Who do you think YOU are
telling me I’m a piece of shit?!?!
You’re no better than me!
Stop staring! I can take you down!
Don’t you know I used to wrestle in high school?
What do you mean I wasn’t any good?
I wrestled my heart out! I gave it my all...100%!
Fuck you!
So what if I didn’t take a state title... doesn’t mean you’re any better than me!
I have GREAT qualities. I make people laugh, I help them when they’re down, I’m honest, polite, respectful....I’m a FUCKING GOOD GUY!

Splash
I watched the water cascade down the mountains peak only to fall to its untimely death
Splash
Splash
Splash
The earth began to quiver and shake and primal screams emerged
as the water fell more quickly
Splash!
Splash!
Splash!
Do I stay? Or do I run?
Or do I let someone see the tears falling from my eyes?
Splash!!
Splash!!!
SPLASH!!!!

Horticulture
I prefer my trees
My flowers, shrubs
And weeds
They fill my lungs with petal breath
Never refuse breakfast
No.. plants are easy
People have a way with disappointment and complaining, though I’ve tried
Friends
Such uncooperative beings
That’s why, I choose gardening
Sweet little sprouts, buds
Thorns
All in rows for me to tend..
Even the sun acknowledges my efforts
It labors with me
Many seasons I have gone
Without someone to water me
Hold my hand
Trim my leaves ...
My flowers, shrubs
And weeds
They fill my lungs with petal breath
Never refuse breakfast
No.. plants are easy
People have a way with disappointment and complaining, though I’ve tried
Friends
Such uncooperative beings
That’s why, I choose gardening
Sweet little sprouts, buds
Thorns
All in rows for me to tend..
Even the sun acknowledges my efforts
It labors with me
Many seasons I have gone
Without someone to water me
Hold my hand
Trim my leaves ...

Dissociation
My anxiety spikes and I don’t feel normal.
So I write another page in my poetry journal.
It grounds me so I know it’s not real.
It’s all in my head, it’s what I feel.
It’s a nightmare except I’m awake.
I lose grip, I’m starting to shake.
The goosebumps, they’re all over the place.
A physical reaction to something that’s fake.
A movie I made up inside my mind.
Fears and scenarios of every kind.
I don’t know where they come from, where they hide.
All I know is I can’t stop the movies in my mind.
The world...

Trapped
I see him trapped within his own head
Picking at food but never really eating
Laying down to rest but never really sleeping
Walking around the house but not knowing where to go
I want to tell those shadows that scream at him
To leave him alone and come after me
I want to fight his battles because
that’s what mothers do
That’s the job I signed up for
Let me do it
Picking at food but never really eating
Laying down to rest but never really sleeping
Walking around the house but not knowing where to go
I want to tell those shadows that scream at him
To leave him alone and come after me
I want to fight his battles because
that’s what mothers do
That’s the job I signed up for
Let me do it

Combusted
Stress pupplping through veins giving me a overwhelming strain and headaches, memories filled with pain I don’t wanna feel this way. Left in all disgrace a human in a most vulnerable space. Left alone to find their way. In all’s hope they’ll be okay , but dread and misery are the same place with darkness prowling and invading space making sure you know your place.

A Mom’s Realization
Today I sat silently as my son
My 2nd born
Told the doctor how many times
He had thoughts of suicide.
Tears ran down my cheeks
How did I not know?
I tried to be the best mom I could
But that wasn’t enough?
And then I realized as I listened
That this wasn’t about me
It’s about him...and those are the words
That I need to hear in the silence.
My 2nd born
Told the doctor how many times
He had thoughts of suicide.
Tears ran down my cheeks
How did I not know?
I tried to be the best mom I could
But that wasn’t enough?
And then I realized as I listened
That this wasn’t about me
It’s about him...and those are the words
That I need to hear in the silence.

Dark day
I awoke to a sunny room
But it didn't shine for me
The birds sang their sweet morning tune
But they didn't sing for me
Strangers smiled and spoke hellos
But no one spoke to me
Artists spread their cheer in lively yellow
But they didn't paint for me
I'm heading down a deep hole
My heart's in a bad place
It's beauty for all others
But for me it's a dark day
But it didn't shine for me
The birds sang their sweet morning tune
But they didn't sing for me
Strangers smiled and spoke hellos
But no one spoke to me
Artists spread their cheer in lively yellow
But they didn't paint for me
I'm heading down a deep hole
My heart's in a bad place
It's beauty for all others
But for me it's a dark day

Where truth hides
Down below
Truth lies hidden
Underneath fraudulent emotions
Who shroud the secrets
With deceptive covers
They put on a good show
For all to see
While secretly hiding
Their dark doppelgangers
Those true feelings
Only rise to the surface
When no one else is around
These feelings are...
The one's who want to suffocate
And break you down
The one's who want to take a little bit of
Life everytime they arise
The one's who want to keep you hidden
And all alone
Till you...
Truth lies hidden
Underneath fraudulent emotions
Who shroud the secrets
With deceptive covers
They put on a good show
For all to see
While secretly hiding
Their dark doppelgangers
Those true feelings
Only rise to the surface
When no one else is around
These feelings are...
The one's who want to suffocate
And break you down
The one's who want to take a little bit of
Life everytime they arise
The one's who want to keep you hidden
And all alone
Till you...

Are you OK?
Are you OK?
Nobody knows
Too many feelings
I didn't want to show
You seem different
Than you were before
Like another person
Just walked through the door
Wide eyes
Wild stare
Looking far away
For something that's not there
Gotta make myself
Put on a show
Play that character
Everyone knows
Which is the real me
I wish I knew
I'm one whole person
Divided into
Am I OK?
I don't know
Two personalities battle
But which is the foe
Nobody knows
Too many feelings
I didn't want to show
You seem different
Than you were before
Like another person
Just walked through the door
Wide eyes
Wild stare
Looking far away
For something that's not there
Gotta make myself
Put on a show
Play that character
Everyone knows
Which is the real me
I wish I knew
I'm one whole person
Divided into
Am I OK?
I don't know
Two personalities battle
But which is the foe

Stay away
Narrow slit eyes
Follow me
Wherever I go
Moving through
Darkened alleys
Back and forth so slow
Listen for my breath
And line me in chalk
You can't go
Where I go
Stay away
I see the hidden knife
Drowning in malaise
You can't have my life
If this isn't making sense
Don't complain
Just stop reading
You've nothing left to gain
If paranoia grips you
And tragedy you can't turn away
Find its soulless eyes
And set your fixated gaze
Follow me
Wherever I go
Moving through
Darkened alleys
Back and forth so slow
Listen for my breath
And line me in chalk
You can't go
Where I go
Stay away
I see the hidden knife
Drowning in malaise
You can't have my life
If this isn't making sense
Don't complain
Just stop reading
You've nothing left to gain
If paranoia grips you
And tragedy you can't turn away
Find its soulless eyes
And set your fixated gaze

Bipolar (Highs&Lows)
(HIGHS)
It’s the rush of adrenaline pumping through your veins as the roller coaster climbs to the top and stops; just long enough for you to gasp for breath and scream.
It’s the soothing serenity of the hot bath water gently calming the sharp pain from your tense muscles after a long days work.
It’s the brief endorphins pulsing through your brain waves during a belly aching laugh.
It’s the slight sense of mortality and weightlessness you feel as yours hands slip when you try to cross the monkey bars.
(LOWS)
It’s the sour...
