God's Forgotten Child
you sware you would reach the stars
but then you hit the wall
a sickness, a tragedy, a poor situation
or all of the above
I remember when you thrived
always said you were the best of us
time wasn't wasted
it was taken
and the sad truth is
you were a fucking champion
yet no one will ever know it
because you had to quit
suffering within your own head
these judgmental fucks say shit
but you can't prove them wrong
you've been crippled
god's forgotten child
I see the fire raging within
how you...

disabling the sky
what if
someone
disabled
the sky,
no more
morning sun,
no happy,
moving clouds,
no rainbows
stretching
out,
the blue
is gone,
there
is nothing,
but i
do not
have
to watch
the sameness
from my
disabled frame,
my mind
will bring
back
the sun,
the clouds,
the rainbows,
and the blue,
everything
will be
here again.

i cannot love myself
where is this
section
of night
that found
me sitting,
it began
to fall
over my head,
working
downward,
covering
my senses,
to misunderstand
the hour,
this is
the hours
of lovers,
for lovers
convenience,
i hide my face,
i hide
completely,
i can give
my love away,
but not
to myself.

How Absurd
Oh society
ignorant scum
let's gather round
come mock
us afflicted
few
satirical rocks
thrown at glass boxes
cynical jibes
at the peculiar soul
so misunderstood
autism oh bloody autism
villain of the horde
behold experts
with firm opinions held,
diagnosing with labels
judgments fervently in BOLD
claiming to understand
to comprehend
it knows no end.
this puzzle,
this riddle,
a sin in their eyes
rigid criteria rigid thought
failing...

inflated myths

washing line

distracting
alibis created

the drunk
The drunk
A thick plastic curtain of the type used in warehouses he could not see through
to other than shadowy figures moving around, he knew he saw a past that
no longer belonged to him.
He sat on the edge of his unmade bed, drinking warm beer, when a sharp knock
on the door of his flat
it was the landlord looking at him with contempt, saying he must pay the rent tomorrow or else!
Despair sizzled through his body needed a strong drink one mixed vodka and cold coffee,
while asking himself how it had come to this losing his job because he had...

Who is a verse maker
Poetry is an odd art form practised where there are more
poets then writers because everybody, especially when young
has a poem (usually hormonal) that needs expression, some end
up as art teachers and prefer not to speak of their youthful attempts.
Seasoned poets go to poetry meetings, rather like alcoholics go to AA
there is always some new way, to express old truths
some of the old crusty ones run poem magazines and have a firm opinion
on how poetry should be written; the best of them
care more about...

Capability (don't make me laugh)

What’s the difference
Always cunts out there
That think they know the score
If it don’t affect them
It don’t matter
When the shit comes
Remember don’t swallow it

i used to be
the helpful one
the one with all
the resources
i knew the
ins and outs
and all of the
secret trix
but now these
lessons i am
learning
teaching myself
come in colors
that i
never
knew existed
signs of
cPTSD
with a chronic
sleep disturbance
an eating
disorder and
substance use
to boot but
i can feel
myself
growing
growling back
