Glass of Water
Water fountain
Spitting out hot water
Third degree burns
Cover my arm
How long have I had these wounds?
Was the water always this hot?

Toilet trouble
I knew i was short on TP...
thought it was just a quick wee!
Didn't know what to do...
when a burst of poo poo...
Surprised both my pee pee and me!

More Nightmares
I don’t know how to get out the words
I just want to curl up
Inside of myself
Please stop looking at me
I just want to curl up
Inside of myself
Please stop looking at me

Lost
He's torn between choices, The path unclear.
Searching for Answers Lost in fear. Struggling to find his way through. Fighting the battles he never knew.....

PTSD
post-traumatic stress
past pains no longer remain
except in the mind

Dissociated Games
Flinches
And spasms
That swallow
Me whole
The zaps of
Electrical jolts
Tears shooting
Vertical out
Of my eyes
Out of my mind
Where has the time
Gone, I flutter away
Can’t make
Myself stay
Breaking out
Of my cage
I dissociate
I dissociate
I dissociate
And spasms
That swallow
Me whole
The zaps of
Electrical jolts
Tears shooting
Vertical out
Of my eyes
Out of my mind
Where has the time
Gone, I flutter away
Can’t make
Myself stay
Breaking out
Of my cage
I dissociate
I dissociate
I dissociate

Untiltled
Be silent they said
It was how I was controlled
Being seen not heard
It was how I was controlled
Being seen not heard

The Mirror
looking in the mirror
I do not recognize thee,
the whispering of voices
only find thee,
I leave the room
trying to flee,
only to see the darkness
is waiting on me
I do not recognize thee,
the whispering of voices
only find thee,
I leave the room
trying to flee,
only to see the darkness
is waiting on me

I was born from a seed, that was swallowed by a mad woman
A place of
Self hatred and loathing
Choking on dope
I took just a taste
That splashed from a blackened spoon
Self hatred and loathing
Choking on dope
I took just a taste
That splashed from a blackened spoon
