrating, Lent, my spiritual incantation(s), to advice you, may peace, find, you as it cradles and keep you.
I would like to wish everyone a consecrated day and it is early March, wow...time is progressing. Spring is almost upon us can you believe kids will be heading to Spring Break, some parent(s) will be ushering their child/children to collage for the first time during the incoming Spring semester.
It makes me think back to...

some days my fears are louder than my sanity
Your silence is so loud
I hear everything it has to say
but none of it's true
it's just my fear filling in the blanks
Just because I feel like a ghost
doesn't mean I want to be one
there is nothing beautiful
about being made of glass bones
everyone thinks they can see through
like my existence is obvious
yet irrelevant
You found my haunting place
and turned the lights on
and told me my shadow
wasn't my reflection
it was just science my imagination forgot
I thought you were magic ...

my brain is like a broken carnival ride
I told myself I'd stop writing angsty shit
because I'm so tired of this
misery-go-round in my head
Another day, another mental wall
and I'm stuck staring at the
nothingness I feel
without any solutions
on how to get around it
over it or under it
I need more than this
barren horizon of emptiness
that promises something
but delivers nothing
I told myself I'd stop writing angsty shit
because I'm so tired of this
misery-go-round in my head
but here I am again
breaking promises...
