Bad Choices
Does it drive you mad deep inside?
Knowing that I read through the lies
It’s your tone the suggestion implied
As darkness slowly claims your eyes
Eventually the wheels fall off the car
Tired engine sputters going nowhere
Too busy wishing on some falling star
Always present but never really there
Never wrote a word to those songs
Lent my mind recorded some voices
Putting focus back where it belongs
You kill your music with bad choices

Drugged Up & Ready To Die
Your mouth says one thing
But the drugs say another
Why don't you sober up
And spend more time with your lover
The milky way is vast
Search for wisdom or hang yourself to dry
You should have pity on your soul
Pull the pins out from your eyes
The candle blows out
May the sky burn up in smoke
You give everyone an ulcer
Such an asshole, such a joke
Say cheese scumbag
You were once loved but now we all hate
I'd love to cut the disease out of you
Have you thought about your fate?
But the drugs say another
Why don't you sober up
And spend more time with your lover
The milky way is vast
Search for wisdom or hang yourself to dry
You should have pity on your soul
Pull the pins out from your eyes
The candle blows out
May the sky burn up in smoke
You give everyone an ulcer
Such an asshole, such a joke
Say cheese scumbag
You were once loved but now we all hate
I'd love to cut the disease out of you
Have you thought about your fate?

Come To Bed
Why don't you come to bed?
Why don't you come to bed stop pacing back and forth?
What happened earlier and what was said means nothing in the afterthought?
Why don't you come to bed and just lay down?
I can see the weariness and the lines and the frown that you have on your face
lay down
why don't you come to bed and just forget about it?
Yeah I know it's easy for me to say forget about it
because you didn't experience anything like that before but I have
I see that you're angry and you're...

burn
come fiercely and burn the night
ashes on the wind keen
I'm in no mood now blow
insincerity of hope bleed truth
I am no toy
heathenistic I get from my knees and rise
insulting larceny stole my joy
petty thief of the heart
I want it back
I am willing a debt to my soul be paid
jilted storm where will you rain?
inside my pain you are welcome
twist my feelings until they are honest
lustful hex you are next to bleed tears
cold demeanor in the skies of a trickster
I hurt but I will get over it ...
ashes on the wind keen
I'm in no mood now blow
insincerity of hope bleed truth
I am no toy
heathenistic I get from my knees and rise

These Days - A Collaboration With WillowsWhimsies
Where are the real souls
Unafraid to be themselves
Scarred and raw with honest words
Why are hands more often open
Than hearts and minds
More willing to take than share
What happened to unapologetic truth
Finding joy in less than more
Opening windows rather than closing doors
Who said it was okay
To make emotions unavailable
In the name of not getting hurt
I’d give my next heartbeat
To receive true sincerity
But it seems these days that’s a rarity
Unafraid to be themselves
Scarred and raw with honest words
Why are hands more often open
Than hearts and minds
More willing to take than share
What happened to unapologetic truth
Finding joy in less than more
Opening windows rather than closing doors
Who said it was okay
To make emotions unavailable
In the name of not getting hurt
I’d give my next heartbeat
To receive true sincerity
But it seems these days that’s a rarity

My Diamond Rock
Do you know what it means to be able to find that someone, who has changed your life around, for the betterment of life itself. For have you ever had that someone, who gets you and really understands, what you had been through most of your entire life. For sure have you ever had someone, who can finish your train and sentences of thoughts word for word. For how many of us who did have the opportunity, to find someone who became a shining example of real, love and support and encouragement. TO be able to share with you a love that is true. But it was you to afraid to face the truth, that...

In Your Face
What you say to a poet should be
carefully measured, not edited.
Do not mistake caramel
and the sweetness
of silence for censorship.
If she is blind, she will still peel
one good layer of your laugh,
she will have an analyst come
to your window in the night
and scrape the breath
from your pane to ensure
you are not sneaking a secret --
if she is not blind she will
poke holes through the air,
a pocket to insert your 7th
grade fear of mundane,
you're exquisite talent
for evasion as a child, ...

I'LL BOTHER YOU NO MORE
YES
I am a slow
learner but
once I learn
it is never
forgotten or
worth spending
idle time trying
to go through
a dead-end..
I
tried being coy,
casual and up front.
sometimes feeling
a brief ray of hope;
BUT
I have learned another
lesson in the life
of a wannabe poet:
"Enough fooling yourself."
I
will never bother
YOU again.
P.S. No! I'm not leaving DUP. Thanks for your encouragement.

Two Lane Highway
It’s a quiet road where one lane heads north, the other south.
I travel life on both sides of this road especially at night.
Never ever meeting the illustrious middle.
Always sunny on the north side, never allowing pain and grief in this cavernous hole of loneliness.
The south side is where I live most comfortably.
Where my real self dwells-
It knows my pain and inner most sorrow.
The disappointment of failures only said aloud in my head and immediately denied.
In silent desperation I drive...

Hermetic Breakdown (collab with Vision_of_insanity)
Here I sit alone and broken
My owner is annoyed
Windows won't even open
I lay dormant here, stranded in a church parking lot
Jesus won't help me
The ignition clicks, the engine is shot
Maybe it's time to meet that junk pile in the sky
If I had wings, I'd surely learn how to fly
Inside I die.
A slow demise.
A stuttered stop.
My purpose was forgot.
My owners empathy is unwise.
My detriment is no surprise.
The church is an empty lot.
There's no god that I've got.
Just brutal sun skies.
Scrutinizing...
My owner is annoyed

Empathy
the ability to
understand and share the feelings
of others
This was too long for the Author's note so I am just putting it here.
When someone paints you as a monster or other things it's not nice. If someone feels like they need to kick me more because I said that then do what you need to I guess. I had to send someone a message due to an issue and it was hard because in this case I didn't think they meant anything bad by it and I continued to stress about how to address it because I didn't want them to feel bad. Turns out it was just...

When you one day fathom a brother,
(raised by the same father and mother),
proudly display the hat
of parochial scat...
you'll wish your brother was another!
