Misdirected Anger
His hand on her thigh..
Another rant on politics
Animal hunger in his eyes..
A yelp
"The world's a hypocrite!"
Every look of want she gets...
Some only think but others demand
She stands alone
Naked
Waiting for any man's command
Loss of control
Too small to fight
Power and confidence
Masters swell inside
Try not to let them loose again
Become
Become
They beckon
As a mirror shows rot
Do not
Become this demon
Do not.
Do not.

The Girl in the Window - Part I
Hello?..
I see you appear and vanish ever so slow.
Can you see me?
Can you believe me?
-
Dad?
You have to believe me!
My mind is a mess but my eyes are perfectly fine!
-
I need to rest... he says...
One illness does not make me sick all over...
I feel fine.
These pills are dragging me down. Pulling me under.
I feel fine!!
One last peek before I attempt to sleep.
The girl is gone.
...
In her place stands a towering monster.
The next door neighbour. Widow.
I...

Bigger Fish
Darkness before I flip the light
Ties so tight I can feel my plight
Anger coursing
Mind racing for an out
Wrist cracking
Bones breaking
I don't see a bow
So you think
You got the drop
Dipped and split
Compromised
Our mind
Splattered a spirit
Ha
Go ahead and kill me
You fuckin clit
Without an orgasm
You fuckin bitch
I may be tied
Helpless
Drugged
Down here
Don't think I won't
Get loose
And eat you
My dear
...

The Boneyard
We lay mangled
By some unseen hand
Well, I saw it
I don’t know if you did
Did you see your lion?
I turn my head
I can’t make eye contact
You walk away
Always stronger than I
No one can see what we carry
No one can see what we hold
It is as dark as the darkest night
I know, cliché right?
But really…
Some dark nights offer respite
When the lions don’t come
But some dark nights just let them come
Who’s really in charge?
I can’t raise my arms
I can’t move my legs
So, I surely cannot walk away ...
By some unseen hand
Well, I saw it
I don’t know if you did
Did you see your lion?
I turn my head
I can’t make eye contact

Always stronger than I
No one can see what we carry
No one can see what we hold
It is as dark as the darkest night
I know, cliché right?
But really…
Some dark nights offer respite
When the lions don’t come
But some dark nights just let them come
Who’s really in charge?
I can’t raise my arms
I can’t move my legs
So, I surely cannot walk away ...

To Burn [Alan]
You had 30 years
To show me love
30 years to be
My big brother
Instead
I don’t even know
Where to begin
The age difference
The rage… inference:
You are the most
Violent person
I have ever
Personally known
Even more so
Than my exhusband
You gave me bruises
You made me cry
I was a child
You were an adult
You hurt animals
‘Worshipped the devil’
Listened to heavy metal
Did drugs and alcohol
I watched you...
To show me love
30 years to be
My big brother
Instead
I don’t even know
Where to begin
The age difference
The rage… inference:
You are the most
Violent person
I have ever
Personally known

You gave me bruises
You made me cry
I was a child
You were an adult
You hurt animals
‘Worshipped the devil’
Listened to heavy metal
Did drugs and alcohol
I watched you...

To Burn [Emily]
You had 30 years
To show me love
30 years to be
My big sister
Instead
You taunted me
You pushed me out
Into the rain
And locked the door
While laughing at me
I was a child
You were a teen
Why did you so resent me?
You never knew my age
You even fucked up my name
When I was 13
I cut myself
You blamed yourself
I didn’t understand
You told me then
How brother raped you
When you were as old
As I was then
And it made...

Alive
I never thought i'd tell anyone about him, for the shame of existing beside him was enough to send me to the bottom of the sea.
I think that he started to cut away at chunks of me before I was even able to see it,
And I think he knew that I was too young, too naive to see what he was doing to me,
To all of us.
I met him when I had just barely turned thirteen, and my own depression had already begun to seep his way into my skin.
I think that he knew that too, and that he had an easy way in ; an easy way to dig himself into my lungs.
I vaguely remember...

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...

Tainted Crown
I rise to my own defense in my proud arrogance
But the darkness dawns on me
As if a better man is who I can convince myself to be
And every word we phrase speaks self-doubt as if humility
But the lies of my sins ridicule is my best attempt at honesty
No one closes their eyes we’re just conditioned to perform identity
Divided against ourselves it’s self versus our own entity
I’ll rise to be a social martyr but I’ll never be a fool
Kill me with your mercy
No one has a right to execute from a pedestal
My heart is haunted by the potential...
But the darkness dawns on me
As if a better man is who I can convince myself to be
And every word we phrase speaks self-doubt as if humility
But the lies of my sins ridicule is my best attempt at honesty
No one closes their eyes we’re just conditioned to perform identity
Divided against ourselves it’s self versus our own entity
I’ll rise to be a social martyr but I’ll never be a fool
Kill me with your mercy
No one has a right to execute from a pedestal
My heart is haunted by the potential...
