Train Passing
Looking down at my feet on the cold grey tiles , the tips of my shoes edging closer towards the yellow line , i can read the text stencilled on the ground although like the scramble of thoughts in my head these words make no sense to me .
I hear a tremble coming from the tunnel up the tracks . Lights gleaming brighter as they make their way towards the station , I blankly stare as they approach , Paralyzed by the thought of ending it all .
A train passes the platform on its express journey to the stadium , the wind from the carriage hits my face like punch to the cheek . I...

Believe in Your Journey
I believe in my destiny, my journey is true,
Ever-changing, evolving, but always brand new,
As I tell the story of us, from deep in my soul,
I follow my heart, remaking me whole.
Through anxiety, menopause, and PTSD,
I never give up, I fight to be heard,
For this mission is greater than myself,
And my heart beats strong, a power experienced.
This pursuit is my passion, my heart on display,
And I won't let obstacles stand in my way,
For I am a writer, with a voice to be heard,
And my story will touch hearts with every word. ...

Scion Of Secrets
Flighty, scheming in this burning circus
Genies lightening sparks endless circuits
Trained by blood and bone, courting inner fear
Silver moments, chiming moans crystal clear
Clinging nature like our mud and dirt is
Master, ghoulish beneath earth emerges
The souls you trample by hand we anchor
Lesser samples, stirred into my mirror
Restless, I have been charmed by their serpents
No alarms as they beguile my senses
Clouded choices reigned in, devilish leer
We are one, turning forward with the gear.
Genies lightening sparks endless circuits
Trained by blood and bone, courting inner fear
Silver moments, chiming moans crystal clear
Clinging nature like our mud and dirt is
Master, ghoulish beneath earth emerges
The souls you trample by hand we anchor
Lesser samples, stirred into my mirror
Restless, I have been charmed by their serpents
No alarms as they beguile my senses
Clouded choices reigned in, devilish leer
We are one, turning forward with the gear.

Devil
thoughts weighing heavy on your mind
the endless cycle of possibilities
the barage of what if's and should have's
you try to conform and stay with the hope
that maybe it's not all over
but playing make-believe for so long paid off
and now lies and death are all that make-up your life
you see now, that sustaining the imagination
only kept you naive and gullable
now you cowar in the corner of reality
you created for me
you can find the truth
you can escape this
with a bite on your anger
and a bullet

The Orange
In the depths again
Where black has supremacy
And all your friends speak in stillness
Frozen by ugly indecisions
Heavy is the throat
Torn by words that are thrown
When pain enters through every vein
The ends you chewed on
Hunger and not eating
The wars to come in your mind
When hell overwhelms any sanctuary
Depression resurrects
And hope falls to the adulation
When hate mimics everything you say
Don’t you forfeit too soon
This prism of wither is transient
Cut your losses and set sail...
Where black has supremacy
And all your friends speak in stillness
Frozen by ugly indecisions
Heavy is the throat

When hell overwhelms any sanctuary
Depression resurrects
And hope falls to the adulation

Bloodstains For Fashion Statements
Making idol of emotion
When feelings are god
And you wear your demons on your sleeve
Worshipping a distinguished tragedy that becomes you
Pursing image in place of identity
Finding belonging through glorified misery
Auction your scars to the highest bid of affection
Appraise your wounds till you can find the cleverest way to sell your sorrows
Like your making meaning of dwelling instead of healing
As if infection is catharsis
Set cries to melody with hearts ablaze with impassioned bitterness
Till the poison is trendy enough to swallow ...

