Feeling the flow
They say the thoughts which terrorize the space between your temples
belong to you,
but is this true?
I'm not sure,
Sometimes it's hard to tell..
Am I controlling my thoughts
or are they controlling me..
Maybe both
maybe neither..
But either way
I know I mustn't let the ruin my day,
I'm finished with this what if
way of thinking it's pointless,
useless and a waste of mental energy.
We can't allow ourselves to become enslaved by our own intellect.
It's not fun feeling not so free due to
having...

Graphene shell,soapstone interior
Thick layers of graphene cover my entire skin
While soapstone lies deep ,deep within
My outer shell built with superb strength
Made to keep out hatred that people dispense
Blocking out negativity from my interior
For its flawes make it so fragile and shatter easily
The smallest penetration cause every to become dust
So I adapted to have this shell tougher than the strongest steel
Because life is never fair thats the only thing real
Life can and will rain all over my parade
It can even have strong winds or hail
No matter the storm life...

Every breath
Always entranced..
Every moment
Every breath
Every step
I'm creepin' closer
to crossing over..
Complete consciousness..
The cosmic cycle,
crawling through
the chaos and confusion,
getting caught
for a moment but
I must move on and adapt to any situation I find myself in on this
universal voyage.

Where are my emotions?
My emotions are broken...
My mother disowned me...
Yet I’m not crying or overly happy
Three uncles died...
I cried at the funerals
But I can’t cry anymore
All I feel is lust, anger, and desire
I’m never truly happy anymore
My exes cheated on me...
but I gave no fucks
I just said
“Whatever “
The one person I can honestly say that made me happy... doesn’t want to talk to me.
And I can’t feel anything but... anger towards her for pushing me away
I’m pissed at myself for letting her go
I want to talk to her...
But I...
My mother disowned me...
Yet I’m not crying or overly happy

The wondering wanderer
The wondering wanderer...
Willfully wasting time
all the time.
Just waiting
For what?
For who?
For how long?
Must stay strong
no matter what.
face it
fearlessly
forever..
-
I'm zoning,
deeply droning..
In and out of all time and space,
my face never to be seen just feel me float away through this dream,
another member of this
cosmic machine..
Searching for a place
so serene and empty..
endlessly extraordinary.
Nothing left to prove
Nothing left to say
I'm...
Willfully wasting time
all the time.
Just waiting
For what?

For how long?
Must stay strong

Reset
You can always reset your psyche,
You control the content circling your cranium to a certain extent.
So take a minute
to sit back
and rest,
Let thy soul
slip away ever so swiftly.
I know your mind's a mess
and you're oh so stressed but
do your best.
You see
I believe this experience is whatever
we perceive it to be but at the same time, I view it as a test of some kind,
to try and not let thy mind control you.
Not always as easy as we would like it to be.
Don't flee from your feelings,
there's no...

Self Sabatoge
Avoiding my greatness because the world is loving on mediocrity
Preaching that I'm a God, man, the hypocrisy
I mean, I am a God in the flesh but, lately I ain't been acting like one
Depression and fear keeping my reactions stuck on run
Run, run running myself into the ground
Digging in search of my God Given crown
Meanwhile, I can't feel it resting upon my crowww-anium
& how is it that in my own body I feel alien
Trying to keep myself from feelin' insane again
So I say again to the pain within that reigns me in please let me inhale the scent of...

Presently ....
sometimes she looks back
trying to find her old self
that garnered strength from within
before life and what she thought
was love started tearing her asunder
over and over
how she always seemed to be
surrounded by those who demanded
things from her
time, love, money, patience, always
expecting her to fill their cups
ridiculing her if she didn't
she had to tear herself away from
all of that
self preservation had become
her only friend
she lost a lot in the separating
she is...

Letter to my addiction
My ignorance of your purpose has caused great suffering. I felt you to be a parasite feasting on my life and happiness.The more i hated you, the more you grew. The more i have fought you, the more you have bound me. The more i denied you, the louder your voice became. The calls of your endless appetite became my master.
As i sit with you in awareness, the delusion of seperation evaporates. Only in this light may i find what is true.
On my path, you are my greatest teacher. I need you in the same way you need me for there is no me without you, and no you without me. ...

My Truth
I take 20 steps forward to only take 50 steps back,
What am I doing wrong?
What is it that I lack?
I'm tired of taking all these medications and sitting in therapy chairs staring at blank faces.
Only for them to ask," why are you holding yourself back?"
Well, if I am help me out and tell me where to go next!
I'm buying ounces smoking weed trying to feel numb and I use this guy for sex!
I’m tired of being depressed, living off of recreational happiness and thoughts that I’d never address but...
who would’ve guessed,
That this heart would...

Rain
all this rain has got me thinking about all the things I’ve seen
the good things with us
the horrible shid you put me thur
the shid I allowed
even the shid we destroyed
remembering the tyme I loved a boy
mascara-ding around as a Man
but it’s a new day
but I do gotta thank you
for you showing me that I was doing to much and finally allowing me to see my mistakes
the good things with us
the horrible shid you put me thur

My pandoras BOX
For sometimes some thing are better hidden, kept near your heart like hair from your lovers locks
A suburban life of robotics
When your master is upon you wrist counting down the drudgery of the cart and never ending shopping list
Stress when you develop a nervous twitch, start to think in shades of pink
The lie that self indulgance will boost self confidence, shit flush down the toilet won't return again
It always comes back again to stick and stink
Agnostic faith thats just a broken cross
Hold a banner just to toe the line
Your shrink will say the it...
