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

Your cuticles are sexy
She was a cutie
Young, hot and had an extraordinary appetite for sex
She knew her way around my body and knew what I enjoyed
There was just one problem...
She had a disgusting habit of frequently and repeatedly gnawing on her skin
Most of the time it was her cuticles or her hand
The area would become red & raw
Many times the affected area would bleed
She had a disease called Dermatophagia
In the beginning of our time together it wasn't bad
After several months her hands looked like someone cut & chopped her skin up with a...

alter
my sorrow wanes then peaks
no control for it, it grows
my soul grieves for broken days
the ones that alienated me from my friends
seeking shelter in excuses
They don't understand
if they knew I was in so much pain
it they felt on their skin
maybe we'd meet eye to eye
a tortured existence is my lot
anxiety turns and panic attacks leave me lost
in a maze of strange faces
chasing me home
where demons taunt
my sacredness, my only safety
tainted never my mental illness...

hangman's scaffold
neurodivergent people can
be tall, thin, brilliant, O
and work a pair C
of fuck-me D
heels
so
very
well
that normative thinkers
forget that we can't actually
deal with breaks in the patterns.
I’m in the audience cheering this time.

Do you have compassion
I will always follow you to the end of time, for I will follow you in my need to sustain my life, for I will follow you as you have inspire me to think for thyself 🤔 in all my life situations, that seems to have me feeling like I'm drowning, in the sea of death and fear. 😨 For sure I will always follow you, as my thoughts become dangerous, to my own well being. 😞 For sure I will follow you as my life, becomes filled with nothing but confusion, and negative vibes, driving 😕 me on a two way street, yet going the wrong way. 😕 AS if I got a death wish that...

Pedal to the Metal
California - Southbound One-O-One
Pedal to the medal, enjoying the scene
The Pacific Ocean is blue and sparkling
Top down, cool breeze, living the dream
The heart beats faster as the engine roars
But at top speeds it takes a lot of nerves
There’s a thrill that hangs in the balance
As tires screech on those treacherous curves
Though there may be warning signs everywhere
The driver may ignore them with a little smug
Because no matter what others will caution or say
The excitement of velocity is like a drug
...

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

keeping Self in check
one of the most difficult...
...& most valuable...
lessons I've had to learn in healing
is not letting my own wounds
become someone else's damage
turning the sharp edge of my pain
...away
because emotional injury...
...is something we cannot undo
& apologies don't mend the ache
the scar will always remain
just as mine exist
so too will theirs
& what if...
mine was one strike too many...

Hypertrichosis and cola
Phimosis,
cirrhosis or
osteoporosis,
however,
a nevermoredyingosis
is the main disease.
Bursitis,
sinusitis or
rhinitis,
just like that,
the completestupidititis
is the endemic disease.
