Struggling
There was this lady stifling in her corset
Dancing, twirling and suffering to the very last set
But she dreamed of killing the dressmaker
Who lured her and spoke of her looking smarter and sexier
Yet she would never stoop so low as to go on a stupid diet.
Dancing, twirling and suffering to the very last set
But she dreamed of killing the dressmaker
Who lured her and spoke of her looking smarter and sexier

Another cut
Right as the rain
Am I really though.
Clothed in pain.
Half tattered soul.
Is what it is
Just another notch in the belt
Another line running my wrist.
So much it's no longer felt.
Bath water blatant red.
Feeling woozy light in head.
Lay back enjoy this poem
Remember what I've said.
Am I really though.
Clothed in pain.
Half tattered soul.
Is what it is
Just another notch in the belt
Another line running my wrist.
So much it's no longer felt.
Bath water blatant red.
Feeling woozy light in head.
Lay back enjoy this poem
Remember what I've said.

Copelessness
What am I doing? Why am I tired?
What am I thinking? Am I a liar?
Will I die soon? Why do I hope?
Listen for the wind; Can I still cope
Stop, there's nothing going on
Stop, my ride is falling bound
Stop, my train has left, it's gone
Stop, I'm getting closer to the ground
I'm falling far - I've too much to think
Am I myself? I'm on the brink
Well, I can hope - I've nothing left
Answer the breeze - I'm only bereft
I'm searching for something
I can raise to climb a kind
I'll wave it down after all
Maybe...

I Am Anxiety
I keep digging my heel
Aiming to break
More than just gravity
Smoking brazen my thoughts
With sewage sounds
Drowning noise, human noise
Like a sloppy cocktail
Soft, wet, flagrant
Down my throat, ingest: Done.
Aiming to break
More than just gravity
Smoking brazen my thoughts

Heights
I need to continue writing
If I stop, I'll falter sighting
My mind races, never calming
Caffeine soars, skin balming
Free me from my pattern of-
Obsessive seeking lies above
Hiding behind words of-
Lectern breaking falling shove
More and more and more I'll bend
Snap my heart, I'll forget to fend
In my soul I can fly away
In my dreams, my soul will stay
Stay away - Don't mind me
Stay alive - Just leave me
Stay around - I'm so afraid
Stay alight - I'll stay behind
If I stop, I'll falter sighting
My mind races, never calming
Caffeine soars, skin balming
Free me from my pattern of-
Obsessive seeking lies above
Hiding behind words of-
Lectern breaking falling shove
More and more and more I'll bend
Snap my heart, I'll forget to fend
In my soul I can fly away
In my dreams, my soul will stay
Stay away - Don't mind me
Stay alive - Just leave me
Stay around - I'm so afraid
Stay alight - I'll stay behind

Silent love
The memories of you still linger in my mind,
A constant reminder of the love we left behind.
I try to move on, but it's hard to do,
When all I see is a future without you.
The nights are long and the days are cold,
Without you by my side, my heart feels old.
I try to call, to send a message,
But the silence is deafening, my love, my presage.
I reach out to you, but you're not receptive,
My love for you, you see it as deceptive.
But I swear, my love, I've done nothing wrong,
But you believe I have, my love for you, now gone. ...
A constant reminder of the love we left behind.
I try to move on, but it's hard to do,
When all I see is a future without you.
The nights are long and the days are cold,
Without you by my side, my heart feels old.
I try to call, to send a message,
But the silence is deafening, my love, my presage.
I reach out to you, but you're not receptive,
My love for you, you see it as deceptive.
But I swear, my love, I've done nothing wrong,
But you believe I have, my love for you, now gone. ...

Un-Awoken
How do I find inner peace
My shakes return with ease
Chest tightens, lights flashing
Bones crack of windy leaves
My voice shutters, open mouth
My tears flutter, blank house
Limb lightens, brain crashing
Dry breath now menial dowse
I can barely hold my pen
My mind as clean as a pig-pen
Ears are clouded even open
Dreams escape un-awoken
My knees quake to give way
Will my mind return, stay
Thought frightens, marks dashing
Nightmares will not fly away
Chest tightens - Limb lightens - Though...
My shakes return with ease
Chest tightens, lights flashing
Bones crack of windy leaves
My voice shutters, open mouth
My tears flutter, blank house
Limb lightens, brain crashing
Dry breath now menial dowse
I can barely hold my pen
My mind as clean as a pig-pen
Ears are clouded even open
Dreams escape un-awoken
My knees quake to give way
Will my mind return, stay
Thought frightens, marks dashing
Nightmares will not fly away
Chest tightens - Limb lightens - Though...

The Dark Abandoned Road
An abandoned back road
leaves a darker side of town.
Deep impenetrable forest
up one side and down.
The road twists and turns,
every corner is blind.
A dim street light ahead
with only blackness behind.
Wet asphalt is cracked,
and the lines are all faded.
A stop sign is rusting,
neglected and jaded.
Weeds sprout through the cracks
that cross left and from right.
Potholes and frost heaves
create a treacherous ride.
To where it does lead,
there's no way of knowing.
It's too scary to...
leaves a darker side of town.
Deep impenetrable forest
up one side and down.
The road twists and turns,
every corner is blind.
A dim street light ahead
with only blackness behind.
Wet asphalt is cracked,
and the lines are all faded.
A stop sign is rusting,
neglected and jaded.
Weeds sprout through the cracks
that cross left and from right.
Potholes and frost heaves
create a treacherous ride.
To where it does lead,
there's no way of knowing.
It's too scary to...

Feared it to death
Every day he lived in fear
Feared for his job in this ever changing economy
Feared for the possible disasters
His house, his precious belongings
Gone in the blink of an eye
In the eye of the storm
Feared that one day the love of his life
Would no longer be by his side
Feared ill-health and all sorts of sickness
Feared every single day of his life
Feared to the very day he died
Quietly in his sleep
(Or was his sleep filled with
Fears of the Way Beyond?)
A pitiful man aged ninety-three.
Feared for his job in this ever changing economy
Feared for the possible disasters
His house, his precious belongings
Gone in the blink of an eye
In the eye of the storm
Feared that one day the love of his life
Would no longer be by his side
Feared ill-health and all sorts of sickness
Feared every single day of his life
Feared to the very day he died
Quietly in his sleep
(Or was his sleep filled with
Fears of the Way Beyond?)
A pitiful man aged ninety-three.

Eaten
I miss myself when I was whole
Drown myself quicksand of coal
Collapse under pressure-heat
Transfer existence of fleshless meat
Figment of my imagination weak
Mental gymnastics, public feat
Hide myself behind cold lies
Eat my soul as I cannot find
Will I ever be myself
Die again to ring the bells
What shall I say in the future
Tear out all my dirty sutures
I want to be honest with someone
I want my mind to be undone
I want myself to be heard
No longer with plain butchered
Send it all - End...
Drown myself quicksand of coal
Collapse under pressure-heat
Transfer existence of fleshless meat
Figment of my imagination weak
Mental gymnastics, public feat
Hide myself behind cold lies
Eat my soul as I cannot find
Will I ever be myself
Die again to ring the bells
What shall I say in the future
Tear out all my dirty sutures
I want to be honest with someone
I want my mind to be undone
I want myself to be heard
No longer with plain butchered
Send it all - End...
