Swinging from a tree
Swinging from a tree
Noone around just my thoughts and me
Floating on the sea
Nothing around to bother me
In the sky clouds are all I see
Everyone just let me be
But here in reality
Noose around my neck climbing this tree
It's quite a drop but seems so heavenly
Nothing now can bother me
As I hang here swinging from a tree
Noone around just my thoughts and me
Floating on the sea
Nothing around to bother me
In the sky clouds are all I see
Everyone just let me be
But here in reality
Noose around my neck climbing this tree
It's quite a drop but seems so heavenly
Nothing now can bother me
As I hang here swinging from a tree

Restaurants
Stuck in a room
Surrounded by chaos
Forced to be civil
Though I'm losing my mind
It's very loud
I'm trying to stay calm
People all around
Thoughts stressing me out
Involuntary shaking
Head hurting
Losing my mind
Trying to stay calm
Forcing myself to breathe
Surrounded by chaos
Forced to be civil
Though I'm losing my mind
It's very loud
I'm trying to stay calm
People all around
Thoughts stressing me out
Involuntary shaking
Head hurting
Losing my mind
Trying to stay calm
Forcing myself to breathe

Bustin' Bones With (Big) Babba Jones
Buddy Bub, what the hell you doin'wit
them Bones? **
**(apologies to mr. Berryman).
wee have nothing to do
for a screw like you, and there's
barely room (for) too few of you
in the safe-deposit
box I bought for my own silly scraplets
to settle into for the time when
My Time
first runs amok before running out,
finally free of "me", (as has been
the Fate
of so many other great admirers of
the grand circuses I built in those
middle-western towns, back before
the saints were born to...

Yes I Know
Yes I know
I take on more than I can handle
Yes I know
I stress myself out
Yes I know
I complain about what I get myself into
Yes I know
I give myself stress headaches
Yes I know
I get angry when I have too much to do
Yes I know
This is all my own fault
Have you ever stopped to consider
I do this to myself for a reason
I'd rather get headaches
and complain
and be angry
and be stressing over so many things
than let my anxiety and depression take over
I take on more than I can handle
Yes I know
I stress myself out
Yes I know
I complain about what I get myself into
Yes I know
I give myself stress headaches
Yes I know
I get angry when I have too much to do
Yes I know
This is all my own fault
Have you ever stopped to consider
I do this to myself for a reason
I'd rather get headaches
and complain
and be angry
and be stressing over so many things
than let my anxiety and depression take over

Addiction
I got this feeling deep inside
From which I'm afraid I cannot hide
All this comes crashing over me
An affliction the eyes cant always see
Hid away in rooms and sheets
Feelings that I cant keep
And the only winning prediction
Is that I'll kneel to my addiction
Days weeks years and more
All the time I want to score
Clean for such a time
Now this affliction is mine
One day will stop will pass away
All these things will be wayleighed
Go away will my affliction
Go away
Will my addiction
From which I'm afraid I cannot hide
All this comes crashing over me
An affliction the eyes cant always see
Hid away in rooms and sheets
Feelings that I cant keep
And the only winning prediction
Is that I'll kneel to my addiction
Days weeks years and more
All the time I want to score
Clean for such a time
Now this affliction is mine
One day will stop will pass away
All these things will be wayleighed
Go away will my affliction
Go away
Will my addiction

Fortitude
Butterfly
What are you doing
In this place
There are no flowers here
No brightness
For your delicate face
Butterfly
They stole
Skinned my protection whole
Selfishly lapped at my hope
And imprisoned my soul
Butterfly
You flew
Through death…
And
Soggy mildew
Spreading light
…A fiery blue
When there was nothing
I found you.

A Little Suspicious
Come pick up the boys at the my local church”
The baby sitter texted me right before I left work,
It was near so I did a quick Google search,
I didn’t have to drive in traffic so it was a nice perk.
But when I got to the parking lot it was for naught,
Nobody was there, except for a lady and a cop,
I drove by with windows rolled down (it was hot!)
Until I realized I had driven to the wrong spot.
“That’s another church a mile away with a similar name”
She said in her next text still waiting for me,
So I peeled out of there now...

If You Hate Me Just Know That I Do Too
I am a failure
I have emptied you
Every emotion
Poured out
Like cold coffee
I am an existential crisis
A heart in mourning
I am dying to feel like
I'm not dying
I am an angry wasp stinging
Everyone I land upon
I try not to but you,
you scare me
With those virgin eyes
I am a clusterfuck
A buzzing wall
Of white noise
I drown out
Your infectious affection
I am so, so, so sorry
My fate has found me.
I have emptied you
Every emotion
Poured out
Like cold coffee
I am an existential crisis
A heart in mourning
I am dying to feel like
I'm not dying
I am an angry wasp stinging
Everyone I land upon
I try not to but you,
you scare me
With those virgin eyes
I am a clusterfuck
A buzzing wall
Of white noise
I drown out
Your infectious affection
I am so, so, so sorry
My fate has found me.

Caught In a Vortex
It's funny how zeal can be a trap,
and passion becomes a snare.
Be careful because...
Punctuality can lead to fatality.
I didn't need an alarm clock to wake me,
4 hours past midnight I was prepared...
Frantically making my way to the office gate.
No breakfast,
Document in hand.
Surely I Would be first in line.
To my horror I met a crowd,
Had they slept at the venue?
Quickly I joined in as we formed a siege
Behind the barricade.
Four gruelling hours later agitation blazed.
Tempers escalated as men...
and passion becomes a snare.
Be careful because...
Punctuality can lead to fatality.
I didn't need an alarm clock to wake me,
4 hours past midnight I was prepared...
Frantically making my way to the office gate.
No breakfast,
Document in hand.
Surely I Would be first in line.
To my horror I met a crowd,
Had they slept at the venue?
Quickly I joined in as we formed a siege
Behind the barricade.
Four gruelling hours later agitation blazed.
Tempers escalated as men...

In Her Mind a Maggot Wriggles
Between a dream and a nightmare
she was caught, a subconscious web
made up of worry and thought.
The whispering fly buzzed in and out
filling her head with panic and doubt.
Her racing heart completely besieged
she is taken ahold by anxiety.
Always looming, always hovering
always in her mind, always suffering.
she was caught, a subconscious web
made up of worry and thought.
The whispering fly buzzed in and out
filling her head with panic and doubt.
Her racing heart completely besieged
she is taken ahold by anxiety.
Always looming, always hovering
always in her mind, always suffering.

Fo’ Real 3
Everyone knows
Los Angeles and
Everyone is a
Disgusting
Freak
The same movie
Plays on
Repeat
There goes the
Northeasterly
Winds
There goes another
Drought
There goes another
Bout of self-
doubt
what have we done?
What has it all meant?
Why isn’t it obvious?
Abscond with the
Ill-gotten gains
Look down in
Shame
Earthquakes make the
World go ‘round
Tsunamis pass
The time
Tornados cleanse ...
