I am
I am an alcoholic
I am an addict
In every possible way
I do not know how to live in moderation, I binge and abuse anything and everything
I do not know how to breathe in moderation, my therapist said that’s a panic attack.
I buy a bag or bottle/ whatever is available I’m not picky, it ends up being 8 grams in 3 days, 8 bottle in 3 days
I crash my car
I avoid getting a dui

The Flowers
I've known 1,000 crooks
Read 10,000 books
I still like my whiskey with sour
I took 500 aims
At my 5,000,000,000 blames
As I sit all alone at the fire
My hands are now cold
But my heart it's still bold
Waiting on some newfound desire
If I don't think quick
I just might miss
My opportunity to fuck up the flowers
I'm so good at fuckin up the flowers
It's been 700 months
I met 31 monks
Not one of them had a thing to say
I took 20,000 baths
To clean one shiny ass
Won't you give it a kiss...

Assimilation complete
A disease courses through the veins
Corrupting every molecule
Infecting the synapses of the brain
This sickness wants to rule
Control every fiber
Till you're caught in its web
Waiting to be devoured
Comes on slow
Like the mist around midnight
Then rapidly steals
Your perception and insight
Assimilation complete
No longer a man
You're just a drunk
Who can't even stand
Corrupting every molecule
Infecting the synapses of the brain
This sickness wants to rule
Control every fiber
Till you're caught in its web
Waiting to be devoured
Comes on slow
Like the mist around midnight
Then rapidly steals
Your perception and insight
Assimilation complete
No longer a man
You're just a drunk
Who can't even stand

f**ked Up Self Love
I couldn’t get out of the spiral
I’m sorry
Please
It was just a bad day
I’m sorry
Please
It was just a bad day

humiliation
she went from room to room’ she says,
laughing a bit with her phone in her hand,
the viral video playing,
‘fucking each of them in turn.’
she points at the screen and talks about how
they’ve lined up with their buttocks out,
encouraging her to eat them.
50 soldiers on
a 20-something girl…
you think ‘you’re such a prude,
it might be her kink after all…’
but somehow you keep picturing a doe
that once would have trembled to know
what lay in store for it
or a girl who was trained
to find...

I Cut Myself and Thought of You
That's the kind of relationship we have
Mundane household chore
Blade went too far, just a slice
Clean, surgical in nature
It was that kind of week
Unsettling
It's not so bad though
I have you to share my pain
You appreciate gore and perversity
Unintentional
Had it been self harm
Well, there's always tomorrow
Mundane household chore
Blade went too far, just a slice
Clean, surgical in nature
It was that kind of week
Unsettling
It's not so bad though
I have you to share my pain
You appreciate gore and perversity
Unintentional
Had it been self harm
Well, there's always tomorrow

Fearless
Self hatred is an exceptionally stupid practice
It's like siphoning fuel from your own car
Or throwing out your loaded plate
at the end of a sumptuous buffet line
Over guarding one's ego
Is wearing vise-like constrictive tight protective gear
with the insistence it is keeping you safe
It's an overzealous gatekeeper
turning away your own party guests
self hatred borrows from death
darkening one's life with each debit
wishing away days
that will be desperately
wished for later
Negativity
is that friend...
It's like siphoning fuel from your own car

Dark Past
There were cuts on my wrist,
I can still see the scars.
Like white powder lines,
separated like stars.
They’ve been written and scribbled,
chewed on and nibbled,
by the 2-year-old in my heart.
But the dark sky would be less bright,
without its stars.
I can still see the scars.
Like white powder lines,
separated like stars.
They’ve been written and scribbled,
chewed on and nibbled,
by the 2-year-old in my heart.
But the dark sky would be less bright,
without its stars.

All There Is
Once forgiven, twice removed
I never begged or played nice before
What makes you think
This time will be any different??
Starts out slow
Then it bites through
You pick up the pace
Scared and excited
Caught between wanting to stop
And wanting it to end
Tired
Too afraid to stop
Swimming for survival
Never needed a friend
Just a hand,
just another trying to live
For anything better
Once forgiven, twice removed
I never begged or played nice before
Strike a match and watch the flame ...
I never begged or played nice before
What makes you think
This time will be any different??
Starts out slow
Then it bites through
You pick up the pace
Scared and excited
Caught between wanting to stop
And wanting it to end
Tired
Too afraid to stop
Swimming for survival
Never needed a friend
Just a hand,
just another trying to live
For anything better
Once forgiven, twice removed
I never begged or played nice before
Strike a match and watch the flame ...

Time
Cut out salt cut out fat 151 over 97
Can't figure out how to get back
Run 3 miles a day at least for years
Come to find
I've been caught in arrears
Learned to breath when times got tough
These things in my head that turn me on
Still to this day trying to turn them off
Cut out sugar cut out booze pre-diabetic
Time to choose
Between those comforts
What I'm willing to lose
Guess you could say I'm a greedy bastard
I assaulted myself I committed the crime
So I'll make an appointment with the doctor
Now I...
