Writing scares me.
Writing scares me.
It gives me shivers,
Typing, thinking of what to say.
Trying to that aching feeling in my chest,
To say it in a way that means something.
Meaning more than a first draft,
As much as something's weight in blood,
Worth more than sweat and tears.
A photographic capture,
A possession of myself,
Working to fulfill this
Outpour of a blurb.
Typed and read,
Submitted and forgotten.
Writing scares me,
Because what if I've gotten it all wrong.
It gives me shivers,
Typing, thinking of what to say.
Trying to that aching feeling in my chest,
To say it in a way that means something.
Meaning more than a first draft,
As much as something's weight in blood,
Worth more than sweat and tears.
A photographic capture,
A possession of myself,
Working to fulfill this
Outpour of a blurb.
Typed and read,
Submitted and forgotten.
Writing scares me,
Because what if I've gotten it all wrong.

question loneliness
i have
begun to
question
loneliness,
rearrange
my thoughts,
whether
light day
or dark
of night,
i come
up with
the same
problems,
because
there is
no one
here to
help me
understand.

The Checked Box
It’s not in my head.
You keep telling me, “The labs look great, the scans are clean. Maybe, it’s your brain that needs fixing. Maybe… you should try therapy.”
Try therapy? I’ve tried therapy.
I’ve worked through every last emotion until all that’s left is red rage, because there is nothing more to uncover. Nothing more to see than a doctor whose blinders have blinded me.
You make me question every question I ask. Make me wonder, maybe it is all in my head. Because if there was something really wrong, if it was really that bad, someone would’ve figured it...

am i wrong
the quiet
is deafening,
now in
this alone,
in this
darkness,
i am
sitting,
waiting,
anticipating
someone,
anyone,
could i
be wrong,
i don't
want to
be wrong.

Sometimes, I Wonder
Sometimes I wonder, if the hands of fate,
Will act again.
And bring us where we began.
If destiny repeals a prior mistake,
And brings us together, in it's wake.
Sometimes I wonder, if it's true,
All these feelings, I feel for you.
Are you a flame, from the past,
Meant to burn, but not to last.
Sometimes I wonder, if that's so,
Why then have I, not let go.
Relieve you to some others arms,
Away then, from my harm.
Sometimes I wonder, about these things.
And of the troubles that they bring.
And yet to...
Will act again.
And bring us where we began.
If destiny repeals a prior mistake,
And brings us together, in it's wake.
Sometimes I wonder, if it's true,
All these feelings, I feel for you.
Are you a flame, from the past,
Meant to burn, but not to last.
Sometimes I wonder, if that's so,
Why then have I, not let go.
Relieve you to some others arms,
Away then, from my harm.
Sometimes I wonder, about these things.
And of the troubles that they bring.

war and peace
war and peace
Let me say for those who seek peace
as a commendable activity and thankless
War is as natural to man as peace is
from the Stone Age to here
the final goal is to eradicate ourselves
is nearing the ultimate chapter
Then there will be peace.

the cook
The humble cook
Once upon a time, a cook was a person who prepared food for hungry people, simple food like meat cakes in gravy and boiled potatoes
one needed not to be a genius, but the person knew how to fry eggs or scrambled eggs
could read and write in order not to mistake rat poison for garlic powder
It was a whole profession, like being a butcher
a baker, house painter, or a barber
Times have changed in occupations like these, and something
more is expected, like art? Are you serious
The cook is now a chef, highly paid for...

What is This?
The restless static in my head.
Static that reaches my bed. No comfort here, turn back to see everything engulfed in static and noise. It rings and clashes at your head. Uncomfortable feelings of dread. Persistently upset. Unsatisfied, unreal, unkempt. Distaste of human race, it's pounding at the walls. Let it out hurry up! It's gonna be too late soon. It'll get in and go straight for the jugular. I'm not moving but I'm trying. My body is refusing its instructions. I look down to see my legs all fuzzy, muddled, and wrapped in static. Gotta hurry! I open the door to ear piercing screams....

Latent Paranoia
Endless Numbers, Slashing an Opening
A new set of senses, weary, digging upward through the ether
Eight cups of distilled essence—nothing of the sort exists,
Lightning flows in glass veins,
The earth's core in disarray, gravity redistributed,
The heart is scrubbed repeatedly, tissues flushed with translucent blood, nerves leaping
Each keystroke aligns with reality, a light touch triggers fate
She truly is an idol, crystalline lenses refract moonlight upon her
Behind her, slender pillars of flesh connect to a brooding, damp...

Cashing In
Accumulating sins like lint on a second-hand
cashmere sweater indulging my eyes pandering
bimbos at Purgatory's Drivethru and Diners
canceling debts and cashing in my Poker Chips
waiting for Mr. Big to punch my Pass Goal Free
Card
I could get used to all this mascara covering up
veins and Harley Davidson tattoos. But do I have
to leave my mind's prosthesis behind or Mama
who is on the second shelf in the refrigerator
in a Tupperware container, dated, 1976

In The Light
Do you love?
Do you lie?
Do you lie awake at night?
Do you want?
Do you fight?
Do you do what's wrong or right?
In the light.
You said you love me, but baby is it true?
Do you want me, cause babe, I know I want you.
You told me you loved me, but that was a secret.
I know you're not talking, but why would you want to keep it?
Well do you love?
Do you lie?
Do you lie awake at night?
Do you want?
Do you fight?
Do you do what's wrong or right?
Do you love?
Do you lie? ...
Do you lie?
Do you lie awake at night?
Do you want?
Do you fight?
Do you do what's wrong or right?

You said you love me, but baby is it true?
Do you want me, cause babe, I know I want you.
You told me you loved me, but that was a secret.
I know you're not talking, but why would you want to keep it?
Well do you love?
Do you lie?
Do you lie awake at night?
Do you want?
Do you fight?
Do you do what's wrong or right?
Do you love?
Do you lie? ...
