October Descending
Has the past crashed and burned?
Was it something that you yearned?
Each day is a series of flops
It's bad luck that just won't stop
Stop the world now, I want off!
I've given more than that's been brought
All I've got left is all this pain
That pierces my body and my brain
Damn this technology
That gives nothing but headaches
Oh how I'd love to
Disappear from it's wake
My windows are charging
While family's bombarding ~ my door
Lost in my dreaming
While the sister's screaming ~ some more

Casting Call
Cast these demons out
Trouble sleeping
These questions are deepening
Cast out the line
Fishing twine
Reeling, my eyelid's hooked
Casting suspicion
No one else listens
Passed out from a feint greeting
Casting my shadow
An unknown look
Is when the king gets rooked
Cast it aside
Hide this pride
And maybe make a living
Casting doubt
Throughout this drought
And just keep on giving
Cast my body
Wrap it tight
To feel this phantom hug
Cast the mold ...

I Remember (Rap)
I smelt your cologne in the store today,
An instant reminder that you were never going to stay.
I don’t remember things ever being this way.
You got me fucked up
And now I am trippin.
I hear that the alcohol you have been sippin on,
Hasn’t worked out the way that you thought it would.
All of those lonely nights,
You wish I was by your side
Alone in your bed,
With thoughts in your head.
How does it feel to regret what you said.
I would be lying
If i said I moved on.
I would start crying
If you said...
An instant reminder that you were never going to stay.
I don’t remember things ever being this way.
You got me fucked up
And now I am trippin.
I hear that the alcohol you have been sippin on,
Hasn’t worked out the way that you thought it would.
All of those lonely nights,
You wish I was by your side
Alone in your bed,
With thoughts in your head.
How does it feel to regret what you said.
I would be lying
If i said I moved on.
I would start crying
If you said...

Fading
Do I seem stronger for hiding my problems,
or do reoccurring sleepless days strip my sanity?
Worried I may disappoint my family,
I deny reaching out for help which might save me
Every test I deem useless, for if I found a diagnosis
would a cure be possible when I've grown inside this hell since day one?
All my muscles hold so much tension, tangled against my fragile skeleton
pulled tight across bones I wish could be put to sleep
Promise if I leave,
would you find forgiveness for me?
I know, unless I set you free

Never again
Today was the first time in a long time that I was truly afraid of you; and I hated every single fucking second of it.
You ran at me and I couldn’t help but scream, and that’s when I saw it lingering inside of your eyes; the rage.
Today was one of the first days my heart has ever broken for my little sister, because she is becoming just like me.
Today won’t be the first occurrence with you, but it will be the most memorable.
The first day you planted a seed so dark and fear filled that she will now jump every time you slam something.
You have changed her...

Hindsight 2021
Call me a mountain
of names
and
I’ll bury them
under the hole in the space
where I fit
everything else
in.
Can’t sort it out,
I’m too old
at this point of the game,
I'm too late in the inning.
Never you mind the things that we did,
because that person
you knew is
no longer
living.
Was it you that I knew
or someone else
that I continued
to constantly
burden
myself
with?
When do things start
to go the right way?
Why are we born
to...
of names
and
I’ll bury them
under the hole in the space
where I fit
everything else
in.
Can’t sort it out,
I’m too old
at this point of the game,
I'm too late in the inning.
Never you mind the things that we did,
because that person
you knew is
no longer

Was it you that I knew
or someone else
that I continued

Winges for the Damned
Stress and anxiety filling my head.
Messed up thoughts controlling my mood.
Everything seems to fall apart,
Confusions and angst ensued.
Trying to recap and restart,
Hoping I was just imagining things.
But it was all real and I’m guilty,
Sentence me to death and give me wings.
Let me fly to a better place,
Leave me on the wings of serenity.
Carry me to a bliss filled plane,
Where I can finally find my identity.
Messed up thoughts controlling my mood.
Everything seems to fall apart,
Confusions and angst ensued.
Trying to recap and restart,
Hoping I was just imagining things.
But it was all real and I’m guilty,
Sentence me to death and give me wings.
Let me fly to a better place,
Leave me on the wings of serenity.
Carry me to a bliss filled plane,
Where I can finally find my identity.

Train of thought
Full of potential energy
So much it frays my nerves
And work becomes the enemy
Compelled to dig my grave
Though common sense prevails
My life remains the same
With dreams that are curtailed along
The same road I've paved
So much it frays my nerves
And work becomes the enemy
Compelled to dig my grave
Though common sense prevails
My life remains the same
With dreams that are curtailed along
The same road I've paved

The Race !
Falling behind as I race to keep up,
Hoping and praying for just a little good luck.
In need of a shove just to get myself started ..
I lack motivation and im so broken hearted.
In confusion w shame ..I've no desire left to win . Left behind in the darkness. Not one single friend.
Started out fast, now its all in slow motion...
Trying so hard to stay focused amid all the commotion.
Forced to sit back and watch the world go around....
I choose to let go and I fall to the ground.
Knowing the source and the whole reason why...
I...

Fear the Freak, a poem
Ahead of me I saw
the freak
cross the street,
running.
I heard the wicked
laughter
beside me,
suddenly all of my feelings,
all of my emotions, fearing,
where running with
the unsavory beast.
The freak had bolted
behind me like a shadow,
electrically, I felt it.
I gave chase.
I couldn't stop running,
after the shadow,
after my breath
the freak had taken.
the freak
cross the street,
running.
I heard the wicked
laughter
beside me,
suddenly all of my feelings,
all of my emotions, fearing,
where running with
the unsavory beast.
The freak had bolted
behind me like a shadow,
electrically, I felt it.
I gave chase.
I couldn't stop running,
after the shadow,
after my breath
the freak had taken.

something about this wall
If you can find a path with no obstacles,
it probably doesn’t lead anywhere.”—Frank A. Clarke
something about this wall
o’ershadows me
shrouds destiny
i cannot hear life call
some slumber on the breast
post-pubic smile
too infantile
then slither back to rest
some live a hundred years
cleaving the earth
...

How?
Mistakes piled up like the dishes in the sink when the motivation disipates.
Sins clinging on like the stains on all the dirty plates.
How can he wash me clean?
How can God restore the purity that was once in me?
