A Future in Bleeding
I'm a mere photograph of who I used to want to be
This future to me seems to be growing more ghastly
Fondle through memories that presently seem
to be little more than another midday fever-dream
I want to exist in a cheap motel lit by a single beam
Of light flickering illuminating my lifeless little scene
A Televison with no picture after I smashed the screen
Just muttering fools seeling me a get-rich-quick scheme
Something happened in my youth
I'll never actually tell you
Because those are words I choose
Never to...
This future to me seems to be growing more ghastly
Fondle through memories that presently seem
to be little more than another midday fever-dream
I want to exist in a cheap motel lit by a single beam
Of light flickering illuminating my lifeless little scene
A Televison with no picture after I smashed the screen
Just muttering fools seeling me a get-rich-quick scheme
Something happened in my youth
I'll never actually tell you
Because those are words I choose
Never to...

Unfixable
I hear it in my mind
Too short, too fat
Noting's ever good enough
Stop doing this and do that
I see all the flaws
Laughing back at me
No where to hide
No means to be free
What is wrong with you?
They ask "Why feel this way"?
Nothing is wrong
I'm fine...I finally say
I go back in my shell
Curl up inside
Motivation slips away
Too tired to cry
I struggle to keep going
I know what to do
I just don't have it in me
Consumed by the blues
When I look in...
Too short, too fat
Noting's ever good enough
Stop doing this and do that
I see all the flaws
Laughing back at me
No where to hide
No means to be free
What is wrong with you?
They ask "Why feel this way"?
Nothing is wrong
I'm fine...I finally say
I go back in my shell
Curl up inside
Motivation slips away
Too tired to cry
I struggle to keep going
I know what to do
I just don't have it in me
Consumed by the blues
When I look in...

Pain
What if its all just umbrellas for the rain?
————
We’ve just shoved ourselves down the drain?
————
Where do I put all this pain?

Silent Madness
Deception
Looks can be devious
I look strong, balanced, calm
supposedly impervious
Silence and Madness laugh
hysterical at your naivete
Truth
Silence sighs, cries
never lies, never dies
Madness supposedly sets you free
That never happened for me
Reality
Completely unwelcome
I cannot send the shadows away
To banish Silence and Madness
I must exile myself
Submission
It took a while to accept
the frequent visitations ...

depression
You’re always there but I rebuke you.
My eyes find you but I refuse you
My days are bright but you threaten dark
Lingering over me like a cloud above the sea
I long to outrun you, though too dry without you
Smiles find my gaze only to blur your shadow
Who could I be
Where could I go
These things ill never know because you control me.
My eyes find you but I refuse you
My days are bright but you threaten dark
Lingering over me like a cloud above the sea
I long to outrun you, though too dry without you
Smiles find my gaze only to blur your shadow

These things ill never know because you control me.

broken glass
beautifully broken I awake standing on shattered glass
I can feel the shards puncture my feet but I feel no urge to move
maybe the pain is what my body craves, or maybe ive just become so numb to what hurts me
either way im frozen
I look down slowly as my mind generically takes in my surroundings
blood.
almost immediately my hands fall to the glass.
i clasp a piece in my grip and watch the red river flow from my hand
its nothing like the pain ive felt before
its euphoric.
its captivatingly calm.
i am alive.

I wish u were here to advise me through this hell hole called life.
I've been so numb lately...,
I just wanna be with u, feel your hugs
Hear your laugh.
Lol, it's so hard, I miss u so much
I dont know how much longer I can hold on,
I'm trying to be strong
Fear and pain consuming every thought,
Makes me wanna give up.
So many times he tempts me,
That devil of a man named “DEATH”
Calling to me, his sweet seductive voice,
Promising peace,...so much peace
Mentally screaming for help,
Emotionally done for,
I just need him...

An Endless Dance
On a bitter cold winters night in the poorest part of town.
Where abandoned homes and factories crumble slowly down.
A discarded place that once stood proud still was someone’s home.
There in a room of family gatherings one sat all alone.
A grimy soul in tattered clothes and ill fitting worn out shoes.
The kind of man that’s turned away with out the least excuse.
In earlier times when he was young he dressed so very well.
His honor earned was taken when he accidentally fell.
Stricken to a weaker state with the impairment to his mind.
A mean and...

Missing you
A magnitude of
Solitude
Is boxing me up
Tight at night
I live alone without you...
My reputation
On these streets is no good
With the demons
They twist me, wring my feelings out
They kiss my lonesome losses
I live alone without you...
What I love
Or enjoy to do
I loose interest in
When all my lost hope is in
Missing you
Missing your picture,
Your smile,
Your calm exterior,
Your organized approach
I'm alone without your
Warm assurance ...
Solitude
