Demon Possession
I am biding for the night
This old village's caged with fright
Crazy tides upon my mind, I had to call the law
I'm on solitary ways
Driven by a Sabbath's haze
At the gateway, my own funeral is what I saw
Visions of a burning guide in fields of war
Lead me to an abandoned church, undo the door
I'm getting branded by purgatory in desert pain
Forgotten children of the seas can rise again
Twisted bibles in the soil
Praying maidens standing royal
By the sound of demon bell, breaks their celibacy
My sands of...

A Magician's Masterpiece
I have to remind myself at times, what I think isn't what I know, and what I know isn't what it seems....
What I perceive isn't reality, but a figment of a dream. The best illusionist I have ever seen, will always have to be the magician inside of me.
A habitual liar that I may be, constantly denying what it is I see.
Instead of accepting facts and reality, I'd rather embrace a vague fantasy.
Day by day and thought by thought, I paint pictures by blending colors from what I've got.

Self-Esteem
A woman standing in the mirror yelling,
"Where were you when I needed you?!"
"Where were you when I needed you?!"

My Values
I value compassion over shaming others. I try to listen and never judge. Everyone has their lot in life, let's just put it that way.
I value meeting people where they're at, not forcing them to where they could be. I think in order to truly change someone is to get in the mud with them. Not to do what manipulative people like Lenny did, saying I have a victim mentality. I've learned screaming and saying trite generic sayings like "don't give up!" or "be positive" won't help anyone. I know this from personal experience. Had a girl in a support group even thank...

The Illusion of Medication
This sanctuary is an illusion of internal peace.
Enticing me with hopes of an eternal peace.
This sanctity that I feel eases me temporarily.
Yet I understand that it is merely temporary.
I am sad and alone as I write this,
yet I am free as I write and create.
I vainly hope someday that eternal peace comes.
Yet I understand that will never be.
Psychosis has destroyed me leaving me in ruins.
Yet there is an internal glow that exists.
A heartbeat thunders from within
and I know I am still alive while...
Enticing me with hopes of an eternal peace.

Yet I understand that it is merely temporary.
I am sad and alone as I write this,
yet I am free as I write and create.

Yet I understand that will never be.

The Roles I Played and Made
Upon taking my first breath when I came into this world
The mask I wore was a blank canvas of innocence
What transpired between then and now has been a whirl
A rollercoaster ride of both harmony and dissonance
I’ve been a liar
Stabbed and fired
I walked barefoot over the pyre just to get my point across
Then it was moot and dire
But I grew tired
Of mourning over things I couldn’t control and counted as a loss
Over the years I’ve been through plenty of mischief and mayhem
But the facades I wore became the faces to different...

Being Paula
Cold & Cold-hearted.
Lonely & Alone.
Thinking. Fearing.
Wishing. Trying.
Hoping. Hungry.
Pained. Pale.
Dead to myself.
Just being Paula.

No uncertain terms (simply confounding)
Harsh asymmetrical contour following dislocated noncontextual departure.
Roaming, haphazardly choreographed with precise misaligned determination.
Mindfully staggering indistinguishable purpose consistently, in linear circumnavigation.
A matter of process, a state of perpetual traversal, saves from permanence.
The ad infinitum of specificity is quantum, the superposition allowing consistent continuity while indelibly transposing by observance.
Redundant to its operation, yet necessary in its function.
Leaving spaces unfilled by way of impetus, whilst evidently...

I bait my own trap
I'll wait for myself to walk in and trip the mine

Let them be alien
Mouthfuls of mindfulness
invading my senses
inhaling , patience complacence
what is this foul fragrance
unfamiliar, alien
yet verbatim
a sleepless ultimatum
or let them be alien?

Anonymous Energy
I was formed from a seed of desperation.
Written and scarred upon my skin, upon my temperament.
Upon my disposition.
I wear it like a crown for all to see.
Look upon my face and recognise me.
The face of nothing.
The face of no one.
Unseen.
The face of many generations of many entities.
None belong to me.
Borrowed atoms, borrowed genes.
Just light anonymous energy.
Don't you see? The parade?
Quickly!
Don, your hat! Your Gloves! Your Hair!
Your Identity.
Unseen.
The face of no one.
