In foster care...
At thirteen, I was in foster care...
out in the country with a kind older couple
named Hank and Ellen who never abused me.
I was fed three times a day! I always finished my plate.
I had a room of my own...first time!
They bought me new clothes that fit me
and they were always clean and smelled outdoorsy.
Did I mention they never abused me?
I could run and play. Stare at clouds. I helped
collect eggs from the chicken coop. I had a kitten named Tiny and I even had a favorite tree!!! Nice!
NO ONE HIT ME OR TOUCHED ME THERE! Nicer! ...

Don't let time fool you
Another night and all I can do is sit & be silent
Silence has become my life filter
I figure if you can't deal with them, then deal with yourself
If you can't deal with yourself, then do the best you can
Not to let time fool you into doing something stupid
Like living forever
Like giving in and stopping your heart
Like going to them and looking for some part of yourself
I can tell you
It doesn't exist
Silence has become my life filter
I figure if you can't deal with them, then deal with yourself
If you can't deal with yourself, then do the best you can
Not to let time fool you into doing something stupid
Like living forever
Like giving in and stopping your heart
Like going to them and looking for some part of yourself
I can tell you
It doesn't exist

utterly
dwindling thought withering in context
my mind ceases in ideas and gets angry
withdrawing from the lense
I don't wish to be observed
shaken epiphany I am cut off
from who I used to be
evolving utterly different
I wonder did that version of me die out of necessity
keening hope she was so beautiful
she was not me but I share her memories
grief burdens me, I wonder did I kill her, one thought at a time
drain her essence and discard her in the past
the present knows only me
it's a curious thing, I...

Normal
I tell my therapist, I want to be normal,
And she tilts her head, asking, What is normal?
He calls me weird, and I revel in it—
This uncanny essence, this near-supernatural grit.
There aren’t enough words to define my kind,
Let’s get lost in forbidden art, leave the mundane behind.
I’ll be the most bizarre thing you’ve ever known,
A flame to your moth, a chaos overthrown.
The girl who could sway you to do just about anything,
Only to leave you when the moonlight calls.
I don’t have to drink, I tell my therapist, ...
And she tilts her head, asking, What is normal?

Multiples
If I were a mirror...
the repeated abuse shattered me
into five known fragments -
all created to serve and protect!
Paula was born to an evil bitch
named Margaret after the actress
who played the wicked witch
of the west in the Wizard of Oz.
By age four, her mother was with
an evil counterpart who raped and
beat Paula who could do no right.
Unknowingly Paula created Angel.
Angel tried to be perfect and always
anticipated the needs, wants and
digusting desires of the adults around her -
to minimize...

All I Wanted For Christmas
Not a single present in the
cold shabby apartment
in the nasty fucking world -
full of horrid evil people!
No Christmas tree or fruitcake.
No fancy fucking food at all...
for the molested one (me).
No cookies or pie!
Dump the spoiled milk down the drain...
and drink the coffee black. FUCK FUCK FUCK!
Smell my own stink as you must
have nakedness to wash. NOT TODAY!
Nightmares bundle me...
paralyze me! RAPE ME!
Holidays were always always always the worst!
Menstruation week. Just bloody figures! ...

This is me
I'm not interested in being understood. I'm interested in being felt.

What I see
My art is a reflection of society's sickness. I cut into the wounds and expose the rot.

prison
drunk on words, you threw yourself
into the hourly burly of
the great prison where thoughts are chained
by words and made to glow for their captors
they galvanise the self
that abstract thing
and make it almost real
for fleeting addictive moments

Help You Destroy Me
Driven, driven
The crucifixion on toast
Ignore the wise-men
Accept drugs
Woke up just to
Blow these brains out
Blood and crying into my mouth
Fresh meat for the new ritual
Rip out the wires and start again
Dead beat locust mother
In catharsis
It's not the individual
It's the analysis
Face down in the plate
Of self denial
Thanks and feeds the pain
In my eyes
Here, where the money is scarce
As the sun with a gun
Freedom in your face
Enjoy your condemned hell here
You're just as bad as the...

When the bridge keeps getting burnt
One has to ask
Who the arsonist is
