To Beget Is To Recycle
Pain begets pain, how could I be confused with someone sane
So much taken by those that should had loved, so much to regain
My emotions are circling a toilet, my heart can feel the pain
Fallen tears are used to fill the bowl and help with the drain
What is a guardian, should this word be so flagrantly used
Especially when those with this title choose to abuse
Verbally the scorn and put their wards down
Profanity and negativity beating on eardrums with a tom tom sound
You can' do this and you can't do that
You're to fucking skinny or...

PTSD
I have flashbacks of that day
That awful day it happened
That terrible day when he took it all away
“Please, no, don’t!”
It didn’t matter what I said
It didn’t matter as he slipped my shirt above my head
At first I tried with all my might but it didn’t matter how hard I tried to fight
He still slid off my underwear and threw them out of sight
He hit and choked me as I tried to resist
Sometimes I swear that I can still feel his hands squeezing my wrists
So then I laid there frozen
Not sure of what to do
I...

The So-called Limited State of Public Emergency
The idiot in Jamaica House and the commissioner of police with their delusional ideas are utterly confused.
They imagine that the best way to deal with the issue of crime is to declare what they call a limited state of public emergency in certain areas and empower the armed forces, but that will definitely not work.
If the prime minister and his colleagues want to reduce crime in the country, they should create more opportunities for the poor people to survive.
History proves that the use of power and force does not deter persons from crime and violence. ...

Imitations
I screamed, "I, I've lived this shit so many times before"
Do you really care to see how much pain and misery it took to create I Is Me
I fucking prayed that you never had to know
I cried at Hell's gates until it opened up and accepted me
Hell as I told you before, "you don't wanna go there"
Horns emerged, balding replacing beautiful locks of hair
The eyes of innocence replaced with a glowing stare
A heart raging with emotion, turn frigid without care
Hell breastfed me on the milk of darkness
A many would had feared her frigid...

Strike the chord
Sounds strung
On a thin thread
You can tie me with
Hands clenched tight
Strike the chord
Black and blue
It will not bother
There will be no screams
Silence at night
My heart wound tight
Do not feel sorry
Your choking cruelty numbs
My blood, tomato juice
I do not feel cold
There is no fear left
Stick me with a knife ...

Tragic Circles
The agony creeping the dark side of my mind
Hidden scars bleeding out hope in the mirror
Fight or flight I prefer the lights on the echo side
Where time can freeze tears of the unfathomable
One day they defrost into a fog with a bright mask on
Whispers of depression anchoring confusion to my heart
Pain flows through veins causing these rhythmic palpitations
Fear will shame this guilt into chains we can't break
Tragic Circles, Chasing day after day away
Tragic Circles, Building walls around this hate
Tragic...
Hidden scars bleeding out hope in the mirror
Fight or flight I prefer the lights on the echo side
Where time can freeze tears of the unfathomable
One day they defrost into a fog with a bright mask on
Whispers of depression anchoring confusion to my heart
Pain flows through veins causing these rhythmic palpitations
Fear will shame this guilt into chains we can't break
Tragic Circles, Chasing day after day away

JASON
Lucy pulled out the chest from under the bed, it had been forever and a day since she had looked properly, 15-20 years had rolled on by and she hadn’t really looked back.
Wiping the dust from the top of the chest, anxiety building in the pit of her stomach, Did she even want to look? she knew it was time.
Taking a breath, she unlocks the lock, creaking open the lid to a pile of unsent letters, the paper old and thin, musky to smell and the ink faded on the pages.
She felt it time to finally say goodbye, lay it to rest. Whether it would ever be truly gone, she...

Consent Is Sexy
Whether it's a good girl or a ratchet ass ho
It doesn't change the fact that no means no
Before there's penetration, you must get confirmation
A request plus a yes equals consent in the sex equation
There's no mistaking the mathematics even in algebraic notation
You can use charm's persuasion for inhibition's subtraction
But you'll need more than a fraction before action is produced
Being obtuse off of the juice is not an excuse
For ever making one a victim of sexual abuse
If she says no then go ahead and call it a truce ...

Contusion Fetish
Arousal from decay. Ultraviolent kisses under ruined wedding arches. Careening to the sound of heartbreak. I wear a crown of broken nails and dress in tatters to commemorate our first altercation. And I know you like that. When I cut myself open on pieces of you.

To all the boys I loved before
To all the boys I loved before.
Why did you hurt me the way you did?
Taking my heart, torn in two,
Stomping that and the trust I gave you
Into the ground with your mud-covered shoes.
And you,
why did you force yourself into me the way you did?
Hurting my insides,
Making me do things that I never really did want to do.
You, my dear, made me feel wrong and dirty.
You made me feel unloved for the rest of my life.
Why did you think it was okay for you to do those things to me,
Expecting no consequences.
You,...
