inner demons
my inner demons incarcerated
in the prison of my mind;
i let them out on a parole
for they seemed tranquliized.
the only rule to follow
that they would roam in solitude
without in the company
of their other inmates-
be just mute
i thought i had tamed them
and a little freedom
was served them as a treat,
but the moment they were released
they ran like wild hogs
stamping and trampling
those...

Fragile Existence
The child inside is terrified
Misshapen intent
Quick to doubt
An injustice
Afraid to feel
A silent crime
Killing her mind
Stop wasting her time
Love and understanding
Vital to her fragile existence

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...

Digital Madness
I'm locked in an insane reality
Like a TV or smartphone I can't turn off
Sometimes I want to rip my face off and lose my identity
Hack open a hole in my rib-cage and get the fuck out!

Self-Sabotage
Unable to stand strong and reach new heights.
Bound to the abuse, what do I deprive?
My wingspan has limits; I have no flight.
Enveloped in moments, lost in the night.
The trauma cradles the failure to thrive.
Unable to stand strong and reach new heights.
The heat escapes, and the shadows frostbite.
Icicles frost my wings; will I survive?
My wingspan has limits; I have no flight.
Caught in my mental space, I have no fight.
Fractured to pieces, beaten but alive.
Unable to stand strong and reach new heights.
...

Disappearing memories
They're the enemies of the mind
Trapped in the memory spectrum
No escape can I find
I'm always returning from the same old journeys
Every time they manage to break me
They steal my every heartbeat
Pain, anger, fear, a medley
Memory of them so bitter, so sweet
Every night the pictures I see
A painful tear never meant to be
Is only a memory of loss to me
I feel no remorse for leaving them behind
This downfall was their own fault
Bygone and existent, and imminent are now entwined
Forgetting them became my...

grey moodiness
It's grey today outside
It matches my somber mood
With feelings of melancholy, I feel weighed down
You would think the rain would signify cleansing to me
And the raindrops by themselves would
It's the grey depression I can't take
weeks that drag on under a haze
It's dreary, and my emotions grow dark
No one seems to visit on days like today
People similar to me are in a funk
depression is like big fluffy clouds
that cause a fog in my mind
oppressed, I struggle on
pushing myself to accomplish...

Lost in Translation
Mr Yang on the other side
of the curtain speaks no English
but the nurses and aides still try
Do you know where you are, one asks, to which Mr Yang replies,
"$%#4&^^!" The nurse doubles down, slowly and loudly enough to drown out CNN (which I count as a blessing)
DOOO YOOOOUUUU KNOOOOW
WHERRRRE YOUUUU ARRREE???
to which I add beneath my breath, "In the grand scheme of things..."

Oh See Dee
The more we repeat the actions, the more we improve
My rituals are with me, a routine of obsessions
Already the thoughts
They dominate me
The voices tell me to be more aggressive
Perfection – symmetry – repetition – beliefs
Compulsion – cycle - anxiety – disease
My rituals are with me, a routine of obsessions
Already the thoughts
They dominate me
The voices tell me to be more aggressive
Perfection – symmetry – repetition – beliefs

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...

Psychologist’s Summary
Upon examination and after listening to her account, the patient exhibited frequent involuntary eye twitching, which appeared to be a mix of surprise and anxiety. It is unclear whether these symptoms are a result of her reported addiction, or the emotional stress related to her relationship. Despite these challenges, it was evident that she experienced profound love prior to her passing, as reflected in her facial expression and the kindness in her voice.
