Sparing Our Darlings
Leave it to me to mess things up when it's going too well
Or is it just a perspective projected for the flaws on which you dwell
You've got filters of misguided perceptions to assume you need worry
And for all the clarity you claim to have it seems at times your vision is blurry
Since when was your peace of mind my cross to bear
When you sell me short and overlord and call it care
Underestimate me again if you dare
While you concern yourself with our every affair
Cut the cord and just let go
Just maybe you'll be surprised to...

there's no need to read this either
im not really sure how to decribe what im feeling right now. i think i need to split my life into factors. in my relationship i feel defeated. that might be the only word i have. i have done so much wrong and caused so much hurt that im in this constant limbo between "i dont deserve to be treated well" and "i shouldn't be treated like this/talked to this way". and then some things hurt more than you could ever imagine but you never expect to happen and then it does and it slices you. what do you even say to your partner when they say the have no one? i dont think thats something i can ever...

NAMELESS
The voice wouldn’t leave my ear. Why wouldn’t it go?
Every dark corner I turned the voice reappeared, haunting me every step of the way.
It was never silent.
Just WHY wouldn’t it go?
Each step I took I sunk further and further, no escape in sight.
It was the same every day, an endless cycle.
And this is what it’s always been for as long as I can remember…
My parents, my friends, all say that they care. Do they?
The answer is no, they all think I’m insane. Am I?
I guess you would think the same...because I almost forgot that you’re probably just...

Pick Your Losses
Spotlight following the story
The weight of where I am and the temporal glory
Fickle the approval of living subject to their eyes
I don't know how to feel when it's honesty versus silent lies
Making whispers of desire for the intention
When to battle and when to compromise for reinvention
Redirecting course to place dreams on hold
When patience feels like dying for the sake of the soul
Life's interrogation of what I can see
Layaway tomorrows of a better opportunity
We got here and I guess it is what it is
When...

Self-Involved Psalms
I suffer your stones
And so speaks rejection
You are not alone
As I cut, so am I the reflection
We take fire to our chests
From the sparks that spew
From the lips of another's mouth
You are me and I am you
Getting hung up on the vicarious qualms
As I read into the angst of your self-involved psalms
Maybe it's just me and I've got it all wrong
As I sing my own, but you hear your song
I get pulled out by the undertow of a first person dialogue
Distractions lure me into the haze of this shape-shifting fog

1 month after my heart attack aug 2017 a note to my gp!
hello, i phoned on monday and reception said they would notify you of my request, and that you would get back to me. as i have run out of diazepam, which you made clear your concerns that is has an addictive nature to it. i'm currently undergoing more stress than ive ever experienced in my life, i nearly died on the operating table, due partly to the added Cardiogenic Shock. and that this was caused in the long term by my smoking for over 45 years. but the catalyst to all this has been the immense stress i have been under prior to the heart attack, which has now increased ten fold since. i...

Never Enough
My heart feels like a static monologue
Trying to piece together some semblance of reason
Chaos greets me in the stillness
When I can't determine the weather for the season
Twisters circling like vultures overhead
A spout protrudes into a funnel
The sky is wrestling with gravity
Is there a light at the end of the elongated tunnel?
Thrown into a barrel roll
Traveling down these back roads takes it's toll
Just trying to make it to a destination
Blessed as it seems we are, on the inside there is desperation
Waiting for...

I Won’t Be Your Foal
On a collision course with the nature of all things
What is within my control or just a drive by of happenstance
When I'm outgunned by the unknown variables
I calculate the risk of living but everyday is filled with chance
Made of choices and ultimatums for the conditions to survive
Overpriced underpaid working my way to coming alive
Seeking a way to settle down
The weight of breathing is the burden to maintain
On the life support of a greater sense of purpose
When at times it feels like it's all in vain
Spinning my...

One Way Or The Other
Do you stop dead in your track to retract or distract to think before you act
Or in fact remain relaxed intact and on impulse react on impact back on the attack
Displeased and at ease as the deep freeze from this disease has crept up on me
Mentally decrepit I tried to appease seizing the day then attempting to seize it all I dropped the ball
Now I've been seized up in my leisure from this seizure
How quickly away morals of the story they flee
The concept of death now overwhelmingly appears crystal clear that perhaps the tragedy of my reality is to go out...

Rabbit holes
At times, the mind is like a warren,
Small rodents, digging land, barren,
Be careful here, remember Alice,
She fell down the rabbit hole, unmiss,
Entering into the chaotic network,
Unsure of how to navigate,
With circumspect, we investigate,
Deeper, we go darker, move forth,
Quick! follow the time burden lagomorph
Were left standing still, and lurk,
Like alices' storey, the holes shrink,
The very least it's what we think,
Our problems are getting bigger,
Frustrated, temper, hair pin trigger,
Seeing doors,...

Quick! follow the time burden lagomorph
Were left standing still, and lurk,
Like alices' storey, the holes shrink,
The very least it's what we think,
Our problems are getting bigger,
