Mirror Mirror
I hate the person you're becoming," snapped my mother.
And I crumbled,
inevitably,
into smaller pieces as the tears came.
That always confused me,
how she could say such things.
But now I cry,
not because what she said still hurts me,
but because I finally see how much she still hates herself.
And I crumbled,
inevitably,
into smaller pieces as the tears came.
That always confused me,
how she could say such things.
But now I cry,
not because what she said still hurts me,
but because I finally see how much she still hates herself.

JUST INVISIBLE TO YOU
Can I ask you a question... What do you see when you look at me behind my eyes, that shows no feelings nor emotions do you see the me, that I am or do you see my trials and tribulations that I had to endure since this relationship. But yet as you listen to the sound of my voice as it sets, the tone of our subliminal thoughts, as we exchange thoughts. What really do you see of me when you don't understand why I am the way that I am ? For do you see the steps I had to take just to...

I Just Don't Know
I just don't know, I simply don't know
How much I'm allowed to live any more
How much I'm allowed to give any more
I just don't know, I simply don't know
But I need that fire ma and you know that I do
You wont believe that it's not about your looks or what we do
We have both delivered the bashing and smashing
Eruptions on planetary scales, like asteroids or planets crashing
Clinging on to each other as both space and time shift
Afraid to release, scared of opening an erupting rift
Vibrating energy is being exchanged as...
How much I'm allowed to live any more

I just don't know, I simply don't know
But I need that fire ma and you know that I do
You wont believe that it's not about your looks or what we do
We have both delivered the bashing and smashing
Eruptions on planetary scales, like asteroids or planets crashing

Therapist
Ravenous, picking at the flesh
With teeth stained
Sucking succulent water
Red as the late summer sunset
Lust, an awful lust
The death of a soul
Stalker, smooth talker
Chasing the forbidden
Many moons betwixt
A generation of time
Words seemed to reassure
But those actions screamed
Profanity hardly permitted
It was fucking hard to witness
She now sleeps, he now is acquitted.

SECRETS OF A YOUNG MIND
BEFORE I BEGIN THIS STORY AS A WRITER WHETHER YOU READ IT AS FRICTION OR NON FRICTION, IT IS SOMETHING THAT I FELT IT NECESSARY TO SPEAK ABOUT AS IT IS CALLED ABUSE FROM SECRETS OF A YOUNG MIND...I feel so ashame and hurt at the same time having me vision over and over again in my mind, what's it's been like these pass few years that seems like it was only just yesterday. When I myself was young and innocent as a child should be growing into there own. Yet I sit here and hide my face behind my hands to block out the images, that still walks through the stairway and gateways of my thoughts...

All is not well since everything is blurry..
Suspenseful melody playing in my head is sending me frenzy..
Something very nasty happening in my study..
Same melody playing in my mind is sounding noisy..
My inner turmoil just keep on
trending..
Before I know am in so much trouble..
I was assigned to detect a guy..
Once I was told my lead I know this is a mission impossible..
Soon as I learned my lead i know my mission is not possible..
This Guy who lives in disguise how can i know he's a guest in my agenda?.. ...

KICKED TO THE GROUND
Through life's trails and tribulations, that we all have to experience at one time or another as it happens to everyone. When we fall down due to the situations that comes, across the bridges of our lifetime even though we sometimes. Have made errors in judgement due to our own decisions, that we chose to take just throwing mere caution to the winds. Yet what hurts the most is when you need a helping hand, there is always someone who is willing, to kick you to the ground and walk over you acting like this can't happen to them. Yet not caring about you as they don't want, to completely...

Absent of All
Sutured eyes to black out the sun
Light distorts what life remains
Dead black behind the sight
Iris
A beautiful name
Raven whispers in the dark
Flightless
An angel downed
Scars remain upon her soul
She is broken
Was never better
I adore her shadows
Twilight becomes her
She never suffered far better wounds
As I loved her
And she suffered
Light distorts what life remains
Dead black behind the sight
Iris
A beautiful name
Raven whispers in the dark
Flightless
An angel downed
Scars remain upon her soul
She is broken
Was never better
I adore her shadows
Twilight becomes her
She never suffered far better wounds
As I loved her
And she suffered

Seeking the truth
I've seen beyond
These earthly realms
I know the secrets
Kept hidden by the elders
The truth you so desperately seek
Has been carefully hidden
Buried in the backyard by the dogs
Ingrained behavior controls us all
The dogs are my shepherd
I shall not want
They maketh me graze
Upon the grass so green
They leadeth me beside the waters still
They fatten me for the upcoming feast
And though I trod through death valley
I will not fear
For the dogs are with me
Leading me to the dinner...
These earthly realms
I know the secrets
Kept hidden by the elders
The truth you so desperately seek
Has been carefully hidden
Buried in the backyard by the dogs
Ingrained behavior controls us all
The dogs are my shepherd
I shall not want
They maketh me graze
Upon the grass so green
They leadeth me beside the waters still
They fatten me for the upcoming feast
And though I trod through death valley
I will not fear
For the dogs are with me
Leading me to the dinner...
