Medicate
I used to run through golden fields
And taste the air so sweet
Barefoot I'd trod thru leafy wood
And thru the sparkling stream
No thoughts, no cares of things to come
I lived my life so free
Unconscious of the serpent
Who lie in wait for me
And without warning he struck
His venomous fangs sank deep
And cursed me with a horrid need
To be in love with my disease
So now I have to medicate
To stave off my desire
Medicate
I'm building my own pyre
Medicate
I'm lonesome, not alone
Medicate ...
And taste the air so sweet
Barefoot I'd trod thru leafy wood
And thru the sparkling stream
No thoughts, no cares of things to come
I lived my life so free
Unconscious of the serpent
Who lie in wait for me
And without warning he struck
His venomous fangs sank deep
And cursed me with a horrid need
To be in love with my disease
So now I have to medicate
To stave off my desire
Medicate
I'm building my own pyre
Medicate
I'm lonesome, not alone
Medicate ...

Help
I'm lonely but not alone
I'm lost without a home
Grasping at straws
Gasping for breath
Breathe in that rare air
Chase away death
Life is a candle
A flickering wick
Gone in a flash
All together too quick
Death is but a breath away
But once it's here
It's here to stay
HELP!
Help me long to see another day
I'm lost without a home
Grasping at straws
Gasping for breath
Breathe in that rare air
Chase away death
Life is a candle
A flickering wick
Gone in a flash
All together too quick
Death is but a breath away
But once it's here
It's here to stay
HELP!
Help me long to see another day

Seductress
I can't stop
This seductress is a part of me
A companion who's always there
Never failing to lift my spirits
And when she leaves...
The sadness returns
Constant longing
Forever craving
The company of my old friend
Who understands me like no other
My soul mate
My nemesis
Slowly dissolving me
Into her destructive fantasy
This seductress is a part of me
A companion who's always there
Never failing to lift my spirits
And when she leaves...
The sadness returns
Constant longing
Forever craving
The company of my old friend
Who understands me like no other
My soul mate
My nemesis
Slowly dissolving me
Into her destructive fantasy

Plastic
Plastic smile
On a plastic face
No one can tell
But you know it's fake
Enveloped by covers
No one will see
This waste of space
I have come to be
No more fun
No more games
No more lies
No more pain
I'll just close my eyes
And make you all go away
On a plastic face
No one can tell
But you know it's fake
Enveloped by covers
No one will see
This waste of space
I have come to be
No more fun
No more games
No more lies
No more pain
I'll just close my eyes
And make you all go away

Hi
I'm sorry for my dismiss.
Am I a hit or a miss?
Taking the time,
To tell a rhyme,
Of what could be demonized.
I started giving a crap.
I'm mostly mentally trapped.
Needing the money,
It's kinda funny
That no one will recognize.

Don't hide your scars
Take off your clothes,
don't hide your scars
I love them,
you cannot understand
Let's count the mental wounds
Time after time
and again and again
Your body is like a
book of stories,
All cuts are a separate story
I'm tired of arguing
with you because of them,
And there is no need
How much pain have you
suffered with me?
I do not need an answer
You are now like an open book,
And until dawn comes ...
We will not say a word to
each other ...
forgetting our names, ...
don't hide your scars
I love them,
you cannot understand
Let's count the mental wounds
Time after time
and again and again
Your body is like a
book of stories,
All cuts are a separate story
I'm tired of arguing
with you because of them,
And there is no need
How much pain have you
suffered with me?
I do not need an answer
You are now like an open book,
And until dawn comes ...
We will not say a word to
each other ...
forgetting our names, ...

Desperation
Desperation, depression
Fear of loss
Signs of aggression
Looking for answers
But I'm lost in a maze
Moments of clarity
In the midst of the haze
Question myself?
Medication?
Religious saturation?
Alive on the outside
Dead within
I need an asylum
Before the madness begins
Fear of loss
Signs of aggression
Looking for answers
But I'm lost in a maze
Moments of clarity
In the midst of the haze
Question myself?
Medication?
Religious saturation?
Alive on the outside
Dead within
I need an asylum
Before the madness begins

Done
I'm jumping ship
With no raft
Nobody stop me
No turning back
I've locked the door
And thrown away the key
Don't bother trying
Just let me be
Nobody miss me
When I'm gone
I'm not going away
I'm going home
One day soon
I'll see you again
We'll have the rest of time
Our sorrows to mend
With no raft
Nobody stop me
No turning back
I've locked the door
And thrown away the key
Don't bother trying
Just let me be
Nobody miss me
When I'm gone
I'm not going away
I'm going home
One day soon
I'll see you again
We'll have the rest of time
Our sorrows to mend

Drink your memory back
Every night I come home
To an empty silent house
No calls on the phone
No reason to go out
Light a candle, watch it burn
Pour a drink in a dirty glass
Try to drink away the hurt
And bring your memory back
Well I lost you long ago
And cannot get you back
Now the only relief I know
Is to drink your memory back
To an empty silent house
No calls on the phone
No reason to go out
Light a candle, watch it burn
Pour a drink in a dirty glass
Try to drink away the hurt
And bring your memory back
Well I lost you long ago
And cannot get you back
Now the only relief I know
Is to drink your memory back

Bones of Peacocks
There is this photo
I'm sixteen standing,
Leaning really...
Against my walnut tree
A blue peacock shirt
Glitter feathers on fabric
One can see my bones
Pressed under the fabric
My collarbones prominent
My neck gangly, swanlike
You can see my knuckles
As my palms are laid flat
Against the gray bark
My lips a redish pink
Highlighting the healing split lip
Red marks on my cheeks
Like angry freckles of teenage hormones
I look at this photo
And I look in the mirror
And I'm drowning in shame ...
I'm sixteen standing,
Leaning really...
Against my walnut tree
A blue peacock shirt
Glitter feathers on fabric
One can see my bones
Pressed under the fabric
My collarbones prominent
My neck gangly, swanlike
You can see my knuckles
As my palms are laid flat
Against the gray bark
My lips a redish pink
Highlighting the healing split lip
Red marks on my cheeks
Like angry freckles of teenage hormones
I look at this photo
And I look in the mirror
And I'm drowning in shame ...

Here is a poem I wrote which is not a poem, being rather ....
... just
disconnected
dissociated and become that
which is like a cage and Pinocchio
in which there is nothing more
pulled on by strings of one's
own expectations of what would
they
of "you" in this interaction
if you were a male person of any
persuasion, even both, and
always in bad dreams
fleeing
from your own
unconsciousness and
toward expectations,
of yourself ...

Lost and found
Rambled down many streets
Casting shadows with my feet
Chased the rabbit down the hole
Looking for my pot of gold
Lost myself along the way
Tripped myself through night and day
If you're looking for me
Don't look far
I'm still beneath the same ole stars
You'll find me on the dark side of town
Hidden in the lost and found
Casting shadows with my feet
Chased the rabbit down the hole
Looking for my pot of gold
Lost myself along the way
Tripped myself through night and day
If you're looking for me
Don't look far
I'm still beneath the same ole stars
You'll find me on the dark side of town
Hidden in the lost and found
