It Is What It Is
I hate being on this rollercoaster
I don’t like the drops
I don’t like the climbing
Why can’t I just stay at standstill?

I don’t like the climbing

Another Year Gone Wrong
Memory’s splinters pain,
chaotic fragments never fuse,
failing to create a self
beyond psychotic illusions and delusions.
A front? A pretense? A maddened dream?
To explain requires some understanding,
but unformed self and wholesome others share such slight overlap
that lack of comprehension is the sole result -
any narrative requires a thread
beyond a desire, a whim, to alter stasis from within.
The chances of success
when isolated, incoherent thoughts of one,
which failed any test of rationality,
possessed ideas of superiority...

guilt
every part of your personality
is diagnosed and labelled, and
I know it’s good to get help to
feel better about yourself,
but sometimes it’s right to feel bad about yourself, he babbled

Rabbit holes
At times, the mind is like a warren,
Small rodents, digging land, barren,
Be careful here, remember Alice,
She fell down the rabbit hole, unmiss,
Entering into the chaotic network,
Unsure of how to navigate,
With circumspect, we investigate,
Deeper, we go darker, move forth,
Quick! follow the time burden lagomorph
Were left standing still, and lurk,
Like alices' storey, the holes shrink,
The very least it's what we think,
Our problems are getting bigger,
Frustrated, temper, hair pin trigger,
Seeing doors,...

Cog
Brought myself in today
dragging my feet
leaving dirt behind
voices speaking authority
a gentle buzz in the back of my mind
shut it down and lock it out
Picking fun and having a laugh
just make it through today
some couple more odd hours
and I'll be on my way
autopilot cruise on by
toss out a random joke
hope it doesn't land dry
I always wondered why
time goes by faster
when my eye dodges the clock
a penny for a random thought
lunch room no window
chicken thighs tastes a little dry
closer to the end...

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

Conforming
The laughter has come to an end,
and the shadows have taken form.
I stand here waiting to descend.
Slowly coming around the bend
is the calm in front of the storm.
The laughter has come to an end.
In this silence, can I pretend?
That in this stillness, I am warm.
I stand here waiting to descend.
I once believed in a godsend;
but I accept this as the norm.
The laughter has come to an end.
Shattered sight, nothing to amend.
Notice the chaos as it swarms.
I stand here waiting to descend.

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

Dark Airwaves
questioning motives
behind hushed whispers
already alert wondering

lingering fragility breeds
more uncertainty within
obscure nessaging creating
envitable unsafe pressures
deluge of shadows

wether i exist or not
miniscule truths overshadowed
lost inside static

Realization
There was a brief time
when I believed I would be okay.
I felt unconditionally relieved.
I knew that one day,
serenity would wash over me,
and I would feel healed.
It would squash the hurt
and forge a shield from that pain.
I swear I held it in my hand
and saw the possibility.
Glares of sunshine as a grand design
filled my lungs with life.
I tasted the richness
of what it felt like to feel alive.
I wasted no time diving
into the appeal of existence.
However, as I dove
I saw the abyss open its arms.

Early Bird
Early bird, early bird,
How do you rise,
In the dewy, misty ‘morn
Before the sunrise?
Early bird, early bird,
Did you catch the first worm?
You must feel so accomplished
In my birdhouse made firm.
Early bird, early bird,
Will you save a bite for me?
Survival of the fittest
Does not favor the seedy.
Early bird, early bird,
When the vultures begin circling,
Will you be comforted by your nature,
& standing firm in your belief?
{No one can be saved
Unless they save themselves}