Stentoria
Hey America, just shut the fuck up
And our country will be great again.
Put less caffeine in your coffee cup
And less cocaine in the mise-en-scene;
You know the one, with the chihuahua yap
From the motorhead neighbor two stroke dunce
All fired up for hypersonic rap
With midnight fireworks lit all at once
Since Harley Davidson's rude exhaust
Won't reach decibel levels high enough
For the requisite eardrum holocaust
It takes for dudes to feel big and tough
When the MAGA maniac rebel yell
Becomes the kind of thing that's hard to...

just
i am grieving
i am sad
and i am in pain
for things that changed
and i don’t know why
for things happened
and i couldn’t stop them
things that were out of my control
and yet, i’m at fault
at least in my head
in my reality
it is totally my fault
i‘m the problem
why do i tell people what’s going on in my head?
why can‘t i just shut up?
i just ruin relationships
i just ruin people
while doubting i have the power to
ruin anyone - i’m just weak
i am sad
and i am in pain
for things that changed
and i don’t know why
for things happened
and i couldn’t stop them
things that were out of my control
and yet, i’m at fault
at least in my head
in my reality
it is totally my fault
i‘m the problem
why do i tell people what’s going on in my head?
why can‘t i just shut up?
i just ruin relationships
i just ruin people
while doubting i have the power to
ruin anyone - i’m just weak

Life
A soft wind to cool your brow
A delicate hum to calm your emotions
The green color plate of the new season
Promises to soothe your troubled mind
Why do the doves coo so melodically
When the silence of overwhelming is approaching
I will ride the oncoming storm
But will I emerge whole
Or will I be a fragmented version
Wiser, damaged, broken
A glitch of what I was
A moment a memory
Waiting to blossom once again
The seasons are inevitable
I welcome and fear
Until all is dust again
A delicate hum to calm your emotions
The green color plate of the new season
Promises to soothe your troubled mind
Why do the doves coo so melodically
When the silence of overwhelming is approaching
I will ride the oncoming storm
But will I emerge whole
Or will I be a fragmented version
Wiser, damaged, broken
A glitch of what I was
A moment a memory
Waiting to blossom once again
The seasons are inevitable
I welcome and fear
Until all is dust again

Alchemist III
In spilled curses where you name me
In basins splintered by design
Visions of what is and will be
I feel my smoke, your breath
In every smothered line
On mountains of vessels buried
On crimson hilltops grinning low
Falling beneath labors carried
If it leads me to Hell
On your word I will go
When all the voices are boring
We hear the delight of the gun
When all these worlds crumble away
I return to the only one
With all our talk of morning
We sure...
In basins splintered by design
Visions of what is and will be
I feel my smoke, your breath
In every smothered line
On mountains of vessels buried
On crimson hilltops grinning low
Falling beneath labors carried
If it leads me to Hell
On your word I will go
When all the voices are boring
We hear the delight of the gun
When all these worlds crumble away
I return to the only one
With all our talk of morning
We sure...

Inbetween What Is
Chased by the rain I celebrate
Fell in love with a memory
Confused so let me demonstrate
Liminal induced fantasy
Wade wistfully through water's past
I tremble at the slightest breeze
A child lost on a crooked path
Coaxed further by a burning tree
Braised in lights of their fuchsia
Twisted to the beige of their sound
Painted wrong to write their futures
What will they do when Hell breaks out?
Enchanted by the misery
Adrift acids, oceans many.
Fell in love with a memory
Confused so let me demonstrate
Liminal induced fantasy
Wade wistfully through water's past
I tremble at the slightest breeze
A child lost on a crooked path
Coaxed further by a burning tree
Braised in lights of their fuchsia
Twisted to the beige of their sound
Painted wrong to write their futures
What will they do when Hell breaks out?
Enchanted by the misery
Adrift acids, oceans many.

a child in her heart
i pick my skin until i bleed,
scratch and rip it apart
every bit of dark disappears when we meet
but till then the dark is my whole, not just a part.
one second i’m at my best.
next i am at my worst.
just tired, can’t get any rest
from my mind, as if i am cursed.
but really, i’m just weak
a child that didn‘t learn how to soothe herself
with a heart where emotions just leak
and a mind that shuts down because of her heart and itself.
life goes on, and i function every day
where i get the chance i laugh...
scratch and rip it apart
every bit of dark disappears when we meet
but till then the dark is my whole, not just a part.
one second i’m at my best.
next i am at my worst.
just tired, can’t get any rest
from my mind, as if i am cursed.
but really, i’m just weak
a child that didn‘t learn how to soothe herself
with a heart where emotions just leak
and a mind that shuts down because of her heart and itself.
