The Price Is Never Fair
Whiskey river flowing through my mind
Unable to remember which way is down
Needing to escape from the daily grind
Waiting for insanity to come back around
Hooked on the feeling of remaining numb
Casting blame on this foolish heart of mine
Chasing after love leaves me looking dumb
These toxic thoughts lead to rapid decline
Been broken so many times I’ve lost count
Yesterday is one continuous loop of despair
Couldn’t tell you how much or the amount
Details get fuzzy and the price is never fair
Unable to remember which way is down
Needing to escape from the daily grind
Waiting for insanity to come back around
Hooked on the feeling of remaining numb
Casting blame on this foolish heart of mine
Chasing after love leaves me looking dumb
These toxic thoughts lead to rapid decline
Been broken so many times I’ve lost count
Yesterday is one continuous loop of despair
Couldn’t tell you how much or the amount
Details get fuzzy and the price is never fair

Reality is a curse
Will you catch me this time if I fall?
your support has become a hindrance
the last several times, I hit bottom real hard
I'm trying desperately to release the demons
it isn't easy when your neglected without assistance
you've said you loved me and you know that I love you
is it a lie?
i need you now, more then ever before
please, be by my side
we said years back through thick & thin
bonded together we'll always win
the dream is crumbling
reality is a curse
your support has become a hindrance
the last several times, I hit bottom real hard
I'm trying desperately to release the demons
it isn't easy when your neglected without assistance
you've said you loved me and you know that I love you
is it a lie?
i need you now, more then ever before
please, be by my side
we said years back through thick & thin
bonded together we'll always win
the dream is crumbling
reality is a curse

Unholy
It’s unholy
How I lose myself
Consumed by the fire in dark, yet vacant eyes
The heat of skin
Possessed by all that we become
I don’t wait
For a gentle love that doesn’t exist
But this
The raging tide that pulls me under
This is my forever
The only way they know how to love
It’s unholy
How they seem to know me wholly
My fingernails digging in their backs
My teeth buried in their shoulders
While they are buried deep inside my untamed heart
Complicated edges soothe ...
How I lose myself
Consumed by the fire in dark, yet vacant eyes
The heat of skin
Possessed by all that we become
I don’t wait
For a gentle love that doesn’t exist
But this
The raging tide that pulls me under
This is my forever
The only way they know how to love
It’s unholy
How they seem to know me wholly
My fingernails digging in their backs
My teeth buried in their shoulders
While they are buried deep inside my untamed heart
Complicated edges soothe ...

a requiem for pain
I'm losing my internal battle
my grip slips and I want to scream nonstop
I'm being tortured to what end?
it hurts to think I can't cut it
is this my life from now on?
wear a chain or else
bloody hell
I've talked with ones like me
anxious hell with a gut churning chaser
admittedly I am afraid
I sleep and the call enters
ringing off the hook...my need
I will try again I feel I have no choice
but I'm not going to lie to you
if my only option is constant in your face pain
I choose...
my grip slips and I want to scream nonstop
I'm being tortured to what end?
it hurts to think I can't cut it
is this my life from now on?
wear a chain or else
bloody hell
I've talked with ones like me
anxious hell with a gut churning chaser
admittedly I am afraid
I sleep and the call enters
ringing off the hook...my need
I will try again I feel I have no choice
but I'm not going to lie to you
if my only option is constant in your face pain

I'm going through
It's me again the story teller of unspoken words ✍️ FOR what I want to talk about what makes some folks think, which makes no sense when some people's think what your going through in your own life. Really isn't what you're going through 🤔 yet to tell you that you are not going through what you say what you have in your own life. 😧 Let me remind you that you ain't me and I'm not you, 😔 going through the process of the stages that I have to face on a daily basis of life. For you tell me that you don't believe that I have cancer but yet I do, from prostate...

Fast and Furious
So, my countrymen have decided
to embrace...and celebrate...
organized stupidity.
So it is written.
So let it be done.
And may they learn the hard way
how to bring order
to their own thoughts
and actions.
Though unnecessary...
as forethought would have done the job.
So stub your toes, America!
Fuck around and find out.
Go ahead. Reach out.
Get a good grip on that
spinning table saw blade!

Clear liquid, ice cold
Burning warmth in every sip
Glass echoes its tale.
Burning warmth in every sip
Glass echoes its tale.

You start one way
End up another
Art serum
Color addiction
Ride the music
Pooneil Corner
Watch me ..

Drink my blood... Again...
You are my red-hot vein, pierced through and through,
Subduing me in your voluptuous sins
You are the ban of the great bloody bunch,
You are my impudent and violent exciting fear
You are a drug running through closed veins,
You are the line beyond which I fall up
And in flight, I will wear wings with you,
And over the abyss I will soar like a bat
You tied my thoughts, stole my flesh,
Drank the blood, you give an unthinkable high
And managed to inject me into a storm with silence,
Begins to break my heart without a dose ...
Subduing me in your voluptuous sins
You are the ban of the great bloody bunch,
You are my impudent and violent exciting fear
You are a drug running through closed veins,
You are the line beyond which I fall up
And in flight, I will wear wings with you,
And over the abyss I will soar like a bat
You tied my thoughts, stole my flesh,
Drank the blood, you give an unthinkable high
And managed to inject me into a storm with silence,
Begins to break my heart without a dose ...

the storm I created
she broke into this world
a storm wrapped in pink blankets
the daughter that borrowed my eyes
my temper
my frown
my tendency to stand
at the edge of shadows
what else could we do but spark?
squarin up over nothin and everythin
we catch fire the same way
quiet and hot
both refusin to bend or break
same flush in our cheeks
I still see her as four
hands on her hips
determination set
in the corners of her mouth
small voice deliverin judgement
speakin fluently in...
a storm wrapped in pink blankets
the daughter that borrowed my eyes
my temper
my frown
my tendency to stand
at the edge of shadows
what else could we do but spark?
squarin up over nothin and everythin
we catch fire the same way
quiet and hot
both refusin to bend or break
same flush in our cheeks
I still see her as four
hands on her hips
determination set
in the corners of her mouth
small voice deliverin judgement
speakin fluently in...

My Frenemy From the Heartland
Oh wheat,
you stupid grain
Why are you always on my brain
Whether bagel, cracker, toast, or waffle,
you seduce and thrill
then make me feel awful
For me gluten
may not be evil as Putin
-I'm not a Celiac-
but in cravings I drown
you just slow me down
I'm sick of this monkey on my back
Oh wheat,
you're a ruthless boss
You're in frozen foods, beer,
even soy sauce
I'm stronger than you
At least I want to be
but every day
you keep stalking me
you stupid grain
Why are you always on my brain
Whether bagel, cracker, toast, or waffle,
you seduce and thrill
then make me feel awful
For me gluten
may not be evil as Putin
-I'm not a Celiac-
but in cravings I drown
you just slow me down
I'm sick of this monkey on my back
Oh wheat,
you're a ruthless boss
You're in frozen foods, beer,
even soy sauce
I'm stronger than you
At least I want to be
but every day
you keep stalking me
