If you met me
would you know me?
Would you see through
the carefully constructed facade?
Would you be able to tell
a fake smile from a real one?
Would my fixations repel you?
Would you ask me
to dumb myself down
to be more easily understood?
Or would you find a dictionary
to try and keep up
with the words that spill out
of my head when I get excited?
Would you let me bore you
with every single bit of random
information my brain hoards
for special occasions?

Still (Here for you)
A kind word never fed a hungry belly
silence has always been the better
friend, a closed mouth speaks
volumes, and a sociopath knows
how to eat unspoken words
I can break you with a glance
as I feed on your insecurities
driving you insane with every
word I do not speak, just feel
my disapproval and crumble
Then I’ll be there to sweep up the
pieces and you off your feet, you’ll
never bloom little flower as I water
you just enough, wake the
fuck up!
You don’t need someone or
something to...

incomprehensible...
he said it rather defiantly
like he was looking for a confrontation
& I frowned
considering a response
but chose instead to remain silent
he wasn't looking for a conversation
merely a target for his condemnation
though the accusation was aimed in my direction
it said more about him
some people cannot see reason
it doesn't align with their personal reality
they simply lack the capacity to comprehend
circumstances other than their own don't exist
& I wasn't there to educate the willfully blind
...

Phthalo Green
Phthalo Green:
So close to Viridian.
Perhaps Emerald,
Or maybe Prussian?
I ache for warm Olive tones,
Or the coolness of Cobalt.
I could become Yellow Ochre,
Or mix into Cerulean.
Phthalo Green.
So close to anything else,
So far from what I want to be.
So close to Viridian.
Perhaps Emerald,
Or maybe Prussian?
I ache for warm Olive tones,
Or the coolness of Cobalt.
I could become Yellow Ochre,
Or mix into Cerulean.
Phthalo Green.
So close to anything else,
So far from what I want to be.

I Cry Out
I cry out alone in the darkness of the night. And my voice smashes against the cosmos. And the silence of the universe,invades my ears loudly. Speaking the logos, stars are bursting inside me. Planets are birth inside of me. Speaking new existence,new discoveries , new being. Life is whispering galaxies into my ears. I have returned transformed. Oh how harshly beautiful life is. I cry out into life, shaking it to it's core. And I speak unto it breathe with me not against me. Cover me with warmth. I have felt and climb your coldest ice caps. Life you have me made me, a campfire, and myself...

how long was it...
after they started telling you who to be
pigeon-holing & guilt shaming
putting up roadblocks & detours
planting landmines in your path
trying to force you onto their road
...before you finally gave up
...
caving to their demands
settling into their assigned mediocrity
because standing out...
...felt like being a target
& that takes too much energy
bullshit words spoken
eventually taken on board
as reality
...
one child encouraged
follow your wildest dreams

Worth It
Don't
Belittle yourself
Infront of them
Don't
Change yourself
For their sake
You want their attention
Yet they aren't worth it
You deserve a lot more
So don't tell me
They don't mean it
And that maybe they'll change
I don't believe that at all
And so shouldn't you
Belittle yourself
Infront of them
Don't
Change yourself
For their sake
You want their attention
Yet they aren't worth it
You deserve a lot more
So don't tell me
They don't mean it
And that maybe they'll change
I don't believe that at all
And so shouldn't you

finding the light on the other side
He taught me how to leave
how to pick through
the shattered pieces of myself
and find the strength
to get up off the floor
because what other choice
did I have
but to keep going?
His skin was my skin
our bodies inseparable
he was the shelter
my soul craved
before I knew my heart
needed a home
beyond the confines
of my ribcage
But love doesn't work
when we're threaded to each other
an embroidered tapestry
of flesh and lies
my ability to bend

Tainted Serenity
a little
distorted
frequency
is
what
i am
an interrupting
raindrop
on a sunny day
spoiling
the
vibe
that burning
indigestion
at night
that
wakes you
from sleep
a rotting branch
laying among
the flowers
tainting
the
veiw

The Tao in My Pocket
At rest in the Tao
undressing the violence that
had clothed me, standing naked
in the space between things
touching softly the petals of a
flower named memories
Beset by the tragedies
of youth and betrayed innocence
I dug my toes into the earth
and made fire, turned my face
toward the winds of war and
drank the water of apathy
Now, what seems to be lifetimes
later I see the duality of nature
no longer seeking to forget
the brutality, nor idolize it
Everything experienced deserves
its place...

You Know Those Thoughts (till the late a.m?) But I Should Sleep...
What if my emotions aren't real
And these are just my understanding
Of what a crisis looks like
From internet articles
Is it just
That what he said
Was always,
"No you're not"
"Stop"
Or little smart remarks
That makes me feel
Useless.
Sarcastic
Know it all
I fear I took after that
And I don't see it in me
Or that I do
What I hated so much
To others near and dear
I've seen it play through
Aren't we all just numbers
To be used and...
