Can't Remember
My blood soaked plan to bury the mistakes I’ve made
Has fallen through the cracks in the floor because I’ve changed
-So much that I can’t remember
What I am supposed to be
So much that I don’t remember
Who I am supposed to be- (Chorus)
The time I’ve spent retracing my steps has been
A waste of time, it seems this pain will never end
And I cannot mend
Because I have changed
-Chorus-
How am I supposed to be
The man I need to be
When all I ever see
Is how cold I can be
I’ve changed –...
Has fallen through the cracks in the floor because I’ve changed
-So much that I can’t remember
What I am supposed to be
So much that I don’t remember
Who I am supposed to be- (Chorus)
The time I’ve spent retracing my steps has been
A waste of time, it seems this pain will never end
And I cannot mend
Because I have changed
-Chorus-
How am I supposed to be
The man I need to be
When all I ever see
Is how cold I can be
I’ve changed –...

Pointless
Well, I guess I don’t really know
what it’s like to believe in someone else
and I guess this just goes to show
that I’ve always ended up by myself
The fear of being all alone
breaks right into my skin and conquers me
I’m waiting for my time to come
but until that day I’ll never believe
-It’s pointless for me to keep trying
it’s useless for me to keep hiding
cause it’s me that needs to start moving
on with my life that I need to start living- (Chorus)
I keep things bottled inside me
and don’t open them up to...
what it’s like to believe in someone else

-It’s pointless for me to keep trying
it’s useless for me to keep hiding
cause it’s me that needs to start moving

90 minutes
I went out today
because staying home
would have meant
getting back into bed
and wasting my day
with mind numbing distractions
and I desperately needed
to make my body move
beyond the act of breathing
Between pain and depression
some days feel like hibernation
and last time I checked
it's not winter
and I'm not a bear
I walked for an hour and a half
hit my pain limit
and had to get an Uber home
because trying to navigate
the bus system
with an invisible disability ...

Persona of Clay
Bent and shrunken, this persona of clay I live with,
moulded by the hands of someone else’s words,
slowly erasing the contours of my every lineament.
Flawed and broken, this reflection of porcelain I wake up to,
a product born of another’s seed,
losing shape to their kneading hands.
I am nothing more than mere pottery,
beaten and rolled,
hammered and crafted,
stamped and fabricated,
to be of them.
moulded by the hands of someone else’s words,
slowly erasing the contours of my every lineament.
Flawed and broken, this reflection of porcelain I wake up to,
a product born of another’s seed,
losing shape to their kneading hands.
I am nothing more than mere pottery,

hammered and crafted,

Wouldn’t i treat me better?
Yes, I have issues, problems, baggage
Still, I’m nearly certain, I would treat me better…
I could be wrong…
there have been those
I’ve had to hold behind a wall of self-protection
but I don’t repeatedly avoid communication, honesty, connection…
I deserve to feel the respect & kindness given, reciprocated…
I would treat me better ESPECIALLY as a friend!
I deserve to be seen, acknowledged, appreciated
Yes, I do believe, I would treat me better…so
…I deserve better.

My Worth
So much I offer:
I would be your home…
a listening interested empathetic ear,
love, care, accepting ALL of who you are…
more…
admiration, worship, undying affection,
appreciation, patience, love,
words, images, actions of deep passionate desire,
seeking to fulfill your every fantasy,
pleasure in your pleasure,
humor, smiles, laughter, fun flirtation…
giving, understanding, long-lasting friendship,
so much I have to offer
I KNOW my worth…
if you don’t, that’s on you;
& others will…it’s your loss ...

Dreaming of finding love
I close my eyes— sleep, awake, threshold, rupture, flight
a door unhinges inside my mind,
splitting wide to the infinite howl of the cosmos.
The dark swallows me whole,
Yet I walk silent through the nothing, a shadow without weight,
stardust in my mouth, my veins glass rivers humming with echoes,
feet bleeding across the abyss,
through infinity, past the breath of collapsing stars.
"Love!" I call, voice shattered into echoes.
"Love, where are you?"
"Do you not know my voice?"...
a door unhinges inside my mind,
splitting wide to the infinite howl of the cosmos.
The dark swallows me whole,
Yet I walk silent through the nothing, a shadow without weight,
stardust in my mouth, my veins glass rivers humming with echoes,
feet bleeding across the abyss,
through infinity, past the breath of collapsing stars.
"Love!" I call, voice shattered into echoes.
"Love, where are you?"
"Do you not know my voice?"...

MAGIC good or bad
There once was a woman of inner beauty as well as outer beauty, that could hypnotize you with her eyes and her mind. 👁️👁️ For it's said that she possess magical, powers to be able to share somethings, that you could never ever imagine, in your wildest dreams. 🤔 For sure she had a wonderful way to get inside of your mind thoughts, and to see what secrets hidden are behind your eyes 👁️ 👁️ of the mask of your disguise. For they say that she has the ability and power, to eliminate the very deepness of the negativity of your own...

It Seems like I should write....... a POEM ?!?
It Seems .................
like I should write
a POEM
where should I go?
Into Love?
Sex?
Surprise?
Betrayal?
unexpected risk?
elusive Success?
the possibility of folly
the light
at end
of a Conqueror's tunnel?
why a poem?
why not merely live?
create and destroy
with every move
like every single
organism groping clumsily ...

to my own self be true
He disliked my friends, my clothes & my body
When does it end? this dissing is shoddy
I want to be loved; don’t want to be hated
It’s just not enough being unappreciated
When did he stop thinking my feelings mattered?
Did he even care when my ego he shattered
hardened now; no feelings remain; myself I'll maintain.
Fuck, no! I am not insane

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...
