Tearing at the seams
The mind is a crazy place to be in
I mean like thinking deep
Like your observing from above
But hearing the thoughts deep internally
And memories
Hundreds of thousands of images reeling
Almost like time traveling
Then snapped back to reality
I’ve been told I’m disassociating
I wish I could hold a moment
Just frozen in time but still feel it
Imagine that
Just stop everything
Reaching thru the realities
Grabbing that feeling
And never letting go of it .
And I hate those sayings
You know the ones like ...

Minimal
My ripple effect
Is minimal
A calm pool of still water
Inside raging rapids
Whirlpools
Stormy seas

This One Is For You
Is there a part of me you're looking to find?
Seen a monster that breathes between the lines?
You said you're never hiding
But you're never so inviting.
All the while the bait is starting to rot,
Did your pride think that you would never get caught?
I like how fast you're spurring,
Beg as you justify the hurting.
Was there a plot to bury, make me your shrine?
Decorate my bones with what? Your insides?
Shapes and scars so hypnotizing,
So disgusted yet enticing.
All this time you're reading into the blame, ...

Beg as you justify the hurting.

internal
in touch, yet out of touch; attached, yet dettached.... it's as if the only thing that seems to make sense is getting wasted within one's solidarity....
and being taken for a ride.... spiraling within one's mind....
i feel like Nicolas cage from Leaving Las Vegas.... wasting away in alcohol.... in tears.... like why the hell must I be here....

Dark is my friend
Dark is my friend,
I will not pretend,
We have spent alot of time together
Sometimes silence joins us,
then disappears when the noise outside appears,
Dark is my friend,
she is all around me,
but doesn't judge,
she never leaves my side ,
until the morning sunrise,
I can be myself,
no need for a disguise..
Oh yes, on dark I can depend,
she was with in the beginning and she'll be there at the end,
This is not a morbid and depressive trend,
just a place to heal and mend, ...

What's In It For Me?
A wise man once said, "what's in it for me?"
Today, I'm that man asking what's in it for me.
I'm just waiting for you to make an offer.
Today, I'm that man asking what's in it for me.

Pandemic Pandemonium
oh twisted
fragile mind
tangled within
a fine almost
invisable Web
creating
more intimidating
intrusive fears
while reconnecting
wiith all the long
dormant ones
breathless panic
of being among
familiar settings
that at one time
where a comfortable
sanctuary for sanity
joys of
personal freedom
cruelly taken
replaced by
self denial
of an insane situation
shame
self worth
given daily access
as true faith
is slowly ...

We are pty LTD
You can fall a thousand times before somebody will put their hand out to help you off the ground , it's that previous thousand times when you had to get yourself up that has built you stronger than ever. You are a product of your own creation, how you market that is the most important choice you will ever have to make, you can sell quality but be aware quality comes at a cost , while cheap dosnt last and often comes as a ripped off bootleg . Work harder for quality , sell quality and don't buy cheap knock off's.

Mental Breakdown poem
I feel my mind slipping away like a melting icecube on on a slab of polished concrete in the sun .
A night out of self abuse an mental disfunctions brings the worst out in a person.
The drink , the girls , the pointless hookups trying to fill the void that my heart once used to reside before she tore it from my chest ,
Playing catchup on lost time , time that I know true and well I can't get back, I don't want it back , I cherished every moment with her ,
The thought of biting down on the cold barrel of a shotgun brings me solice , knowing that that it all ends , one...

Time Heals All Wounds Part Seven
This is part seven of my medical journal, regarding my ankle fracture that occurred on 02-08-22.
This day was a true blessing to finally walk down three flights of stairs to my finished lower level sitting room only after many attempts to get down those steps on my derrière.
I will bringing this entire medical journey into view as time progresses.
Celebrating Nurse's Week...

Down to the Wire
This Battle of wills
We've been living in
For Years
Is Finally coming down
To the wire
That stands
On the opposite bank
Of the slow sluggish
River
OF our own blood
Staring down
At the decaying face's
Collateral damage
IN the flesh
And the smell
We will never forget
As we wade across the river
To get to wire
First
THIS battle of wills
We've living in today
Is finally coming to a head
Like the 1920s
When the labor laws
Were first born
IN blood and pain

nerds are us
I didn't do it,
you must have guessed at;
I fly by a different realm-
I enjoy sun and dizzy calm;
I leave the party to play dungeons & dragons;
I release the smile of always suffering fools;
I can't and won't live it down.
understanding the wiles of fellow humans
is best left to the philosophers and
I'll just be that hermit girl,
again and red mountain dew as that other
fellow dork said.
