withdrawn
I'm drowning in a pool of thought
that seeks to silence me
self loathing in hushed tones mumbles incessantly
about things I can't change
fears beset me and anxiety builds
I'm alone with these fears
sacred day please see me afraid
I keen in watercolors
vibrantly painful
it hurts these doubts
I question my sanity
depression moves over my silent soul
I am barely aware of it it's so quiet
my anger burns
and I withdraw further
that seeks to silence me
self loathing in hushed tones mumbles incessantly
about things I can't change
fears beset me and anxiety builds
I'm alone with these fears
sacred day please see me afraid
I keen in watercolors
vibrantly painful
it hurts these doubts
I question my sanity
depression moves over my silent soul
I am barely aware of it it's so quiet
my anger burns
and I withdraw further

madness
a schizophrenic love story
my voices love my insanity
I touch darkness it belongs to me
deep within is a part of me
I sing lullabies of the damned
so be it
I am hated, culted feeling don't lie
I am her, the nothingness
you walk the other way
so be it
I will continue on singing my own song
regrets can't shackle me
I have none
I am who I am to be,
madness
I birth souls into being
my voices love my insanity
I touch darkness it belongs to me
deep within is a part of me
I sing lullabies of the damned
so be it
I am hated, culted feeling don't lie
I am her, the nothingness
you walk the other way
so be it
I will continue on singing my own song
regrets can't shackle me
I have none
I am who I am to be,
madness
I birth souls into being

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...
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

Mind Dragons
The dragons lie on a pile of gold
That gold is mine --
my heart
my shine
On sunny days, they're asleep, out cold
And all is fine --
my heart
my shine
But danger comes when they start to wake
Must tiptoe to find
my heart
my shine
They rear their heads, speak a firy cage
And I'm sidelined --
my heart
my shine
I'm dimmed and silenced as they rage
Alone inside --
no heart
no shine
So I sing a dragon lullaby
'Til there's peace in my mind
and heart --
I shine. ...
That gold is mine --
my heart
my shine
On sunny days, they're asleep, out cold
And all is fine --
my heart
my shine
But danger comes when they start to wake
Must tiptoe to find
my heart
my shine
They rear their heads, speak a firy cage
And I'm sidelined --
my heart
my shine
I'm dimmed and silenced as they rage
Alone inside --
no heart
no shine
So I sing a dragon lullaby
'Til there's peace in my mind
and heart --
I shine. ...

Tragic (with the lovely Crimsin)
desolate of soul I reach to you
with my heart bared
sacred sorrow floods us
the gate has opened
pitiless day don't look
shrouded in pain a woman of disdain seeks companionship
broken of hope in the darkness groans
I bathe in an ocean of tears
that threatens to drown me
I reach out and find only myself
in this abyss of my own making
honesty weeps for the truth in the naked dawn
I ache in regret
time will unwind and one day be kind to me
in death's throes there shall be no tears
with my heart bared
sacred sorrow floods us
the gate has opened
pitiless day don't look
shrouded in pain a woman of disdain seeks companionship
broken of hope in the darkness groans
I bathe in an ocean of tears
that threatens to drown me
I reach out and find only myself
in this abyss of my own making
honesty weeps for the truth in the naked dawn
I ache in regret
time will unwind and one day be kind to me
in death's throes there shall be no tears

I'm inside deep I can't reach me
maybe you can
rattle the bones and implore the spirits
I'm not here anymore
I've withdrawn to the outer spaces of a soul
my spirit can't handle things
my rebellious soul spits curses
I look around and realize I'm truly alone,
with this filthy beast
maybe you can
rattle the bones and implore the spirits
I'm not here anymore
I've withdrawn to the outer spaces of a soul
my spirit can't handle things
my rebellious soul spits curses
I look around and realize I'm truly alone,
with this filthy beast

That Voice
Thank goodness for that
voice in my head that says
no you don't really want
to be dead
The voice that screams
in the middle of the night
because I dreamed of a
crashing my car
My loved ones were standing
all around yet no one was
attempting to make a sound...
I was gone
The voice that says stop
dwelling on things
there's so much to live for
you still have hopes and dreams
of becoming who you should be
To that voice, I say thank you
Today I looked up how far ...
voice in my head that says
no you don't really want
to be dead
The voice that screams
in the middle of the night
because I dreamed of a
crashing my car
My loved ones were standing
all around yet no one was

I was gone
The voice that says stop
dwelling on things
there's so much to live for
you still have hopes and dreams
of becoming who you should be
To that voice, I say thank you

Sinking
Deep in the shadows of the mind
Where chains of time doth ever bind
There lies a home, a dwelling place
Where darkness reigns, and cold embrace
Bittersweet memories linger there
A beating heart that's filled with despair
A reality that's hard to face
A facade of hope, a mirage of grace
Oh, how he longs to wake from this dream
This endless cycle, this drowning stream
But whispers from within his soul
Keep him bound to this endless hole
He yearns for light, for hope, for peace
But darkness is all that he can...
Where chains of time doth ever bind
There lies a home, a dwelling place
Where darkness reigns, and cold embrace
Bittersweet memories linger there
A beating heart that's filled with despair
A reality that's hard to face
A facade of hope, a mirage of grace
Oh, how he longs to wake from this dream
This endless cycle, this drowning stream
But whispers from within his soul
Keep him bound to this endless hole
He yearns for light, for hope, for peace
But darkness is all that he can...

Cold Scales Don't Care
The room's cold in only the way ceramic tile can be
Its chill creeps from my bare feet all the way up
Similar to frost etching sharp lines on the window
The silence is deafening as I pull off my clothes
Up, down, off and set neatly aside in memorized motions
Closing my eyes as I step on the frigid square
Taking even shivering breathes... in...out...in
Failing to get my ever panicky heart to be quieter
Yet its pounding deafening inside my red ears
I say a silent prayer to whoever listens to mine
Please, let the number be lower than it was...
Its chill creeps from my bare feet all the way up
Similar to frost etching sharp lines on the window
The silence is deafening as I pull off my clothes
Up, down, off and set neatly aside in memorized motions
Closing my eyes as I step on the frigid square
Taking even shivering breathes... in...out...in
Failing to get my ever panicky heart to be quieter
Yet its pounding deafening inside my red ears
I say a silent prayer to whoever listens to mine
Please, let the number be lower than it was...

odd
I wonder if God loves me he doesn't have to after all?
they say love yourself first
but the world has taught me to hate myself
asking me to change at my core level
I don't even recognize myself as human
because the way I operate is so different
my mind never quiets
it just keeps thinking and observing
I hear people in my mind
they say that's how we communicate
I ask others do they hear them too but they don't
so I wonder who these others are
even while sleeping my mind spins
taking me to places I don't...

Her Bandages
Where to begin
Let’s just say she takes it on Her chin
All of life’s misgivings
Lost in the middle of Her life
Her world full of constant strife
Their words cut like a knife
Nothing changes
Except Her bandages
Taking the high road didn’t do Her any favors
Just wanting things to stay the same flavor
Her clarity continues to waver
Perhaps Her dreams need to be put to rest
Maybe it’s all a test
To see if she can give it Her best
Nothing changes
Except Her bandages
Her heart on a rampage ...
Let’s just say she takes it on Her chin

Just wanting things to stay the same flavor
Her clarity continues to waver
Perhaps Her dreams need to be put to rest
Maybe it’s all a test
To see if she can give it Her best
Nothing changes
Except Her bandages
Her heart on a rampage ...

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
