if you can’t stand then f**kin crawl
you hate this pathetic display
this disgustin weakness in yourself
yet here you are
soakin in your own misery
you worthless pile of flesh
is this what we’re doin?
get the fuck up
remember that hell knows your name
you’ve danced with demons
walked thru the god damn flames
and you’re cryin over…what?
this?
fuckin laughable
no one’s comin to save you
no one gives a damn
no one is watchin
smoke yourself to oblivion
mix whatever chemicals numb the noise
break your knuckles against concrete ...

Getting Wet
am I anyone? am I you
just a different point-of-view?
are we all of us just the same?
all getting wet in the rain
all of us in a stream
flowing from what has been
expecting what is to come,
presently being one
consciousness which we share
with everyone everywhere
above and underground
in unheard living sound
of thought adrift in streams
mind afloat in dreams
wondering who we are
while we're moving very far
through interstellar space
Sun giving us a taste
of having points-of-view ...

tracks, tunnels, trains....
I see the truth-i so desperately choose to refuse; I soak within illusions- because they're comfortable.... like being fully clothed- with a decent pair of shoes; things aren't all too bad, when one's locked inside a room;
drinking boose like juice- thoughts of life's impending doom; knowing that one never will get rid of shades of blues; plagued with thoughts that come and go- that opens all the wounds....
worlds apart from many- took the red pill and the blue; flight is what I do- every time chaos ensues; and...

"downtime"
I don't want to leave my bed most days- but sometimes i really do; maybe it depends on the person, place and or thing- and what we're getting into....
I will rest/sleep when I'm "alive"- because "death" means that I am through; most beliefs are overhead- and are things one can not prove....
we're like "cell phones" with our energy-burnout faster than recoup; "adventure" is subjective- though overall- yea sure- it's cool
24 hours within a day- sometimes i want no sense of time- like...

the big day
tomorrow is weird for me; I've always wanted to be celebrated, like hello, its me and MY day. but between spring break and unintentional friends, it was usually only an important day if I made it important. so two years ago, I decided to properly celebrate myself. on my day, I'd only do stuff for me.
that first year I spent three weeks completing a childhood goal of mine, gallivanting around Europe like I saw in the movies growing up.
and last year, I spent three days, the day before and after, bouncing around towns only doing things that made me happy.

N/A
as long as the orchestra "harmonizes"(as long as im "alive")- perhaps there's always a chance to potentially experience more; if the music "makes sense"- right?- should a possible "opened window?"- in a moment- be ignored?
I've.... procrastinated on permanently changing my middle name to "safe"- now how much sense does that actually make? - that's not quite how life's rhythm operates....

Failure
I'm not a failure
If I don't have success.
I fail to learn.
I fail to impress.
You thought my failure,
Was just my last breath.
You're no fortune teller.
History is what you forget.
The memories is what I bless.
I wish I could replay them,
And reminisce.
It's my secret Santa.
It's Satan on a stick.
All this constant failure,
Put me on the naughty list.
But I'm a pioneer.
I map out every ditch.
Sacagawea on the ocean floor,

f**king with levity (thinking out loud)
I've had a few creative mentors over the years, people I respected (some I still respect), people I looked up to without question, people I relied on, people who I treated like Gods when they were undeniably human. I took the best parts of them to heart, while also taking the things that don't work for me.
There's one line in particular, that runs through my head, rent free. "Indie, you need more levity, your work is brilliant, but it's too heavy on its own". And I think about that all the time. I think about how I love the darkness as much as I hate it. I think about...

Whispers of Her
My heart beats for two—she who was bruised,
and I who’s going along with time,
blinking the seconds away with no regard
to the broken figure far back in the past.
How cruel I have grown to betray her,
I, whom she trusts the most.
Muscling through the storms with a smile
on my lips, mouthing I am alright.
How can I be when she’s stuck in the dark
on her own, waiting for me to face her.
How can I when I’m so eager to feel the light,
as if the pain wasn’t as agonizing as she cried from.
Just how heartless I have...

SHATTERED & UNNAMED
Who am I?
Not formed of parts,
but a fracture,
splintered by the weight of forgotten names,
the weight of nothing.
An assembly of fragments
swallowed by echoes,
sunk into the hollow of things never spoken.
TIME, split by fire, veins dripping with prophecy,
shivering in the hollow,
a forgotten scream,
shouting at empty rooms
(what have we become? WHAT?)
THE BODY, bent under the weight of hunger,
muscles wrapped in rust,
aching for truth
that is never here.
DESIRE, liquid and restless, ...

The beauty of it all
They say that no one is sent to you by chance or accident, for in high sight they are there to help you navigate through, the process of understanding what is life truly all about when we can connect, on a subconscious level of energy and perseverance. For sure life is about learning new things whether good or bad, yet life will teach us as it will test our strength and faith and beliefs. For sure that is life in it's finest moments of maturity and strength, and giving us the strength to continue to stand and fight, never truly giving up. For sure life is our greatest teacher about ourselves...

Who Am I?
Slipping on a veil of lace
Etching a smile
Breakable under the surface
Where sorrow takes root
Almost distorted
This facade I craft
Woven from tears and strain
To conceal what threatens to break free
Through laughter, I act sane
Dissolving in amusement
With the crowd
As if I’m not at my lowest
And when I sit on my own
I see them laid bare
The stitches I keep unknown
Torn open evermore
I can’t recognize who I am anymore
Etching a smile
Breakable under the surface
Where sorrow takes root
Almost distorted
This facade I craft
Woven from tears and strain
To conceal what threatens to break free
Through laughter, I act sane
Dissolving in amusement
With the crowd
As if I’m not at my lowest
And when I sit on my own
I see them laid bare
The stitches I keep unknown
Torn open evermore
I can’t recognize who I am anymore
