Once They Told Me
Once they told me long ago
That I would only be alone
So, I pushed them all away
So that no one would ever know
Once they told me long ago
That I was wrong, and it would show
So, I kept the fear all to myself
Let it tear me to the bone
Once they told me long ago
That I was healthy from head to toe
So, I let disorder eat me away
They know me better, I suppose
Once they told me long ago
That I had everything, high to low
So my sadness had no name
And I choose to suffer so
Once they told me...
That I would only be alone
So, I pushed them all away
So that no one would ever know
Once they told me long ago
That I was wrong, and it would show
So, I kept the fear all to myself
Let it tear me to the bone
Once they told me long ago
That I was healthy from head to toe
So, I let disorder eat me away
They know me better, I suppose
Once they told me long ago
That I had everything, high to low
So my sadness had no name
And I choose to suffer so
Once they told me...

Scrupulosity
There’s a winged preacher on my shoulder,
But I can’t tell if it’s an angel or obsession.
It seems the harder I try to listen,
The more I start to question.
The harder I try to fight,
The further that I fall.
If I’m not trying to be perfect,
Am I trying at all?
And am I trying too hard,
Or not trying enough?
Is it an intrusive thought,
Or is it calling out a bluff?
I know I’m supposed to be happy,
But I only feel safe in the hurt.
If I’m...
But I can’t tell if it’s an angel or obsession.
It seems the harder I try to listen,
The more I start to question.
The harder I try to fight,
The further that I fall.
If I’m not trying to be perfect,
Am I trying at all?
And am I trying too hard,
Or not trying enough?
Is it an intrusive thought,
Or is it calling out a bluff?
I know I’m supposed to be happy,
But I only feel safe in the hurt.
If I’m...

A Penlight
Cancel out the darkness
learning to read
what might be remembered
with a penlight
silencing the echoes
with a magic marker
until you get your sight back
from exploring the unknown
walking alone
with a penlight
listening to your awareness
learning to read

O.C.D I Think...
Recently,
recent behaviors
lead me to
believe,
I
may
have
OCD.
Racing thoughts,
fill my head,
I need it...
bad...
I
think
it's
OCD.
Manifesting
it's own,
unique
kind of
energy.
I
think
it's
OCD.
Undiagnosed,
need to
get
checked out...
It
might
be
OCD.
Oh,
I caught
myself
obsessing again...
About
the
same, ...

Derailed
I awake for the day
anxiety I do not feel
For a moment, the thoughts
are empty
Go for a walk, visit with friends,
be productive, enjoy the day
With coffee in hand,
I start to plan
A random thought appears,
making itself known
My mind starts to obsess,
pain in the chest
So it begins
down the spiral
I go
Heart rate rises,
fluttering chest begins
Dizziness takes hold,
it will pass I'm told
The edge of the bed
I begin to enter my head
...

The Hole
down the rabbit hole I go,
as my thoughts take control,
what will I find
In this hole of mine
the thoughts never end,
is the common trend
my mind is full of fear,
that is all I hear
Let me go! Let me go!
I am trapped in this hole
Mistakes I cannot escape,
let me go! let me go!
I need a new space
as my thoughts take control,
what will I find
In this hole of mine
the thoughts never end,
is the common trend
my mind is full of fear,
that is all I hear
Let me go! Let me go!
I am trapped in this hole
Mistakes I cannot escape,
let me go! let me go!
I need a new space

A Brief Glimpse Of Neurodivergence Appears Like A Shaft Of Light In The Photon-Starved Darkness
A world waiting to shatter,
high definition pictures of the atmosphere
pregnant with the crimson bruises
of temporal estrangement
motions destructive
isolation seductive
into the mind's vibrating eye
I journey
a portent of shuddering violence
manifests as a ferocious gristle of fear
torn from this cowardly shipwreck of a soul
and left to rot in the full wicked smile
of the serrated sunlight;
a harmony
turned into stench

Slowburn
I’ve been noticing
How fkn exhausting it is to
Be the particular way that I am
About things being done
The right way
And I’ve
Been wanting
For a life of higher luxury
To pamper myself with status
Adorning myself with
Earthly desires
Filling the
Void
That stares back
I usually do it with music
Rap has been bumping
To my heartbeat and
Keeping me going
While arousing
Me too
Consuming the
Things I can have because
Right now...

Night Terrors
A night terror a night keeps sleep out of sight.
I hardly sleep and when I do I often dream of murdering you
not out of wanting or even need.
These thoughts and dreams will just never leave.
Every night I take a pill,
in the hope of sleeping sound and still.
But to the horror of my mind, what's in my brain is the slaughter.
stabbing, ripping, thrashing about
ill scream in alarm of that there's no doubt
smash my head into the wall or make a great fall.
At this point, I just don't sleep at all.
I hardly sleep and when I do I often dream of murdering you

smash my head into the wall or make a great fall.
