Reality with no end
Always attached to her sadness
abandoned
loneliness was her best friend
forgotten by society
no one wanted to be her friend
abandoned in the corner of the silence
that is her life, every day
she hides her sorrow in a blade
In the silence of the darkness she wakes up alone again
a dream to never surrender,
a reality that has no end
abandoned
loneliness was her best friend
forgotten by society
no one wanted to be her friend
abandoned in the corner of the silence
that is her life, every day
she hides her sorrow in a blade
In the silence of the darkness she wakes up alone again
a dream to never surrender,
a reality that has no end

A Hold on Me
something’s
gripping tight
the air
suffocates
walls lean in
like whispers
and the devil's
knuckles knock
who is it inside
I’m fading away
lost in the echo
of my own voice
gripping tight
the air
suffocates
walls lean in
like whispers
and the devil's
knuckles knock
who is it inside
I’m fading away
lost in the echo
of my own voice

Home Sweet Home?
Strapped and cornered by those who shudder at my behavior
Constant reminder of a past of trauma
My brain is useless
Thrown away into a dark cell to rot so slowly
They say they loved me, no action taken to show compassion
Endless ward, fully alone
Diagnosed anxiety – fluctuate – medicate
No hope of healing, normality is a dream
I remember just what you said that cut me so deep
My body image, it has been slaughtered thanks to your mocking stares
I hate life when challenged
I try to stay so sane
I hate life when it burns
Sometimes...
Constant reminder of a past of trauma
My brain is useless
Thrown away into a dark cell to rot so slowly

I remember just what you said that cut me so deep
My body image, it has been slaughtered thanks to your mocking stares
I hate life when challenged
I try to stay so sane

it’s all the same
creation of a breath
leading to eventual death

Fade
falling through memories I watch you fade
touching your soul we come close, then pull away
darkness of faith I love you utterly
captivating my heart you charm
spilling my secrets I tell you everything
my closest confidant
I need to tell you there is something missing
caress the feeling and talk to me
of today and always
my sorrow grows when you leave
with the knowledge I can't reach
to touch all the places you hide
my soul seeks yours
we fall apart and then make up
old hurts grow and distance is caused ...

Gentle Thunderstorms Within
There is a soothing storm within.
Gently, thunder booms from my heart.
Gentle heartbeats make emotional waves
and I cannot stop my feelings for her.
There is a teary deluge within.
My tears, the wine of my loneliness,
which intoxicates me until I’m love-struck
and then I am inebriated with the red wine of love.
The cloudburst in the sky of my crimson eyes,
the drunkenness of being wanted,
the overwhelming desire to be loved,
as for the arctic reality, my heart thunders on.
Gently, thunder booms from my heart.
Gentle heartbeats make emotional waves
and I cannot stop my feelings for her.
There is a teary deluge within.
My tears, the wine of my loneliness,
which intoxicates me until I’m love-struck
and then I am inebriated with the red wine of love.
The cloudburst in the sky of my crimson eyes,
the drunkenness of being wanted,
the overwhelming desire to be loved,
as for the arctic reality, my heart thunders on.

Yesterday 11:53pm
it feels like...
It's the dry grass crackle
under bare feet
in the middle of summer
It's lightning cracking
on an empty horizon
lighting up the world
It's the tap tap tap of rain
on an unseen window
on a gloomy day
It's the smell of rot
when the storm stays too long
and the weeds bloom as the grass dies
It's the feeling of my fingernails
worrying a scab on my arm
that I refuse to let heal
It's eyes closed against
the beauty of today because
the ugly tells me I don't deserve it
...

In Rest
A picture of her smiling face
and the hook,
caught my eye
Stopped my scroll
The post concluded with
a cause of death...
Wasn't the cancer,
-A broken heart
filled the casket
And Fuck!
I've lived with this one
for 30 years,
-no mercy
offered
Some luck
goes unrealised
Now, she'll never know.

Even Sweet Girls can be Bitter Princesses
The crown is mine, said the princess
in a voice as sweet as snow.
None can play in this kingdom now.
Not a step, not a sound, not a show...
Until she says so, until she lets it go.
With a smile she took her throne
beneath the sky’s golden glow.
Her decree echoed through the land
and all the games ceased to flow.
Until she says so, until she lets it go.
The court stood silent, eyes wide,
as the princess ruled the floor.
Her presence strong, undeniable.
Her will, they would not ignore.
Until she says...
in a voice as sweet as snow.
None can play in this kingdom now.
Not a step, not a sound, not a show...

Washing the sheets of the ghosts in this madhouse
In the shadows of regret I walk.
Carrying the heavy load of my choices.
Echoes of decisions whisper in my mind...
Bathing me in yellow flowers with every step
like a bitter memory.
Disappointment as a constant specter.
Black wings that surround the heart...
Smothering the light with a veil of sadness.
Bath you in yellow flowers without time
for the desire to change that consumes me.
If I could go back in time and rewrite history...
Erase mistakes or heal wounds
or even exchange each tear for a new moment.
Bath him in...
Carrying the heavy load of my choices.
Echoes of decisions whisper in my mind...
Bathing me in yellow flowers with every step
like a bitter memory.
Disappointment as a constant specter.
Black wings that surround the heart...
Smothering the light with a veil of sadness.
Bath you in yellow flowers without time
for the desire to change that consumes me.
If I could go back in time and rewrite history...
Erase mistakes or heal wounds
or even exchange each tear for a new moment.
Bath him in...

decision fatigue
Decision fatigue:
it feels like a permanent brain freeze after trying
to inhale too much icecream. Decision making literally hurts, particularly anything open ended.
Small decisions are exhausting but doable.
Hard decisions are panic attack inducing.
The small every day things that everyone else
does feel like looking up at Mt Everest.
Add in depression and anxiety and you've got a
recipe for chaos.
I swore at you in the hardware store
after you tried to bully me into making
a decision I didn't need to...

Mother may I?
Mother may I go outside?
It's raining but I'll stay dry,
Mother may I have some dinner,
It's you I despise you're the sinner,
Up against the wall my back is turned,
The love you gave me it only burns,
I can't hide in my closet you'll look there first,
Under my bed is even worse,
You were always a bitch you were always mean,
You left your fingerprints at the crime scene,
Your abuse was emotional and physical too,
Mother I am done with you,
You abused me until I was an adult mother this is all your fault.
It's raining but I'll stay dry,
Mother may I have some dinner,
