What progress the world has achieved?
What wonders, mankind perceived?
What ignorance is inherited at birth?
About the wonders of Gaia, and planet Earth?
What madness, or insane thought?
Brought war, or its onslaught?
What crazy screwed-up mind?
Destroys nature, and human-kind?
What political, or religious reason?
Caused mankind, to cause this reason?
What in hell-bent furious fury?
Lent itself to destruction, in such a hurry?
And where does the blame rest?
As Mother nature, is squeezed by the breast?
And...

Necklace of Bones
My kokoi said
She'd make me
A necklace of bones
On the day
I became a woman
I was led by hand
Into the dark hut
And laid in the sand
And my eyes
Could only fixate
On each grain
But then I saw the blade
It looked pretty
Rather like a shell
Or a piece of glass
And I watched the shadows
Of it dance
Across the sand
Counting the grains
And thinking of playing
With my brothers
In the savanna
Did women play with boys?
Why is the blade on me
And in me now?
Why is there blood? ...
She'd make me

And I watched the shadows
Of it dance
Across the sand

And thinking of playing

Lonesome 16
As stale cigarette smoke stains the white.
cracked counter tops of our
abandoned trailer
I imagine our future as we down the bottles.
of liquor our parents hid from us
My body covered in more bruises than flesh I feel the triumph of a million elephants pounding. in my chest
My Heart is at peace in knowing this won't last.
but for you it's never ending
The torture of knowing when enough is enough takes over and
You blame me for every mistake you've made as. ...

You can transform me once into
the child that you hurt,
but you'll never know
the adult that puts herself first.

Tread Carefully
Insecurity entangled in a fragile mind
His ego swells while her sense of self dies
Tensions rise as she faces double binds
Set up to fail again
she falls short in his eyes
Meek and powerless in a frail shell
Her hope dissolves as his anger climbs
Whispered apologies spill from trembling lips
Suddenly running crimson as
his hands return to his sides
Cross his fingers and hope to lie
A veil of deceit crumbling before her feet
Illusions of a joyful life begin to waver
Trail of blood pools
from disobeying...
His ego swells while her sense of self dies
Tensions rise as she faces double binds
Set up to fail again
she falls short in his eyes
Meek and powerless in a frail shell
Her hope dissolves as his anger climbs
Whispered apologies spill from trembling lips
Suddenly running crimson as
his hands return to his sides
Cross his fingers and hope to lie
A veil of deceit crumbling before her feet
Illusions of a joyful life begin to waver
Trail of blood pools

Confetti
Your tongue a knife
My body covered in scars
A million little cuts
Like counting the stars
Every barb thrown
I catch them all
Body bruised and bloody
Pride before the fall
You say you love me
Can't possibly be
You tear me apart
Now I'm confetti
My body covered in scars
A million little cuts
Like counting the stars
Every barb thrown
I catch them all
Body bruised and bloody
Pride before the fall
You say you love me
Can't possibly be
You tear me apart
Now I'm confetti

Damaged
Anxiety is running around rampantly on the inside of the walls of my chest, and it is all because of you.
I don't like to take car rides anymore with you because of how angry you always are,
And dinners at home with you always taste like unspoken words and stomach acid.
I don't remember a day I have not been afraid of you.
I can feel the rage wafting off of your body in waves, and see the way how your knuckles turn an ashy white when you get angry, and then I am suddenly seven years old again learning how to learn to listen for the bitter anger dripping off of your...

untitled
i love sometimes
and sometimes
it matters.
a blend of moments,
one was good;
others i don't ask
their
name.
it's better to bear
a feather and hurt
then a moment
under pressure
of a wet sound
that he heard and
said your
a worthless
whore.
so my seasons
are warm;
i enjoy a walk,
and dress to bear.
but i discovered
I am amongst
scattered resistance;
tingle is smile-
i have found breadcrumbs.
and sometimes
it matters.

houston
she ran away at quite a clip,
designer in alot of ways;
get some gas, then a crash
jon was really a perv.
met a guy, kinda neat;
helped me survive- liked puzzles.
together we made, a suit of light;
he ended up in a barrel along,
with that other girl.
made a break, air is okay-
freaky creature- the big one worse!
alcohol bomb in its mouth;
off to houston, to fight these jerks.

My life
Once upon a time, I was the little girl
I was left alone to deal with things,
Things that were to agressive for me to handle.
They tore me down, beat and abuse me, the little girl, so I had to grow up thinking no one would ever truly help, appreciate, or love me.
I know I should have called my family home
But I always had to take care of those,
Who done nothing but abuse me,
I should think of parents as protectors,
But this little girl was tore down,
Forced to make herself her own protector.
I had to shut down in order to survive, ...
