Don't Let The Devil Win*
I know about keeping those suicide demons at bay
and just how hard it is to "win the day"
One night I was just a few steps away
from not being alive today
My plan was to purposely get run over by a car
but, the holy spirit stopped me before I got that far
I just wanted an end to my mental.physical and spiritual pain
and know it would never come back again
But, never forget this one thing my friend
even in the darkest times-don't let the Devil win
and just how hard it is to "win the day"
One night I was just a few steps away
from not being alive today
My plan was to purposely get run over by a car
but, the holy spirit stopped me before I got that far
I just wanted an end to my mental.physical and spiritual pain
and know it would never come back again
But, never forget this one thing my friend
even in the darkest times-don't let the Devil win

hissing on the floor of hell,
you’ve always thought yourself a freak,
too inward to charm the ball or the Belle,
too ugly to be iconic.
too queer to at least seem well-meaning,
too puritanical and sharp
to strut like some gay butterfly
or keep in tune with love’s young larks.
o tender-hearted tormenter of self,
I’ve caught you in the prickly gorse.
o little broken boy, o elf,
I’ve shielded you within this prickled place.
we raise each other up, I tend your wounds.
the carapace of irony peels back, in parts.

River of crimson red
The comfort of my home feels like I'm lying in a prison bed.
Left alone, dreaming about a river of crimson red.
Left alone, dreaming about a river of crimson red.
