the line beneath the metaphors
You ask me how I am
and we talk around the problem
your frustration
my lingering silence
if I don't tell you what's wrong
it won't make this real
I dream of ocean tides
pulling me under
it's only half a metaphor
I'm both the victim
and the predator
Top me up with dopamine
readjust these mood drops with Prozac
and enough talk therapy
to make me lose my voice
and the desire to set
my own mind on fire
You ask me how I am
and I dodge the question
like I dodge every...
and we talk around the problem
your frustration
my lingering silence
if I don't tell you what's wrong
it won't make this real
I dream of ocean tides
pulling me under
it's only half a metaphor
I'm both the victim
and the predator
Top me up with dopamine
readjust these mood drops with Prozac
and enough talk therapy
to make me lose my voice
and the desire to set
my own mind on fire
You ask me how I am

Hollow Crown
I feel your weight upon my chest,
A hollow crown I can't contest.
You speak in tongues I almost know,
A language carved in undertow.
Each step I take is backwards now,
Your shadow bends, I learn to bow.
And I am tethered to the ache,
A fragile thread I dare not break.
Drag me down where your kingdom starts,
Bury me beneath your heart.
Lay your claim, tear my temple down,
Crown me with your hollow crown.
Let the void seep into my veins,
'Til nothing but your will remains.
Your hands are cold but so alive, ...
A hollow crown I can't contest.
You speak in tongues I almost know,
A language carved in undertow.
Each step I take is backwards now,
Your shadow bends, I learn to bow.
And I am tethered to the ache,
A fragile thread I dare not break.
Drag me down where your kingdom starts,
Bury me beneath your heart.
Lay your claim, tear my temple down,
Crown me with your hollow crown.
Let the void seep into my veins,
'Til nothing but your will remains.
Your hands are cold but so alive, ...

Threadbare
I wear you like a second skin,
A wound that whispers from within.
You move in shadows, cold and deep,
An ache that steals what I can keep.
Your name is written on my bones,
A curse I carry, not my own.
And I can feel you pulling tighter,
A threadbare soul, a fading fighter.
Unravel me—
Let me come undone.
Leave me hollow,
Underneath your sun.
This fragile thread,
Frays with every breath.
Unravel me—
I'll be yours in death.
Your silence drowns the light of day,
A void where promises decay. ...
A wound that whispers from within.
You move in shadows, cold and deep,
An ache that steals what I can keep.
Your name is written on my bones,
A curse I carry, not my own.
And I can feel you pulling tighter,
A threadbare soul, a fading fighter.
Unravel me—
Let me come undone.
Leave me hollow,
Underneath your sun.
This fragile thread,
Frays with every breath.
Unravel me—
I'll be yours in death.
Your silence drowns the light of day,
A void where promises decay. ...

Leeches
Hideous leeches with narcissistic mirrors
puppets on strings caught in a crossfire
expecting immunity to their insanity
beyond the shadows and house of clay
showing their colors cheating in life
hearing echoes of grandiosity caught
in a crossfire, gumming Cheetos
puppets on strings caught in a crossfire

Wheels Fell Off
The night the wheels fell off and now the wings
of flying monkeys chasing shadows on the edge
of Gothmn City thinking he was Batman as stars
blinked neon with the air thick as his whiskers
gasping from his mind's abyss adrift in chaos
weaving tales of obscenity without thought
as he unravels the night the wheels fell off
of flying monkeys chasing shadows on the edge
of Gothmn City thinking he was Batman as stars
blinked neon with the air thick as his whiskers
gasping from his mind's abyss adrift in chaos
weaving tales of obscenity without thought
as he unravels the night the wheels fell off

Between The Sun's Ray's
Beneath the golden kiss of light
Where sunbeams trace their fleeting path
There lurks a dark, a yawning blight
A silent hymn of ancient wrath
No mortal eye may pierce its shroud
No hopeful gaze may see it clear
Yet whispers crawl, obscene, aloud
To haunt the soul and drown the ear
This shadow walks where light should reign
A maw of night where none may flee
It hums a dirge of binding chains
A dread that bends eternity
What lies beneath that veil so thin?
What claws unseen reach through the air?

