Another cut
Right as the rain
Am I really though.
Clothed in pain.
Half tattered soul.
Is what it is
Just another notch in the belt
Another line running my wrist.
So much it's no longer felt.
Bath water blatant red.
Feeling woozy light in head.
Lay back enjoy this poem
Remember what I've said.
Am I really though.
Clothed in pain.
Half tattered soul.
Is what it is
Just another notch in the belt
Another line running my wrist.
So much it's no longer felt.
Bath water blatant red.
Feeling woozy light in head.
Lay back enjoy this poem
Remember what I've said.

Sailing or Sinking?
Clearing out my conscious seems impossible tonight
so I feign diversion for relief
All these feelings and theories of mine
seem worthless in the grand scheme
Wondering if I belong because I view this world in different hues
and most will remain blind as I struggle to find any use
Ignorance holds no candle to an enlightened soul
but still we drug ourselves and become dumbed down
Starlight eyes and an elusive mind
Hoping something might numb my brain
and remove this double-edged curse from me
Six sides of a metaphor...
so I feign diversion for relief
All these feelings and theories of mine
seem worthless in the grand scheme
Wondering if I belong because I view this world in different hues
and most will remain blind as I struggle to find any use
Ignorance holds no candle to an enlightened soul
but still we drug ourselves and become dumbed down
Starlight eyes and an elusive mind
Hoping something might numb my brain
and remove this double-edged curse from me

Eternally Waiting for You
Celeste, my love, my heart is shattered
Into a million pieces without you
I lay awake at night
Thinking of all the things I should have done differently
Memories of us linger
Like a haunting melody
I can't help but yearn
For your touch, your kiss, your body
I wake up every morning
Only to remember you're gone
And I'm forced to relive
Every bad memory of you running away
I know I made mistakes
And caused you so much pain
But darling, please believe me
I'll love you forever, in vain
The door...
Into a million pieces without you
I lay awake at night
Thinking of all the things I should have done differently
Memories of us linger
Like a haunting melody
I can't help but yearn
For your touch, your kiss, your body
I wake up every morning
Only to remember you're gone
And I'm forced to relive
Every bad memory of you running away
I know I made mistakes
And caused you so much pain
But darling, please believe me
I'll love you forever, in vain
The door...

Hopes Of Emptiness
The pot so beautiful is now shattered like a wine glass.
The paint had been worked on for years.
Now it's destroyed by fears.
The paint had been wiped by the tears she shed.
Maybe even all the promises she kept.
She could no longer keep it in her head.
And so an explosion of monsters and fears was made.
Wiping the smiles off people she had once loved.
Wiping the memories of the ones she still loved.
All of a sudden,they started acting strange.
Smiles and laughter is something they could no longer exchange.
And...

Un-Awoken
How do I find inner peace
My shakes return with ease
Chest tightens, lights flashing
Bones crack of windy leaves
My voice shutters, open mouth
My tears flutter, blank house
Limb lightens, brain crashing
Dry breath now menial dowse
I can barely hold my pen
My mind as clean as a pig-pen
Ears are clouded even open
Dreams escape un-awoken
My knees quake to give way
Will my mind return, stay
Thought frightens, marks dashing
Nightmares will not fly away
Chest tightens - Limb lightens - Though...
My shakes return with ease
Chest tightens, lights flashing
Bones crack of windy leaves
My voice shutters, open mouth
My tears flutter, blank house
Limb lightens, brain crashing
Dry breath now menial dowse
I can barely hold my pen
My mind as clean as a pig-pen
Ears are clouded even open
Dreams escape un-awoken
My knees quake to give way
Will my mind return, stay
Thought frightens, marks dashing
Nightmares will not fly away
Chest tightens - Limb lightens - Though...

HolDing The DaiSieS.
Papa and his babies,
Took along,the daisies,
Trying not 2 cry,
Inside the car.
Mother and her babies,
Took along,the daisies,
Trying not 2 cry,
Inside the car.
In the Cem-e-terry,
Papa and his babies,
Stand beside the casket,
in the ground.
Papa and his babies,
Pray,with insincerity,
Hoping they,
Can get back,
2 normal life.

