“From The Ashes” - My Take
As a Survivor, I can tell you without hesitation there is no such thing as “greater damage” or “worse pain.” If you are a Survivor, your experience, or a series of events, was painful enough to damage you in unimaginable ways. I don’t need to hear what the trauma was, it’s never insignificant if it alters your reality in some measurable fashion. All you need to tell me is“I’m a survivor” and I will know what it means to you. What it means to me. No details required. I’ve also never had another Survivor ask me for the details of my own personal experiences. I don’t waste time comparing notes....

Daddy Issues
Go ahead,cry,little girl.
Nobody does it like you do.
When you feel the pain come through.
I knew how much it matters to you.
I'll hold your hand.
Hold you close and do my best to defend.
Cry,the tears that come out like a faucet.
I know what you went through.
Cry ,the tears that turn blood red.
From the pain you went through.
I'll brush away your tears.
And scare away your fears.
I'll hold you nice and warm.
So you don't have to cry.
I'll give you hot chocolate,with flavour you cannot deny.
...

I Am That Horror Show
I was called out and rightfully so
I haven’t been myself
Which I see my actions show
I should be better than this
And cling to the good that I know exists within
but in my low, the devil attached to me
and trying to be polite
I opened myself to the carnage
And lately I’ve not been right
It’s sad to feel you wish me harm
but an angel can only take so much
I can feel the curse upon me
That anxious twisting in my guts
The past three months
have been brutal
creeping toward that milestone age,
and all...
I haven’t been myself
Which I see my actions show
I should be better than this
And cling to the good that I know exists within
but in my low, the devil attached to me
and trying to be polite
I opened myself to the carnage
And lately I’ve not been right
It’s sad to feel you wish me harm
but an angel can only take so much
I can feel the curse upon me
That anxious twisting in my guts
The past three months
have been brutal
creeping toward that milestone age,
and all...

Necessary Parting
October 4, 2024
Yesterday was harder than I thought it would be. Handing Ava over to David and his wife felt like I was tearing a piece of my heart out and watching it walk away. For five months, she's been my constant companion, my little girl who needed me for everything — especially the comfort and nourishment of breastfeeding. It's been an intimate bond, one that I never thought I'd be able to break, even temporarily.
But after the abortion, everything feels different. The decision to go out of state for the procedure wasn't easy, but it was necessary. I keep telling...

In love with an image
I'm sitting here waiting for you
You said you were coming over at 7 PM
No show...again
When will I wake up and tell myself, this isn't right?
When will I stop stressing over you?
You're not that great, but I still want you
Why is that?
Why am I so attracted to you?
I need to move on
When you would look at me, I'd get goosebumps and become nervous
I would want to show you how dedicated & in love I am with you
You know that, but you never accept it
I'm dancing around my own wants and desires for you but fall flat on my...

The Incapable Peasant of OZ
There once was a pitiful Stalinist
whose brow was not sufficiently high
which let Democrats get him super pissed...
at pedos and Nazis and crows, oh my!
He was on the internet, all alone,
worried about some collectivist guy
who triggered him into a bitch and moan...
at pedos and Nazis and crows, oh my!
The skies grew dark with flying Trump-pan-zees
dressed up like Bonaparte drones in the sky
but having a hard time capping the knees...
of pedos and Nazis and crows, oh my!
They spent their money on...

How many chemicals can you pronounce that are in your foods?
Hey!
Ever read the ingredients in processed foods sold in the US? It's a laundry list of additives that you probably can't spell, let alone pronounce.
Look at that same item that's being sold in Europe, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, or any other Industrialized country on planet Earth. None of those long, complex words are nowhere to be found in their ingredients.
You may ask yourself, but why...
Well the reason is that the food industry has a very strong lobbying presence in the United States. A lot of times those voices are really heard, and they...

grievous
you hurt my heart by saying nothing
you act cold and distant
how you turn it on and off
I burn hot
until you leave me hanging
then I withdraw
hiding my tears
you aren't worthy of my pain
but I love you and I know when I pull away
part of my soul goes with you
waiting on the bluebird of happiness
I saw that once all the crazies
were waiting for that damn bluebird
it could be a good omen
but I don't believe that
I was made to torture
I'm good to people
and they act like I don't exist ...

the maul
the maul understood the man
the dark putrid space inside him
where empathy was supposed to be
there was death there
dreams of bosch
saturn devouring his son
mother violence
like a tide of red ghosts lapping at toes
saying more than words ever could
the maul knew dark things
how it could sate an urge for ill will
how it could make quick work ...

When my mind starts to talk
Within a dark fortress, guarded by the damned, he lies in waiting. He’s watching my every move, I
hear his every word. I can’t hide from him, nor can I run. Because the dark fortress where he
reside is within my own mind, A fortress surrounded by prisons made of memories and
madness. Everywhere I turn I stumble and fall because of my own ignorance. I tried to ignore, I
tried to make it right. But you denied me, You tried to bury me as far and as deep as you could.
But to no avail. I bided my time, watched you wither away within your world of sorrow and...

endgame
I can't keep letting your emotions impact mine
you hate that my shields are up all the time
I know that you think you are trying
I don't know how to help you anymore
but I've dived into the deepest hell
and I know how deeply you've met yourself
you can't give me what I need
long-suffering your lack of ambition
is so unfair to me, it is like pulling teeth
I've marked the path as far as I can see for you
and honestly that alone is too much
if you ever understand all I have done
emasculation has already doomed us...
