Lost in My head
Sometimes I cry when I can't make words out of dancing images
I have lied in the past to be mistakenly understood
Relief from mistaken compassion welcomed
Sometimes words come more freely when medication is lost
Though not one to go off regimen
For doing so brings chaos and destruction
Relationships become skewed and intention misguided
Picking up the pieces becomes habit
Apologizing loses its effectiveness
The brain is mysterious when clouded and freeing Her a challenge
Writing releases tension and...

My Mental
What's wrong with me
why do these thoughts fill my head
My outlook is bleak
my thoughts filled with dread
On the outside
I seem fine
but truth be told
I haven't been for quite some time
I fake it till I make it
I force a smile
If I seem happy
maybe people will leave me alone for a while
I don't fit in
always feel alone
I always have a house
but never a home
Voices taunt me
secret conversations in my head
They tell me I'm worthless
and better off dead
I push these thoughts away
I hide...

Endless Nights
cycle of nature
of day and night
endlessly churning
through time
the joy of day
stripped away
as night lies
close beside
and sight of the light
being consumed by night
confirms what I know to be true
none can stand against night’s might
all memories of light fade to gray
against this night that won’t go away
all-consuming, all-powerful
perceptions changing, insurmountable
there is no bend to this night that will not end
but light shines in the nick of time
like a...

The wolf of mistreat
We were a pack of wolves who were connected by emotions
We hustled but ate off different plates
I chose to come see where you ate & felt the most comfortable
You made me feel welcomed each time I stayed
You gave full access to whatever whenever I wanted
We started & went hard from the beginning
I saw potential & you assured me it was worth it
The potential I saw was my own image of what I saw in you
Brought to tears in the place I saw you eat at
You mistakenly let me see where...

Satisfy
I wonder when I will ever truly embrace acceptance and know self love.
To heal tattered wounds of ghostly pain.
I want to embrace passionate energy.
Do you feel the pull of your passion?
Will you look with me towards the center of my anxiety?
You've come a long way at just the right time.
My heart beats wildly within the confines of my mind.
I struggle as I inhale deeply, I struggle to even breathe.
My chest rises and falls with the sound of meditative instruction. I wait for healing.
Soon...
To heal tattered wounds of ghostly pain.
I want to embrace passionate energy.
Do you feel the pull of your passion?
Will you look with me towards the center of my anxiety?
You've come a long way at just the right time.
My heart beats wildly within the confines of my mind.
I struggle as I inhale deeply, I struggle to even breathe.
My chest rises and falls with the sound of meditative instruction. I wait for healing.
Soon...

Straight Talk (When The Core Of The Mind Refuses To Speak Coherently)
I will attempt to elaborate on the more aggressive theories that seem to marginalize, relevant concerns that has made me ponder and see if I intricate the whys, or at least find the source of its understanding.
I had to revisit the concept of understanding the complexities of the mind due in part.
Mental illness seems to on the uprise, and it is affecting our youth at an alarming rate. Thus far the statistical for adults has not started for the margin.
A slope in the statistical incline, or shift seems to be affecting the Caucasian youth, more...

Sometimes
Sometimes it's difficult to imagine
A world where I can be
Confident
That I won't forget
Something
Sometimes it's difficult to express
Feelings
Without fear
Sometimes I cry
Because I'm frustrated
That my mind doesn't
Function
Like it should
And sometimes all I want is a hug
But there is nobody
Because my brain
Is not something that anyone
Wants to deal with
A world where I can be
Confident
That I won't forget
Something
Sometimes it's difficult to express
Feelings
Without fear
Sometimes I cry
Because I'm frustrated
That my mind doesn't
Function
Like it should
And sometimes all I want is a hug
But there is nobody
Because my brain
Is not something that anyone
Wants to deal with

Rest in pieces
Lights growing dim
Fading away
Slipped off the path
Lost my way
Sliding
Losing my grip
Drowning in quicksand
Up to my ribs
Heart slowing down
Pushed too hard
It's broken now
Think its falling apart
Just let me be
Tired of fighting myself
Ready to give up
No need to call help
Show is over
No curtain calls
Remember me
Before the fall
Don't blame yourself
You're not the reason
Just move on with your life
Let me rest in pieces
Fading away
Slipped off the path
Lost my way
Sliding
Losing my grip
Drowning in quicksand
Up to my ribs
Heart slowing down
Pushed too hard
It's broken now
Think its falling apart
Just let me be
Tired of fighting myself
Ready to give up
No need to call help
Show is over
No curtain calls
Remember me
Before the fall
Don't blame yourself
You're not the reason
Just move on with your life
Let me rest in pieces

I whisper: Why..?
I can't explain why am I cursed with this depression...
Trough out my path I tried my best, did what I could...
Just to become the monster I am today.
A cinder heart of hate, and a stormy resentful soul
A shivering ghost enchanted by panic and fear
A stomach stuffed with supplements In foolish hope of a better day...
Darkened eyes which see only injustice
A schizophrenic mind, paranoid and delusional
A chilling lethargy roaming the house
This so called chemical imbalance has taken my future
sabotaged my...

Down Cast
Into the car this morning,
Alone.
It’s a quarter to ten, my small window of peace.
I feel like Gilbert Grape,
walking around with a hidden shame for this is my newest secret.
She hasn’t always been this bad, my mother.
Her new plateau.
Answering my own question,
“Oh, August of last year since I have seen it clean.”
Since a guest has been over,
Or a table prepared for dinner.
She hasn’t always been this sick, my mother.
For me
A smile and pressed clothes.
At work – I look so put together.
My station so...

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...
