Roar
Eating ravioli from a family-size tin can. Too much
life and reality in one fuckin' day. Root canal and a
sandwich at Subway. Lack of sleep and debauchery's
cliche, choking on an arsonist-filtered cigarette. My
Parakeet suffering from a compulsive disorder. A
pothole swallowed my SUV. Wondering which can
of Chef Boyardee I will eat tomorrow. Too much
reality in one fuckin' day. Whatever happened
to Captain Kangaroo?

Fear
Fears
I fear what is inside of me
I fear my darkest thoughts
I fear I won’t control myself
The battle in me lost
Tomorrow is a new day
I fear how it will end
I fear that it’s another one
A day without a friend
The fears control my thinking
I question every step
Will today I make one more mistake?
Will today hold my last breath?
I fear the end is coming
So I write down fear and pain
I share my fear with others
Otherwise I’d go insane
I fear there’s someone out there
Who is...
I fear what is inside of me
I fear my darkest thoughts
I fear I won’t control myself
The battle in me lost
Tomorrow is a new day
I fear how it will end
I fear that it’s another one
A day without a friend
The fears control my thinking
I question every step
Will today I make one more mistake?
Will today hold my last breath?
I fear the end is coming
So I write down fear and pain
I share my fear with others
Otherwise I’d go insane
I fear there’s someone out there
Who is...

Reasons
A shot to clear my mind
A smoke to ease the thoughts
A thunderstorm surrounds me
Crying with me cause I’m lost
A prayer to give me hope
A meal to survive
A coffee that keeps me awake
To write my pain at night
A husband that I lean on
A child to make it clear
There’s more to life than I expect
Although at times not clear
A heart that is no longer mine
I had to give away
I know he would care for it more
Than I would anyway
A smile to mask the grieving
A laughter made of lies ...

The Price of Depression
Depression steals so much from me
My smiles, memories
The good ones I somehow let go
The bad ones on repeat
The joy that I once felt for things
It slowly disappeared
And now there’s no joy left in me
Replaced with tears and fears
I try to do it all to smile
To give my heart a purpose
I try in vain and go insane
And deep inside I know this
My family is my reason now
Waking up became a chore
I do not leave so they don’t grieve
I feel they deserve more
I smile at the things I should ...

To give my heart a purpose

And deep inside I know this

I do not leave so they don’t grieve
I feel they deserve more

What Comes After
It was never the throws of passion
that we shared together that I miss
most about you, it was what came
after...
It wasn't the long walks in the woods
to get lost together that I remember
most about our weekend getaways,
it was what came after...
It wasn't being able to see your face
after too many hours at work that
got me threw the days, it was what
came after...
It was the look in your eyes as we
stared endlessly at each other for
what seemed like an eternity on end
It was the lack of fear...

Poetry Art
The early-night entertainment that
usually, singers were partly
dedicated to culture
we're told all poets appearing were
know and often read poetry in clubs
(perhaps not in working men's)
the stage was beautifully decorated
with shifting light according to the
drama unfolding
the panel judging their effort were
dressed for the occasion, the public
looked solemn this, was serious
the young men who appeared were
dressed in white suits and white ties
they all had a massive amount of
curly hair....

Some days we just have to show up
We see it every day
in the vacant look
of people we love
or a strangers silent plea
Staring, just staring at mothing at all
not even seeing our dreams
as if the soul is on hold
and we're playing a role
A commitment to life
that's worn us out
and we're too tired to compete
in the rat race of existence
These are the bad days
as dishes pile up in the sink
feeling hungover getting out of bed
because we just don't care
Everything is harder
even putting on socks *why bother*

One arm dragging.
Growing pains.
One arm dragging on the floor.
I had you,
Unfit,
to be called.
Raw expression,
Depression.
Not fit, to be called a Mum.

fire and ghosts
the fire
lit up
ghosts,
they glided
around
the black
sands
of death,
exiled
from home,
dancers
trespass
through
these dreams.

Something's missing
100 piece puzzle
With 99 pieces
A dog walker
With no leashes
An island
With no beaches
A peach tree
With no peaches
A truck
With no hitches
A house
With no kitchen
A billionaire
With no riches
An open cut
With no stitches
Students
With no teachers
Halloween
With no witches
Then there's me
And something's missing
With 99 pieces
A dog walker
With no leashes
An island
With no beaches
A peach tree
With no peaches
A truck
With no hitches
A house
With no kitchen
A billionaire
With no riches
An open cut
With no stitches
Students
With no teachers
Halloween
With no witches
Then there's me
And something's missing

Resilient Bloom
In fields of sorrow, a lone flower weeps,
Petals hanging heavy, with secrets to keep.
Its vibrant colors muted, by the weight of despair,
A reminder of beauty lost, beyond repair.
Each petal a tear, shed in silent grief,
A symbol of love that fades like a leaf.
Bent beneath unspoken, heavy strain,
The flower wilts, its spirit drained.
In sorrow's grasp, its spirit true,
Unyielding strength, in all it knew.
Through trials and tears, in the gloom,
A guiding light, a resilient bloom.
Petals hanging heavy, with secrets to keep.
Its vibrant colors muted, by the weight of despair,
A reminder of beauty lost, beyond repair.
Each petal a tear, shed in silent grief,
A symbol of love that fades like a leaf.
Bent beneath unspoken, heavy strain,
The flower wilts, its spirit drained.
In sorrow's grasp, its spirit true,
Unyielding strength, in all it knew.
Through trials and tears, in the gloom,
A guiding light, a resilient bloom.

Living dead
Look and you'll see me
A light bulb fading
Ghostly spectre
Dead but still breathing
Worn out and waiting
Time draws near
Bated anticipation
Without any fear
I suffer from afflictions
The worst of their kind
A maze of delusions
Lost in my mind
Wake up everyday
Just sit and stare
No need for affection
Without any cares
My thoughts are shells
Fired from a gun
Direction is cohesive
Scattering to oblivion
A fireworks brilliance
For all to amaze
Burnt...
