Uncertainty
The innocence in laughter,
The experience in a tear.
The warmth of an embrace,
The chill of a goodbye.
The mystery in his smile,
The familiarity of his touch.
The sting of betrayal,
The contentment in repentance.
The ignorance in complacency,
The awareness in pain.
One will be my demise, the other my savior -- but which lie is more beautiful?
The experience in a tear.
The warmth of an embrace,
The chill of a goodbye.
The mystery in his smile,
The familiarity of his touch.
The sting of betrayal,
The contentment in repentance.
The ignorance in complacency,
The awareness in pain.
One will be my demise, the other my savior -- but which lie is more beautiful?

A long cold road.
I have a long road ahead. There's not much to see on this journey. There's no one to talk too. It's just step after step after step. Days, weeks,months pass and still nothing. The small sense of pride you have for what little improvements you made quickly vanishes in the guilt you have for being on this journey. See you were there before… A few times even…. And Everytime you set yourself farther back on this road. There is no end in sight. There is only the next step. And when the slience starts to break you down…. You know you will never reach the end of this road. The constant thoughts of...

Black Dog Illness
In a moment of life, sweat running down my face
Bad case of shyness, silencing ones tongue from race
No sleep at nighttime, just seeing the sun rise
My senses all failing and my mind freezing over
A look in the mirror I didn’t recognise
Then it appeared as an hallucination
I heard her call for me
I had to slap myself over and over
This could just be a dream or this might just be heaven
Then it occurred to me, that I was on strong medication
The images and voices I heard that day
Were just from my imagination
...

Still alive
At least she’s still alive...
I hadn’t seen anything from her in a bit
So I freaked out
But she said something two hours ago...
not to me...
It was a post on Facebook
But either way...
I’m just glad she’s still alive
But that makes me think
I did something wrong
I... don’t know what to think...
I’m overthinking without thinking too much
It’s only one thought...
But it’s all I can think of
I did something...
I had to have
I just miss her so much...
I hadn’t seen anything from her in a bit
So I freaked out
But she said something two hours ago...

I’m just glad she’s still alive
But that makes me think

She
She wore her heart
For all to see
Like an ever
Blooming
Wild flower
Her delicate petals
Flushed with a
Vivid and lively
Pallet
Her beauty
Created by the
Gods
A free soul
Bound only by
Her spirits imagination
An ever elusive limit
Infecting each and
Every person
That had the fortune
To witness her
With glowing
Affection
She was everything and
Everyone
The most sacred parts
Of all human spirit ...

Imposter Spun
Imposter spun from verity
impugning true prosperity
falsehoods of the first degree
imagined for self’s pedigree
comfort is given without regret
to the others that connect
with the nature identified
by the honesty of the mind
these labels affirm accomplishment
thought illegitimate for the self
this is the greatest of all lies
when to others this could apply
success is thought for other folks
don’t fall prey to this joke
there are no frauds when the work
confirms the fear to be a jerk.

Time is Ticking
Can you feel it?
It’s growing stronger every day.
That feeling of existential dread
Which rises from the darkest depths of your mind,
Bubbling to the surface of your thoughts,
And spilling into consciousness
As ink to the page of a writer's will.
You know it all too well...
That feeling of malaise you brush away
Like a fly from your plate,
Or a mosquito, buzzing in your ear.
Like an incessant internal itch
Which can never be scratched,
The inevitability of death brings an urgency to life
That I can’t seem to...

Routing for Me
I feel like sometimes, I peak through the curtain
What's hidden to the eye, I seem to notice
I'm troubled often by concerns of paranoia and egotism
I think, therefore, I am
All I know is all I know, that is, my view is the only view I can ever have
I pilot this body, I see through my lens, but I CAN empathise
My birth name is a translation: God is salvation
My face, a combination of the two prominent idols of faith
More of one in the summer, the other in the winter
Drugs, too long spent alone, overwhelming ability to empathise: I cannot help but...

Congratulations
You who are asleep at the wheel
For having no idea
Of who you run over
The people you hit
Again and again
The painful breaking
Of their bodies
The crunch and
Final plunge
Into whatever is next
Not even background
To whatever dance
You’re tapping out
In dreamland
Congratulations
For achieving some kind
Of enlightenment
Let it be
Let it be
Let the tide of blood
Wash over me
A speck in the endless
Lack of reason to care
I fear that you
Know more than...

Please Don't See
Please don't see me as I sob over a 4 year old memory that shouldn't hurt anymore.
Please don't see me and continue tapping away at your phone as I tap my leg and count to try and calm the 3 no 10 no 20 thoughts racing through my head at once.
Please don't see me in the lobby to the therapist office because God forbid you feel pity for me and I have to pretend you don't look just like the doctors looking at the bruises and muscle of the legs that I hate so much.
Please don't see meas I fight against anxiety while baking because despite my trust I can't stop...

Vixen
a spattering of lies.
cigarette burns and blue bruises
claim the prize.
Vixen was full of light, flickering
her sunset like a strobe.
Erected watchtowers, lighthouses,
vaticans and prison cells.
On her lips lay words warped
in a corpse-stated bliss,
repeating the mantra:
Love! Love! Love!
Underlines, boldface, and stars.
Paperclips, bookmarks, dog-eared pages.
Somewhere
searching or waiting,
none can say -
