The Others
As I previously mentioned she was encountering "Them"
Figures that looked and sounded like children
Lately however, she's been witnessing these "Other" figures
These figures aren't as playful and innocent as the children
"The Others", as she calls them, are harassing and menacing her, usually in the evening
"The Others" are much taller, black shadows, resembling a person
Like the children, she can't make out their faces, but a negative, icy vibe is what she feels
Several times when "The Others" come...

Zombies
Distance becomes normal
Tears fall from high above
Conflict is burning thermal
In this world without love
She’s been sold for pleasure
A wealthy man’s twisted dream
Her pain is beyond measure
Across some random livestream
Is this what were becoming?
Tender sycophants that praise
Has it turned mind numbing?
Participating in the latest craze
Simple lack of a conscience
Sinking deeper in our demise
Zombies remain unconscious
Drowning within their own lies
Tears fall from high above
Conflict is burning thermal
In this world without love
She’s been sold for pleasure
A wealthy man’s twisted dream
Her pain is beyond measure
Across some random livestream
Is this what were becoming?
Tender sycophants that praise
Has it turned mind numbing?
Participating in the latest craze
Simple lack of a conscience
Sinking deeper in our demise
Zombies remain unconscious
Drowning within their own lies

Rise Again
Tangled in the chaos that was my mind
Dark clouds overhead stole my shine
Ooh
Lost in shadows long before I was reborn
I’m rebuilding my life with every new dawn
I’ve stumbled and tumbled through valleys of doubt
For decades I had silent screams I longed to shout
Strength I never knew reached deep within
Here I stand ready to rise again
Ooh
Hope flickers like twilight
My broken pieces are coming back to life
Ooh
Let the sunlight heal my wounds
Today I’m singing a new tune
I’ve stumbled and tumbled...
Dark clouds overhead stole my shine
Ooh
Lost in shadows long before I was reborn
I’m rebuilding my life with every new dawn
I’ve stumbled and tumbled through valleys of doubt
For decades I had silent screams I longed to shout
Strength I never knew reached deep within
Here I stand ready to rise again
Ooh
Hope flickers like twilight
My broken pieces are coming back to life
Ooh
Let the sunlight heal my wounds
Today I’m singing a new tune
I’ve stumbled and tumbled...

Hysteria~with the talented Adagio
hysteria and heresy of the cunt's parapet
pseudo-neurotic schizophrenia of insanity
lusting breast of souls in the dark's nemesis
like a raven in heat pleasuring the menace
haunting a widow's chasm echoing abyss
stirring the embryos cloaking the veil
hysterical need is my diagnosis
decided by my doctor
specialing in the nervous disorder of women
he massages my sweet bud until I come
in the hands of a specialist
practised in the art
my ailment relieved
weeping with desire
I'm lookig...

Sun thief.
It was a dimming,
Not a darkness,not yet anyway.
It settled then invaded my
mind, body, world.
Stole the sun just for fun.
Knowing now.
It never leaves entirely.
You just get accustomed to
the strange thinking
in both brains,
the one in the head
the one in the gut.
If science doesn't know,
then I certainly do.
Prove me wrong.
Cut off my head
disembowel me if you must
But depression lurks in every cell
And settles just like dust.
You can try to sweep it out
by...

Giving thanks this holiday season
Some of you knew
Others didn’t
In early January 2024
I was diagnosed with having a/fib
Atrial Fibrillation
How could that be ?
I never felt the symptoms particularly
Yet it was
Blood thinners immediately prescribed
Other heart drugs too
Then
Complications from drugs
More doctors
Lots of tests
Terrible interrupted sleep
Peeing like no tomorrow
Then
I started to listen to my doctors
Also to myself
Decisions to be...

Why do you do that to thyself
I can't really understand why do you do that to thyself, 🤔 for it's not going to change anything that you can't change thyself. FOR sure it's literally just a fix for a moment and then you find thyself, sometimes hurting in pain or be getting thoughts on killing yourself or hurting those who care deeply about you. 🤨 YET you continue to do what you do to thyself, thinking it's gonna help you navigate, through the darkness of the evil forces, that seems to control your thoughts calling you affecting your insight and life. Yet you still believe that it's helping you to cope with...

Menstrocity (collab with Vision_of_insanity)
hunting for the menstrual juice, this unholy juice, it's calling you
virginal whores in the purest form,
blood flowing freely like never before,
your crimson curse is what I thirst,
invasion of your hymen, devirginizing
I don't discriminate, your age, race, cunt blood's the same
fixation on coagulation, infatuation with menstruation
compelled to the stench of vaginal blood,
compelled to the taste of vaginal blood
There is no truce, this holy noose.
Feeling pain forever, throwing up the deuce.
On a grind to catch my mind,
I'm...

My birthday breakdown last year...
My last breakdown....
...was my birthday 2023.
My father would have been 86.
I turned 49. I knew him less
than 6 months of my adult life.
My mother had kept us apart...
told each of us the other was dead...
this was before the Internet boomed.
Before we all had cell phones. All those lost years. Then he died. We shared a birthday.
We never got to share that birthday together. So, every year since '97 that day has haunted me. It was nothing special as a child...no presents...no cake! It COULD HAVE BEEN so special if Dad had...

The End of Remembering
Grateful for each small moment
I remember.
Come one September,
I might forget.
Left to sit beside
foreign embers.
I dig through depths of those I know.
Not much more than what they show.
A lavender early morning,
invites dreams I am storing.
Upon the path I am forging.
On the sunny day my mind is gorging.
She has to live with no memory.
Not even remembering she's my mom.
It's heart shattering.
Make so many memories.
The ghosts have got lots to see.
I remember.
Come one September,

On the sunny day my mind is gorging.
She has to live with no memory.
Not even remembering she's my mom.
It's heart shattering.
