Dear God
Dear God,
Can you hear me
I'm lost again
Please come find me
Demons, like buzzards circling
Waiting to feast upon me
Can you save me
From this awful end
Can you save me
From myself again
I've done everything I can do
I'm in pieces bring lots of glue
I've burned my wings
From flying to high
If it offends me
Pluck out my eye
Curiosity killed the cat
Now I know why
Save my soul
By taking my life
End this sorrow
And just let me die
Can you hear me
I'm lost again
Please come find me
Demons, like buzzards circling
Waiting to feast upon me
Can you save me
From this awful end
Can you save me
From myself again
I've done everything I can do
I'm in pieces bring lots of glue
I've burned my wings
From flying to high
If it offends me
Pluck out my eye
Curiosity killed the cat
Now I know why
Save my soul
By taking my life
End this sorrow
And just let me die

Today’s Mood…
v.1/
2 o’clock lost in mid-afternoon sighs
I didn’t ask,
For this much homework to be assigned.
\v.2\
Reminders left to check
Avoiding my unread texts
Again...
/pre-ch/
Feelings are on the edge
Of the railing today
Not worrying about what train comes when
Do I go south or west?
This compass just won’t follow
Wherever I want it to go...
\chorus\
Oh today,
Who ditches me in my dreams
Do I smile, because you need
To be happy when I’m awake?
Cause...

Dear Diary; I have Demon maggots in my soul
Focus on the smoke, just focus
Swirling, jagged and smooth in the air
The thin wood hanging out between my fingers
The skyline reflecting the indifferent sun
Deep breaths, fill those lungs of mystery smoke
The cheap fan in my one hand to spread it out
Thighs on display as I play "body" by mother mother for Facebook
Recording someone else singing my thoughts
"Im so tired of this body" indeed I am
Desperately trying to ground myself in reality
Torn someplace between the the loop of the past
And being hyper aware of the future ...
Swirling, jagged and smooth in the air
The thin wood hanging out between my fingers
The skyline reflecting the indifferent sun
Deep breaths, fill those lungs of mystery smoke
The cheap fan in my one hand to spread it out
Thighs on display as I play "body" by mother mother for Facebook
Recording someone else singing my thoughts
"Im so tired of this body" indeed I am
Desperately trying to ground myself in reality
Torn someplace between the the loop of the past
And being hyper aware of the future ...

Finding Angel
She said goodbye for the final time
All she wanted was to be loved
She won't be there
When they get home tonight
Finding Angel
I saw your smile was gone today
Was there nothing I could do?
You slowly faded from light to gray
Paler than a midnight moon
Finding Angel
We found you in your secret place
Deep in the darkened woods
The only place where you could be safe
And felt like you were good
Finding Angel
The note said you no longer loved
You couldn't take anymore
You...
All she wanted was to be loved
She won't be there
When they get home tonight
Finding Angel
I saw your smile was gone today
Was there nothing I could do?
You slowly faded from light to gray
Paler than a midnight moon
Finding Angel
We found you in your secret place
Deep in the darkened woods
The only place where you could be safe
And felt like you were good
Finding Angel
The note said you no longer loved
You couldn't take anymore
You...

I am a kin to sorrow
Ever the sodden ground in the spring
I will take a few turns within—
Love has gone from me and these
days are all the same
Mourning like the endless rain
It is no fun
I will take a few turns within—
Love has gone from me and these
days are all the same
Mourning like the endless rain
It is no fun

And
As for your son, I will never live with him no more!
The hard seeds of hatred planted in him
I cannot but remember
And Time does not bring relief
Love, if I cry it don't matter
As I came up I knew myself only as a
little ghost
A sister with no skin
And now—World, I can't accept me
close enough!—
The hard seeds of hatred planted in him
I cannot but remember
And Time does not bring relief
Love, if I cry it don't matter
As I came up I knew myself only as a

A sister with no skin
And now—World, I can't accept me
close enough!—

Just piss off, you bloody useless, foreign interlopers!
By Stanley Collymore
How ignorant can one get? Idiots
claiming to be indigenously and
exclusively white Anglo-Saxon
descendants of this island
called Britain, when
irrefutably they're
nothing of the
kind!
And, furthermore, with irony
completely lost on these
morons that the real
Angles and Saxons were
Germans; the very people
these lowlife cretins have an
intrinsic distaste for and a deeply
embedded, vile hatred against....

Living ghost
She walks around
Through the decaying house
That once was filled with laughter
Now things look strange
And out of place
She feels she doesn't matter
Every once in a while
Strangers come around
When they can spare the time
They'll sit and stare
And say that they care
Tell her she's looking fine
But they're just playing host
To this living ghost
Who seems to be lost in her mind
Through the decaying house
That once was filled with laughter
Now things look strange
And out of place
She feels she doesn't matter
Every once in a while
Strangers come around
When they can spare the time
They'll sit and stare
And say that they care
Tell her she's looking fine
But they're just playing host
To this living ghost
Who seems to be lost in her mind

Into the Pit that I Adore
In the silence of night
I discard the dark
Shadows forever weeping
As I wretch my self deeper
A keeper of things long deplored
For I am restless longing for sight
Too dark are the stirrings of my musings
The light seldom visits me here, in the pit of my deliverance
I have bartered more for less
A Faustien scheme even he would be jealous of
In the fugue of tomorrow
I have bore witness to better days
To better ways to kill a cat
The sermon of a sour sacrifice
Holy begotten to my blunder
And still I...
I discard the dark
Shadows forever weeping
As I wretch my self deeper
A keeper of things long deplored
For I am restless longing for sight
Too dark are the stirrings of my musings
The light seldom visits me here, in the pit of my deliverance
I have bartered more for less
A Faustien scheme even he would be jealous of
In the fugue of tomorrow
I have bore witness to better days
To better ways to kill a cat
The sermon of a sour sacrifice
Holy begotten to my blunder
And still I...

Still
Beneath the sun there
Is darkness still
Between the embers
There is warmth
Underneath your eyes
There is burden
Before death
There is still time
And between your lips
There is no lies
The birds still chirp
In mourning
The tide still
Sees the shore
Between us
There is nothing
Yet your desire
Has despair in store
Is darkness still
Between the embers
There is warmth
Underneath your eyes
There is burden
Before death
There is still time
And between your lips
There is no lies
The birds still chirp
In mourning
The tide still
Sees the shore
Between us
There is nothing
Yet your desire
Has despair in store

Lost in a maze
My thoughts are an extensive world
The skies are dark
Clouds and fog hide
The lustrous beauty of the moon
Stars show a brief glimmer of hope
Through a silent break in the
Blanket covering the Wildwood
Where is my reprieve
From this eternal night?
I'm lost in a maze
With no boundaries
Everything is silent
No voices to guide me
All alone with no way home
Help
The skies are dark
Clouds and fog hide
The lustrous beauty of the moon
Stars show a brief glimmer of hope
Through a silent break in the
Blanket covering the Wildwood
Where is my reprieve
From this eternal night?
I'm lost in a maze
With no boundaries
Everything is silent
No voices to guide me
All alone with no way home
Help

Lucifer's Bitch
Undone.
Still in shock.
Disbelief.
Questioning everything.
Accepting nothing at face value.
Preparing.
Surely more too come.
Ironic.
Really.
So, so many tried.
To bring me here.
Down here.
Hurts.
Going to be a long time down.
This time.
Broke something.
This time.
Just need to breathe.
Been here before.
I think.
But I always believed.
I believed I was inherently...
