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...

They’re worth shit
I don't write shit
I just can’t just sit
And pretend
I have a hit
When in reality
It is just a bit
Of scrap or spit
I happen to knit
A post I submit
Which is not legit
I'm a hypocrite
I finally admit
So don’t transmit
My counterfeits
Tear them to bits
They’re worth shit
I just can’t just sit
And pretend
I have a hit
When in reality
It is just a bit
Of scrap or spit
I happen to knit
A post I submit
Which is not legit
I'm a hypocrite
I finally admit
So don’t transmit
My counterfeits
Tear them to bits
They’re worth shit

visible
Am I invisible?
Can I write myself
into the world?
Like I could be someone
... like I could be something
more
Twenty six years of therapy
and I still haven't learnt
to love myself
though I can re-parent myself
on the days I remember how
Last night I told someone
about the time my mother
slapped me when I was fifteen
and I disappeared for hours
on our small country property
until the cold called me back inside
and I don't remember if she apologised...

Dear diary (how to be an artist)
People keep telling me I have a gift, like being gifted means I should be something, instead of someone. I'm that asshole that is good at almost anything I try my hand at, and in a way everything means nothing, because did I earn it if I didn't have to work hard to make it happen?
I also genuinely don't give a fuck about the fact that I'm a gifted writer, artist and photographer. I used to be in an art group, and there were some successful older artists there that asked me where I studied. I didn't study anywhere. Everything I am is self taught. I didn't finish high school, and...

a collection of thoughts
1. Accountability
There is something beautiful
in brutal self honesty
that isn't the self destructive
nihilism of my youth
I am only as sick
as the things that I hide
from myself
I'm tired of hiding
2. Self-esteem
I don't claim to love myself
at least not the way
holistic gurus tell me to
But I have enough self respect
to know when to say yes
and when to say no
though some days the lines
get blurry
and I say fuck too much
just to let you know...

Hummingbird Feeders and Men
Oh, how I love them seeking my nectar
making me feel wanted and desirable
and such joy watching the beating of wings
as they try outdistancing introspection
but eventually i grow tired of the constant need
to appease the images of their minds
even that would be ok if they could put two
emotional thoughts together at the same time
I still put sugar water out in the feeder
knowing what I'll attract and sometimes not caring
I'm far from perfect or self-sufficient
needing the attention as much as they need me
so we all win on this...

I Love Being
I’m happy to be here
Even when I’m exhausted
I’m grateful to have all that I have
Even when I complain
I’m confident in myself
Even when my body distorts in the mirror
I’m in control of my life
Even when things seem out of reach
God
I am so thankful to be alive
Even when I’m exhausted
I’m grateful to have all that I have
Even when I complain
I’m confident in myself
Even when my body distorts in the mirror
I’m in control of my life
Even when things seem out of reach
God
I am so thankful to be alive

The Perfect You
Sometimes I long for that infant’s
smile and sweet baby’s laughter
how wonderful it must have felt
genuine happiness
Funny how the rest of our days
we seek it through addition
society telling us if only we had this
one more thing
It wasn’t until I was stripped of
everything that I began to live
subtract and you’ll be left with
a perfectly created you
smile and sweet baby’s laughter
how wonderful it must have felt
genuine happiness
Funny how the rest of our days
we seek it through addition
society telling us if only we had this
one more thing
It wasn’t until I was stripped of
everything that I began to live
subtract and you’ll be left with
a perfectly created you

Letter to Me
You don’t have to earn it.
Not by impressing people
with your heartfelt writing or singing
your physical feats or keen observations
Not by making them laugh
with your silliness and charm
Not by helping them out
with your professional competence
or deep-diving intellect.
You have all these things
(yes, you do)
but they are not tools
to earn love and value.
They are results of the fact
that love is already there.

is not to hinder it with your...

Condemned
hanging around
like a
condemnèd man
waiting on
that noose
under this
black hood
my heart
is thumping
tho i'm
hardly breathing
oh silence
take me
home
end all
the torture
of life
bury each
painful memory
just release
everything
please
no more
enough
has been
done here
time
to let
it go
like a
condemnèd man
waiting on
that noose
under this
black hood
my heart
is thumping
tho i'm
hardly breathing
oh silence
take me
home
end all
the torture
of life
bury each
painful memory
just release
everything
please
no more
enough

just this once...
29 of 30
I'm breaking my own rule
contemplating a particular what if
has me wondering...
who would I be...
if I loved me...
the way I care about others
how strong could I have been
if the understanding I've always given
had landed square on my weary shoulders
a cloak repelling the cold
as the world rained hard on my day
would it have borne less weight
been less agonizingly saturating
if I felt my own worth
how much less would it hurt
if the being on the receiving end ...

Let Me Vanish
burning twisted
restless
ugly soul
seen by
my haters
as usless
not worth
breathing
the given oxygen
rarely leaving
any kind
impression
more caustic
than falling
acid rain
just a grey
wandering
silhouette
lingering on
ghost footsteps
affecting nothing
this voild becomes
all consuming
crushing hope
simple wish
I want to
vanish
restless
ugly soul
seen by
my haters
as usless
not worth
breathing
the given oxygen
rarely leaving
any kind
impression
more caustic
than falling
acid rain
just a grey
wandering
silhouette
lingering on
ghost footsteps
affecting nothing
this voild becomes
all consuming
crushing hope
simple wish
