Disorganized Attachment and BPD, the Beast Within
Intensely craving
What I’m viscerally
Afraid of
Your offered safety
Becomes a threat
Distrust
Idealization
Sabotage
Fear of abandonment
Impulsivity
Chronic emptiness
Shifting identity
Learning balance
Has been a long
Process
I’m not a quiet storm
My love and anger
Intensely passionate
Often misplaced
I’ve blamed life, others
For the things
I’m afraid of
When what I feared most
Was myself
What I’m viscerally
Afraid of
Your offered safety
Becomes a threat
Distrust
Idealization
Sabotage
Fear of abandonment
Impulsivity
Chronic emptiness
Shifting identity
Learning balance
Has been a long
Process
I’m not a quiet storm
My love and anger
Intensely passionate
Often misplaced
I’ve blamed life, others
For the things
I’m afraid of
When what I feared most
Was myself

So Much To Do
Yesterday was easy
Today is hard
That’s just how it is.
Today is hard
That’s just how it is.

And Still They Laugh
Oh, what dispair
The voices cull the booze
Liver exposed to toxins
As their words echo over in my mind
She is my freind
I ought not
My mind escapes me
Deeper down the hole I go
And they fill it filth
We share a womb
In the atrocities of the world
We are one
Forgone and broken
Still they scream
Stronger now
I lay the maiden down to sleep
Wrapped in crimson delights
Did I dream it?
The voices mock me
Is that her?
Lingering deep down within
More booze for my aches
I sit and wait ...
The voices cull the booze
Liver exposed to toxins
As their words echo over in my mind
She is my freind
I ought not
My mind escapes me
Deeper down the hole I go
And they fill it filth
We share a womb
In the atrocities of the world
We are one
Forgone and broken
Still they scream
Stronger now
I lay the maiden down to sleep
Wrapped in crimson delights
Did I dream it?
The voices mock me
Is that her?
Lingering deep down within
More booze for my aches
I sit and wait ...

Crystal Web
over the years, I grew
dark & more demented
slowly transforming into
cold & calculated
I've been spinning a web
intricate and connecting
I've caught many items
that were meaningless, empty
then one day a spider
came trotting along
and he asked me if he
could weave me a song
so I bundled up my satin
into a cacoon
crystal web of safety
of solitude
a space free of clutter
no burdens, no mystery
it is here I sit now
with the truth, with clarity
dark & more demented
slowly transforming into
cold & calculated
I've been spinning a web
intricate and connecting
I've caught many items
that were meaningless, empty
then one day a spider
came trotting along
and he asked me if he
could weave me a song
so I bundled up my satin
into a cacoon
crystal web of safety
of solitude
a space free of clutter
no burdens, no mystery
it is here I sit now
with the truth, with clarity

Rammed Fist
spirraling
downwards
abyss awaiting
old dark friend
whisper poison
rejoin the conversation
paranoia never far away
persecution stabs deeper
insignificant ant scurry along
we are killers incorporated
ants our specialty
causing mayhem
in your once peaceful mind
feel wires burning
circuit board melting
thought process tangled mess
up all night overthinking
each scenario builds darker walls
imprisoning light
fist rammed down throat
muffling coming screams ...

Premonition
Premonition
I’m gonna have a bad day
I can feel it coming on
It’s been a while, a laugh, a smile
Can’t tell anyone what’s wrong
I try to not think of my faults
There are so many to name
Tried so hard to be perfect
I can’t tell if I’m to blame?
Im not sure why you stay with me
Imperfect, full of flaws
I don’t cope well
This mind is hell
You don’t know me at all
I ask you why I’m good enough
The tears don’t scare you off
The many times my smile’s lied
Will you catch me when I fall? ...

Major Depressive
Depression waits
Around the corner
Lurking in the dark unknown
Depression weights
Deep in my soul
Clawing when I’m all alone
When did the moon
Get so heavy
A burden of light and hope
Why does the moon
Cut me so
A crescent razor to cope
It may take years
To face my fears
And overcome this plight
The end isn’t near
But my eyes are clear
And I’ll never give up the fight
Around the corner
Lurking in the dark unknown
Depression weights
Deep in my soul
Clawing when I’m all alone
When did the moon
Get so heavy
A burden of light and hope
Why does the moon
Cut me so
A crescent razor to cope
It may take years
To face my fears
And overcome this plight
The end isn’t near
But my eyes are clear
And I’ll never give up the fight

Not Subtle
no subtle reflections
more in your face hurricane
realising hell fire has form
honesty carries its own suffering
collective shadows bring waves of pain
so much confusion afrisesfrom darkness
addressing my worthiness to life
battles constantly fought hard
this invisible war never ending
counting against me social rules
understanding very little raises stress
buiding pressures that wont release
more in your face hurricane
realising hell fire has form
honesty carries its own suffering
collective shadows bring waves of pain
so much confusion afrisesfrom darkness
addressing my worthiness to life
battles constantly fought hard
this invisible war never ending
counting against me social rules
understanding very little raises stress
buiding pressures that wont release

go ahead
I dare you
test my strength
it’s a little known secret
I go nowhere without backup
it’s never just me
he knew this
I warned him
he just didn't listen
maybe he thought himself immune
...silly fool
when my safety is in jeopardy
she's always there for me
my hidden weapon
even I didn't know she existed
until we came together
unexpectedly
always in moments of crisis
she emerges from the aether
the first time...
I watched as she emerged ...

No Silence
How do you sleep so well at night?
I don’t
I mean, I do
But I also wake up dripping
Over some nightmare or dream
That faded away as soon as I saw
My blankets in front of me
I sleep well
Until I don’t
I don’t
I mean, I do
But I also wake up dripping
Over some nightmare or dream
That faded away as soon as I saw
My blankets in front of me
I sleep well
Until I don’t

Let Me Stay In Bed
I love life
I love living
But there are days
When it feels like my shirts are choking me
And everything my eyes land on
Has me questioning if it could hurt me
If I could use it
When I physically can’t function
And I snap at everyone
Because if you talk to me
I won’t listen
I’m too busy trying to deal
With the voices in my head
I don’t have energy to change my clothes
Or shower
Or brush my hair
I’ve been fighting
My teeth have been gritted ...

Don't Read
you need
no invitation
to veiw these
written words
brutal confessional
highlights
that each syllable
describes so well
bloody scratches
scraping along paper
letters as glass shards
penetrating eyealls
spreading across lines
dark emotional stress
cracking pressure points
i'm still here worse luck
brutalising unwitting senses
creating unsafe environments
had enough yet
is this not relatable
its functional depression
without pretty colours
holding back tidal waves ...