Praises
I wandered wastes of ash and stone
Where winds would gnaw and sing its tone
No mortal tongue could still my plight
Only whispers of deceit in the night
Yet in the black of heavens torn
I found wisdom carved in relics worn
Bones of saints, their silent cries
Echoed truths where hope yet dies
The lamb’s triumph was blood-etched lore
A feast where shadows weep and adore
Salvation writ in iron chains
In hymns of fire and eternal pains
Within the cloisters of the dead
Where incense cloaks what once was dread ...
Where winds would gnaw and sing its tone
No mortal tongue could still my plight
Only whispers of deceit in the night
Yet in the black of heavens torn
I found wisdom carved in relics worn
Bones of saints, their silent cries
Echoed truths where hope yet dies
The lamb’s triumph was blood-etched lore
A feast where shadows weep and adore
Salvation writ in iron chains
In hymns of fire and eternal pains
Within the cloisters of the dead
Where incense cloaks what once was dread ...

Pulp Fiction
"Trust not the heart, for it's a dance"
As the dark becomes the hunter
into the fray before dawn breaks
In a labyrinth where echoes dwell
of murmurs fraught with wilting grief
Wearing a fedora of haunting fatale
behind a shadowed door of faded memories
As the dark becomes the hunter
into the fray before dawn breaks
In a labyrinth where echoes dwell
of murmurs fraught with wilting grief
Wearing a fedora of haunting fatale
behind a shadowed door of faded memories

Eclipseing Me
Your whispers fill the hollow air,
A hymn that binds, a wordless snare.
You’re not a god, but I kneel still,
A shadow draped in quiet will.
Your touch is poison laced in gold,
A promise ancient, silent, cold.
And I am nothing—just a vessel,
Your voice, a hymn I dare not wrestle.
Take me—
Unmake me—
Let the void flood my veins,
'Til the silence becomes my name.
Shape me—
Erase me—
Every thought you claim as your own,
And I fall into you, alone.
I trace the lines you carved in me,
A map of...
A hymn that binds, a wordless snare.
You’re not a god, but I kneel still,
A shadow draped in quiet will.
Your touch is poison laced in gold,
A promise ancient, silent, cold.
And I am nothing—just a vessel,
Your voice, a hymn I dare not wrestle.
Take me—
Unmake me—
Let the void flood my veins,
'Til the silence becomes my name.
Shape me—
Erase me—
Every thought you claim as your own,
And I fall into you, alone.
I trace the lines you carved in me,

Where Swans Go to Die
Beneath the world, where whispers fade
A realm of shadows cold and stark
The path in death is arrayed
Where swans go guided by the dark
The walls are stone, like frozen breath
Their veins of moss, a pale decay
A hymnless choir, the song of death
In echoes lost where none shall stay
Each mummified face, a silent scream
Their sockets wide with horror's plight
As if caught within some endless dream
Where dawn forever yields to night
The air hangs thick, a stagnant pool
A crypt of ages locked in time
As though...
A realm of shadows cold and stark
The path in death is arrayed
Where swans go guided by the dark
The walls are stone, like frozen breath
Their veins of moss, a pale decay
A hymnless choir, the song of death
In echoes lost where none shall stay
Each mummified face, a silent scream
Their sockets wide with horror's plight
As if caught within some endless dream
Where dawn forever yields to night
The air hangs thick, a stagnant pool
A crypt of ages locked in time
As though...

Daring To Be Negative
A big problem I face is having to soften up my words to make myself digestible to others. When honestly I have no capacity to be anything but authentic even if it stings.
A girl from that support group I dropped reached out to see if I need anything and wanted to connect on zoom. I said that's nice to hear, but that my problems are beyond anyone's help. I'm well aware of this, which is why I prefer to be alone. It's a necessity honestly. I knew it would be one day especially when people started finding out about the monster within.
I don't really talk on Facebook anymore...

I Looked In The Trees
I looked in the trees.
The panther gave a cold deadly stare.
It leaped itself towards me.
The panther gave a cold deadly stare.
It leaped itself towards me.
