Fluctuating walls
I have entered a house i do not understand
I try to touch the walls but they fluctuate
The floor moans
A silly cat says I love you
Then scratches
What do cats know about love anyway.
I speak to the cupboard
I speak to the bed
I speak to the drawer
And they reply things I do not understand at all
I am in a strange house
That is so hostile to me now
And then good
Then unfriendly
And refined
I am in a strange house
Where are the humans
There is no one around
Just a bin with beers ...

People
I don’t wanna cry anymore
I don’t wanna feel
I don’t wanna lie anymore
I don’t wanna kneel
Kneel at the mercy of others
Kneel for their respect
Kneel for their worthiness
Ignoring the neglect
My heart pangs with pain
Body filled with disdain
I want love and pleasure
And yet I continue to refrain
I’m stuck at the mercy of others
I’m hiding under my covers
The world makes me afraid
People make me afraid
I don’t wanna feel
I don’t wanna lie anymore
I don’t wanna kneel
Kneel at the mercy of others
Kneel for their respect
Kneel for their worthiness
Ignoring the neglect
My heart pangs with pain
Body filled with disdain
I want love and pleasure
And yet I continue to refrain
I’m stuck at the mercy of others
I’m hiding under my covers
The world makes me afraid
People make me afraid

Where would we be
Without the freedom
Gifted by poetic License
Somewhere you'd never
Find the likes of me
I pay homage to
The kings and queens
Who taught us what jubilation
This practice would be

cat people tend to be the butt of jokes
you know the old saying...
...crazy cat lady...guilty as charged
let me tell you something though
these ladies saved me
when we entered isolation status
they were my only companions
my motivation to keep moving
Bella is the eldest...rolling into her 16th year
just starting to show signs of dementia
leaving the room & crying...as if to say
I can't remember where I left ya
she always calms when I call out
you'd never know it now...
but in her youth...

The Hate in the Darkness
When did I make this transition to a hater?
Dont know if I ever stopped to notice it before
But its clearly there lurking around in my mind
When I hear inspirational stories or read uplifting material
I feel animosity bubble up, like you would with a braggert
As if they're throwing it in my face how great their life is
Or how far they've come in their journey of betterment
Its like, yea fucking great for you. Im so happy for you
The power of positivity. The payoff of perseverence.
Ugh...makes my stomach...

I'm tired of giving standard answers
to impertinent questions
then watching their faces
as they struggle to hide how they're assessing my worth
based on their one dimensional judgment
determining themselves to be better
...at whatever
the next time I'm asked
how much do you weigh
I'm simply going to say
I bear the weight of 20,367 days
a thousand & 1 stupid queries
countless empty smiles
when eyes show a different story
I bear the burden of so many mistakes
...the sheer...

Delirious and deluding
Confused and confusing
Bewildering and bemusing
My constant conscious state
Before entering any building!
Amused and amusing
Astounding and awe inducing
My awesome ample state
Before committing to seducing!
Enthused and enthusing
Explicit and oh so oozing
My eager earnest state
Before exiting at my choosing!

Don't Read
you need
no invitation
to veiw these
written words
brutal confessional
highlights
that each syllable
describes so well
bloody scratches
scraping along paper
letters as glass shards
penetrating eyealls
spreading across lines
dark emotional stress
cracking pressure points
i'm still here worse luck
brutalising unwitting senses
creating unsafe environments
had enough yet
is this not relatable
its functional depression
without pretty colours
holding back tidal waves ...

What on earth!?
What on earth is happening
What on earth is going on
Can’t keep up with all the calamity
But everything’s going wrong
First my dad gets cancer
Then I find my own mum dead
Now they think I have HIV
And it’s fucking with my head
Just give a girl a fucking break
Let me please chill the fuck out
Need a lie down in a quiet room
It’s stirred up so much doubt
Brother in rehab the year before last
A cousin with a brain tumour too
Got debt coming out my eye balls
And yet I keep plodding on
...

Russian roulette

it's never been my immediate go-to
drowning my emotions in the contents of a bottle
not much point...
when it takes so little to knock me on my ass
& when I do...it's equal odds...
it might distance me from the haunting...
...or it could cause me to wallow
no way to be sure
still...
I load that weapon with a single shot
take my chances & spin the chamber
just on the off chance I might escape the pain
then reel off toward whichever death it leads me
if...even for a minute...there's any hope to be...

Death Metal Lullaby
At night
I hear death metal
Playing faintly in the distance
Maybe from the downstairs apartment
Or maybe from the deepest expanse
Of my ignored existence
I’ve never been a death metal
Type of gal
I’ve always sought out smooth
Rhythms keeping their balanced tempos
And safe chords
Never been one to step on someone’s toes
Or argue
Or stand up for myself
A people pleasing monster
Denying only myself
So maybe at night
Is when my body rebels
Screaming into the night ...
