Breaking Down
Sometimes I feel overwhelmed
to the point where I want to die
the tears won't stop
and I can barely breathe
I can't get the voices to shut up
and I can't find a single happy thought
I try to think of someone to call
but something always stops me
I don't want to be a burden
and force my unhappiness onto others
no one would truly understand anyway
its hard for me to find the right words
I feel so alone and broken
I just don't know what to do anymore
all the anxiety and worry just builds up
then tears me...
to the point where I want to die
the tears won't stop
and I can barely breathe
I can't get the voices to shut up
and I can't find a single happy thought
I try to think of someone to call
but something always stops me
I don't want to be a burden
and force my unhappiness onto others
no one would truly understand anyway
its hard for me to find the right words
I feel so alone and broken
I just don't know what to do anymore
all the anxiety and worry just builds up
then tears me...

Apprehension
Dancing on broken glass
Awaiting an invitation
deafening silence
I can feel myself breaking
Suffocating thoughts
Words escape me
Here I lay waiting
For you
Awaiting an invitation
deafening silence
I can feel myself breaking
Suffocating thoughts
Words escape me
Here I lay waiting
For you

Unpossess me, please
Unpossess me, please
Pleas of a tormented souls
Laments of a tortured heart
Cries of a broken man
PLEASE leave me alone
You have crept in my skin for far too long
Have invaded the sanctuaries of my heart
Deciphered the encryptions in my mind
Learned the secrets of my loneliness
You have left me bare for your amusement
Please leave me alone!
You fed me ideas
While I wallowed in solitude
Wriggling my way through life, undetected
With gold dust clouding my eyes
Easing my pain
Teasing my pen
All I...
Pleas of a tormented souls
Laments of a tortured heart
Cries of a broken man
PLEASE leave me alone
You have crept in my skin for far too long
Have invaded the sanctuaries of my heart
Deciphered the encryptions in my mind
Learned the secrets of my loneliness
You have left me bare for your amusement
Please leave me alone!
You fed me ideas
While I wallowed in solitude
Wriggling my way through life, undetected
With gold dust clouding my eyes
Easing my pain
Teasing my pen
All I...

The Charge of the Lite Brigade
The title means what it says
The spelling mistake is not one
Not a typo, a deliberate concept
Lite defines as a lesser event
Or weaker ingredients
Some things are so lite
They are impossible to see
With the naked eye
Side issue: What is a naked eye
Answers on a postcard
There are many contentious issues in life
Some minor and some that have a severe impact
Take racism for instance
Racism is apparently out of fashion currently
It was big in the past
It has not disappeared
And it will return in the...

My Brother's Keeper
With warmth of
my hands
I shield his eyes
and
Cover his heart
this is true purity
of meaningful
absorption..
suddenly he says:
"Why is your
matter silently
howling, so loudly "
. ..because... .

Rotten
He made my insides rot.
What was supposed to maintain a life, now held death and decay.
Inside, I crack and piece by piece.
It fell out, a little glimpse into what could’ve been.
Held in my hands were flesh of an opportunity I never got to know.
A person, I’ll never get to know.
All because he didn’t want you.
But I wanted you, I always have and always will.
In stilled in me is a deep seeded fear.
Not being able to have the opportunity come by again.
To have these pieces sustain...

Sea of Sadness
if we could flood the earth with our tears
relinquish the tight grip held by our fears
at first it’s just a stream lapping at our feet
it feels heavenly, yet it’s all so bittersweet
but as we age, we face more heartbreak
and behind each lesson is it’s own mistake
we’re all trying to channel our inner author
and on this stream, we all can walk on water
the water is shallow, rolling over pebbles
each tear we cry comes with another level
it builds and it builds, then it just takes over
now it’s...

Sounds of Silence
Somebody say something
To me, this silence is deafening
It calls to me,
I feel in its presence an essence
Feeding on my weakness, Growing.
In this silence a muted Angel sings,
Her quiet song rings in my soul
Causes to alter my heart which rarely falters,
Puts on an altar perception that warps
Deforms with the heavenly sounds of her silent harp.
The music indulges my most primal muses
In it there is a soundless figure
That with vigor reveals itself to be me, the most truest me.
This me I hide so well that even...
To me, this silence is deafening
It calls to me,
I feel in its presence an essence
Feeding on my weakness, Growing.
In this silence a muted Angel sings,
Her quiet song rings in my soul
Causes to alter my heart which rarely falters,
Puts on an altar perception that warps
Deforms with the heavenly sounds of her silent harp.
The music indulges my most primal muses

That with vigor reveals itself to be me, the most truest me.
This me I hide so well that even...

What do you do when you know someone who cuts?
What do you do when you know someone who cuts?
When someone is too scared to end there life,
So they cope by seeing seeping blood.
Do you comfort them and hope to help them not?
What do you do when you know someone who has self hatred?
When you know they are in a dark corner
Wearing a jacket over bruises and cuts.
Do you give them advice and try to give them escape from their feeling of numb?
What do you do when you know they blame themselves?
When you know they are spellbound
To their own misfortune melt downs.
Do you tell...

Ruminate
Illusions of grandiose
Swear the wind
Carries your voice
Panic and fear
Have stripped bare
Flesh and bones
And still I lay here
wondering
Swear the wind
Carries your voice
Panic and fear
Have stripped bare
Flesh and bones
And still I lay here
wondering

Dentists chair
Ow! I’m in fucking agony;
Why must my own body, do this to me?
Hurting like a burn, to the third degree;
Please take this pain, away from me.
I have to go and see the dentist,
But I do fear him so.
He’s going to cure my agony,
The only way I know.
By jabbing a sharp needle, into my gums;
He says the anesthetic, will send them numb.
But we both know he lies,
For I can see the shock of my pain in his eyes.
The anesthetic wore away too soon;
He had so much work to do.
I can’t stand this pain...
Why must my own body, do this to me?
Hurting like a burn, to the third degree;
Please take this pain, away from me.
I have to go and see the dentist,
But I do fear him so.
He’s going to cure my agony,
The only way I know.
By jabbing a sharp needle, into my gums;
He says the anesthetic, will send them numb.
But we both know he lies,
For I can see the shock of my pain in his eyes.
The anesthetic wore away too soon;
He had so much work to do.
