part of the crowd
let me
hurry
and rush
uptown,
let me
become
part of
the crowd,
it's lonely
being
just one.

Who are you
Who are you, staring back at me?
Someone I don’t want to see.
Your eyes are hollow, your hands are still,
You’re the weight I can’t ever kill.
I try to talk, but you just blink,
Are you afraid of what I think?
Tell me, do you even care?
Or are you just a ghost in there?
Who are you, and what’s your name?
Do you hate me? Am I to blame?
Why do you wear this broken face,
Like nothing’s left to take its place?
I’m begging you, say something true—
Who are you?
When did you stop looking my way?
Was it when...
Someone I don’t want to see.
Your eyes are hollow, your hands are still,
You’re the weight I can’t ever kill.
I try to talk, but you just blink,
Are you afraid of what I think?
Tell me, do you even care?
Or are you just a ghost in there?
Who are you, and what’s your name?
Do you hate me? Am I to blame?
Why do you wear this broken face,
Like nothing’s left to take its place?
I’m begging you, say something true—
Who are you?
When did you stop looking my way?
Was it when...

A Drifter’s Screaming Silence
What have we done to the world?
It’s a carcass now, rotting under the weight of wallets,
and the vultures are us, picking at the scraps,
laughing with mouths full of blood and lies.
Love? Don’t make me laugh.
Love is a transaction,
a handshake in the dark,
a hollow promise sealed with a kiss
that tastes like rust.
It’s a glittered-up lie,
sold in the backrooms of broken hearts.
And the girls—God, the girls—
their youth melts like ice under streetlights.
They trade their innocence for tequila shots,
for a fistful...

It's time to revaluate
They say that as we get older we are supposed, to become more wiser to have learned, right from wrong. 🤔 But yet we continue, to make the same old habits become the norm, then asking ourselves what am I doing wrong. 🤨 WHY can't I find myself again within thyself the person, that I was before I changed from them to now. 🤔 Just wanting something better for my life, yet I'm still living in confusion and drama and chaos, 😮 putting my self esteem in a place that has been proven, it's not a mind game but it's I who keeps getting in the same old situations. For sure...

My Last Goodbye
I've been searching a lifetime for true love
But it's not real
And I've been denying that fact
With every heartbreak and trauma they've given me
I've unravelled
And I've been denying that fact
I have nothing left to give
To this world
So take this as my resignation
The shows gotta end some time
And this
This is my last goodbye
I wish that the past could be erased somehow
It's permanent
And I've been denying that fact
And once upon a time I'd still love you so
But those days are gone
And I don't...
But it's not real
And I've been denying that fact
With every heartbreak and trauma they've given me
I've unravelled
And I've been denying that fact
I have nothing left to give
To this world
So take this as my resignation
The shows gotta end some time
And this
This is my last goodbye
I wish that the past could be erased somehow
It's permanent
And I've been denying that fact
And once upon a time I'd still love you so
But those days are gone
And I don't...

"I'm Fine"
Stepping outside to another grey sky
Another day when you ask yourself "Why?"
Running to buses to make it to work
Some days you can't help but feel stuck
Please tell me, what am I living for?
I tell her "I'm Fine"
Though I can't lie
It took me an hour just to get out of bed
I let out a sigh
Please tell me why
My heart feels empty and there's a pain in my head
As hard as I try
It's hard to not cry
I wonder some days if I'd be better off dead
I tell her "I'm Fine"
I tell her "I'm...
Another day when you ask yourself "Why?"
Running to buses to make it to work

Please tell me, what am I living for?

