True Life worries
In moments of great sadness, where darkness lingers,
A broken person cries, feeling lost, trapped in their own thoughts.
Their mind is tormented, drowning in sorrow,
Their heart aches, consumed by pain and mistakes.
Depression weighs heavily, burdened with sadness,
Quietly suffocating, spreading into the next day.
Thoughts become a whirlwind of never-ending despair,
A constant struggle, deep in this trap.
Lost amongst endless paths of darkness,
Where voices whisper, mocking and hating relentlessly.

Elevator Gas
I was walking around with some comrades who came in from all over the State to be in Albany
It was a whole day of protests
And Folks from various parts along the east coast presented a case for their causes, like;
Mass incarceration, housing injustice, vaccination standards, and worker's rights reforms
After several short yet exhausting trips to different offices, I was brought to a place of extreme discomfort
I had to fart like a mutha fucka
I was on an elevator with some important looking people sipping their Starbucks, when all of a sudden gas welled...

Five Tenants Living Rent Free
In the depths of his mind, a fragmented soul resides
A man with myriad faces, in shadows he hides
Dissociative whispers echo through his core
As he dances with five characters forever at war
First, the embodiment of rage, a tempest unchained
His fury burning bright, his essence untamed
He breaks through the barriers unleashing a storm
Tearing apart tranquility, disrupting all that's warm
Boiling within, he scorns the world with disdain
Joy in pain, hatred's fire is his eternal bane
Next emerges depression, a specter so...

the drunk
The drunk
A thick plastic curtain of the type used in warehouses he could not see through
to other than shadowy figures moving around, he knew he saw a past that
no longer belonged to him.
He sat on the edge of his unmade bed, drinking warm beer, when a sharp knock
on the door of his flat
it was the landlord looking at him with contempt, saying he must pay the rent tomorrow or else!
Despair sizzled through his body needed a strong drink one mixed vodka and cold coffee,
while asking himself how it had come to this losing his job because he had...

Ol dirty wolfstard
Living on the edge of time
Poking holes for the light to shine forks and knives but spoons are all you care
People run in circles you reach out no one's there
Starstruck fell in love with one stare
Fallen left alone she's always there
True love blinding everything's just
Eyes full of tears and stomach full of lust
Time is messed up all hours are the same
Relentless effort for a prize to claim
Days months years blend in fall like rain
Crawling through a dream denying the pain
Restless cranked doped...

Depression
Dont know how to put these feelings into words anymore.
Everyone i ever loved just walked through the door.
I move from my bed
Am pacing the floor
I gave all of my heart and still they wanted more.
Am loosing my mind
I hate mankind
The way am feeling cannot be defined.
Am trying not to hear these voice in my head
And trying! but depression wants me dead.
Just one cut they say, the pain will all go away, just one pill, i cant keep still these stupid voices are forcing me to kill.
I am lost! and found by darkness
I am a mess...

This is a story
This is a story, a tale like no other
Of fragmented memories and desperate lovers
This is a story of life in disguise
A fable of falsehoods, true love and lies
Fear swallows pills
swallows whole
swallows minds
While reason is solid and certain and kind
And the whole damn universe bleeds out in impiety
A freaked out, drugged up crush of anxiety
Make it stop
It hurts
This cocktail of ill-content
A medicated, calculated, screwed up experiment
We swallow you
swallow it
swallow them ...

A twenty four hour bug thing .
I’ve never felt so controlled. I’m not that type I know my own mind . A handsome face Is just a face after all and blue lagoon eyes may make you want to get naked and jump in for a dip but what of it . I’m not easy to be persuaded to let go of anything below the surface . My dress Is fastened with the top button resting neatly at the nape of my neck and flows way past my knees saying hello to my wedge sandals .Everything is present and correct but when I look at him I blush an explosive ruby red and now I start to pray . Holy mother of god please let him not be a mind reader. I’m losing my...

Mild OCD:A single thought spiral
Penny for your thoughts.”
… in a single open-shut of my eyes I take the penny and….
Don’t eat that, don’t eat that, don’t eat that,
my god how much do you weigh, weigh,
how much does it weigh,
it’s 14 ounces but it has to be 12
12
12
Today.
So I can divide it by four.
I wish I knew why.
Not that song. Not that song.
Fuck, I hate that song,
and I’m awake at 3 a.m.
listening to the refrain
over and over and over and
Why. Why did...

Cornflakes
The Salvation Army cot
was scary as shit.
Not the cot, it was
unassuming,
and not the worst
bed I’d ever slept on.
But being in it,
hearing the snorks
and snores
and cries
and night noises
from the other lost members
of the
loser
tribe
triggered a
flight instinct that
I had no way to follow through on.
But it was better
than the crank rage,
broken walls,
and screaming demons
in bloodshot eyes we’d fled;
fled for...

my skin is a canvas
since i was born, i drew on it
i always had the utensils to create a masterpiece
since i was born, i knew that.
when i first went to school
they saw how different i was,
my mind and my body,
they didn’t like that
nor the fact that my skin
shone bright in all the colors of the rainbow.
the others may not have all the utensils i had
or didn’t know how to use them
now my pride began to crumble
because everything i liked -
everything i was - was disliked.
fast forward,...
