The Station
Grown weary on this road I travel
I need to get some rest in
Watching as my life unravels
Undergoing vigorous mental testing
What am I running from
And where am I heading to
My heart beats like a silent drum
The haze of life i can't see through
Trying to out race my past
In the future to get lost
The present seems to last
And my history it will cost
Isolated along the road
A lonely station I see
Need to refuel before I explode
And get back...
I need to get some rest in
Watching as my life unravels
Undergoing vigorous mental testing
What am I running from
And where am I heading to
My heart beats like a silent drum
The haze of life i can't see through
Trying to out race my past
In the future to get lost
The present seems to last
And my history it will cost
Isolated along the road
A lonely station I see
Need to refuel before I explode
And get back...

Ramblings Of The Walking Dead
These moments of silence are torture. Im so sick of being alone. I want human interaction. I want someone to talk to and look at me and see me. This lonliness consumes me. I feel alone no matter how many people are around. I dont know what to do anymore. I can't keep feeling like this forever. This darkness that has been with me since my childhood. I want it to end. I set myself up constantly for disappointment by putting my trust and faith in people. They always let me down. Does anyone really care about me. If i died would it have an effect on anyones life? I dont think anyones life would...

Living the lie doesnt make it the truth
Why can't i get this feeling of emptiness to go away?
Why do i feel disappointed that i woke up every day?
Just another day of hating myself and putting up a front
Like im fine and nothings bothering me, my self esteem is taking the brunt
I know that Im worthless so how could anyone want me?
I can never become the person they'd want me to be
Constantly second and third guessing myself makes me act so erratic
My thoughts are so disjointed that it all just seems like static
Constant barrage of "you're not shit",...

young age of 49 years basically simply

Cancer .
I realise that first lie cut deep way beyond a flesh wound. No entry or exit marks it just ricocheted from my head to my heart and stayed with a nauseous feelings of complete dismay . Cancer just walked in and I thought it’s going to take him away and I can’t do anything apart from words of encouragement and kindness and compassion and bucket loads of understanding.
You told me when I was eighteen years old in a very vulnerable situation as I had left my home and family behind after an incident that changed my life from the moment I walked out the door. Fear and loss and feeling...

Disappearance
9/30
Sunday night,
desperate for sleep,
I pushed you away
when you crawled up
and tried to sleep
between my thighs
I am old, sweet cat,
your weight obstructs
the flow of blood
I turned this way, that,
and drifted off--
Did I, perhaps, leave you offended?
You awoke at first light
demanding I open the kitty door
and off you went
all gray stealth of smoke
disappearing into the hazy day, ...

Social Anxiety
I wasn’t made for crowds
I realize tonight
I’m in a bar
With open scars
And fear that grips me tight
The lively vibe should ease my mind
Should talk and interact
Instead I’m stuck inside my head
And don’t know how to act
Topics randomly pop up
Each person makes their comment
The urge to speak takes over
Followed by the urge to vomit
I look around the table
And I smile and I nod
I start to feel I don’t fit in
And now the urge to sob
I blink away the tears that come ...

Navalny On Jeopardy
2/30
“Listen, I’ve got something very obvious to tell you. You’re not allowed to give up.
If they decide to kill me, it means that we are incredibly strong." ~ Navalny
(Quoted by our own Ahavati)
When I think of him, his last day,
I think of him there in the courtroom
behind the shatter-proof glass
grinning at Putin's judge,
joking with Putin's judge ...

White British stupidity: a basically naturally innate characteristic or a prized vacuity, worked on rather assiduously?
By Stanley Collymore
Unrealistically, unchristian Britons:
real as well as clearly imaginary
proselytizing ones; you know
the sort, are angrily up in arms, as they
allegedly, but rather hypocritically and
dishonestly openly claim that several
white school children and effectively
predominantly boys are increasingly
simply converted to Islam, in British
schools. This false lurid accusation
coming very incredibly from people
residing in a country, Britain, where

A SUNSET TO NEVER FORGET
Sunset takes me back to July 4, 2023
A time so painful so unforgetful
When I felt it all weigh on me
Remembering what was once beautiful
The depression that clinged in my heart
That stabbed me like a daybreak
That made me feel to tear apart
Like a vampire getting charred in the sun's wake
Torn in many pieces, what my mind misses
The torment of a heartbreak
The one thing in life no one wishes
Only a mnemonic of fiery tears unable to fake
All alone at my humble home
Rejecting outings with my family
I...