Though I can't lie
It took me an hour just to get out of bed
I let out a sigh
Please tell me why
My heart feels empty and there's a pain in my head
As hard as I try
It's hard to not cry

Song of a rotting corpse in psychoanalysis
a narcissistic dreamer with an outburst of
mania with a cracked mind, hoosegow, decaying
antiquated parrot wanting a cracker with
a hideous impersonation of being human with
a leprous mask, stinking up the place but it's
your dime, listening to the song of a
rotting corpse

False Dawn
Is this salvation, or another game?
A fire untamed, a voice unnamed.
I see it now, the golden light,
A fire burning through the night.
It calls my name, it speaks my truth,
A fragile promise, a reckless youth.
It lifts me high, it holds me near,
A fleeting love that hides the fear.
It feels like freedom, it feels divine,
A rushing flood, a crooked sign.
But every step, I lose my ground,
A tethered soul, forever bound.
It sings so sweet, it burns so bright,
But it’s just another endless night.
Is this...

Willing Prey
What are you, if not the end?
A faceless void I can’t defend.
I feel you creeping through my veins,
A silent hymn, a quiet pain.
You take, you twist, you pull apart,
My flesh, my soul, my beating heart.
I scream, I fight, but it’s in vain,
You are the dark I can’t contain.
You strip me down to raw decay,
And still, I kneel; I’m willing prey.
Your shadow crawls, it claims my skin—
The void begins where I begin.
No gods, no light, no path to run—
You are the night, I am undone.
I see you watching, cold and...
A faceless void I can’t defend.
I feel you creeping through my veins,
A silent hymn, a quiet pain.
You take, you twist, you pull apart,
My flesh, my soul, my beating heart.
I scream, I fight, but it’s in vain,
You are the dark I can’t contain.
You strip me down to raw decay,
And still, I kneel; I’m willing prey.
Your shadow crawls, it claims my skin—
The void begins where I begin.
No gods, no light, no path to run—
You are the night, I am undone.
I see you watching, cold and...

Rejected
My heart and soul were
shattered
The moment you rejected me
As your mom
When you banned me from your life
My life changed forever.
I could no longer claim
That I was a good mother
Because who leaves a good mother behind?
Years have passed
And I know in my heart
That I was a good mom
But I was rejected anyway..
My heart is still healing
And my soul is still cracked
But I'm learning how to live
My life.
And I breathe through the pain.

Unmaking
Before the first breath, I was the end.
The silence no time could transcend.
I am the truth beneath all lies,
The death that swallows even skies.
There is no light, no spark, no flame—
Only the hollow that bears no name.
Do you hear it? The fading hum?
The pulse of all undone, undone.
I am the shadow, I am the maw,
The crack where every thought will fall.
I take, I unmake, I leave no scar—
The void eternal, where none are.
No voice, no form, no star will gleam—
I am the end of every dream.
You think...
The silence no time could transcend.
I am the truth beneath all lies,
The death that swallows even skies.
There is no light, no spark, no flame—
Only the hollow that bears no name.
Do you hear it? The fading hum?
The pulse of all undone, undone.
I am the shadow, I am the maw,
The crack where every thought will fall.
I take, I unmake, I leave no scar—
The void eternal, where none are.
No voice, no form, no star will gleam—
I am the end of every dream.
You think...

Beneath My Skin
I found you shivering in the dark,
A wounded thing, a dying spark.
I wrapped my hands around your flame,
Whispered love, and took your name.
You call it torment; I call it grace,
To leave my mark on every space.
You begged for peace; I gave you fire.
Your broken heart became my choir.
Fall into me—
I’ll make you whole.
Break yourself—
To heal your soul.
I am the hunger beneath your skin,
The sacred void where you begin.
I wear your pain like a second heart,
A tapestry I pulled apart.
You tried to...
A wounded thing, a dying spark.
I wrapped my hands around your flame,
Whispered love, and took your name.
You call it torment; I call it grace,
To leave my mark on every space.
You begged for peace; I gave you fire.
Your broken heart became my choir.
Fall into me—
I’ll make you whole.
Break yourself—
To heal your soul.
I am the hunger beneath your skin,
The sacred void where you begin.
I wear your pain like a second heart,
A tapestry I pulled apart.
