Dishes Lying Witness in the Sink
the day you ruined me
sitting at our kitchen table
telling you about the boy
who hurt me at school,
pinching and twisting my nipple
through my shirt
...he told me I’d be cute
if I wasn’t so fat
I was alone
waiting for the bell
feeling clumsy and exposed
surrendering to the internal chaos
of rapid-fire thoughts
finding my way to the inside
as I’ve always tended to do
the colors and shapes
homemade hallucinations ...
sitting at our kitchen table
telling you about the boy
who hurt me at school,
pinching and twisting my nipple
through my shirt
...he told me I’d be cute
if I wasn’t so fat
I was alone
waiting for the bell
feeling clumsy and exposed
surrendering to the internal chaos
of rapid-fire thoughts
finding my way to the inside
as I’ve always tended to do

The Battle With Myself
I'm Just passing some time
Lost in this rhyme
While I grapple through my night
As the demons resurface
And attack me with purpose
While me and the past reunite
I choke on the smoke
From the fire they stoke
Slowly melting this heart of gold
Happiness is deferred
Attempting to heal with words
And tend to these wounds of old
I fight with all my might
Yet victory is not in sight
Nor is the light of day
So through the darkness I roam
This darkness, now my home
These demons are here to...
Lost in this rhyme
While I grapple through my night
As the demons resurface
And attack me with purpose
While me and the past reunite
I choke on the smoke
From the fire they stoke
Slowly melting this heart of gold
Happiness is deferred
Attempting to heal with words
And tend to these wounds of old
I fight with all my might
Yet victory is not in sight
Nor is the light of day
So through the darkness I roam
This darkness, now my home
These demons are here to...

writing journey~sorrow speaks
Sorrow explains herself
with a soft voice and gentle touch
long blonde hair and sunshine in my smile
a sunflower growing in the wild
Sadness looms behind my eyes
and if you provoke my hurt
you will meet Darkness
concealing her well unless Sadness feels threatened
Darkness is vicious with her tongue
precise and strategic once loose I can't control her temper
my hands are never raised in anger
in a past life I think I let it go to my heartbreak
so even when she is freed I maintain my control
letting her defend me and...

I am hurting in my chambers
blasphemy is my cult pain
I'm a groupie for your love
but you will never take me serious
I'm crazy after all
I am fun to play with
my hurt a beautiful distraction from boredom
hunt my personalities
but beware some of them are cruel
you're watching me
they're watching you
leaving you clues to the crime
then bate and switch
fuck you
come closer I dare you
watch your step here she comes
inside me is monsters