Ocean’s breakers rule the coastline that guards
The land from sliding into the sea
Shallow water and sand dunes were once lands
The sea dastardly pilfered and demanded.
The breakers have broken all, yet want more
The foam of greed is in the breakers’ soul
Ocean’s breakers rule the coastline that guards
The land from sliding into the sea
Shallow water and sand dunes were once lands
The sea dastardly pilfered and demanded.
The breakers have broken all, yet want more
The foam of greed is in the breakers’ soul

Eaten
I miss myself when I was whole
Drown myself quicksand of coal
Collapse under pressure-heat
Transfer existence of fleshless meat
Figment of my imagination weak
Mental gymnastics, public feat
Hide myself behind cold lies
Eat my soul as I cannot find
Will I ever be myself
Die again to ring the bells
What shall I say in the future
Tear out all my dirty sutures
I want to be honest with someone
I want my mind to be undone
I want myself to be heard
No longer with plain butchered
Send it all - End...
Drown myself quicksand of coal
Collapse under pressure-heat
Transfer existence of fleshless meat
Figment of my imagination weak
Mental gymnastics, public feat
Hide myself behind cold lies
Eat my soul as I cannot find
Will I ever be myself
Die again to ring the bells
What shall I say in the future
Tear out all my dirty sutures
I want to be honest with someone
I want my mind to be undone
I want myself to be heard
No longer with plain butchered
Send it all - End...

I just can’t
A world, stable and solid,
Suddenly wrecked and destroyed.
A place where I felt safe and significant,
Forever lost to the void.
Change in management,
A new direction, a fresh start.
But not for me, not for this future,
In this drama, I won’t play my part.
On this stage my safe haven will shatter.
Crumbling, tearing are the walls I once built,
I can’t step into the light, with my thoughts so dark.
I’ll remain stuck with my everlasting guilt.
Suddenly wrecked and destroyed.
A place where I felt safe and significant,
Forever lost to the void.
Change in management,
A new direction, a fresh start.
But not for me, not for this future,
In this drama, I won’t play my part.
On this stage my safe haven will shatter.
Crumbling, tearing are the walls I once built,
I can’t step into the light, with my thoughts so dark.
I’ll remain stuck with my everlasting guilt.

Red Fish...Blue Fish
I do not like it here
I do like it there...
I do not like it here
do not like
it's taste
it's color
it's sound
I do not like it here
I do not like
it's feel
it's smell
do not like it's hurt
I do not like it here
there is where
I want to be
I do not like it here
I do like it there...
I do not like it here
do not like
it's taste
it's color
it's sound
I do not like it here
I do not like
it's feel
it's smell
do not like it's hurt
I do not like it here
there is where
I want to be
I do not like it here

Marching.
I am numb,
A mannequin painted by my own indecision,
And dressed by my lack of vision,
Destined to resent and regret,
Passive and uninspired.
But I march with an army,
Of faceless and distant bodies.
Each a hollow shell,
Mindless wonderers,
Vacant and idle.
And the gunfire rings on,
As I take step after step,
Looking past the horizon,
Seemingly steady and apparently unfazed.
But I am not there,
Absorbed in drowning out the voices,
Hopeless in their pursuit to wake me,
Begging me to address my sorrows, ...
A mannequin painted by my own indecision,
And dressed by my lack of vision,
Destined to resent and regret,
Passive and uninspired.
But I march with an army,
Of faceless and distant bodies.
Each a hollow shell,
Mindless wonderers,
Vacant and idle.
And the gunfire rings on,
As I take step after step,
Looking past the horizon,
Seemingly steady and apparently unfazed.
But I am not there,
Absorbed in drowning out the voices,
Hopeless in their pursuit to wake me,
Begging me to address my sorrows, ...
